RavenGlamDVDCollector's DVD Inventory (2) TV Series

Five seasons.

#1, 2008 - 2009, 24 ep. #2, 2009 - 2010, 22 ep. #3, 2010 - 2011, 22 ep. #4, 2011 - 2012, 24 ep. #5, 2012 - 2013, 22 ep.

There are three standout actresses, and not one of them is the supposed lead. AnnaLynne McCord is unforgettable as Naomi Clark, love her or hate her; there is Gillian Zinser, a late addition who didn't stay on all the way; and Jessica Lowndes, whose character Aide is loathed and despised for all her many unforgivable sins, but people! Jessica is so wondrous! And then there is the cast of male misfits that quickly went to pot as heap big parasites, Navid yuck! Dixon yuck! Those two should have been dropped. As for you lot nattering on about Jessica Stroup, once Silver climbs on her little moped, donning that helmet, she is cut out as an old spinster aunt personified, and the great memories* of her in #1 quickly fade. And as for 'headgirl' Shenae Grimes, brow piercing, cautionary alert, enough said. *as for Jessica Stroup, she was wunnerful wunnerful wunnerful in #1 but came back blahhh afterwards, they should've chased her home!

Fickle characters who lose interest in what they are doing, we're supposed to watch? Yeah, watch them jump onto the next bandwagon for the next story arc quickly fading into oblivion. But watch we do, for those girls...

One season only.

#1, 1993 - 1994, 22 ep.

Catherine Oxenberg's European class and Holly Floria's absolute cuteness and Alison Armitage in a bikini... So much better than BAYWATCH!

One season only, a belated sequel.

#1, 1998, 26 ep.

Unwatched as yet.

Five seasons.

#1, 1999 - 2000, 22 ep. #2, 2000 - 2001, 22 ep. #3, 2001 - 2002, 22 ep. #4, 2002 - 2003, 22 ep. #5, 2003 - 2004, 22 ep.

You start off with BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and then you throw this in midway, and you could just sit back and forget about everything else, especially the episodes that are in sync with the happenings on BTVS. By the final season, it outlives the original, and you just wanna hold on to Joss Whedon's masterwork. Be warned, it ends on a cliffhanger, which can never be resolved.

********** 10/10

Original. With Jane Seymour in the first five episodes. Actually, a three-parter and a two-parter. Maren Jensen is there as well to keep the Glam fires burning. But Jane shouldn't have left! Later on, Anne Lockhart.

1978 - 1979, 24 ep.

A spectacular space saga that makes your heart feel proud, even if your brain tells you what a fool you are. Certainly has wonderful moments, who cares about the many mistakes?

Eleven seasons. I have them all, but there is a mixup. I think I have twelve sets.

#1, 1989 - 1990, 22 ep. (with Erika Eleniak) #2, 1991 - 1992, 22 ep. (still with Erika Eleniak) #3, 1992 - 1993, 22 ep. (with Pamela Anderson, Nicole Eggert) #4, 1993 - 1994, 22 ep. (Yasmine Bleeth is there as well now) #5, 1994 - 1995, 22 ep. (no sign of Nicole Eggert anymore) #6, 1995 - 1996, 22 ep. (Gena Lee Nolan is there) #7, 1996 - 1997, 22 ep. (Donna D'Errico is there) #8, 1997 - 1998, 22 ep. #9, 1998 - 1999, 22 ep. #10 (as BAYWATCH HAWAII), 1999 - 2000, 22 ep. #11 (as BAYWATCH HAWAII), 2000 - 2001, 22 ep. Noteable guest star: Elizabeth Berkley, #3

Complicated, needs further research. I have an Australian set that has lost track of the fact that what they think is Season 1 is in fact Season 2, I have a South African set for Season 1, and then there is a whole lot of sets from Germany. How much I've actually got is beyond me to say right now. There are nine 'normal' seasons + two of BAYWATCH HAWAII, and this I consider to be a single TV Series of eleven seasons. BAYWATCH NIGHTS, however, is something else. Both literally and figuratively.

BAYWATCH, what needs to be said? Just about everybody knows it's sand, sea, sun, surf, and bikinis of the stringy variety. It's the show that made Playboy's Pamela Anderson a household name. It is unfortunately also known for storylines scantier than the girls' bathing costumes, and some of these are quite schmaltzy to an embarrassing degree, almost, but not quite, as bad as David Hasselhoff's acting ability. There are boats, and trucks, and helicopters, and there are sun-bronzed bodies galore! Never a dull moment, but it helps if you have a prowling eye that can stomach truly meagre scripts.

