Family Bonds: Season 1 (2004) 43% 3.5/5 EDIT “The Evangalistas end up becoming a pretty fun family to visit -- but you sure wouldn't want to live with 'em.” – DVDTalk.com May 20, 2020 Full Review Smallville: Season 4 (2004) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Good mindless fun with generous doses of super-heroism and aw-shucks sweetness -- but the season seemed to tread over the same territory time and time again.” – DVDTalk.com Feb 6, 2020 Full Review She Spies: Season 1 (2002) 57% 3.5/5 EDIT “She Spies might be just another silly knock-off from a well-established formula ... but at least the show knows it's just another silly knock-off, etc.” – DVDTalk.com Nov 14, 2019 Full Review life as we know it: Season 1 (2004) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a little bit smart, a little bit silly, and all but entirely smitten with sex. Fun stuff all around, I suppose, but you'll be wishing for a "Very Special Abstinence Episode" after just a few short hours.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Undeclared: Season 1 (2001) 93% 5/5 EDIT “Undeclared is an absolute joy of a TV series, full of painful memories, fond nostalgia, a warm-hearted sense of honest humor, and an almost palpable sense of sweetness.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 5, 2019 Full Review The Sentinel: Season 1 (1996) 60% EDIT “It's certainly not the slickest or most exciting cop show you'll ever see, but it comes with a cool enough gimmick to keep you entertained.” – DVDTalk.com Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Harts of the West: Season 1 (1993) 55% 2.5/5 EDIT “A harmless but ultimately unsatisfying blend of obvious comedy, maudlin emotion, and some seriously overaged plot conventions.” – DVDTalk.com Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Action: Season 1 (1999) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The cast is strong across the board, to be sure, but the star of Action is the writing staff. This show drips, festers, and oozes with verbal venom.” – DVDTalk.com Jul 9, 2019 Full Review An Avonlea Christmas: Season 1 (1990) EDIT “Packed with lovely Canadian landscapes, sweet and lovable characters (even the villains are lovable), predictable yet comfortable little stories...Avonlea is absolutely the Canadian Little House on the Prairie.” – DVDTalk.com Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Doogie Howser, M.D.: Season 2 (1990) 3.5/5 EDIT “While it's true that Doogie is often beholden to some of the most familiar tropes and plot constructions in the sitcom handbook, there's also an appreciable amount of quiet wit, unpredictability, and poignancy to the young doctor's many adventures.” – DVDTalk.com May 8, 2019 Full Review The Amazing Race: Season 7 (2005) 71% 4.5/5 EDIT “It's as if the producers were just hitting their comfort zone, if such a thing even exists with a project this massive, and felt free to open the game up for a few new diversions.” – DVDTalk.com Mar 26, 2019 Full Review The Amazing Race: Season 1 (2001) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is "reality TV" on an epic scale, and the show offers a non-stop barrage of exciting chases, twisted road-blocks, outrageous challenges, and lots of real heart and emotion.” – DVDTalk.com Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Survivor: Season 10 (2005) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “Fun folks make for a fun season, and Survivor: Palau had just enough of those to keep me tuning in.” – DVDTalk.com Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Nip/Tuck: Season 3 (2005) 63% 4/5 EDIT “By this point, Nip/Tuck has transformed into a fairly predictable formula. Beneath the surface we still have all the delicious surprises, unpredictable character behavior, and big buckets of witty dialogue.” – DVDTalk.com Nov 13, 2018 Full Review Nip/Tuck: Season 2 (2004) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is a wonderfully written and consistently surprising semi-soap opera, one that manages to deliver deep, dark laughs and oddly heartfelt emotion at the exact same time.” – DVDTalk.com Nov 13, 2018 Full Review The Facts of Life: Season 2 (1980) EDIT “Written on a painfully simplistic level and laden with really ripe acting performances... , The Facts of Life simply doesn't hold up all that well after two-plus decades.” – DVDTalk.com Oct 29, 2018 Full Review The Facts of Life: Season 1 (1979) 33% EDIT “The first season of The Facts of Life is a pretty overstuffed affair.” – DVDTalk.com Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Dead Like Me: Season 2 (2004) 100% 4.5/5 EDIT “Dead Like Me is certainly not for everyone, but it's a pretty darn unique little concept that's as effortlessly enjoyable as it is strangely insightful.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 27, 2018 Full Review The O.C.: Season 2 (2004) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “The plot threads and divergences are certainly nothing new, but The O.C. knows precisely what sort of show it is, and it's not afraid to poke some fun at itself -- while always being sure to deliver the well-scrubbed teenage angst.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 18, 2018 Full Review Police Squad!: Season 1 (1982) 91% EDIT “Chock-full of bizarre cameos, quotable quips and enthusiastically bizarre humor, Police Squad! is a relic of a happier, sillier time. And this kind of humor just doesn't age, really.” – JoBlo's Movie Network Sep 11, 2018 Full Review A Different World: Season 1 (1987) 11% 2/5 EDIT “A comedy's first goal is to, y'know, make people laugh.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 10, 2018 Full Review Scrubs: Season 1 (2001) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Sacred Heart Hospital is a brilliantly weird and hilariously warm place to visit; I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a patient there, but I'm thrilled to stop by and visit whenever I can.” – DVDTalk.com Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Medium: Season 1 (2005) 67% EDIT “So the concept is cool, the teleplays are tight, and the show is about as well-directed a TV series you're ever likely to see ... but Medium's true power lies within its cast.” – DVDTalk.com Aug 10, 2018 Full Review Buffalo Bill: Season 1 (1983) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Casually targeting topics like racism, sexism, religion, and abortion under the guise of a rather standard-looking sitcom veneer, Buffalo Bill may have been just a few years ahead of its time.” – DVDTalk.com Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Powers: Season 1 (2015) 48% EDIT “It's easy to assert that we've got "too many" superheroic series going on right now, but fortunately Powers is not too light, not too moody, not too glossy and not too completely uninteresting... Powers seems pretty appealing to me right about now.” – Nerdist Jul 16, 2018 Full Review
