Kathy Griffin: Seaman 1st Class

Very funny!!!
Loved it and of course she is very funny. It runs 35 minutes 50 seconds, but there are some jokes that are cut out: Anna Nicole reference and her encore jokes, which you don't get to hear. That was disappointing. Other than those things, Griffin's material is great!

Griffin Raises Celebrity Skewering to a Hilarious Art Form
Kathy Griffin's reality series, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List, is a genuinely entertaining look into her life as a second-tier celebrity, but her hilariously scabrous stand-up routines are really where she shines as a performer. Available on Amazon Unbox Video Downloads are five of her Bravo TV specials. Running around forty minutes each without commercials, they show Griffin at her unapologetic best mocking overexposed celebrities. Fully aware of the safety zone for her material, she is a masterful storyteller when it comes to embellishing her encounters with celebrities ripe for ridicule, but her humor is rarely offensive to the point of cruelty. In fact, it is her approval-seeking desire to make the A-List that allows her to get away with much of her potentially libelous material.

Her barbs cover well-trodden territory but from a perspective that relates easily to her audience of fellow...

Hilarious
This is an excellent value for Miss Griffin fans! Multiple episodes available that cover a wide range of time, so you get to see her evolution as a stand-up comedian slash commentator.

Swing Dance Lessons on DVD Vol 1 & 2 (Two Disc Set Instructional Swing Dance DVDs)

Fun!
By far a very simple way to learn some, at first glance, pretty complex moves that have totally made it easier for me to lead as a guy on swing night. My first time going, I just kept on going back to the same moves over and over again, which was fun, but got boring after a while. This DVD helped me to broaden my horizon on moves that I can do with my partner and spend a lot less time standing and wondering, "Which move should I do next?" and "How do we do that one move?" Easy to follow and motivating!

Great Intro to Swing Dancing
If you've ever wanted to learn how to country swing dance, this DVD set is the perfect place for beginners. Jared starts off slow, introducing the basic steps, and slowly picks up the pace. By the end you will be able to do more complex moves, combinations, and several dips. While you won't learn any advanced lifts with these DVDs, this is definitely a great place to start. I've been country swing dancing for 6+ years and have owned several "Learn to Country Swing Dance" DVDs over the years (including a previous version made by Jared) - this one is by far the most in depth, and best put-together (production-wise) dance DVD I've used.

Ticket to swing stardom!
If you wanna learn the easy way, I think these DVDs are perfect. Jared teaches a wide range of dance steps and moves, so you won't get bored if you're experienced and you won't be out of your league if you're a beginner! The instructions are clear and easy, the background setting fun, and the format is perfect for an instructional DVD. Highly recommended!

Police State [HD]

Season Two is Better Than Season One
Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura from Season 2 is an awesome show that brings up good points of what our government does from the shadows. I cannot wait for season four.

New stuff here
Liked this one. Jesse had on E. Howard Hunt's son, Hunt was one of the spooks who burglarized Watergate for Nixon. Jesse finds out that the burglars were looking for secret docs on the Kennedy assassination.

The best part was E. Howard Hunt's recorded death bed confession where he stated he was part of the "Event," which he claimed was the government take down of JFK.

Great episode. In fact, it is probably the best episode in the series. See it.

intereting but...
Pretty interesting but could be nothing more than smart business practice. I would imagine insurance is cheaper for underground warehouses.

Line Dance Lessons on DVD Vol 1 & 2 (Two Disc Set, Line Dance Instructional DVDs)

Great Video
This line dance DVD is great. If you want to learn a good variety of dances I think this is a good way to go. I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth. The line dance instruction was good. For me personally I probably would have had them go a little slower, but it was a great pace for my wife. I do understand that they accommodated for this with the whole thing of making each section of steps a chapter in the dvd so i could skip back and do those steps over again, and I actually used it, but my wife was usually ready to move on before I was, so I just thought I would mention it... The thing I liked the most is that you get to practice the dances. Doing all of them back to back at the end of the DVD is really fun.

