Compulsive neat-freak Felix Unger (Tony Randall) is thrown out of his house by his divorce-bound wife. He wanders aimlessly through the streets of New York, toying with the idea of suicide, before gravitating to the apartment of his best friend, incorrigibly sloppy sportswriter Oscar Madison (Jack Klugman). Worried that Felix will try something desperate, Oscar, himself in the process of being divorced by his wife, invites Felix to move in with him in his Manhattan apartment. The rest, as they say, is comedy history. Relive every moment from the classic 1970's sitcom in this special collectors set, which features all 114 episodes from the 5 seasons of the show.

Incredible bargain for sitcom fans
on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I picked up the complete "Odd Couple" series (on 20 DVDs) for $20 at Best Buy, making it one of the better deals of the year. The content of the 70s favorite has worn well, though the visuals are predictably a bit dim. Still, the scripts & acting hold up quite nicely.

No longer denying his heritage as a Grimm, Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt pursues strange crimes that appear to be related to creatures of mythology and folklore. With partner Hank and Wesen confidants Monroe and Rosalee at his side, Nick comes face to face with an ancient, royal bloodline connected to Captain Renard. If that weren't enough, he also engages in a battle to keep from losing the love of his life.

Fun, fantastic tales

Verified Purchase:Yes
"Grimm" finds its footing in season 2 and offers lots of escapist fun. The actors aren't the best, but the stories and decent visual effects are enough to bring you back for the next episode. I do hope the show avoids getting mired in romantic sub-plots, but that seems to be the fate of most network programs, even the fantasy-based ones.

`The truth is out there,' and FBI agents Scully and Mulder seek it in this sci-fi phenomenon about their quest to explain the seemingly unexplainable. Their strange cases include UFO sightings, alien abductions and just about anything else paranormal. This release collects every episode from season nine of The X-Files.

Better visuals and still-gripping stories
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the final season of "The X-Files" even if (or perhaps because) Mulder isn't around to pull me out of the stories. The visuals on the Blu-ray are gorgeous, a big improvement over the pretty good DVD release, and most of the extras are carried over, so picking up the Blu-ray for a mere $10 is definitely worth the small investment.

Robert Patrick perks things up
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
My minority view is that a little Mulder goes a long way, so the addition of Robert Patrick's John Dogget is a big plus for this season. The stories are pretty interesting, though the visuals strike me as overly dark this time around (Blu-ray version). Of course, it's a dark show anyway, so maybe this is an aesthetic choice. At $10 for the Blu-ray set, it's a no-brainer for loyal fans.

A lot better than country radio
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Nashville" continues to give contemporary "country" music a better name than it deserves. The talented cast sound better and have better material than most of the junk that clogs up country radio. Great cast, though I do tend to fast-forward during the many "Why didn't you tell me?" soapy moments.

This modern twist on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective novels follows recovering drug addict and NYPD consultant Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) as he throws himself into the art of criminal investigations. By his side is Dr. Joan Watson (Lucy Liu), a "sober companion" hired by Homes' dad in hopes of keeping the famous sleuth from falling into old habits. This set contains every episode from season three of the series.

Entertaining even if one of the leads isn't
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've never really cared for Jonny Lee Miller, but he's fairly appealing in "Elementary." The main attractive is excellent writing and clever variations on the Sherlock Holmes legend. Looks okay on DVD, but an upgrade to Blu-ray would help.

Still charming after all these years

Verified Purchase:Yes
The appealing leads make this show a continued "comfort food" item. Season 10 doesn't break any new ground, but who wants it to? It's impressive that variations on the same old forensics tropes are still possible. The DVD was a bargain at Best Buy, but I would have preferred the Blu-ray if it had been offered.

Makes paranoia fun
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
"The Strain" gets off to a good start by raising more questions than answers, letting the viewer feel almost as threatened as the characters. It's a slow but pretty exciting build to the end. Can't say it's all that original, but the visual presentation is attractive even on standard DVDs.

In Season 3 of this supernatural drama, Nick (David Giuntoli) deals with some surprising aftereffects of his zombie attack-and the outcome is more positive than he could have anticipated. Meanwhile, he works to rebuild his relationship with Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch), whose newfound knowledge of Nick's world leads to her being increasingly involved in his Grimm work. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) asks Rosalee (Bree Turner) to marry him, but their impending nuptials raise concerns among their families about the appropriateness of a mixed-Wesen wedding, especially one that has a Grimm as best man. Meanwhile, Adalind (Claire Coffee) continues her fight to regain her powers, but with a baby on the way and an all-out war brewing between her and the royal family, she may have gotten in over her head.

Less magic, more romance
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
Season 3 is generally entertaining, but I found myself fast-forwarding whenever the lovey-dovey stuff took over. The repetitiveness that's built into a show like this is starting to kick in big time. The Blu-ray version helps to pull you into the action via great visuals and solid sound.

The sixth season of this crime drama opens with Beckett (Stana Katic) accepting a marriage proposal from Castle (Nathan Fillion). However, their road to the altar gets a little bumpy when Beckett also accepts a new high-profile job in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, things don't go smoothly for Castle and Alexis (Molly Quinn) when he doesn't approve of the new boyfriend she's brought home from Costa Rica. Castle gets a glimpse at what parenthood would be like a second time when he and Beckett temporarily care for a baby who was carried into a church by a man dying from gunshot wounds. And Ryan (Seamus Dever) and his wife excitedly prepare for their first child, but she goes into labor while Ryan is investigating a dangerous arson case.

Starts off great, stumbles a bit at the end
on September 18, 2016
Posted by: Coriolanus
Verified Purchase:Yes
The first half dozen episodes of season 6 are among the show's best. It's only when things get "serious" toward the end that my enthusiasm waned a bit. Still, it's impressive that the writers continue to devise clever plots and outlandish situations for the likable leads. Looks good on DVD.
