8 Simple Rules: The Complete Second Season Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Ritter passed away after only three episodes of season 2. The series proceeded with a two part episode in which his character, Paul Hennessy, also died. The episode is very sad but is a fitting tribute to the great John Ritter. One can see the tears are real, they're not really acting; A testament to just how well loved he was by his castmates and everyone he met. Afterwards, the Hennessy's once again go about the business of making people laugh. It isn't the same without John Ritter. But, the addition of James Garner and David Spade to the regulars Katey Sagal,(Cate), Caley Cuoco,(Bridget), Amy Davidson,(Kerry), and Martin Spanjers,(Rory), helps to fill the void. As a fan, I highly recommend season 2.

It's a time for healing and learning to deal with life without family patriarch Paul (the late John Ritter), as the Hennessys discover the frailties of life and the strength of the family unit. Widowed mom Cate (Katey Sagal), now finds herself in the precarious position of raising three teenagers on her own. She does get a little relief from her father, Jim (James Garner), who's been staying at the house since Paul's death. But the family is thrown for a loop when Cate's wayward nephew, C.J. (David Spade), moves in and finds it hard to resist getting himself into trouble or offering questionable advice to the kids.

Three's Company: Season Two (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The strength of this THREE'S COMPANY Season 2 DVD lay primarily in its bonus materials and liner notes. Everyone has seen these episodes a thousand times, including now on TV Land and Nick at Night. Sure, it's nice to have uncut, digitally-transferred episodes of this classic show. Consumers should expect nothing less in any dvd tv series release.
But what elevates this release, and hopefully those to come in this series, are the bonus features, particularly the content newly-created for this DVD set and liner notes. Much of this detailed content is clearly due to Chris Mann, author of the well-respected and insightful biography of "Three's Company," titled "Come and Knock on Our Door," for which he interviewed nearly the entire cast and production staff. (Watch The E! True Hollywood Story again if you doubt that statement.) As a respected author and a producer of NBCs recent "Three's Company" behind-the-scenes movie, Chris brings depth and the perspective of an insider and expert to this project. The liner notes and his heartfelt audio commentary show how much he loved and respected John Ritter. And by the way, when John R. appeared on several talk shows after the book's release, he genuinely championed the book.
Mann's audio commentary contains reverent thoughts and stories about John Ritter, the rest of the cast and producers. But it is balanced with light-hearted, sometimes tongue-in-cheek observations about the show and the specific farcical episode being discussed. Mann seems to realize that most people loved this show for what it was and and hoped this season 2 "commemorative" release would pay respect to John and the show. (Let's not forget the rushed-for-profit-and-exposure First Season release that was such a disappointment to all of us.) Chris understands that the show never took itself too seriously, so I would consider him an expert commentator and trusted voice for fans and those who made the show.
My friends and I have heard that Chris wrote a lot of the tribute to John Ritter that Joyce DeWitt narrates in this Season 2 release as well. Apparently, this "commemorative" release would have had little, if any, tributes to John without Mann's involvement. There's buzz among fans that several "Three's Company" cast and crew interviewed for the Third Season release, and that Chris interviewed all of them. So, I would guess that Chris is greatly responsible for their participation.
We all look forward to the upcoming dvd releases of "Three's Company." We hope that those involved in distributing the series continue to have Chris be a major part of its production!! Anchor Bay and DLT Ent. should consider themselves lucky to have his cooperation.

Three's Company: Season Four (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For me, this classic sitcom came into its own during its fourth year.
While many lamented the Ropers' departure, Don Knotts' Ralph Furley was more than adequate enough replacement for the two. In fact, after the Ropers left, it was as if the entire show had a face lift and had new blood pumped into it.
Joyce DeWitt looked her best this year, trading in big hair and frumpy clothes for a short sexy spiky 'do and body hugging designer jeans. Richard Kline finally became a full-fledge regular, and last but not least was Ann Wedgeworth's Lana Shields, who practically steals every scene she was in.
The antics and zaniness was turn up to the nth degree in season four, mainly due to Suzanne Somer's Chrissy, who had de-evolve from someone who was just naive to someone who was so dumb you wonder how on earth did she ever get through the day, much less hold a job. But in any case, her radical transformation of the character generated some of the biggest and most memorable laughs in the series's history.
Sadly, the series' success got into Ms. Somer's head, and this year turn out to be the last full year she was with the show. One can only imagine how much more side splitting guffaws we would have if she had stay on with the show.
In any case, if there is one year which totally define THree's Company, Season Four is IT.

