Family movie except for a scene of nudity.
Recommended. Send the kids to get the microwave popcorn during the nude sister scene.

A worthwhile movie
In spite of all the complaints by previous reviewers I thought there was a very profound message behind this movie. Okay, so this movie was obviously filmed in the cheesy 70s but the theme behind it is very important. Sacrificial love for family members and the family of the human race. I personally thought it was a beautiful story if you choose to see through the things that don't matter. Excellent movie for adults and kids.

such a good movie
This movie was a story of courage sacrifice and love.

It was pg for some things but the nudity was not much too it. and most of it was hidden behind a bush.

It was a good story I think. I think its something everybody should see. Most movies nowadays show nothing but blatant sex and violence. they showed more at the superbowl.

I recommend this move highly!

Against a Crooked Sky
I saw this movie when I was a child and I still remember it! Sure, it's dated, but it certainly had a message about the strength of will that had an impact. It would be a great movei for a family with young kids!

Love of Family
This video held my interest right to the end. It's based on the principal, there is no greater love than to give your life for a friend. The scenery is beautiful and the acting is good. The story is based on a pioneer family and the struggles they have with the Indians. This is an excellent family video. ... Read more

To the distinctive yells of "Hi-Yo, Silver!" a phenomenon from the early days of television rides again. The Lone Ranger, starring Clayton Moore as the mysterious and righteous gunslinger and Jay Silverheels as his faithful sidekick Tonto, began on radio and made the transition to the small screen more than 50 years ago. In the three vintage programs on this tape the scripts are far from complicated, and the acting by Clayton Moore is at times absurdly awkward, yet the shows have an endearing innocent charm to them. Typically, the Lone Ranger and Tonto happen upon a situation about to turn bad, they intercede on the side of law and order with the Lone Ranger firing off some trademark silver bullets, and just as the happy citizens ask, "Who was that masked man?" the two heroes ride off in a cloud of dust. In the episode "Finders Keepers" the Lone Ranger encourages an outlaw to go straight and accept the consequences, and in "The Masked Rider" he bravely endeavors to infiltrate a gang of outlaws. In the concluding episode on this tape, "The Legend of the Old Timers," the Lone Ranger and Tonto enlist a posse of elderly cowhands to come to the rescue of a young man--played by DeForest Kelley, of later Star Trek fame--who is being swindled out of the ranch he's inherited. These shows are a campy and entertaining glimpse at what television offered way back in 1949. --Robert J. McNamara ... Read more

Join With Me In Yesteryear.....
Hi-Yo Silver, Awaaaaaayyyy!

Are you old enough to recall being glued to your TV set watching the Lone Ranger? Are you even older, and remember listening on the radio? Are you younger, and always wondered what the older folks meant by Hi-Yo Silver?

Here's your chance to re-live those days, or live them again for the first time!

Nobody ever said the acting was stellar, but some of it ain't bad, and that's besides the point. This is the ORIGINAL Lone Ranger TV series, the first, the making of, and the masking of, the origin of the Masked Man who brought Law and Order to the Old West.

You didn't think it happened in New York City didja?

Thrill as the anticipated massacre occurs, feel for the Rangers, glory in the telling of the survivor's recovery in Tonto's care, see how he came to be called "Kemosabe", join with me now as the LONE RANGER RIDES AGAIN!

Now how can you pass that up? ... Read more

Round up this vintage Rawhide episode originally broadcast in 1963. Clint Eastwood stars as Rowdy Yates, who becomes "Sir Lancelot" to Judy Hall (guest star Susan Oliver), a freshly tarred and feathered saloon singer to whom he offers safe haven with the cattle drive. Trail boss Gil Favor (Eric Fleming) disapproves of her disruptive presence. Out of spite, she vows, "By the time I finish with his crew, he'll be lucky if he has one cow left." James Best, perhaps best known as Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on The Dukes of Hazzard, guest stars as Willie Cain, whose interest in Judy ("She bounces class like a fistful of diamonds") dramatically increases when it is revealed that she is in fact an heiress. The legendary Lon Chaney Jr. (The Wolf Man) gives a heartbreaking performance as gentle giant Rock, who tragically defends her honor. As usual, grizzled cook Wishbone (Paul Brinegar) gets the episode's best line. Suspecting that Lola's Saloon is watering its drinks, he remarks of the carousing drovers, "Usually they'd be so drunk they couldn't hit the floor with their hat in three throws." --Donald Liebenson ...

Great Episode
To quote another reviewer, this is indeed proof of the golden days of the western and Clint Eastwood. In this one, the crew goes to a saloon in a nearby town to relax, but the locals have a scene hatched - steal their money and their supplies! One of the sweet lady singers in the saloon warns them, and a good old fashioned bar brawl ensues! But there are two evil lady saloon singer gals who didn't like her telling the visitor to the saloon what was going on, so they decide to take it out on her. The crews hears everyone laughing at her..." do you hear that... that's the sound of someone else taking pleasure in someone else's misery!"
They offer her safe haven with them for a while, but one of the guys is kind of bent on getting to know her, and she is hard to get to know. Each individual has their own unique personality such as the one guy who likes the new lady: "Noone laughs at me - nobody!"
Very realistic confrontations in this series. They are shown more the way hard feelings develope in real life. Character interaction is excellent.
First class western bravado. ... Read more

Irwin should have quit while he was ahead!
Irwin Allen was a real showman...the P.T. Barnum of disaster movies! But after his TV success and subsequent big-screen hits like THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE and THE TOWERING INFERNO, he should have quit while he was ahead. In this boring, low budget TV movie, he brings together lots of his favorite players (Lynley, McDowall, Hershey, Milner) and gets them all wet. Strictly for fans.

The Master of Disaster Strikes Again!
Although not as compelling or as large scale as his 1972 blockbuster, "The Poseidon Adventure", this Irwin Allen television movie is quite entertaining and has some decent special effects. The cast is good especially martin Milner and Barbara Hershley. Roddy McDowall and Carol Lynley, both stars of "The Poseidon Adventure" prove to be water disaster pro's by turning in good solid supporting performances. Again, "Flood!" won't win any Emmy's but it will entertain you and that is what Irwin Allen does best. ... Read more

Andy and Barney are always great
Just want to assure you that this is a good video. It does have the silly whistling song, instead of the original Andy Griffith theme, but we didn't really mind that. We quit watching tv because it was just getting too obscene, so this was a real find for us, and truly enjoyable.