Super fun!
I am a new country dancing addict and and the first time or two that I went, I was always envious of the fun line dances that the other guys and gals were doing. They looked fun and I wanted to participate! I jumped in and tryed to learn the steps as I went, which is basically impossible. So, I got these DVDs, both the line dancing and the swing dancing, and now it is a lot easier to keep up with the other people doing the line dances. The video is really clear and easy to follow and made me want to put on a pair of boots and go again!

Can't Recommend Anything Better
Only line danced once before. Went through this video with my family and absolutely loved it. Great fun, easy to follow, plus it's a good work-out. If you're looking to learn some great line dances, I can't recommend anything better.

Avengers Assemble! [HD]

The second season got off to a slow start...
...but it's starting to improve. (Although the new opening for each episode sounds like it's aimed at 8-year olds, and I see that the PC forces have converted Thor from the "God of Thunder", to the "Prince of Thunder".) In any event, the stories are starting to become more mature and more complex again. I hope this indicates a trend toward matching the quality of season one.

Reminiscent of 1990s Batman
Espisode 2x19 "Code Red" is reminiscent of 1990s Batman, with a plot based on political intrigue and duplicitous villains. It has the rare effect of making me wish the episode lasted longer. Generally "Mightiest Heroes" has consisted of very short stories, even in its two-parters and long arcs, but "Code Red" seems to cry out for 10 more minutes of exposition.

But that's a good thing, a glowing result, in fact. This cartoon offers up good action and plot, and leaves me wanting just a little more. Kind of the perfect recipe.

Season 2 just got better.
Season 2 is still more of an all-ages show, watered down from Season 1, but things just got better with episode 17. Now we're back to just a hint of maturity and layered characters. I think this episode has the first use of the word "die" so far in this season.

Still, it's not quite as violent and sharply toned as Season 1. Remember, Season 1 had the theme song starting with the lyric "The world's about to break." The episodes made good on that promise with things like Banner defending the Hulk's heroism and Ant Man hating Stark's guts. Season 1 was about as mature as "Batman Beyond," where season 2 is closer to Justice League or The Batman.

Operation Rich in Spirit

Another Great Episode of Robot Chicken
I bought this while traveling and streamed it to the computer. This is another great episode of robot chicken with one of the best Clown Car Crash scenes I have ever watched. Well worth the purchase and has led others into the Robot Chicken show via watching this one episode. I would recommend this to others as well as Amazons video viewing services. I am very pleased with these capabilities.

just plain funny
They poke fun at the people that need it most ...you know the kind the ones that think the rules just don't apply to them

It's Robot Chicken
How does one review Robot Chicken? It's pretty much the perfect show for a guy staring forty in the face and still refusing to give up his cartoons or action figure collecting. It's bawdy, it's quick, and it makes inside jokes for those of us who bask in the joy of refusing to get old and boring.

Also, if you have ever liked an actor who is working now, Seth Green has probably gotten them to come make fun of themselves and/or the characters they have played. For me, the insanely long list of A-listers who have a sense of humor about themselves reads like a list of actors that have earned my money in their future endeavors.

The Estate of Andy Warhol

Very Interesting
I thought the episodes were very interesting and my interest continued throughout the video. No dull moments. I got the truth on exactly what happened after Rock Hudson died. There are things you think happened that didn't, while other things happened and are a surprise. Definitely worth watching. I'm going to watch more of The Will - Family Secrets Revealed Episodes.

Interesting
This show is very interesting in that it focuses on how the wishes of those who have passed away are rarely followed to the letter despite even the most careful preparation. It also shows how families are torn apart when greed and unfairness motivates people to behave in unscrupulous ways.

Art Hadley Estate - Dramatic!
Art Hadley Estate debacle shown on "The Will" is a story of suspense and drama from start to finish. How an attorney managed to win Hadley's blood line some of his estate that was all about to fall into the hands of two strangers, is brilliant.