Three's Company: Season Seven (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Extras......
Tribute to RF is a 25 minute compilation of clips showing Don Knotts at his best. Sad that it doesn't feature any cast tributes like John Ritter's did. But the clips cover all the seasons RF was on the show and demonstrate just what a master he was.
Parlez vous Threes Company is ten minutes of the pilot episode sometimes in French and sometimes in English. Nice to see, but you won't watch it more than once.
Two Audio Commentaries from Richard Kline(Larry)!!!!!!! Worth the price on their own. Good to see a main character doing these commentaries. Excellent.
Season seven best of Jack, Janet, Terry, and Larry.....regular feature on the other box sets, and good if you need a quick fix of your favorite character, but not as good as just putting on an episode.
This is a knock out season that sees the plot moving forward with the opening of Jack's Bistro (so less scenes in the apartment). But the best change over season six is that the fun is spread through out the cast, you even see Larry carrying some episodes (including the excellent "Impossible Dream" for which he provides a commentary).
This is a must own seaon for fans of the show (or just fans of classic comedy) and while the extras are less than totally satisfying, it is a must have!!!!!

Three's Company: Season Five (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Season five of Three's Company while remains consistantly funny, it is also the year that is known as the last season that Suzanne Somers appeared in, and then, in only two full episodes.
In year five, Three's Company was sold into syndication making a ton of money for the producers, and its three stars in terms of residuals if Somers and her husband had looked in the long term; but Somers and her husband tried to re-negotiate while the show was in full production for more money. Somers started to miss work, conveniently blaming it on a back injury she sustained. So entered Cindy Snow, played by Jennilee Harrison.
With all due respect, Harrison was not an experienced actress, much less an experienced comedic actress. Unlike Priscilla Barnes, whom the producers had ample time to find, Harrison was a last minute replacement that the producers had to scrambled to find with pratically just days on their hands. Furthermore, while Teri Alden was a completely original character, Harrison was stuck with a character whose purpose was use up the scripts that was already written with Chrissy in mind. You have to admit that Harrison was faced with a bunch of hurdles while on the show.
While I sympathize with Harrison, I still have to admit, she is no Chrissy Snow or Suzanne Somers, although she did made a good effort and showed that another blonde roommate other than Chrissy is possible for the show. After Suzanne Somers left, something did went out with the show that it never could quite replace. Ironically, Harrison would have some her best moments in Season Six, particularly in the episode "Maid to Order", where the storylines were actually written with her character in mind.
In any case, season five still managed to generate a lot of laughs in episodes such as "And Justice For Jack", "Downhill Chaser", "The Case of the Missing Blonde", "Dying to Meet You", "Father of the Bride", and Somer's last full show: "A Hundred Dollars a What". But still I wouldn't say that this year deserve a five stars rating, which is another problem I have with people who review on Amazon.com...they give out five star ratings like Halloween candy.
As for the DvD cover, it is misleading to show Suzanne on the cover, but perhaps, it is done contractually....during the entire season of Seasn Five, Suzanne is still billed as the star while Harrison got relegated to "guest-starring" status. No doubt her image will probably be on one of the discs.

Three's Company: Season Three (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A lot of fans have said that season 3 was the golden year of Three's Company and I couldn't agree more.
This season was the one when everyone was watching and was #1 in the ratings. We see Chrissy, Jack and Janet (and the Roepers) in their prime; They've grown used to the set and the characters are interacting like a well-oiled machine.
The transfer is MUCH better than season 1, which I still think was pushed out too early due to the passing of John Ritter. The extras are almost as good as season 2. We get to see the second pilot with "the other Chrissy" and turns out it was the second episode of the series. Kind of weird, isn't it? Regardless, it is interesting seeing another Chrissy but the character is so overdone I could see why they replaced her with Suzanne Somers.
Along with the extras is another memorandum to John Ritter with interviews from a lot of the cast (with the exception of Suzanne Somers, who in my opinion needs to grow up and be a part of this great DVD set.) There's also another bloopers reel as well as "the best of" moments of the main characters.
There's also a great function to play all the episodes of each disc (which is great if you're lazy like me.) The only thing I wish would be they would insert chapters within the episodes. Hitting the forward button takes you to the next episode rather than past the opening credits or otherwise. All the original openers along with promos from John Ritter and ending tags have all be reinserted, so on the disc is what you saw when it originally aired.
For fans, always recommended. Four stars.

