NEWSROOM: SEASON 2 (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chanced across this series as it was airing on the local PBS affiliate. Ken Finkleman's George Findlay is a gem, an egomaniac and hypocrite. The supporting cast is also wonderful. The writing is sharp. If you haven't seen it, it's worth checking out. Favorite episodes include "The Fifty" and "Anchors Away."

Few shows in TV history have delivered more dark wit than Ken Finkleman's groundbreaking series The Newsroom. The show's caustically comic behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a network television newsroom has been applauded by both audiences and critics. Back this season are anchor Jim (Peter Keleghan), who in the face of world disaster is plagued by a wardrobe dilemma; Karen (Karen Hines), whose bitchiness is temporarily transformed during a love affair; Matt (Matt Watts), confidante and foil to George; Allen (Douglas Bell), the overeducated under-achiever with no voice; and George (Ken Finkleman). DVD features include Ken Finkleman audio commentary

Adventures of Kit Carson - Volumes 1-11 (11-DVD) (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)4 episodes on each disc gets you about half of the 104 half-hour episodes of this television western series; they were originally broadcast in local syndication during the 1951-55 television seasons. And it played for years after that on Saturday mornings.
The series fell into the "Kiddie" western category with shows like: "The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok", "The Lone Ranger", "Rin Tin Tin", and "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon".
Blond, rugged, All-American action film hero ("Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo") Bill Williams played the title character. Don Diamond played Kit's ethnic sidekick El Toro. Diamond is probably best remembered as Corporal Reyes on Disney's "Zorro" series although he would also go on to play "Crazy Cat" on "F-Troop".
The series was pretty straight forward with few surprises, occasionally villain would be presented with some shades of gray which made it more multi-dimensional than most similar series. Like "The Cisco Kid", the series served as an unlikely showcase for some of Hollywood's most attractive starlets. While none of these girls seem to have made it big, no other westerns of the period managed nearly this attractive a group of distaff guest stars.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
