"Private Practice" Season Two DVD

After watching Season 2 of Private Practice, I will definetly be getting this DVD boxset. The artwork was released a few months ago by TVShowsOnDVD.com, and I love the cover, it definetly fits the style that the first season DVD had. The DVD will be released on September 15, 2009 for the US, but the UK may have to wait until March 2010 for this DVD, since we had to wait that long for Season 1.
.
I can't wait to see how this looks in person as I hope it matches Season 1 with it being shiny and embossed, so I'm waiting for the UK release so it matches with my Region 2 Season 1 DVD. If you haven't seen the series yet, then you should definetly get Season 1 (it's only 9 episodes long, so not much to watch) and catch up with the series in time for Season 3's debut in September.

"Dollhouse" Season One Review

Well I wasn't originally going to watch this series after reading some negative reviews and someone on MSN told me it wasn't worth watching, so I didn't watch it. But after a few months, just last week, I began to watch the series, mainly because I was bored and I had just finished watching Heroes Season 3 after catching up on that. I put on the first episode of the show after researching what it was about on Wikipedia and stuff, and I did enjoy and liked the pilot episode. It wasn't the best, but it had promise. And as I read from some reviews, that the series gets better as it goes along, that from episode 6 onwards is the best of the season, so I believed it, and remained watching the other episodes.
.
I definetly enjoyed the episodes that followed, episode 2, 3, 4 and 5 were all good, and I couldn't wait to watch episodes 6 onwards since they have been so positively viewed from other fans and critics. I found the series intriguing and compelling, it definetly caught my eye and it became one of my favourite seasons in the 2008-2009 season. Eliza Dushku is one of my favourite actresses, and she does an amazing job in the series as the main character Echo (formerly Caroline). The other characters are very likeable also, Sierra, Victor, Mellie, Topher, Dr. Claire Saunders, and even Adelle is likeable, even though she is a strict, bossy woman who runs the L.A. Dollhouse (there are more than one, scattered throughout the world).
.
I love the missions they go on (one of my personal favourites is when Sierra disguises herself as a chinese woman who works at a place where the identity of the Spy in the Dollhouse would be revealed, I found that scene fun when she had to go and make her way through the building). But the finale of season one became a favourite episode for me.
.
The finale was so amazing, the plot was fantastic, and the action in the episode is suspenseful and is definetly one of the best finales of 2009. What I loved most was when Alpha tried to destroy Echo's original memories as Caroline, but Echo has been implanted with her past mission alter-egos and made to be like Alpha, the villain. However, Echo pulls off some really cool fighting moves and saves her original memories. It had a very good cliffhanger, and I can't wait for Season 2 to begin.
.
Season 2 will begin on September 25, 2009 with 13 new episodes, starting with the first under the working title of "Vows". The DVD is already out in America, and the UK will enjoy the series when it comes to DVD on September 7, 2009.

"Private Practice" Season Two Review

Private Practice is a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, one of my favourite shows, and I didn't immediately watch the series, as I only watched Season One for the first time two months ago as I got the DVD for my birthday, in the UK, it only came out in March 2009, which is really bad. However, I really enjoyed Season 1 and I was glad I asked for it for my birthday. So I had some major catching up to do, as I didn't watch Season 2 immediately, and I finished watching season two earlier this week.
.
Season 2 had just begun on LIVING and I thought I would watch it and decide whether to just watch it once a week on the channel, or catch up on the internet, so I chose the latter, and I was very glad. Season 2 is by any means better than the first season, there are new problems each week, and the episodes are very captivating and watchable, so I will definitely buy the DVD when it comes out like next year for us in the UK.
.
One of the things I hated this season was Dell. I really don't like him, he was okay in the first season, but he really did my head in this season. He just involves himself with everything where his nose doesn't belong, and becomes way too personal with other people's problems and acts like a right huffy woman most of the season, and that really annoyed me.
.
But the best episode? I would say the finale, it was very shocking, and ended on a cliffhanger, like nearly every show in the 2008-2009 season. I think my favourite character this season was Violet, she was amazing, very relaxed and a great character while pregnant, and the ending? Well I won't spoil it but it puts Violet's and the baby's lives in jeapordy. Recomended? If you're a Grey's fan and a fan of Addison Montgomery (which I am) then definetly watch this series.

Find Yourself with "Lost" Season 5 DVD

The fifth season of ABC's LOST will hit stores in America on December 8, 2009. I pre-ordered this DVD quite a while ago now, I absolutely adore the season, it is my favourite season so far of Lost, and to have it in my collection will be amazing, but since I got it from Amazon.com, and I live in the UK, it may take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive to me, so it could be just before or just after Christmas when I get it.
.
I am quite sad that this is the penultimate season, and that Season 6 will be the last, especially since I'm basically a new fan. But I have high hopes for Season 6 (I hope Shannon will come back, and I am so glad Claire has been confirmed to be a regular), and I know that I will not be disappointed.