Touched by an Angel - The Third Season (Vol. 1 & 2) (1994) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband refers to this as my "Boo-Hoo" show because I always cry when they state they are angels. It was such a beautiful show, encompassing not just the Christian religion, but all religions. God is always referred to as "The One True God". Some of the shows hit right on target such as "Monica Has A Bad Day". That show was all about how one act by one person can touch off a string of events, either good or not. You can watch the show with young children. My children will make fun of it at times ( after all teenagers have to be cool) yet will sit and watch. My grown daughters when all come to my house at once settle in with snacks and we will watch episode after episode. I do not think there are any shows now that portray anything like this. And Della Reese, I love her and would like to see her on something now, she is such a warm person. Whoever had the idea for this show BRAVO it was wonderful.

Three's Company: Season Eight (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here it is, the eighth and final season of Three's Company! I'm certain that everyone reading this is quite familiar with the exploits of the characters and the quality of this series, so I'm not going to waste everyone's time with a "review" that rehashes all the details or lists episodes or plot outlines.
I would like to take a moment to thank ANCHOR BAY for releasing all eight seasons QUICKLY and with all the care and attention to detail that they deserved! Every box set has been packaged with great cover designs and photo's. The discs themselves have contained high quality transfers of the episiodes as well as a healthy amount of EXTRA content. Anyone wanting to collect this series on DVD will be quite happy with EVERY set in this collection!
How lucky have we been? Just look around at some of the other TV series being released and some of the problems encountered! "Too close for comfort", season one contained edited SYNDICATED VERSIONS (a total slap in the face!). "Lavern & Shirley" and "Night Court" are STILL on season ONE. The "Greatest American Hero" had major chunks removed or re-dubbed because of music copyrights practically ruining a few of the episodes. "Kung Fu" season one was formatted to wide-screen when it was NEVER intended to be viewed that way (chopping off 25% of the screen content!). And of course, the great "WKRP" is still in LIMBO! These are all examples of what could have gone wrong with these releases and I thank ANCHOR BAY for getting it RIGHT every step of the way! Other production companies would do well to examine these box sets before they mess up another DVD release!
I'm sure that our Three's Company DVD collection will NOT end here with THIS release! ANCHOR BAY will continue to do what is right and release "the Ropers" and "Three's a Crowd" on DVD as well! I know we're all waiting and ready to buy! Perhaps they'll release them as a COMBO box... both series in one box set?
At any rate, thanks ANCHOR BAY and thanks to the cast and writers of Three's Company!

Hearts Afire - The First Complete Season (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, we all miss John Ritter. It's really strange to turn on the TV and not find him on somewhere, except in reruns of "Three's Company."
The release of this TV series on DVD is exciting news for John Ritter fans. For those unfamiliar with it, "Hearts Afire" was his 1992-1995 sitcom co-starring Markie Post. John is a senator's aide in Washington, D.C. who is surrounded by funny characters and funny situations. The dialogue is sophisticated and snappy, the chemistry between Ritter and Post is hot, and the supporting players (paticularly the hilarious Conchata Ferrell) couldn't have been better cast.
"Hearts Afire" is notable today because it co-starred a then-unknown actor named Billy Bob Thornton. It should be no surprise that Billy Bob scored many of the show's funniest lines. He stole nearly every scene he was in. It was on this series that Ritter met Billy Bob and the writer/director hired the king of pratfalls against type for what would become one of his most famous roles, the gay man in "Sling Blade."
If you know this show, you'll be buying this set. If you are unfamiliar with it, rent it. You'll fall in love with it and return here to buy it.
Now let's hope other Ritter series and TV movies will also show up on DVD -- with "Hooperman" leading the list.

Three's Company: Season Six (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)John Ritter (may he rest in peace) was the star of "Three's Company." He was always such a perfect comic actor because both his slapstick and deadpan expressions could make even the most serious viewer laugh hysterically. Jack has always been my very favorite character of this series. And even though Mr. Ritter has passed away way too soon his legacy will live forever.
I used to watch the repeats of "Three's Company" as a little child and I always felt like I was watching a "grown up show." Twenty years later it doesn't seem "risque" or sexually charged like most primteime (and unimaginative) sitcoms are today. However, "Three's Company" was a pioneer in the sexual revolution of modern American television, because they were able to push the envelop of submission just a little further each week. But it is also a very funny, classic, sitcom that the entire family can watch. It is unfortunate that "Three's Company" never really got the respect it deserved. Although Jenilee Harrison and Priscilla Barnes are excellent, it is also unfortunate that by the 6th season Suzanne Somers was long gone.
There are a total of TWENTY-SEVEN episodes from Season 6!!
Here is a list of all the episodes with original air dates:
Jack Bares All (a.k.a. Oh, Nurse) (1) First aired: 10/6/1981