Two seasons.

#1, 1995 - 1996, 22 ep. #2, 1996 - 1997, 22 ep.

Lisa Stahl is there for the first ten episodes, even if she is, in true BAYWATCH style, a credit only. After a promising appearance on BAYWATCH as a cute kooky character, she is a major, major disappointment in BAYWATCH NIGHTS, so when she is replaced by Donna D'Errico in the eleventh episode, the series gets a much-needed injection. Donna is mostly AWOL as well, and disappears long before the final episodes. The series was a bad idea from the start, and once they start getting paranormal, you can but shake your head at the dreck that is tossed at you. Stalwart little trooper Angie Harmon soldiers on through badder than bad scripts, your heart has to bleed for the kid. David Hasselhoff should have attended acting class besides relying on charisma and charm. The other goofball lot shouldn't even be mentioned. The whole thing is generally beneath contempt, and as far as 'Baywatch' in the title goes, it is not even nearly hot. Except for Donna, but one swallow do never a summer make, and her acting skills pale in comparison to her blondness. BAYWATCH is better, as long as you are in the mood for sun, sea and surf (and bikinis) but this thing tries to be a horror, utilizing unlikely props. It might scare little toddlers, so keep them away. Little boys (of whatever age) would laugh at the silly setups while surreptitiously getting their jollies from the Playboy Playmate of the Year. If she is in that episode...

Three seasons, one complete boxset.

A total of 56 episodes.

My boxset was all but cast aside when one of the episodes, the word 'ashes' in the title, didn't play properly. The series suffers from a poor choice in the casting of Catherine, she is totally dull and uninteresting*, as is the entire set-up, while their beast is absolutely 100% what the show needed. Hasn't stood the test of time at all, needed a remake, and got it.

*Had legions of fans, but perhaps because strong-willed female characters were few and far at that time? I repeat, duller than ditchwater.

Two seasons, out of four.

#1, 2012 - 2013, 22 ep. #2, 2013 - 2014, 22 ep. Notable story arc actresses: Bridget Regan, #1, Amber Skye Noyes, #2 (further acquisition on hold, as rest looks bleak)

Series kicks off well, but quickly lost its appeal to me. It sort of broke down for me when story-arc actress Bridget Regan left, and Catherine was shot. I sorely missed Bridget, and from there on, never the same. I do wholeheartedly support the whole idea, but better characters (Evan) kept getting written out of the show, to be replaced by mediocre ones. Sandihl Ramamurthy was the worst thing that could have happened to an already failing series. I elected to buy #2 because my research showed Amber Skye Noyes to be a viable prospect to bring some life back into the show, but was dismayed that she didn't really become regular cast. While that Asian guy lingers and lingers. I do not like stopping with a show I've started out with, but there's no use cheering for this losing team. Somebody dropped the ball here. Big time. This should have been a hit.

Four seasons.

#1, 2009, 13 ep. #2, 2009, 12 ep. #3, 2010, 13 ep. #4, 2011, 11 ep.

Currently watching #3. It has ups and downs. Overall it just barely qualifies for my collection - after all, it was the #1 box cover that drew me in. I have fond memories of the so-called Super Gay Episode, the first one with Anna Silk, it inspired me to do a contribution for Wikipedia, I learned how, and was a bit more clever afterwards. The show itself suffers from having to convince us that she is really back in her teenage years despite her obviously being +/- 32. Tall order playing against tough adversary Father Time.

Ten seasons.

#1, 1990 - 1991, 22 ep. #2, 1991 - 1992, 22 ep. #3, 1992 - 1993, 30 ep. #4, 1993 - 1994, 32 ep. #5, 1994 - 1995, 32 ep. #6, 1995 - 1996, 32 ep. #7, 1996 - 1997, 32 ep. #8, 1997 - 1998, 32 ep. #9, 1998 - 1999, 22 ep. #10, 1999 - 2000, 27 ep. Most valuable story arc actress: Rebecca Gayheart, #6. Noteable guest stars: Traci Middendorf, #4, Brooke Theiss, #4 and #6, Jessica Alba (disappointing), #4, and memorably delightful, Cathy Podewell, as the little scoundrel escaping through the bathroom window, #3.