"Harper's Island" - The DVD Edition

Once the series ended, I knew that I would want the DVD when it is released. And very soon on TVShowsOnDVD, the artwork was released. I love the cover, I'm just not a big fan of "The DVD Edition" like they could have used a better kind of edition, like "The Blood Red Edition" or something, I'm not the best at making them names up.
.
The DVD will be released on September 8, 2009 in the United States, and a release date has yet to be announced anywhere else, so the UK or other countries could be waiting a considerable amount of time to own the 13-episode series.

"Ghost Whisperer" Season 4 DVD Artwork

Finally, they released the Season 4 DVD cover!!! And I'm actually a little disappointed.

.

After the huge long wait for it, finally being released a month and a half after the season ended, even though DVD artworks for other shows were released as early as January, and I was so looking forward to seeing it, and in my honest opinion, its the worst cover out of all 4! It does sound pretty strong, and I do love the cover, but its the weakest of all four.

.

Don't get me wrong, I love Jim, but did they have to put him on the cover? I know lots of fans will disagree, but I so loved Melinda being the sole person on the cover, and they kind of ruined that tradition. I know Jim played an important role in the season, and probably put him on the cover because he died, but did they put Andrea on the cover of Season 1? Or at least use a better picture of Jim, I mean really, was that the best they could find?

.

Season Three's cover was very creative, they obviously took their time with it and the background was gorgeous, as was the picture of Melinda. She is gorgeous on the front of Season 4 though, a great picture to use, but I don't like how they stepped down from last season. And the tagline? The way it is put on, quite big and red, it really looks out of place, and Love Never Dies? Couldn't they have used the prominent tagline from season 4 instead of a Season 2 episode name? "Love Transcends Death" would have been better and relevant to the season.

.

I still love it of course, I just hope they don't release it in the UK like seven months after the US release like Season 3, it so isn't fair.

Leyton's Last Season in "One Tree Hill" Season 6 DVD

One Tree Hill is a CW television show, and is currently signed on for a seventh season. Unfortunatly, Peyton won't be in Season 7. Neither will Lucas, but I don't mind about him, I'm not a Lucas fan, I love Peyton more, even though Brooke is my favourite character. Will Season 7 be good? Who knows until it airs. But, the season six finale would have made a perfect series finale, so if the show has ended in many Lucas and Peyton fan's eyes, then you don't want to miss their last season, and you could always pretend it was the last ever season.

.

I've heard a lot of comments about One Tree Hill season 6 being a little boring, but when I caught up with it after watching it without them constant breaks that they seem to like on television, I actually enjoyed it thoroughly. The premiere was compelling, and the whole season followed suite. So I will definetly be buying the DVD once it is available on Region 2, which will be October 5, 2009, and Region 1 people will be able to purchase it on August 25, 2009.

.

Not the best season, but definetly not the worst. Many online shops are taking pre-orders, including Amazon.com for the US, and for the UK, Amazon.co.uk as well as HMV are taking pre-orders. I don't think I will pre-order it, but I will probably buy it when I see it in the shop. Enjoy the rear artwork for the DVD below.

"Brothers & Sisters" Season Three Review

Well Brothers & Sisters isn't my favourite show, or in the top 5 I don't think. Mainly because Season 1 and 2 weren't as good as other shows. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the show, but it never had the oomph that would make it so special in my eyes. However, after catching up with Season 3, it has proved me wrong.

.

The pilot episode was quite dull, and it didn't draw me in, unlike other shows. But the season got better and better, and the seasons even got better. Season 2 was great, I loved it, I loved the twists and storylines of the season. Too bad that Writers Strike shortened it down.

.

Like Grey's Anatomy and One Tree Hill, I had to catch up with the latest season through the internet because I hadn't watched Season 3 from its premiere. But it gradually got so interesting and entertaining that I began to love the series even more. Season 3 was one of the best of the 2008-2009 seasons out of all my favourite shows, even most episodes were better than "Desperate Housewives", which is my favourite show, so it just shows that it can be just as amazing as the top shows in my eyes.

.

The middle and end of the season was what made the season the best. I loved the family arguments in public places as well as privately, their family bond makes the series watchable and entertaining. I was sad to see Julia go, but Tommy left her no choice I suppose, I think I'll miss Julia more than Tommy. Sarah is my favourite, she was really funny this season, and seeing her land on her feet after all she's been through is really admireable.

.

I recommend giving Brothers & Sisters a chance. I know a few people who turned the series off after the pilot episode, but honestly, the show has gotten so much better since then, and I'm sure I speak for most B&S fans that Season 3 was amazing, and worth buying on DVD.

