The Powerpuff Girls: The Complete First Season

Time-Warner finally gives the Cartoon Network’s first major hit the proper DVD treatment! Yes, I know this came out last Summer but I only watched it all the way through recently and 2008 is the 10th anniversary of the show’s … Continue reading

Not Just the Best of the Larry Sanders Show

Other than the first season, this is all Sony will provide of The Larry Sanders Show on DVD which is very frustrating. In addition to repeating three of the first season episodes, it’s also heavy on the last season. Rumors abound … Continue reading

Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Season Two

By the second season, Sabrina the Teenage Witch was a hit and the network bumped it up to the 8/7 PM slot to kick off their Friday evenings while Clueless slunk off to UPN. I had only seen roughly a … Continue reading

The Simpsons Movie is a let down as a DVD

I’m not going to rag on and on about the lack of good features, I’ll just say that the people from the Simpsons have set the bar pretty high with their TV boxed sets of the show. When the movie … Continue reading

Bender’s Big Score was worth the wait

The four-year wait finally ended this week and I say it was worth it. The downside was it ending on a cliff-hanger which I only figured out from the bonus DVD Best Buy threw in; it has a sneak preview … Continue reading

The Simpsons Tenth Season DVD

It has been eight months since Fox released a DVD set of The Simpsons so my prediction was accurate. With the anticipation of the movie in July and the show reaching its 400th episode, this latest collection definitely had a lot … Continue reading

B5: The Lost Tales babbles on and on about nothing

There hasn’t been anything new on TV for Babylon 5 since the rather mediocre The Legend of the Rangers pilot from 2002. Now comes this direct-to-video release of B5: The Lost Tales. It rings of great promise because it has President Sheridan, Captain … Continue reading

Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Season 1

The Picayune‘s first DVD review of a non-animated show would be a sitcom based upon a comic book. At least Sabrina the Teenage Witch worked out better than the horrendous version of The Tick on Fox. I also bought the set to keep … Continue reading

Spoiler Alert: If you’ve never seen the first season of the show and you would like to, then don’t read this! If you have and you still want to be surprised, then don’t read this! Everyone else who doesn’t fit … Continue reading

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends Season One

DVD releases of today’s cartoons are frustrating since the shows Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network choose to publish seem arbitrary or random. There are numerous hits that ended years ago such as Dexter’s Lab, Johnny Bravo, Cow & Chicken, Hey Arnold!, … Continue reading

The Simpsons Ninth Season DVD

Pretty amazing that this one was released in less than six months of the Eighth Season, probably for last-minute Christmas shopping. Now we’ll be jonsing for the Tenth by the time it appears in the Summer of 2007 with the … Continue reading

Before The Venture Brothers and Freakazoid, there was The Tick. Based upon the comic books of Ben Edlund, the Tick is an invulnerable being with superhuman strength and no clue. Thankfully his invulnerability keeps him from being killed by his foolish actions because … Continue reading

The Simpsons Eighth Season DVD

I know, I know. The Eighth Season has been out for six weeks but I had to watch all 25 episodes and then repeat the viewing process with the commentaries on. When it comes to the commentary track though, The … Continue reading

Animusic 2 on DVD

The long awaited sequel to Animusic has arrived on DVD. What a cool marriage of music and computer graphics, if you like that kind of thing. It isn’t quite Pixar, well, maybe it’s what Pixar used to be in the 1980s … Continue reading

The Venture Brothers Season One

Imagine Jonny Quest being redone by the writers of The Onion, Spy, Sealab 2021, The Tick and the people who did the first several good episodes of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law. Then throw in numerous comic-book, action-show and Sixties spy-movie references. Finally, sprinkle in funny … Continue reading
