Since my last post, sometime ago, the following have been aquired (and probably a few more, but... I can't remember since my last post).
The Eurovision Song Contest 2006 2 Disc Set R2 PAL
including the Semi-Finals and the Final. Say what you will, but Greece certainly put on a pair of good shows. The opening "Eurovison's Greatest Hits" medley of the semi-finals is fantastic.
KY-TV Series 1 R2 PAL
Not quite as good as I remembered it, but still a fine purchase. A spoof on the early days of Sky TV and BSB. Of course British Sky Broadcasting has changed so much over the past decade, it's mostly irrelevant now. But how can anyone not love a show with characters called Mike Channel, Mike Flex and Anna Dapter? Includes the Comic Asides pilot.
Doctor Who Series 2 Vol 4 R2 PAL
The new series releases (barebones) continue with The Impossible Planet, The Satan Pit and the love-it-or-hate-it Love & Monsters!
V For Vendetta HMV Exclusive 2 Disc Set w/ Book R2 PAL
The covers wrong, because I got the 2 disc set, which is only available from HMV. It also came with a book containing the first 9 chapters of the graphic novel.
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Complete Series R1 NTSC
It's Bruce. It's Bruce. It's Bruce! 'Nuff said.
The Comeback: The Complete Only Series R1 NTSC
Ever since I first heard about this, I've wanted to see it. I hear one of the theories of it not being popular in the US is the character was too unlikeable and too much of a looser. Sounds like ideal British humour to me!
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room R1 NTSC
I'm sure this documentary will be a real eye-opener!
Bill Maher: New Rules R1 NTSC
I watched this last night. All I can say, its a example of a performer who's absolutely at the top of his game. It seems short at only 45 mins, but the extras bump the runtime up by another half-hour or so, making it the same runtime as most animated movies.
Tales From The Crypt: The Complete 4th Season R1 NTSC
Yes, I know, wrong cover. But I can't find a S4 cover the correct size. Anyhow, I got this, but I haven't finished with S2 yet!
Curb Your Enthusiasm The Complete Fifth Series R1 NTSC
I must admit, I thought S4 started to loose some of its edge and appeal. But I still got this. But maybe, like most British shows, Larry David should quit while still ahead?
A Pub Named Scooby-Doo V3&V4 R1 NTSC
Hey, it is Scooby-Doo and it's not as bad as it could be. Sadly, it's not great either. But light years ahead of some of the rubbish released under the Scooby-Doo banner.
Doogal R1 NTSC
Well, I had an obsession about comparing the US redubbed and rewritten film to the UK Magic Roundabout. I'm not impressed, but they hardly had Shakespere to work with in the first place. Watching it again on my PC, I'm actually more impressed with the animation than I was on first viewing. Its really not as cheap as people make out.
Animaniacs Vol 1 & Pinky and the Brain Vol 1 R1 NTSC
Well, I'm sure I don't need to comment on the contents of these. However, I am disappointed by the softness of the picture on the first Animaniacs disc. It really should be better - the Hanna Barbera collection releases of much older and cruder material also from Warners are.
R2 PAL
. Even though I've only seen series 2-4, I still thought I'd plum for Series 1 first.