When a series starts living on way beyond its tenure, the characters grow old and boring. They were hardly kids at the onset, and aging causes problems. Brandon becomes a bummer just to behold, and the series goes through a considerable dry spell, during which it is periodically livened up by Rebecca Gayheart, Vanessa Marcil and Hilary Swank, but the good ol' Kelly Taylor days with hot youngster Jennie Garth are only in the first seasons as she becomes an 'old lady' (meant sarcastically) way too soon.

It scrapes through as something you are better off for having seen, but if you ever have to go there again, only the first couple seasons, please!

Three seasons.

#1, 2014, 13 ep. #2, 2015, 10 ep. #3, 2016, 10 ep.

Got five words to say about this. LAU RA VAN DER VOORT. ¿Comprende?

Two seasons, out of five. The Shout! boxset.

#1, 1990 - 1991, 14 ep. #2, 1991 - 1992, 24 ep. Notable guest star: Kelly Packard, pre-CALIFORNIA DREAMS. Twice. As the same ditzy character. Steals the show. Who wanna watch Mayim after that?

Seven seasons.

#1, 1997, 13 ep. #2, 1997 - 1998, 22 ep. #3, 1998 - 1999, 22 ep. #4, 1999 - 2000, 22 ep. #5, 2000 - 2001, 22 ep. #6, 2001 - 2002, 22 ep. #7, 2002 - 2003, 22 ep.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is my favorite piece of film of all time and all media. It beats the pants off virtually anything movies have to offer. And like I said in my review, these people are like friends in your home. A caveat to you uninitiated out there, you will need the series ANGEL as well, and they have to be synchronized, #4 of this to #1 of that, it's intricate, but you'll figure it out. Buy it, hire it, beg it, pirate it, borrow it, or steal it, but do get it! Thank me later for the best advice!

********** 10/10

Two seasons, the Shout! boxset pictured here. There are more, but they're not available.

#1, 1992, 13 ep. #2, 1993 - 1994, 18 ep. Notable guest star: Brooke Langton, #1, and a special mention to Brittney Powell, #1 (thrice)

Young kiddies' show, with attractive teenagers. Yum. Cringeworthy lyrics kick it off. I wanna barf. Leggy teenager comes ambling by, hell, this is a junior little unofficial BAYWATCH (at times) but old guys will feel like a fool for watching (I know I do) (sigh)...

Seven outrageous seasons.

#1, 2007, 12 ep. #2, 2008, 12 ep. #3, 2009, 12 ep. #4, 2011, 12 ep. #5, 2012, 12 ep. #6, 2013, 12 ep. #7, 2014, 12 ep.

Pretty soon I should be settling in for the seventh season, that is the big goodbye. It is very high up on my list of favorite film, and I'd say about second on my TV list. There is nothing else like this on television, and I doubt there would ever be.

********** 10/10

One season.

#1, 2008, 7 ep.

Lucy Liu is a very, very big mistake. Did anybody else see how avaricious she is to the core? Romantic heroine Lucy Liu just doesn't work. Questionable in CHARLIE'S ANGELS, hopeless here.

Addison Timlin was the best thing about the series! She, and that girl who played the babysitter, Anna Camp, in the pilot episode. The main cast could never cut it.

No, I've only got the thingie of which the image is currently displayed here, "Cavegirl Rocks", which has seven episodes from the First Season. Meaning no complete seasons, explaining the blank space following next.





Pity. It's, in its small way, kinda cute.

Five seasons. I bought the first four separately, and scoured in vain for the fifth. Clever gimmick to bring out the complete boxset while #5 wasn't available on its own. Very astute marketing trick. What else could I do? First four seasons separate, then the complete boxset.

#1, 1976 - 1977, 23 ep. #2, 1977 - 1978, 24 ep. #3, 1978 - 1979, 22 ep. #4, 1979 - 1980, 25 ep. #5, 1980 - 1981, 16 ep.

The show that brought you Farrah Fawcett-Majors! Oh, and even though it is dated material, especially with the hairstyles of some characters, it has heart, a lot more heart than those testosterone-driven monstrosities of the early 2000s with the (mostly) bad casting.

Haven't touched the boxset yet, so haven't seen #5.

One season only.

#1, 2011, 8 ep.

Dropped like a hot potato by the studios/network.

Haven't watched it yet. Fully expect I'm gonna like it, and then I will post a rant about you ungrateful Americans!