Where's the theme song?
I guess the video company that purchased the rights to these episodes decided it would be less expensive to compose their own theme music instead of paying the copyright holder to use the familiar "whistling" tune on the tape. Whatever the reason, it doesn't work.

The episodes are the same great shows we all remember, but the music isn't the same and the visual quality of the tape itself is a little bit shaky. Be aware of this if you're considering a purchase of this cassette.

A great collection of Andy!
We are very pleased with this collection. We are really big Andy fans and this is a very nice collection of episodes. 2 thumbs up!

No Stop Andy!
You can never get enough of those old-time classics. This Andy Griffth tape features 10 episodes that will entertain you for hours. I found this tape and I could not pass up a deal like this. I received this tape 1 week ago and I have already watched every episode atleast 2 times. The quality is great and it has all the best episodes. If you like the Andy Griffth Show Gang, you'll love this Video. ... Read more

Great shows,but very dissapointing video!!!
"The Andy Griffith Show" is perhaps one of the absolute best and very entertaining shows of its time.However,there are 16 episodes of the series,mostly from the 3rd Season,that have end up in the public domain and that means that there are many different companies out there that are releasing the shows often at times with poor picture and sound or even removing the classic original theme music.But this UAV video package is one of those few.This video contains 10 out of the 16 public domain episodes of TAGS and all of the shows contain very innapropriate stock keyboard music,which makes the opening theme look like something off of Saturday Morning TV for Kids and it also ruins the whole atmosphere of the series!! I give this two stars,because both the picture and sound quality are superb,but ZERO for the opening and end credit music.Some years ago,UAV released a series of AUTHORIZED "Andy Griffith Show" episodes such as "A Christmas Story","Haunted House",and many other episodes and yes,all of those releases did contain the original theme music.Unfortunately,these videos are now out-of-print and are often considered collector's items! So I urge the AGS fans to avoid this tape at all costs and I strongly recommnend either the Platinum Disc or Brentwood DVD's of the series as they do outstanding jobs using better quality opening and closing music compared to this version!! I will never buy these shows from either UAV or Madacy or any other crappy distributor that puts out these great shows!! Avoid this and or any other AGS titles from UAV,period!!!

Good except for intro music
The episodes listed are good choices as the episodes are interesting and they span the main cast. The video quality is excellent, as is the sound. This can not be said of all Mayberry videos. The only detraction is that the video producer chose different but similar sounding intro music, presumably to avoid paying royalties on the music. This is practical, but how many of us buy Mayberry video's for practical reasons? My kids think this is the original music - a small but disappointing fact.

Overall, with well-chosen episodes, great quality images and sound, this is a good video for Andy fans and those with kids who want quality entertainment with traditional values. ... Read more

Herman's a big lovable frump.
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid. I hadn't seen it in many years. How could you not love the comedy team of Gwynne and Lewis. From "Car 54, Where Are You" to Herman and Grandpa, they are as well matched as any of the great duo's. The one thing missing in this movie are the laugh tracks. Some people hate them. I think they were nostalgia for that time period. I realize this was a movie, but I feel the use of the laugh track was a big part of the TV show's success because there are some parts of this movie that needed it. Comments that were funny, but were dry and/or quiet because of it not being there. This movie is a full length continuation of the TV show. I also enjoyed being able to see them in color and finally getting to see their green skin. The black and white TV show is reminiscent of all the great original monster movie's of the 30's and 40's seen in that same format and another plus in my opinion to the show's success. The Munsters were and still are an enjoyable part of my life. Even my five year old grandson loves Herman. That's got to tell you something.

From a die hard Munsters fan...
I loved this movie, I am sure to watch it, with my children several more times this year! The kids were just introduced to the Munsters this year and it looks like this movie may have inducted a new generation of fans!

Good Family Fun
Fans of the sitcom will enjoy this film, in which the Munster family become involved in a series of oddball capers during a trip to England. The British cast members complement the TV cast quite well, making this a very funny film which the entire family can enjoy. Another interesting feature about this film is that, unlike the TV series, it is filmed in color, giving the viewer an opportunity to see the Munsters in all their delightfully ghoulish glory. This one is vastly superior to both the 1981 reunion film "Revenge of the Munsters" and the dreadful syndicated series, "The New Munsters" which has none of the attributes which made the original series a winner. This one boasts the full TV cast (in their prime), a good script, and good direction. Highly recommended. ... Read more

Bob Denver Rules!! Cute Family western!!
Bob Denver rules in this cute family western.It's a must see!!

History only.
It's Gilligan's Island of the west. A wagon train with Denver, Forrest Tucker, and a group of forgettable "castaways". Denver and Tucker aren't bad. The writing, direction, photography, production, sets, and acting are terrible. It's done by many of the same people that did Gilligan's Island, but they didn't seem to care much about this program. I will admit that since it's just a pilot episode and Gilligan's pilot wasn't that good either maybe it would have made it if it had more time to develop. Denver and Tucker have good chemistry. The banker and his wife have little air time, for good reason. The school teacher is not a good replacement for Russell Johnson. The saloon girl is rough and tumble not soft and sexy like Tina Louise. The girl from Petticoat Junction (I can't remember her name) was alright in Dawn Wells roll, but she spent too much time lost and getting horrid lines. Even Denver fans might find this program too much, but I think it's worth it for 5 dollars. ... Read more

"M*A*S*H" begins to turn into something more than a sitcom
This tape provides the middle third of the first season of "M*A*S*H," when Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and Trapper John (Wayne Rogers) were more interested in chasing pretty young female lieutenants than saving lives in the operating room. However, the foundation was being set for the show to become television's first dramedy/black comedy and not just another military sitcom in the tradition of "Sgt. Bilko":

(9) "Henry, Please Come Home" (Writer: Laurence Marks, Aired: November 19, 1972) finds Frank Burns (Larry Linville) taking over the 4077th when Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) is transferred to Tokyo. Consequently, it is up to Hawkeye and Trapper, with help from Radar (Gary Burghoff) to get their bumbling but beloved leader back home. Grade B-: Actually, the best part of this episode is watching Frank turn the camp shipshape, because getting Henry back is a foregone conclusion.

