Synopsis: The action and fun continue with Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox returning as California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers Francis "Ponch" Poncherello and Jon Baker in 24 road-ripping episodes. Also returning, Robert Pine as amiable Sgt. Getraer. So pull it over, pal, and dig out that license and registration because CHP officers Jon and Ponch are on patrol. Remember, safety first...and always signal before turning. The excitement and adventures are non-stop in this 5-disc collection.

Review: I used to catch re-runs of ChiPs in the mid-80s and it was one of my favorite shows.  This great bit of retro television is so much fun to revisit.  The complete third season features a few new cast members.  This was a fantastic police series and is something the entire family can watch together, unlike so many shows these days.  The first two seasons grace our family library of shows.  We highly recommend that you pick this one up!

Synopsis: British combat nurse Claire Randall is reunited with her husband after returning from the battlefields of World War II. While on their second honeymoon, she walks through one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles and is suddenly transported to 1743 Scotland, torn by war and rogue Highland clans. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into intrigue and danger when she is accused of being a spy. Forced by circumstance to marry an outlawed Highlander, she finds herself falling in love and torn by her loyalties to two men in vastly different times, all of which may threaten her life and shatter her heart. Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series is stunningly realized by Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore in Season One's first eight episodes.

Review: This series has it all...science fiction, history and drama.   Outlander is one of the coolest shows to hit network TV in a very long time.  I've greatly enjoyed what has aired of season one so far, and this DVD volume collects those eight episodes.  The rest of the season is going to air this spring and I expect we'll get another volume to finish up the season in summer.  This is a phenominal show and it does a great job of following the best selling books!   This show is great for couples to watch together, it has something for everyone!

Synopsis: Complete your collection and relive the heart-pounding adrenaline rush of the final season of Kurt Sutter's explosive outlaw-biker saga, "Sons of Anarchy." Reeling from the death of the woman he loves, Jax Teller steers SAMCRO full-throttle down the hell-bound road to revenge, allowing nothing to stand in his way. The streets of Charming run red with blood as shifting alliances and fatal mistakes lead to chaos, betrayal, and all-out murder. The body count soars, and dark secrets give way to darker truths, until the only question remaining is who will live... and who will die.

Review: Sons of Anarchy is without a doubt one of the best shows on television.  The series has gone through a flux that started with a rough and violent biker gang, full of deception and betrayl with an underlying current of brotherhood to a fractured shell of what it once was.  I'm a huge fan of this series, but I must say that the final ride came at the right time.  

This final season finds Jax hunting for Tara's killer, all the while his mother is weaving webs and hiding Juice.  We get a nice peppering of violence this season, which is refreshing, along with neo-nazis, Courtney Love and more.  This is an epic show and you can't miss watching and owning the final wrap-up.  Its not the best season of the series, but its still a must have.

The blu-ray extras include: Deleted Scenes, Gag Reel, Featurettes: "Carpe Diem: The Final Season of 'Sons of Anarchy'", "Anarchy Legacy", "Bikes of 'Sons of Anarchy': Motorcycles of Mayhem", "Season 7 Guest Stars".

Synopsis: Clarence finds something amazing in just about everything. Discover the best that life has to offer--epic pinecone wars, backyard tree forts and the secret worlds beyond milk cartons--all through the eyes of Clarence and his friends, the unpredictable Sumo and overly-cautious Jeff.

Review: There is a huge trend on Cartoon Network towards these over the top, often absurd, animated series like Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa and of course, Clarence.  These shows have a wide range of appeal for everyone from a 5 year old to a 12 year old and sometimes beyond.  The cool thing about these shows is that, while they can often be off-putting, they are genearally non-violent, silly and fun.  Clarence also embeds good messages within the series, including acceptance and friendship. 

This DVD set includes the followig 12 episodes from the series:

1. Fun Dungeon Face Off
2. Pretty Great Day with a Girl

Synopsis: These first 30 episodes of Batman's second season will take you on more perilous plots with fiendish foes trying to undo our undaunted heroes! From the torturous King Tut (Victor Buono) to a straying Catwoman to the provoking Joker (Cesar Romero), Batman and his Boy Wonder sidekick come face to face with a cape-full of criminal calamity.