"Harper's Island" Episodes 1-4 Review

Well I only started watching the series yesterday after a few hints to watch it. The first hint was when I bought the newest Supernatural Magazine from the newsagents that morning, and inside I read about Jim Beaver being in a show called Harper's Island. The second hint came when I was looking through IMDb and read on Katie Cassidy's profile that she was starring in a show called Harper's Island. Then the third hint came when I saw one of my friends on YouTube favourited the Harper's Island trailer. After viewing the trailer I thought it looked good. Then the last hint was when I went on TVShowsOnDVD.com and saw an update for the Harper's Island DVD release. So I decided to watch it finally.
.
And when I finished watching the first episode, I really enjoyed it. I love horror movies, and the show is like a horror movie cut down into 40-minute long episodes. I was thrilled I finally watched it, and the deaths are thrilling, not knowing who will live or die, its like watching a horror movie for the first time, except this is better since I have to wait a whole week to find out who is the next victim, or victims.
.
So far I'm loving the characters and I really wanna know who the killer is, so I'm just gonna have to wait and find out. I have Episodes 5-9 to watch, which I will do later today (02:03am at the moment) and then review them. The first four episodes have been gripping with secrets and deaths, I can't wait to watch it all.

"90210" Splashes onto DVD with Cover Art Revealed

Beverly Hills, 90210's spin-off splashes onto DVD with

90210: The Complete First Season

I was pleasantly surprised when watching 90210, I didn't think I would get into it. After a few episodes, I began to like it more and more, and the real reason why I wanted to watch it was for Shannen Doherty from Charmed and the original 90210 series. Even though Brenda Walsh isn't in a lot of episodes, I have enjoyed her being back on a television show. I've never seen the original series, but I am starting to buy the DVDs.

90210 will be coming out in Region 1 on August 11, 2009, while Region 2 don't have to wait as long as usual and will be able to buy the DVD and will get it as early as August 18, 2009, just one week later. I am still unsure whether I should get Region 1 or Region 2, I will decide when they both come out.

There will be behind-the-scenes featurettes about music on the show, fashion, sets and more. The DVD set will also be comprimised in 6 DVD Discs.

'More Moments' in Grey's Anatomy Season Five DVD

'More Moments' to enjoy in

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season is a DVD set I pre-ordered from Amazon.com straight away. Really, Grey's Season 5 was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I honestly think it was the best show in the 2008-2009 season, there was not one dull moment. I do think they could have came up with a better name for it than 'More Moments', I think they're running out of ideas.

The finale of Grey's, Now Or Never, was the best season finale out of all the ones that aired in May 2009. Out of George and Izzie, I really want Izzie to be alive and pull through, and it was the best cliffhanger of all shows this season. My favourite character is probably Callie, or Izzie, but even so, I hope Izzie returns next season.

I recommend this season to watch, it was non-stop entertainment. This boxset will be released on September 15, 2009 for Region 1, I don't know about Region 2 yet, since the Grey's DVDs take years after Region 1 to come out, which I think is unfair, so Region 2 probably wont get it until about November 2010! Season 4 has yet to come out in the UK!

'Red Hot' Desperate Housewives Season Five DVD Cover

Red Hot Season Five DVD Cover for

Desperate Housewives: The Complete Fifth Season

TvShowsOnDVD.com posted the cover art for Desperate Housewives' fifth season, due for release on September 1, 2009. When I first looked at it I was jumping up with joy- no Katherine! But the downfall is, it looks a little plain. Usually they have something on the slip-on box for the Region 1 versions of the DVDs, and they already took their dresses off for the season 4 DVD. I'm hoping they will put apples on the slip-on box and make it look like the promotional poster, then when you take the box off, you will see them in their dresses looking as gorgeous as ever.

.

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon.com, which allow international shipping for a little extra, and since Region 1 DVDs usually come out before Region 2, I will be one of the first people in the UK to have it, unless other people from England do what I do.

Supernatural Season Four DVD Artwork

'Scary' Supernatural is brought to life in

Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season

A while ago, the boxart for Supernatural's fourth season DVD was revealed, and I fell in love with it instantly. It's my favourite cover out of all seasons of Supernatural. I live in the UK, so I got Supernatural 1-3 on Region 2. The thing thats different from the Supernatural DVDs in Region 1 is that Season 1 for Region 2 is huge, whereas Season 2 is skinnier, and Season 3 even skinnier. And the sides of Region 2 don't have pictures on and don't really match on the side, except Season 1, that had a picture on the side.

But Region 1 DVDs are all the same size, width and they all match on the side with the title and pictures, and they save a lot more space on my shelf. So I recollected Seasons 1-3 on Region 1, as I did with Desperate Housewives, and they look so much better. I pre-ordered Season 4 from Amazon.com a while ago. It will be released on Tuesday September 1, 2009 for Region 1.

But here is a look at the front and rear artwork for the fourth season's DVD, exclusive from TvShowsOnDVD.com