(10) "I Hate a Mystery" (Writer: Hal Dresner, Aired: November 26, 1972) finds Hawkeye playing detective when all the evidence suggests he is the one who has been stealing things from everybody in the camp. Grade D+: I do not like this episode because it runs counter to the notion of family that exists in such a unit and because the real thief is so obvious that the final resolution seems forced.

(11) "Germ Warfare" (Writer: Larry Gelbart, Aired: December 10, 1972) forces Hawkeye to tap a sleeping Frank for a pint of blood for an emergency blood transfusion only to discover that there might be something wrong with Frank. Grade B-: A minor outing but interesting because for the first time the guys show some concern for Frank as a human being.

(12) "Dear Dad" (Writer: Larry Gelbart, Aired: December 17, 1972) is an innovative effort to stretch the narrative boundaries of the show as a situation comedy. Hawkeye narrates the episode as a letter home in which he reveals what is happening with everybody in the camp. Grade A: This format was utilized several times over the rest of the series, including Winchester dictating a tape home, but it also marks the point where it is clear once and for all that Hawkeye Pierce is the star and voice of "M*A*S*H."

(13) "Edwina" (Writer: Hal Dresner, Aired: December 24, 1972) has the nurses insisting the guys find a date for the accident-prone nurse Edwina (Arlene Golonka). Grade C-: Back to standard military sitcom nonsense; compare this with the next episode.

(14) "Love Story" (Writer: Laurence Marks, Aired: January 7, 1973) has Trapper and Hawkeye giving Radar a course in high culture ("Ah, Bach!") to impress a brainy new nurse (Kelly Jean Peters) with whom the little corporal is smitten. Grade B+: The first true Radar O'Reilly episode that provided the character with heart to go along with that ESP.

(15) "Tuttle" (Writer: Bruce Shelly, David Ketchum; Aired: January 14, 1973) has Hawkeye and Trapper creating a fictional captain so that his army pay can be donated to the local orphanage. Grade B+: One of the better military comedies on the show, and the first decent script written by someone other than Gelbart and Marks; again, see the next one.

(16) "The Ringbanger" (Writer: Jerry Mayer; Aired; January 21, 1973) is an overzealous colonel (Leslie Nielsen) whose gunho attitude is getting his troops killed. So the boys decide to do what they can to take the colonel out of action. This is also the first episode directed by former child star Jackie Cooper, who would become a main director for the series in Season 2. Grade B+: One of the first episodes to deal with the war against the war and how the doctors periodically tried to fight back.

Overall, the second third of Season 1 grades slightly higher than the first third; there is only one clunker in the lot, which is pretty good. The show is starting to take things a bit more seriously. However, it is the next tape, which begins with the most significant episode in the history of "M*A*S*H" that shows the series could play both comedy and drama, thereby reaching operatic heights. To be continued... ... Read more

"M*A*S*H" begins Season 2 with a better sense of self
By the end of its first season "M*A*S*H" had established its foundation as television's first dramedy, a show that could combine comedy with drama, as amply proven in the landmark episode "Sometimes You Hear the Bullet." More importantly, CBS saw enough to move the show to its powerhouse Saturday night lineup and put "M*A*S*H" in between "All in the Family" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (think about that: three of the Top 10 situation comedies of all time back-to-back-to-back). Not surprisingly, "M*A*S*H" was suddenly the number 4 show in the Nielsen ratings.

What we see in Season 2 of "M*A*S*H" (1973-74) is that Hawkeye (Alan Alda) is the star of the show but the other characters are now being developed as feeling human beings and not just comic characters; the change is most noticeable and ultimately most significant with Hot Lips (Loretta Swit). This videotape has the first third of the Season 2 episodes:

(25) "Divided We Stand" (Writer: Larry Gelbart; Aired: September 15, 1973) is essentially a second pilot. Functionally this was to introduce the major characters to new viewers, but it also showed returning viewers the new direction of the show. When an army observer (Anthony Holland) shows up to check out the 4077th for reassignment, everybody pretends to get along--as long as they think the guy is not watching. Grade A: the observer's critique of the 4077th hits the nail on the head about what the group (and the show) is now all about.

(26) "Five O'Clock Charlie" (Writers: Larry Gelbart & Laurence marks; Aired: September 22, 1973) is an inept North Korean pilot who is trying to bomb an abandoned dump near the 4077th. Everyone is amused by the daily ritual except for Frank (Larry Linville), who gets a really big gun to shoot the plane down. Grade B+: This is a military comedy episode but written by the show's two best writers.

(27) "Radar's Report" (Writer: Laurence Marks; Aired: September 29, 1973) has the corporal from Iowa detailing the odd events happening around camp. The episode marks the first appearance of Sidney Freedman (Allan Arbus), there to see if Klinger (Jamie Farr) is nuts or not. Grade B: A nice attempt to extend the "Dear Dad" idea to another character.

(28) "For the Good of the Outfit" (Writer: Jerry Mayer; Aired: October 6, 1973) has Hawkeye and Trapper (Wayne Rogers) trying to undo a cover-up when the Army accidentally bombs a local village. Grade C+: The parallels to Vietnam are obvious and the docs have their hearts in the right place, but I have to think the Army would have squashed them like bugs or sent them to a battalion aid station (remember, this is the time of Watergate).

(29) "Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde" (Writers: Alan Alda & Robert Klane) is simply about the fact that after three straight days in the O.R. Hawkeye cannot slow down. Grade B: Nice idea by Alda about his character.

(30) "Kim" (Writers: Marc Mandel, Larry Gelbart, & Laurence Marks; Aired: October 20, 1973) finally gives Trapper a moment to shine when he decides to adopt an orphaned Korean kid. Grade B: The ending is a bit absurd, but seeing the serious side of Trapper John is a big plus.