Review: Fans of the classic Batman television show have waited impatiently for decades to get our beloved series on DVD and Blu-Ray.  Finally, we have the full series release, but if you can't afford that WB is doing you the service of releasing the seasons in volumes.  This latest release, season two, part one, features the first 30 episodes of the second season of the show.  Its hard to resist all the campy greatness, laughs and good times that this chapter of Batman's history brings. I've enjoyed sharing this series with my own kids, and reliving all the joy it brought me as a child.

Synopsis: "Dallas" Season 3 packs even more dramatic and emotional wallop than its predecessors when turmoil strikes Southfork. From every direction, scandal and treachery mean greater family divisions, along with tenuous alliances and diabolical double-crosses. John Ross (Josh Henderson) continues to prove he's J.R.'s son, becoming more cunning than his daddy ever was. He's determined to seize control of the Ewing empire, setting his sites on global energy domination - and he's not about to cut Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe) and Bobby (Patrick Duffy) in for their share. Meanwhile, as if Elena (Jordana Brewster) hasn't done enough damage to her relationship with Christopher, she returns to Southfork with her own devious agenda. Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) conspires to put the wedding plans for John Ross and Pamela (Julie Gonzalo) on ice when she uncovers the groom's affair with Emma (Emma Bell). It looks like the Ewing clan couldn't possibly survive any more malefactions or stunning surprises... But that doesn't mean there aren't more coming.

Review:  Dallas was a legendary series when I was growing up.  My parents never missed an episode.  When TNT brought the show back as a continuation it was must-see!  This DVD set collects the third, and unfortunately, final season of the newer Dallas series.   Its a shame that the series is ending before its time.  The third season was the best, as the show really hit a nice stride.  The drama was excellent and to see J.R.'s son evolve into a monster like his dad was such a treat.  If you dig this show, this DVD set is a must have!

Synopsis: Set sail for an epic saga stretching from London, all the way to Never Land and back. Before you can say, "Pixie dust, away!" -- Wendy, John and Michael Darling join JAKE AND THE NEVER LAND PIRATES for a soaring, swashbuckling, full-length adventure.

But there's no time to lose, because the longer Hook has the book, the faster everyone's memories of Pan and Never Land will fade away... forever! Overflowing with action-packed fun, beloved PETER PAN characters and four additional episodes, BATTLE FOR THE BOOK is an unforgettable celebration of teamwork and the magical power of storytelling.

Review: Jake and the Neverland Pirates is one of the best shows on Disney Junior.  The show continues to enthrall little ones, including my own.  This new DVD includes the episodes Battle for the Book Parts 1 & 2, treasure of the Pirate Mummy's Tomb, Mystery of the Missing Treasure!, Pirate Genie Tales, Captain Gizmo, Jake's Pirate Swap Meet, Sleeping Mermaid, Jake's Mega-Mecha Sword.  There is also a cool bonus feature of 10 episodes of Jake's Never Land Pirate School animated shorts.  These episodes are fun and they teach some great lessons to your preschool aged kids.

Synopsis: Season Three serves up sweet surprises for two of Brooklyn's hottest waitresses, Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs), who continue to dish up sarcasm and smarts. They've got a new cupcake business at the diner's back walk-up window, and Caroline and Max negotiate a work-study program at the Manhattan School of Pastry: Caroline works in the office so Max can study professional baking. Plus, love - and the aroma of freshly cooked tarts - is in the air! Caroline has the hots for the school's hunky master chef and Max falls head over sticky buns for the outrageous class clown.

Review:  2 Broke Girls is one of those rare shows that features a fantastic feature film star in Kat Dennings.  She brings an instant credibility to this series, which features fantastic character banter and some really therapeutic situations for those that have or do struggle with money.   The third season of the show has introduced a handful of new characters and plenty of crazy new situations.  This show is really funny with a very adult and naughty twinge at times.  This one is a must see.

Could Red John be a cult leader? A ghoulish forensic analyst? A super-suspicious Homeland Security Agent? Or one of four law officials, including the director of the CBI himself?

Review: On the surface the Mentalist is yet another crime procedure show in a sea of similar series.  However, when you dig deeper and you get into this series you see that its multi-faceted, complex and engaging.  The development of the main character, Patrick Jane, has really come along and I find myself very invested In his story.  This is a series that is completely worth owning.  The more you watch and re-watch the shows the more you catch in the way of nuances and hidden meanings and you see that there is so much going on in this series, which is part of what makes It so enjoyable.

