3rd Rock from the Sun: Season 6 (2006) Review

I guess I never saw the final season of the show when it was in its first release because I don't remember any of the episodes. I own the other five seasons, so you can tell I'm a big fan of the series in general. I've watched most of the shows now on this 6th season set and I was really surprised. I kinda expected the last year to fall off in quality and to rehash a lot of the same schtick. But so far I've really liked every episode. By this time in the series the actors are all very comfortable with one another but the relationships don't feel stale to me. If you are inclined to like some of the other seasons, then you might want to take a chance on this one as well.

The Job - The Complete Series (2001) Review

The Job - The Complete Series (2001)

As a mid-season filler for "NYPD Blue", "The Job" turned out to be one of the best shows aired in a long time. With a sharp-witted irreverant script and a uniformly great cast, it should have run longer than 19 episodes.
Denis Leary, co-creator, co-producer and co-writer (with Peter Tolan) stars as unscrupulous Mike MacNeil, a pill-popping chain-smoking NYC Detective trying to keep his wife/family, 26 year old girlfriend and job all in balance. When the show ended, everything was unravelling in his life....
The rest of the cast is just too good to single anyone out, even with the recurring "guest" roles - with one stand out there being Janet Hubert-Whitten. Although listed as appearing in only four episodes as Bill Nunn's (Pip) iron fisted domineering wife Adina, her presence is felt in nearly every episode looming over the whipped Pip like a dark menacing cloud.
Nothing whatever is sacred whether it be race, religion or severed body parts. Case in point would be Lt. Williams, played in the pilot episode by Richard Gant, who can't remember the two Hispanic detective's names and calls them rice and beans ("I've been a detective for 36 years...I'm too old to learn new names")
While many things in the show would be offensive if they were played straight, the brilliant scripts don't pull it's punches on any topic and delivers dead-pan humor with gleeful zest.
The four DVD set comes nicely packaged and has few, but substantial extras, including interviews and a gag reel. Definitely one of the best releases of the year!