(31) "L.I.P. (Local Indigenous Personnel)" (Writer: Carl Kleinschmitt; Aired: October 27, 1973) has the Swamp duo blackmailing an Army officer (Burt Young) so that a young G.I. can marry a local girl. Grade B-: The plus is dealing with the issue of racism in the military, but the minus is the hijinks to get the guy to do the right thing.

(32) "The Trial of Henry Blake" (Writers: McLean Stevenson, Larry Gelbart, and Laurence Marks; Aired: November 3, 1973) has the military judging whether Henry (McLean Stevenson) is fit to command the 4077th. Grade B+: there are some nice "Rashomon" moments in this one as Frank recalls how he remembers events. Again, one of the cast members comes up with something that makes his character more credible and less of a joke. It is because of episodes like this one that the death of Henry Blake had the impact that it did.

Although there is only one classic "M*A*S*H" episode on this tape, there are several that are close. More importantly, we do not have any of the lame episodes that afflicted the show during its first season. Of course, the glory days of "M*A*S*H" do not come until Season 4, so the best is yet to come. ... Read more

"M*A*S*H" starts off as more of a standard military sitcom
"M*A*S*H" would become one of the classic situation comedies in the history of television, although when it hit its peak it was more properly a dramedy. But it did not start off as a great comedy. In the beginning of its first season "M*A*S*H" was more a military comedy in the tradition of "Sgt. Bilko" and "Hogan's Heroes"; in fact, writer Laurence Marks, who wrote "The Moose" and "Yankee Doodle Doctor" of the eight episodes collected on this first video tape for Season 1, was the main writer on the bizarre sitcom set in a German P.O.W. camp during World War II. Anyhow, on that first season of "M*A*S*H" set during the Korean War, Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda) and Trapper John McIntyre (Wayne Rogers), spent more time chasing skirts than treating the wounded in the O.R. But by the last third of that season co-creator Larry Gelbart and producer Gene Reynolds would turn the bawdy sitcom into a legitimate black comedy, arguably the first on television. You can see the low point from where they started with these first eight episodes from Season 1:

(1) "M*A*S*H" Pilot (Writer: Larry Gelbart, Aired: September 17, 1972). Hawkeye and Trapper throw a party to raise money to send their Korean houseboy Ho-John to a U.S. college. Notice that one of the Swamp's inhabitants is Spearchucker Jones (Timothy Brown), who failed to survive more than a few episodes. Grade B+: Despite its faults, this establishes the sense of irreverence towards military authority.

(2) "To Market, to Market" (Writer: Burt Styler, Aired: September 24, 1972). The 4077th needs medical supplies so Hawkeye trade's Henry Blake's desk to a Korean black-marketer (Jack Soo). Grade C-: Hawkeye as Bilko is old hat and at this point the North Koreans are comic relief.

(3) "Requiem for a Lightweight" (Writer: Bob Klane, Aired: October 1, 1972). Hawkeye and Trapper are both after Nurse Margie Cutler (Marcia Strassman), which explains why Trapper ends up in a boxing ring facing a really big guy. Grade C-: Substandard military comedy with no one wondering why Trapper knocks out his opponent without actually punching him.

(4) "Chief Surgeon Who?" (Writer: Larry Gelbart, Aired: October 8, 1972). Hawkeye is appointed chief surgeon and a jealous Frank Burns (Larry Linville) brings in a general (Sorrell Booke) to set things right. But Hawkeye shows the general a thing or two about meatball surgery. The first appearance of Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr) is in this episode. Grade A-: You can tell the quality of a Gelbart script from the start and at the end of Act II the show finds its serious voice.

(5) "The Moose" (Writer: Laurence Marks, Aired: October 15, 1972). The first story drawn from actual historical detail, a Korean family sells their teenage girl to be the servant ("moose") of a G.I. An outraged Hawkeye tries to get her emancipated. Grade B: Attention to historical accuracy would become one of the show's strengths and would make it harder to do the standard sitcom stuff.

(6) "Yankee Doodle Doctor" (Writer: Laurence Marks, Aired: October 22, 1972). The army wants to make a propaganda film glorifying the doctors as "saints in surgical garb." However, Hawkeye has his own ideas about what the film should be like. Grade B+: Another first season episode where there is lots of shtick (Hawkeye as Groucho Marx, Trapper as Harpo), but a totally compelling bit where Hawkeye talks to the movie camera about what war is really all about.

(7) "Bananas, Crackers, and Nuts" (Writer: Burt Styler, Aired: November 5, 1972). Hawkeye is denied a weekend pass to Tokyo and decides to go off the deep end. Eventually Henry has to send for a shrink (Stuart Margolin). Grade C+: More shtick, which would come back to haunt the character where he really does crack up in the final episode, "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen."

(8) "Cowboy" (Writer: Bob Klane, Aired: November 12, 1972). A shell-shocked helicopter pilot (Billy Green Bush) becomes violent when Henry (McLean Stevenson) denies him a discharge to go back home. Grade C-: Another reminder that there was a serious side to the war and the impact it had on families, but it is hard to take the kidnapping of the bumbling Blake seriously.

Overall this collection grades out as a solid B, purely on the strength of the two scripts each by Gelbart and Marks. The other episodes just get in the way of what "M*A*S*H" would ultimately be in the end and look worse in comparison to what is to come. Of course, the pilot episode is of primary historical importance, but there are a few nice moments on this first volume.

MASH RULES!!!!
Mash is the best show there has been on TV period.....Have a nice Day!! ... Read more

Season 4 of "M*A*S*H" ends with "The Interview"
A pair of tour de force episodes with Alan Alda and the entire cast are the highlights from the eight episodes ending Season 4 of "M*A*S*H" collected here on Volume 4:

Episode 17, "Dear Ma" (Written by Everett Greenbaum & Jim Fritzel, Aired December 23, 1975) finds it is Radar's turn to write home in the third "letter" episode from Season 4 and offers a familiar hodge podge of what is happening at the 4077th. 4 Stars.