Eight seasons, compiled in one big black square boxset adorned by the symbol.

#1, 1998 - 1999, 22 ep. #2, 1999 - 2000, 22 ep. #3, 2000 - 2001, 22 ep. #4, 2001 - 2002, 22 ep. #5, 2002 - 2003, 23 ep. #6, 2003 - 2004, 23 ep. #7, 2004 - 2005, 22 ep. #8, 2005 - 2006, 22 ep. Noteable story arc actress: Marnette Patterson, #8

CHARMED suffers from having a mean streak in its Grrl Power approach, which makes the characters far less likable from this reviewer's point of view. In short, they're the types who demand being treated with respect (nothing wrong there) without treating others with respect (there lies the rub) and this escalates throughout the series. I have strong negative feelings about it as a whole. I was relieved when I came to the last season, finally, wow, rid of them!

WTF is this doing here? On a technicality only! The double episode "Ponch's Angels" in #4, also the Susan Severeid "Sharks" episode. Stumbled across those by chance years ago. That Townsend girl on the motorcycle. Cute, cute, innocent stuff. Had to obtain. Remains an odd thing for me to even have.

#4, 1980 - 1981, 21 ep.

There is no chance that I'd buy the other seasons.

Five seasons.

#1, 2007 - 2008, 13 ep. #2, 2008 - 2009, 22 ep. #3, 2010, 19 ep. #4, 2011, 24 ep. #5, 2011 - 2012, 13 ep.

One season, there are two. And, no, not the TV movie.

#1, 2012, 10 ep.

Jennifer Love Hewitt. From child star in PARTY OF FIVE, now a Mom. Didn't go down as well with me as I thought it would, despite massage parlor business. And #2 is multi expensive, so...

Five seasons. Well, the girl is in two of my most favorite movies, COYOTE UGLY and LOST AND DELIRIOUS.

#1, 2010, 11 ep. #2, 2011, 16 ep. #3, 2012, 16 ep. #4, 2013, 16 ep. #5, 2014, 16 ep.

Attempt to obtain #2 failed recently when UK version went out of stock. And US version is much more expensive. I should have bought this two years ago when they were available locally.

After stalling for a long time, was finally galvanized into action by the trailer of #2. Piper Perabo about a decade after COYOTE UGLY looking every bit as stunning - the girl is awesome!

Three of the fourteen seasons, overlooked, as I don't quite know what to do with them.

#12 and #13 was bought for Cathy Podewell as Cally Harper Ewing, and then my attention shifted. I have no intention to start watching anything halfway into the story. Today #9 was added, for Deborah Shelton, as Mandy Winger, at last.

#9, 1985 - 1986, 31 ep. #12, 1988 - 1989, 26 ep. #13, 1989 - 1990, 27 ep.

There has been a notion to obtain #1, but I have kept putting it off. There is currently, 2016/08/17, 6:59:15 PM, a rekindling of the drive to obtain #9 and #10 for Deborah Shelton as Mandy Winger, but the Available List is filled with potential candidates. {research brought to light that Cathy Podewell is also in #14, the final season, albeit for 10 episodes only. And then there is Beth Toussaint, the SAVANNAH star, this will cause other seasons to be purchased as well... eventually... 2016/08/17, 7:40:04 PM} {#9 was received today, Mandy Winger! 2017/01/23, 8:06:00 PM}

Two seasons.

#1, 2000 - 2001, 22 ep. #2, 2001 - 2002, 21 ep.

Ends on a cliff-hanging note.

One complete boxset.

#1, 1991, 4 ep. #2, 1992, 4 ep. #3, 1993, 3 ep. {episodes are double-length two-parters, except the two last ones of the first two seasons}

Was my introduction to Catherine Zeta-Jones. Took me a while to get to buying it on DVD, only received it yesterday.

Two seasons.

#1, 2009, 13 ep. #2, 2009 - 2010, 13 ep.

Boxset, complete, both seasons. #1, 2012, 7 ep. #2, 2012 - 2013, 19 ep. {actually, this refers to the way they were first televised, there are 11 episodes in the First Season, 15 in the Second}

Unwatched as yet, sounds comically promising, and I'm a Krysten Ritter fan ever since having seen her in CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC, and fueled by VAMPS.

{currently watching, and it's the hit of the New Year! Krysten Ritter is superb magnificent fantastic! 2017/01/12, 8:38:07 PM}

Two seasons, can't find the rest.