Synopsis: "Sabrina" (1954): Sabrina is charming, humorous and aglow with some of Hollywood's greatest stars. Humphrey Bogart, William Holden and Audrey Hepburn star in a Cinderella story directed by renowned filmmaker Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard, Some Like It Hot). Bogie and Holden are the mega-rich Larrabee brothers of Long Island. Bogie's all work, Holden's all playboy. But when Sabrina, daughter of the family's chauffeur, returns from Paris all grown up and glamorous, the stage is set for some family fireworks as the brothers fall under the spell of Hepburn's delightful charms. "Roman Holiday"(1953): Roman Holiday was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and Audrey Hepburn captured an Oscar for her portrayal of a modern-day princess rebelling against her royal obligations who explores Rome on her own. She meets Gregory Peck, an American newspaperman who, seeking an exclusive story, pretends ignorance of her true identity. But his plan falters as they fall in love. Eddie Albert contributes to the fun as Peck's carefree cameraman pal. Stylishly directed by William Wyler, this romantic comedy ranks as one of the most enjoyable films of all times. "Breakfast At Tiffany's"(1961): From the opening strains of Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer's haunting Oscar-winning song "Moon River," you'll once again be under the alluring spell of that madcap, carefree New York playgirl known as Holly Golighty (Audrey Hepburn) in this 24-carat romantic comedy based on Truman Capote's best-selling novella. George Peppard is the struggling and "sponsored" young writer who finds himself swept into Holly's dizzying, delightfully unstructured lifestyle as she determinedly scours Manhattan for a suitable millionaire to marry. The sparkling special features on this Anniversary Edition DVD only add to the luster of director Black Edwards' timeless film classic. Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam and Mickey Rooney co-star: Mancini won an additional Academy Award for his enthralling musical score.

Review: There are only a few stars from years gone by that stay fresh in our minds and the charming Audrey Hepburn is definitely one of them.  This great new Blu-ray collection gives us three of her best films, Sabrina, Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's!  These classics look amazing in high-definition...this is the first time that I've seen them that way.  We even get the option of watching each of them in black and white or color!  I really appreciated that feature.  This is a must have and a fun family friendly watch.

Synopsis: Ever since Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, was a little girl, the English have wanted her country and her crown. As a teenager, Mary is sent to France to wed its next king to save herself and her people. Waiting at the French Court is the gorgeous Prince Francis, his illegitimate half-brother Sebastian, a king on the brink of madness, a scheming queen, and the seer Nostradamus with a devastating prophecy. While royal conspiracies, sexual intrigue and mysterious dark forces lurk around every castle corner, Mary struggles to rule her heart's conflicting passions and make the right decisions as she prepares to become queen. Politics, passion and duty make for thrilling drama in all 22 royally scandalous episodes of the powerful new series, "Reign".

Review:  The CW rarely has a show that I feel is worth watching.  Amongst that shortlist is the new period drama Reign.  This show, while not necessarily historically accurate, is wildly entertaining.   One nice thing about this series being on network instead of cable is that we get a whopping 22 episodes in this first season.  The show focuses around  Mary Queen of Scots and the drama surrounding her young life.  Though the show takes place many centuries ago, there are still themes and situations that ring true today.   It has the quality of the Tudors with perhaps a little more accessibility.  The themes of love, betrayl, politics all find their way inside of this series.  I really enjoyed watching this new series and I look forward to season 2.  Get caught up with this great new DVD.

Special features: "'Reign': The Making of a Queen" - In this featurette, we'll talk with executive producers Laurie McCarthy and Brad Silberling and the cast to uncover the story of how the show came to be, why it was such an exciting story to tell, and how its makers re-shaped history to thrill a modern audience; "The Authenticity of 'Reign': Recreating the 16th Century" - From costumes to castles, an inside look at the design and style of "Reign"; Deleted Scenes.