Episode 18, "Der Tag" (Written by Everett Greenbaum & Jim Fritzel, Aired January 6, 1976) has Colonel Potter (Harry Morgan) ordering Hawkeye (Alda) and B.J. (Mike Farrell) to be nice to Frank Burns (Larry Linville). That can only last so long and after putting on a toe tag that declares Frank to be "Emotionally Exhausted and Morally Bankrupt," the inebriated Major Burns ends up at a battalion aid station. Less than pleased, Potter orders the two doctors to the front to retrieve Frank. A nice example of the Swampmates going too far. 4 Stars.

Episode 19, "Hawkeye" (Written by Larry Gelbart & Simon Munter, Aired January 13, 1976) is a chance for Alan Alda to shine as a actor. Hawkeye overturns his jeep trying to avoiding hitting some children and sustains a concussion. Knowing that if he loses consciousness he might never wake up, Hawkeye babbles continuously to the mystified Korean family into whose home he has stumbled. Ambitious if not completely satisfactory and certainly something completely different. 4.5 Stars.

Episode 20, "Some 38th Parallels" (Written by John Regler & Gary Markowitz, Aired January 20, 1976) has Frank's bright idea of having the South Korean locals bid on the 4077th garbage merging with Hawkeye's disdain for Colonel T.K. Coner, who insists on losing more men sending them to retrieve the bodies of their dead. An average example of the type of episode where the doctors bump heads with gung-ho Army types. 4 Stars.

Episode 21, "The Novocaine Mutiny" (Written by Burt Prelutsky, Aired January 27, 1976) provides a "Rashomon" like look at an incident for which Frank wants Hawkeye court-martialed. The chief attraction here is Frank's idealized vision of himself as a medical deity. Even if it is only in his own mind, this is one of Frank's finest moments. 4.5 Stars.

Episode 22, "Smilin' Jack" (Written by Larry Gelbart & Simon Mutner, Aired February 3, 1976) is the nickname of Jack Mitchell, a M*A*S*H chopper pilot who has flown 839 soldiers to M*A*S*H units and is shooting for the record of 842 help by Dangerous Dan Murphy. The only problem is Smilin' Jack has diabetes and has to be grounded. On the one hand taking a look at the chopper pilots is a nice change of pace, but the ending of this one is pretty foreseeable if not forced. 4 Stars.

Episode 23, "The More I See You" (Written by Larry Gelbart & Gene Reynolds, Aired February 10, 1976) finds Hawkeye confronted with Carlye Breslin (Blythe Danner), who is not just any old flame but the one that dumped him in medicine school because it was clear he would always be a doctor first. A pivotal episode that pokes some major holes in the persona of Hawkeye Pierce. 4.5 Stars.

Episode 24, "The Interview" (Written by Larry Gelbart, Aired February 24, 1976) takes the simple idea of having reporter Clete Roberts interviews the staff of the 4077th. Partly scripted, mostly ad libbed, this is a riveting episode in which the most memorable comment comes from Father Mulcahy talking about surgeons warming themselves over open wounds when it is cold. This episode more than any other signals that "M*A*S*H" is now a dramedy and not a situation comedy. 5 Stars.

One of the problems with rating the "M*A*S*H" episodes on this videotape is that if "The Interview" is a 5, then nothing else here can be. But half the episodes here at only half-step below that classical black & white season finale. The show will keep getting better, but clearly Season 4 of "M*A*S*H" was the best to date. ...

Great Movie, great disc
Like many, I was a BIG fan of both the "V" mini-series as a kid. Though even as a kid I found the dumbed-down weekly series to be sub-par, which is ironic considering I was the target demographic NBC was looking for. In rewatching the mini-series' as an adult it's apparent that "V: The Final Battle," while good, was also inferior to Ken Johnson's original. It's a shame he wasn't allowed to guide the further installments, "V" would probably still be on the air today in some form.

I wanted to clear up some of the confusion I'm seeing in these postings. First of all there is no missing footage, the mini-series is not cut in half. This DVD is exactly what it is billed as, "V - The Original Mini-Series." The original "V" was two parts which ran over two nights in 1983. It didn't have an ending, it wasn't really suppose to in order to tell its allegorical tale. The second mini-series, "V : The Final Battle" was three parts and aired over a year later. Both mini-series' were syndicated to UHF stations in the late eighties. Those stations usually ran all five parts over a week, though heavily edited. That might be what's confusing some. Considering this DVD has sold about four times better than Warner Bros. was expecting, I'd say it's a sure bet "The Final Battle" will be released on DVD before too long.

As to the Gag Reel, sadly it's not on the disc. It was supposed to be but unfortunately, Warner Bros. was unable to clear it for release. Too many of the actors wanted to be paid an additional fee for its inclusion on the disc. ... just never updated the information. Hope that helps!

''V'' is for ''Visionary''
*
"V," the NBC Television mini-series which first aired nearly two decades ago, was intended to be seen for its entertainment value though, admittedly, using some pre-mid 20th century historical elements to contribute to the overall plot and theme of the story -- specifically World War II Germany (the alien "national symbol" even resembling an incompleted 'connect-the-dots' swastika). Little did the writers, directors and producers of this mini-series realize that their sci-fi project was a late 20th century prophecy which would begin seeing fulfillment in the just few months shy of the dawning years of the 21st century.

The purchase of this DVD marked the very first time of my ever seeing this feature, and I was instantly hooked, especially by its dazzling high-octane opening sequence. The special effects were also nicely done considering the time period in which it was made, that it was a "made for television" movie, and the fact that it was made on the cheap. (It was also nice to see Robert Englund as something other than a flame-scarred tragedy figure.)

The story of "V" revolves around a race of seemingly benevolent space aliens who look, sound and act a lot like us. They convince the world that they are our friends and only wish to extend the hand of cooperation & unity and work toward a "common good" where all will benefit. But there are those who have some very gnawing suspicions about the "Visitors," that they are not quite everything they appear to be -- which is a serious understatement, for it turns out that the real agenda of the "Visitors" is to rape the planet of its most precious resources and enslave humanity.

