The Unfiltered Ramblings of a DVR Addict

TVontheDVD- December 29th

It’s a shame that some of these TVontheDVD releases weren’t put out before the holidays.  Seems like a golden oppertunity was missed.

Glee, Vol. One: Road to Sectionals- What a great show.  The extras on this one are awesome.  No blu-ray?  Boo!
Spaceballs: The Animated Spoof- I didn’t even know this existed until right now.
United States of [...]

New Jersey Lawmakers Ask MTV to Cancel Jersey Shore

While they didn’t have a problem with The Sopranos, New Jersey lawmakers do have a problem with MTV’s hit reality show Jersey Shore.  The New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus calls the show “wildly offensive” and says it promotes derogatory ethnic stereotypes.
The complaint is just one of many that MTV and it’s parent company Viacom [...]

Mad Med Season 3 DVD Cover

Just saw the cover of the DVD for the 3rd season of Mad Men.  How cool is this?  It won’t be out until March 23rd, but the cover art is almost reason enough to own it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All My Male Readers!

JoeOnTheTube.com DVD Reviews- Extract

I was upset I missed Extract when it was in the theatres.  It wasn’t hard to miss since it wasn’t there long, but the same was true with Office Space and Idiocracy, Mike Judge’s other two feature films.  I bear the distinct honor of being the only person I know who actually saw Office Space [...]

Ken Tuckers Best and Worst of TV 2009

Ken Tucker is the TV critic I most admire, and most envy.  He has two great jobs.  He is the TV critic and editor-at-large for Entertainment Weekly plus he is the rock critic for one of the greatest radio programs ever, Fresh Air with Terry Gross.  This week he’s released his best and worst of [...]

TVontheDVD- December 22nd

It’s a slow week.  My guess is that most people have gotten their Christmas shoping done at this point so that is why there are fewer releases.

Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side
Family Guy Presents: Something Something Something Dark Side [Blu-ray]- Nice to see this title in Blu-Ray.  This is the sequel to Blue [...]

G-Force

Recently released on Disney Blu-Ray and DVD was Jerry Bruckheimer’s G-Force.  This movie is an animated action film, full of explosions and chase scenes.  The “secret agent” aspect of a group of FBI-trained guinea pigs was a little over my kids’ heads, but they were fairly entertained by the constant action.  The photo-realistic rodents on [...]
