Dads, Simon, Thirty, Aliens, Redneck And Explosive

When 12-year old Nicole’s mother passes away, the judge assigns her to the care of two quarreling friends-one of which may be her biological father.


The two roommates have their hands full dealing with a growing girl, soon to be a teenager. Through in the mix a crusty older man who runs the local cafe, (Dick Butkus), a female judge who checks in on the family from time to time and two teenage boys who vie for Nicole’s attention and you have a family-friendly, frenetic and fun sitcom from the 1980s. Part of TV Flash Backs from Mill Creek Entertainment, My Two Dads features 10 episodes of the hilarious comedy.


Another TV Flash Backs collection includes the critically acclaimed drama series Thirtysomething. Although I did not watch the show when it aired in the 1980s, a number of my friends did and they all loved. Centered on a group of baby boomers, Thirtysomething follows the group of friends as they cope with marriage, divorce, sickness, jobs, family and friends. Think of it as serious and well-written predecessor to Friends. Season One, Volume One includes 10 episodes.


My second favorite 1980s TV show (my first is Magnum PI) is Simon And Simon. The show follows the misadventures of private detectives Rick and AJ Simon as they struggle to keep their PI service above water while dealing with each other. Rick, the tough as nails, western gear wearing, older brother and his uptight, by the book, fashionable younger brother AJ, are constantly at odds with each other, their mother, their associates and friends.


They are also first-rate private detectives and they always manage to solve every crime they're assigned to solve-only trouble is they tend to come a little worse for wear and not always financially better off. The Best Of Season Two includes 10 episodes.


For A Paranormal Documentary Collection like no other be sure to check out the Six Documentary Set called Aliens, Abductions & Extraordinary Sightings from Mill Creek. Filled with film clips and photos and eye-witness accounts the DVD set raises a number of questions and lots of speculation. Are aliens real and have they visited earth? You decide.


Redneck Comedy Roundtup 1 & 2 features the hottest comedy talent seen on the Blue Collar Comedy Tor hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, John Fox and others. It’s side-splitting country humor that will leave you laughing. Don’t miss it.


Do you like action? Do you crave the sound of guns firing, explosions and lots of violence? Then Explosive Cinema is the DVD collection for you. Twelve movies make up the set starring such big names as John Carradine, Leslie Nielsen, Cameron Mitchell and other gun-totting, take no prisoners super tough guys that take no guff from anyone-especially criminals. It’s all-out action and from this 1960s to the 1990s movie collection. It’s 14 hours of pure cinema mayhem!