"V's" creators obviously tried to parallel the story with National Socialist Germany, but in hindsight it becomes frighteningly obvious that "V" was as much a vision of the "historical future" as it was a view to the "historical past!" That unintentionally forseen future sneaked up on us and, just like in the mini-series, nobody took notice... until it was too late! That "future" which "V" foreshadowed occured during the "Campaign 2000" ("C2K") presidential [s]election! The similarities are too hauntingly similar:

> "V": "Visitors" came as "friends" promoting "brotherhood" and prosperity for all.
> "C2K": Republican nominee presented himself as a "compassionate uniter" who promised a strong, vibrant economy.

> "V": "Visitors" took control without being duly elected and under suspicious circumstances.
> "C2K": Republican presidential administration took control without being duly elected and under suspicious circumstances.

> "V": In order to usurp power, "Visitors" took advantage of impotent elected government officials.
> "C2K": In order to usurp power, Republicans took advantage of impotent elected Democrat government officials & politicians.

> "V": "Visitors" fabricated a non-existent energy crisis on their homeworld in order to plunder & exploit the precious natural resourses of earth.
> "C2K": Republicans fabricated a non-existent energy crisis in our homeland (in California specifically and in the whole of the United States in general) in order to plunder & exploit the precious natural resourses of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.

> "V": Major news media almost unilaterally gave supportive non-critical "pro-Visitor" spin to the news and did all they could to suppress independent media outlets and put a halt to, or discredit, any serious investigative news reporting.
> "C2K": Major news media almost unilaterally gave supportive non-critical "pro-Bush" spin to the news and did all they could to suppress independent media outlets and put a halt to, or discredit, any serious investigative news reporting.

> "V": Scientists were demonized by "Visitors" as unwholesome, unpatriotic, and even dangerous elements of society.
> "C2K": Environmentalists, corporate regulation advocates, and civil rights advocacy groups were demonized by Republicans as unwholesome, unpatriotic, and even dangerous elements of society.

> "V": "Visitors" preached peace and tolerance while instigating a very one-sided "endless war on terrorism," resulting in the repeal of certain rights guaranteed under Constitution-- including and especially 'free speech' --and labelling anyone critical of their unconstitutional actions as having sided with terrorists.
> "C2K": The Bush Administration preached peace and tolerance while instigating a very one-sided "endless war on terrorism," resulting in the repeal of certain rights guaranteed under Constitution-- including and especially 'free speech' --and labelling anyone critical of their unconstitutional actions as having sided with terrorists.

> "V": "Visitors" operated a 'secret government' from a base on their homeworld.
> "C2K": The Bush Administration established a secret government in an undisclosed location here in our homeland.

Where does one stop with all of the comparisons? The similarities are virtually endless! The only thing missing is a distinctive insignia to rally behind (that is, of course, if one doesn't already consider the American Flag to be it), designer costumes for the "Youth Brigades," and entire sweeps of towns and mass imprisonments.

In "V" the violators of our basic and most cherished rights were lizard-creatures wearing human-looking skin; In 21st century America they are human through-and-through, though they often speak with the 'forked tongue' of a reptile!

The makers of this mini-series probably had no idea they were developing a story with an eye on a direct future outcome, which makes this series even more enjoyable and even more disturbing to watch. Everyone should watch this video, not only for the entertainment value, but also as a warning and a wake-up call!

[Dialogue from the film]:
(Mike Donovan): "How did someone like that get to be your leader anyway?"
("Martin"): "Charisma. Circumstances, promises. Not enough of us spoke out to question him until it was too late."

"Do it Right.....V.......For Victory"
Sure the hair, Ferrari Sunglasses, and fashion scream 80's! The opening montage of the movie's stars pictured with thier names is straight out of any cheesy "movie-of-the-week" opening. But that is where "V"'s comparison to other made for TV movies ends. Look beyond all of that and you will find an engrossing story. A true underdog story that everyone will enjoy. Sure, "V" is basically a science fiction retelling of the Nazi takeover of Europe, but it is also much more. When I was a kid and this Mini-series first aired, me and my buddies couldn't get enough. Now watching it 20 years later, I wasn't sure how it would hold up. My wife who had never seen "V" figured I had just doomed her to another evening of "rubber" alien suited actors chasing half clothed women who are stupid enough to seperate themselves from the hero/heroine. But after about half an hour, "V" captured her imagination and attention as well. If you have never seen "V", then try not to find out too much of the story, and get this disk. Let if unfold for you the way it did for me back in 1983, and for my wife just the other night. You will be swept along on a journey that will not disappoint. The special effects hold up well, considering this was done before computer animation (which usually ends up looking worse than a guy in a rubber suit). The acting is okay too (I mean let's face it, "V" stars the Beastmaster guy and one of the students from The Greatest American Hero, plus a few scenes with Freddy Krueger), but it really is just the basic story that is so gripping. And now that this DVD is around $10 you just can't go wrong.

Not a complete piece
V is a rarity - a seminal achievment of classic sci-fi in a made-for-TV movie. This mini-series provides the groundwork, primarily the expository "these are the aliens, these people are the good guys, who's right and who's wrong" setup of the larger story. I remembered V very fondly from my youth, and was a bit dismayed to discover how seemingly incomplete this first mini-series was. When viewed with the now-available "V - The Final Battle" it's quite a satisfying ride. I would highly recommend buying "V" with "V - The Final Battle" and watching them as one. If you just buy this one, you'll be left wanting more.

Soon to be available? V - The Complete Series. A worthy continuation of the TV epic. At the time of its production, it was the most expensive per-episode TV series ever made. Now, a single cast member from "Friends" makes more per episode than an episode of "V" cost to make.