Terri moves in, and because of Larry's double-talk tries to get Jack in the sack.
Professor Jack First aired: 10/27/1981
Jack is giving cooking lessons to raise some money and Terri mistakes them as love lessons. I think this is such an over-the-top episode, one of the funniest from Season 6. BTW, has anyone ever heard of "love lessons"?
Some of That Jazz First aired: 11/3/1981
Jack comes to the rescue when Janet meets an unscrupulous ballet dancer.
Lies My Roommate Told Me First aired: 11/10/1981

Jack has a date with Mr. Angelino's daughter against her father's wishes.
Dates of Wrath First aired: 12/8/1981
When Bob the bartender hits it off with Terry, Janet has a temper-tantrum. This is another "ugly duckling" Janet episode.
Macho Man First aired: 12/15/1981

Strangers in the Night First aired: 1/5/1982
With Larry's help (apparently in this ep Larry can sing), Jack goes to a woman's apartment to sing to her, but sings for the wrong women (an older lady)! When the big mama comes to Jacks apartment Jack shows her some kindness and affection; why can't men really be like this?
The Matchbreakers First aired: 1/12/1982
Mr. Furley falls in love with a golddigger.
The Holy Guest (a.k.a. Oh, Nun) First aired: 1/19/1982

Maid to Order First aired: 1/26/1982
To help give Cindy a job, the trio agree to hire her as their maid but with catastophic results. A rarely written ep from Season 6 because Cindy did not have a "walk on" part.
Hearts and Flowers First aired: 2/2/1982
Janet's new boss, Bobbi drives her NUTS.
Urban Plowboy First aired: 2/9/1982

Hearts Afire - The Complete Second Season (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I acted in the episode "Do the Limbaugh" on this excellent second season as a guest star (Girl #2) at the prom in the last scene with Billy Bob Thornton and Rush Limbaugh. It was such a pleasure to work with my fellow USC Trojan, the late and great John Ritter (You are missed, you dear man!); as well as Conchata Ferrell; Leslie Jordan; and future movie star Billy Bob Thornton.
"Do the Limbaugh" is still charming, even over a decade later. Viewers will probably enjoy the political banter, razor-sharp wit, and sarcastic references to the many ludicrous scandals of the time (the early 1990s before Clinton and Monica's own infamous liaison--those days that were filled with tabloid fodder about Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, Amy Fisher and Joey Buttafucco, etc.). While those were salacious and disturbing at the time, they will probably seem so tame and laughable to viewers today in our post-9/11 world.
What's really heartwarming is to see the ultra-liberal Georgie, played by Markie Post ("She puts the 'femme' in 'femi-Nazi,'" Rush says), and the staunch conservative Rush Limbaugh (Georgie hears the song "I Get a Rush" when she sets eyes on Mr. Limbaugh) sparring, flirting, and ultimately learning to respect one another's differences.
This show was the olive branch that writer/director Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and her husband director/producer Harry Thomason, Bill and Hillary Clinton's best friends and creators of Hearts Afire, extended to Rush Limbaugh, one of Clinton's most vociferous critics.
If only we could take a clue from this wonderful show. Instead of a culture of argument, competition, fear, and violence, wouldn't it be nice if we could strive to become a community that respects one another's positions and perhaps even celebrates our ability to have multiple perspectives?
Or is that possible only in the wonderful world of Hearts Afire?
I hope others enjoy viewing Hearts Afire as much as I did working with its cast and crew.