Synopsis: Starling City has been torn apart by the Undertaking, so the need for the hooded vigilante - now known as "The Arrow" - is more urgent than ever in the explosive second season of the hit action series based on DC Comics' "Green Arrow". After retreating to the island on which he was once stranded, Oliver Queen returns to protect his mother, sister and besieged company, but comes to realize that allies and enemies have switched sides, and the stranglehold of evil on family, friends and city is diabolically linked to his fateful shipwreck. A once-tight comrade-at-arms and a strength-enhancing, yet mind-warping serum may prove to be the mightiest adversaries "The Arrow" has ever encountered. Can justice find its target in this breathlessly exciting, 23-episode Season Two? Or will all fall before the fury of Deathstroke.

Review:  Arrow began strong with the first season, but this second season was really the test of whether or not the show could pull together and move past the initial concept with the huge finale.  Not only did Arrow move forward, but it improved upon itself!  This is the first superhero show that I would recommend to anyone..these guys do it right!   This is one of my favorite shows and the second season amps it up with the impending confrontation with Slade and tons of twists turns and reveals.  Each and every episode is worth watching and builds the ongoing narrative to the epic finale that has us begging for season three!

Special features: Three New Featurettes: "From Vigilante to 'Green Arrow'" - Documentary highlighting Oliver Queen's journey from fighting injustices to becoming Sterling City's accepted savior; "How Did They Do That?! Action & FX" - Explores how Season 2 has raised the bar for action and FX; showing how the creators can make anything the writers dream up come to life; "Wirework: The Impossible Moves of Arrow" - See how the intense and elaborate fight sequences are shot for maximum realism; Episode Commentary; Deleted Scenes; Gag Reel.

Synopsis: This sexy and thrilling new series from "The Vampire Diaries'" executive producer centers on the Original vampire family and the dangerous vampire/werewolf hybrid, Klaus (Joseph Morgan), who returns to the magical melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans - a town he helped build centuries ago. Acting on a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him, Klaus' questions lead him to his diabolical former protege, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), a charismatic vampire with total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of the city.

But his "Two Worlds" collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a "civilized" life with the beautiful Jane and the life he shares with his fun-loving friends and his gorilla family. Enjoy this wild and wonderful adventure in a whole new way on Disney Blu-ray!

Review:  I remember when Tarzan hit theaters back in the day.  My wife and I loved it then and we love it now.  Its such a joy to share this one with our kids, and in high-definition no less!   The film has never looked better, literally.  The color really pops, the sound is amazing and the movie still holds up as being delightful and fun.  This one is a no brainer...everyone MUST own!

Synopsis: The Devil's Cauldron - a city of depravity and violence, where only the lethal survive. Two hit men rule these streets, feared by all but loyal to one another. When a beautiful woman seduces them both, they turn on each other, igniting an epic battle that may bring the city to the brink of destruction.

Review: I've seen my fair share of asian action films.  In fact, I've seen a few people's shares!  There are few films that have the outright violence and carnage that Dragonwolf brings to the screen.   There is a great mixture of grindhouse violence and love drama.  Its really one of the finest films I've seen in a long time.  It has just enough of everything to keep my attention.  This one is must-see!

Synopsis: An ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together. Includes 3D blu-ray, 2D blu-ray, 2D DVD, digital HD ultraviolet and exclusive minifigurine.

Review: There are few things as glorious as a Lego feature film.  If you follow animation you know that there have been a few great Lego releases, including Star Wars and Dc Comics.  These are really fun, but very brief mini-releases.  This full length film is a win for adults and kids alike.  This set comes with the DVD, 2D Blu-Ray and even the 3D version of the film!  Also, a great Lego minifigure of the movie character Vitruvius!  This is the ultimate edition of the film, to be sure!  The movie itself is a great mixture of fun, adventure and feeling.  Everyone in our household adores it, from ages 4 all the way to 34!  This one is a great buy for the entire family and a must-have for fun summertime watching!  Fair warning, the song "Everything is Awesome" will be stuck in your head from then on.

Review: This is the sequel to the hit adventure fantasy film 300.  I actually enjoyed this film more than the first one, for a few reasons.  Firstly, a new director...I'm not a Zack Snyder fan whatsoever.  Next, the effects were toned down a bit from the first one.  The story in this one is a little prequel and a also some events that happen at the same time as the events in 300.  This was surprisingly fun for a sequel and I would actually recommend it to anyone!