This mini-series is still awesome after 21 years!
After seeing this again, after 20 or so years, I still love it. Truly it is one of my favorite pieces of film of all time. It was way ahead of it's time in 1983. The storyline, special effects, and acting were all excellent, and the ending is climatic. Although it is 10 hours long, I didn't want to stop watching it, then or now. It really parrallels life, and hopefully will continue to open people's minds. I've now showed it to my children and pointed out how it is reminiscent of the holocaust in many ways. I definitely recommend that if you have never seen this, you do, and if it's been awhile, check it out again. It's fun the second time around. ... Read more

One Of The Best Christmas Shows Ever Done For Any TV Series!
"The Andy Griffith Show" was on network television for 8 seasons (1960-1968), and thanks to syndication it has never been off the air since.

The series' first season featured its one and only Christmas-themed show (entitled "Christmas Story"), and it is one of the finest Yuletide programs ever produced for a weekly TV series (in my own opinion, that is -- which is, I admit, tainted slightly with a built-in "Andy Griffith Show" bias). :)

"Christmas Story" co-stars Will Wright as mean and spiteful local department-store owner "Ben Weaver", who causes a bit of trouble on Christmas Eve for the Mayberry law-enforcement officers (Andy Taylor and Barney Fife). In reality, however, spiteful old Ben is deliberately *trying* to get himself arrested by "Fast Gun Fife", in order to join in the holiday festivities at the Courthouse.

The episode plays out very nicely, with Andy eventually "catching on" to Ben's little scheme. And, in typical Andrew Taylor fashion (with understanding and compassion -- even with regard to a man he's never really liked too much), Andy goes along with Ben's plan and dutifully arrests Weaver on the trumped-up charge of "emptying trash cans on the city streets".

Ben finally is able to join the party at the jailhouse, and even distributes gifts to everyone at the same time. Aunt Bee offers Ben a nice hot turkey dinner, and Ben's irritable and crusty nature melts away by episode's conclusion.

Another highlight of this moving and tender Christmas episode is when Elinor Donahue (who plays Andy's girlfriend, "Ellie Walker") sings "Away In A Manger" -- with guitar and vocal accompaniment from Andy. As the song progresses, the camera begins panning around the Courthouse and eventually pans to an outside window in one of the jail's cells -- and who's standing there behind the barred window? -- Ben Weaver, who sings right along with Andy and Ellie. A great, great scene.

Here's an interesting side note regarding the recording of that Christmas song for this episode ...... Elinor Donahue was evidently as nervous as a cat when it came time to pre-record the song for the show. Andy Griffith asked her to sit down on the floor of the recording studio because he could see she was nervous. They both sat on the floor in the middle of the studio, while Andy played his guitar and hummed along, telling Elinor she should start singing whenever she felt ready. So, whenever you're watching this Christmas episode, remember that Andy and Ellie were really sitting on the floor of a recording studio when they were singing "Away In A Manger".

"Christmas Story" was just the 10th episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" ever to air, first broadcast on CBS-TV on Monday night, December 19, 1960. The episode was directed by Bob Sweeney and written (expertly to say the least) by David Adler.

If this episode of "T.A.G.S." doesn't give you the "warm & fuzzies" all over, then I don't know what will. It's a program that begs to be re-visited each and every December 24th! ... Read more

This sitcom anthology introduces viewers to the wacky world of the Partridge Family, the best-loved band of 1970s television. Widowed mom Shirley (Shirley Jones) agrees to quit her bank job and join her five musical kids in the show pilot "What? And Get Out of Show Business?" The band's optimistic harmony and catchy, bubble-gum spirit is introduced to Hollywood (and television viewers around the world) by none other than Johnny Cash. Although a bit rough around the edges, this first episode introduces teen idol Keith (David Cassidy), socially conscious Laurie (Susan Dey), and their manipulative preteen brother Danny (Danny Bonaduce), the capitalist mastermind who brings their garage recordings to reluctant record executive Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden). Cute kids Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks) and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) round out the history-making ensemble.

Future stars often passed through The Partridge Family, as witnessed in "Old Scrapmouth," an episode featuring a young Mark Hamill as Laurie's would-be suitor. Her love life, and a national TV spot for the band, is thrown into mayhem by a dentist's pronouncement that she needs braces. Rounding out the video is the show's final episode, "Anchors Aweigh." The suburban singing family seem slightly more mature, and quite a bit shaggier. George Chakiris (West Side Story's Bernardo) drops anchor and sweeps Shirley off her feet as a returning naval hero. But what Keith and Laurie try to bring together, can Danny tear asunder? The episode features Keith strutting out the funky number "Rollercoaster," and healthy helpings of poignant, poppy Partridge splendor. --Grant Balfour ... Read more

Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque
You just can't beat the Partridge Family. The lovable singing family was a big hit back in the 70's giving us teen idol David Cassidy as Keith. But, my favorite character was the irrascible Danny Bonaduce. Of course Shirley would have had to have several husbands to give birth to such a diverse group of kids. And, Chris made a remarkable transformation during the run of the show, but one brushed aside such matters and waited for the next great song as they went from concert to concert in their Mondrian-inspired bus. Kincaid was alot of fun as their manager. He and Danny played well off each other. I never could see the appeal in Susan Dey, but you get to see her in the spring of youth before going on to do such shows as LA Law. If ever there was a series crying out for a box set of DVD's or a Hollywood remake this is it.

"The Partridge Family Is The Best TV Show Ever!"
I liked "The Partridge Family Video Collection". The first three episodes are hilarious! In "What? And Get Out Of Show Business?",we see Shirley Partridge(Shirley Jones) as a mom to her five kids: 16-year-old Keith(David Cassidy),15-year-old Laurie(Susan Dey),10-year-old Danny(Danny Bonaduce),7-year-old Chris(Jeremy Gelbwaks) and 5-year-old Tracy(Suzanne Crough). They get a manager named Reuben Kincaid(David Madden) to help out.

In "Old Srapmouth" Laurie is convinced that she has to wear braces for six months. Mark Hamill of "The Star Wars Trilogy" guest stars as Lauries friend,Jerry.

And in "Anchors Aweigh",the last episode in the series,Shirley's boyfriend Chuck "Cuddles" Corwin(George Chakiris)drops by to meet Shirley,but Keith and Danny follow them on their date.