The Waltons: The Complete Second Season (1973) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Other reviewers have thoroughly reviewed the details of the Waltons first year on TV with titles and plot descriptions, so I won't elaborate further. Instead, I will tell you why I feel this DVD set is perhaps is the best series that ever aired on TV, and is true family entertainment.
The Waltons first aired in 1972 on CBS. It was considered "hokey" by some of the critics of the day, yet it captured the hearts of the viewers and went on to be one of the finest long-running series on TV. It captured peoples hearts because it told stories of real people, real people in a family that loved and cared for each other. Although many of the stories are of course fictional, the writer, Earl Hamner (who is actually John-boy), weaves fiction with real-life drama and shows how his loving family dealt with the hard times they grew up in, and how they related to each other with love. In essence, the Waltons shows the viewer what all of us would like our families to be like. One cannot help caring about the characters because Hamner does such a great job of developing their unique personalities for us. The actors and actresses that play his family are perfect for the parts, and even though many of them are just children, their realistic acting makes one believe they are actually a real family. The series is carried on the shoulders of three central characters, John-Boy (Richard Thomas), his mother Olivia Walton (Michael Learned), and Father John Walton (played by Ralph Waite). All three are absolutely superb in their respective roles, and earned honors and accolades for their depiction of Hamner's family. When these three characters eventually left ths show in later years, the show itself folded.
If you have never seen The Waltons on TV, my suggestion is that you buy the first season shows before viewing the second season set. Although not entirely necessary, as each show is a complete story, the first season will unveil the general themes and storylines that help you to better understand the characters and their dire economic situation (the Great Depression). You will also learn that although the Waltons had little money, they were not "poor" when it came to their bond of family love for one another. The second season, (24 episodes) is just as good as the first season, with family stories that will capture your heart. The second season won several awards, an emmy for Michael Learned (Olivia Walton) and an emmy for writer Joanna Lee for her script, "The Thanksgiving Story".
I watch the Walton shows with my own 6 children and even in these modern days with so many other distractions, my kids are thrilled with the stories. Each child relates to a particular Walton child, and after finishing an episode, they beg to watch another. I hope that they will learn family values by watching the Walton family interact with each other. I know that I have garnered some parenting tips from John Walton.
Television does not get better than The Waltons. I recommend this series for those viewers who desire more family values and less violence, sex, and questionable language and topics in their tv viewing. This is true family values TV, and I wish we had something like it today. The Waltons will capture your heart, and you will come to love the characters and care about them. Thank you Earl Hamner for sharing your lovely family with us!

Three's Company: Season One (1977) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Three's Company is the first and last sitcom to effectively blend physical comendy with effective one liners. Many of the popular sitcoms today such as Friends and Will and Grace have the satisfying one liners, but are opaque in the area of physical comedy. John Ritter's falling over the couch, tip toeing not to be seen, and tripping over things elevate this sitcom from great to amazing.
In 1977, the kind of double entendre humor spoken all through the series invoked snarls on conservative TV viewers. Yet, it was that same humor that made it numder one on the Nielson Ratings. It's King-like status on TV because of the sexually racy humor attracted viewers because of it's innocence about sex. The humor wasn't for shock value. The lines about promiscuity were delivered by the cast as innocently as we heard it over the tube. That child-like and non "in your face" approach made Three's Company heartwarming as well as extremly funny.
The series had few cameras working with the cast so the episodes have a unparelled equality to a one act on stage. Therefore, it is easy to see the cast playing off each other for emotional support as well as professionally. It is hard to watch an episode of this gem and not laugh out loud, And it will be extremely difficult not to well an eye for the late "Man About the House" who paved the way for the phyisical comedians today. This series will never be equalled.

"It didn't set out to change the world. It just made us laugh and that is why we love it." ~Lucille Ball, 1982"Come And Knock On Our Door…"In the spring of 1977,ABC network executives gave asix-episode "trial" run to a new sitcom called THREE’S COMPANY.Almost overnight, it became one of the biggest hits of theentire season. Racy and daring for its time, this breakthroughbedroom farce skyrocketed to the Top 10 in its second week. Almost twenty-five years later, it remains one of thebest-loved TV series of all time. Based on the provocative Brit-com MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE, THREE’S COMPANY follows the innuendo-laden but platonic misadventures and misunderstandings of clumsy andgirlcrazy Jack Tripper (John Ritter in the role that won him an Emmy®, a Golden Globe and the hearts of millions) and his two female roommates, pretty andpracticalminded Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt) and naïve and dim-bulb blonde Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers). Along with their sexually frustrated landlords theRopers (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley) and Jack’s fast-talking pal Larry (Richard Kline), these three outrageous roommates tripped and jiggled through a world of slapstick pratfalls and some of the most scandalously titillating comedy America had ever seen. THREE’S COMPANY – SEASON ONE features the original six episodes – including the classic pilot – thatstarted it all, now collected on DVD for the first time ever!EPISODE GUIDE:• A Man About The House • And Mother Makes Four • Roper's Niece • No Children, No Dogs • Jack The Giant Killer • It's Only Money