Partridge fact: The two theme songs you hear are both written by Wes Farrell: "When We're Singin'" was put in the series first season and "Come On,Get Happy" was put in the 2nd-4th season. The song "Together"("Havin' A Ball") was put in the credits in the pilot episode.

"The Beginning Of The Partridge Family"
In "What? And Get Out Of Showbusiness?",we see how this 4-year adventure starts. There's 16-year-old Keith (David Cassidy),15-year-old Laurie(Susan Dey),10-year-old Danny (Danny Bonaduce),7-year-old Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks),and 5-year-old Tracy (Suzanne Crough).Their mom (Shirley Jones) joins the band,along with manager Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden).

In "Old Scrapmouth",Laurie gets braces,and doesn't want to talk or sing when the family goes on a TV show. Mark Hamill ("Star Wars") guest stars as Jerry.

And in "Anchors Aweigh",Shirley meets up with "Captain Cuddles", but Keith and Danny get suspicious about their mom going out. This was the shows final episode,which aired August 31,1974. The pilot episode debuted September 25,1970. The theme songs are "When We're Singin'" and "Come On,Get Happy". In the pilot episode,the theme song is "Together"("Havin' A Ball").

These are great episodes for the whole family to enjoy!

"The Partridge Family Is GROOOOOOOOOOVY!"
"The Partridge Family" debuted on ABC on September 25,1970. It featured Shirley Jones as Shirley Partridge,David Cassidy as Keith,Susan Dey as Lauren "Laurie" Partridge, Danny Bonaduce as Daniel "Danny" Partridge,Jeremy Gelbwaks & Brian Forster as Christopher "Chris" Partridge,Suzanne Crough as Tracy Partridge,and Dave Madden as Reuben Kincaid.

I like both theme songs,but in the pilot episode "What? And Get Out Of Showbusiness?" the theme song was "tOGETHEr"("Havin' A Ball")

I suggest you add this to your collection,so you can celebrate "The Partridge Family" over and over again!

VERY FUN TO WATCH AGAIN --
Although it would have been wonderful to have a cast member or two introduce and narrate these three videos, in their original form, they are plenty entertaining on their own. The first episode, which is actually quite funny, features two songs that have never been on any Partridge recording, and do not feature David Cassidy's voice. LET THE GOOD TIMES IN actually could have been a hit all on its own, and TOGETHER re-appeared a few times in the first season.

Up next is the classic episode revolving around Laurie's braces, and features an adorably young Mark Hamill, the boy would be Luke Skywalker. Again a mellow tune never on a Partridge album (Love Song) is the musical moment in this episode.

It is fun to watch the evolution of all cast members with the final episode of the final season. This episode features ROLLER COASTER, from the final studio album (Bulletin Board) by the musicians and vocalists who were The Partridge Family. The TV show really did have an acerbic wit at times, and the warm presence of Shirley Jones was a major asset. If you loved it then, you'll smile now -- and I think kids of any era would enjoy it on its own terms. ... Read more

Seven alone is an awesome family movie
My 11 year old son heard the story read to him in school and they watched most of the movie, when I happened to find it for rent at a local family bookstore, I brought it home, it's one i would definately add to the family collection. It doesn't get more real than this if you're interested in Oregon Trail stories.

A good teaching tool
I used this film to illustrate the dangers of the Oregon Trail to my 8th grade history students. It is an interesting dramatization of the perils of traveling the Oregon Trail. The film does an excellent job of portraying the journey on the trail. It is very entertaining and kept my students interested.

Unfortunately, the film sugarcoats the reality of the result of the Sager's journey. Two of the Sager boys were massacred with the Whitmans instead of going on to a homestead in Oregon, as the film implies. The girls were adopted out.

Seven Alone
This is a true story about seven children who lose their parents while enroute to Oregon in 1843. Their eldest son manages to to complete the trip and fulfill their parent's dream. The movie does take some liberties with the real story such as the death of Henry Saget. In reality he was killed by a buffalo stampede and not a knive wound. It is unfortunate that MickeyTo in Toronto isn't familiar with American history. More information on this true story can be found by researching information on the Oregon Trail.

The musical score to Seven Alone was first rate!
As a family film, Seven Alone provided every element required by a discriminating viewer. I would argue, as a lover of exceptional film scores and a collector of soundtracks, that this film is greatly enhanced by the truly beautiful music of Robert O. Ragland. I give the film an A+ because of the impact the music contributes to it.

The most musical family on TV piles into their kaleidoscopic tour busand coasts across the soundscape of the 1970s once again in these three star-studded episodes. In "Knight in Shining Armor," dreamy teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman invades the Partridges' garage studio with a sound all his own. His quest for the right lyricist leads the crew to a sweet but offbeat hero in this surprisingly heartwarming story--which led to its own spinoff, the short-lived Getting Together. Next, the family raises a stink in a high-society hotel after the bus is visited by a nosy skunk in "But the Memory Lingers On." The comedy of manners and musk is played out to the strains of their first hit single, "I Think I Love You." And finally, in "The Eleven Year Itch," Danny plunges into the perplexities and pitfalls of puppy love with a preteen Jodie Foster. He's coached by Keith, but gets solid pointers from a macho Bert Convy...as he makes his own moves on Danny's mom! Guaranteed nostalgic fun for fans of the silly, sexy '70s. --Grant Balfour ...

"The Partridge Family Strikes Agaia"
The Partridges are back in three great episodes. In "A Knight In Shining Armor",teen idol Bobby Sherman drops by to greet the Partridges in this season finale in the 1st season which marked Jeremy Gelbwaks' final appearance as Chris.

"But The Memory Lingers On" has the Partridges encountered by a skunk. One of Danny Bonaduce's favorites.And in "The Eleven Year Old Itch",Danny has a crush on Julie (played by former kid actress Jodie Foster).This set of episodes is for any Partridge fan in the family.

Caution:Nervous Mother Driving
I just wanted to write a quick note to advise anyone buying this video looking for the episode featuring "I Think I Love You". There were apparently 2 episodes with this song. This episode has the song playing while the dog chases a skunk. The episode I was looking for had to do with women's lib where the woman Keith was interested in was offended that the family would singthe song. ... Read more
