The Man-Trap | |
Blaine: Odd trivia surrounding this one. The second and final movie directed by Edmond O’Brien, who did a great job on the original D.O.A.. It stars Jeffrey Hunter, who played Captain Christopher Pike in the original Star Trek pilot episode. He was the only actor the network wanted to keep, but he left to pursue a movie career. The first episode of Star Trek to reach actual broadcast? “The Man Trap.” | |

Blaine: I have fond memories of this series from my childhood, and bought it the last time it was published (in entirely different packaging) but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet. | |
The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin: In Search of the Treasure of Grundo |
|
Blaine: This 85 episode series was written with an overarching cyclic three act structure. This is act one. | |
Best of Black Beauty |
|
The Best of Ernest |
|
Blaine: This is a 10 DVD set with “over 12 hours” of content. Sounds like sparse discs to me. Why isn’t this a 4-6 disc collection? It’s not to drive up the price since it’s only $19.93 at the time of this writing. It may be to fill out the standard packaging that is being used for most of these “Best of” products. | |

The television animated special, not the feature length film. | |

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “The Indiana Jones Complete Collection is tempting, and definitely worth picking up for those who want to upgrade their DVD versions for something better. Other then that, I’ll also definitely recommend Allison & Lillia.” Blaine says, “I also vote for the Indiana Jones upgrade, with the caveat that I haven’t seen Cabin in the Woods yet but have heard some pretty wonderful things.”
Of these, we’ll be picking up Cabin in the Woods immediately. I already have IJ 1-3 on DVD (aka the only ones that really exist), so that upgrade can probably wait for a Christmas present or a later pickup.
This last season of Supernatural (no real spoilers here) was good but I got the impression they bit off a bit more than they could chew (you’ll get that joke when you watch the rest of the season…) – the resolution seemed a bit weaker than I would have liked, but I don’t know how much of that is going to spill over into the next season.
For a sitcom, Suburgatory is really good. Not sure if/when we’ll be picking up the DVDs but it’s one my wife and I watch regularly, and we only watch maybe 2-3 sitcoms at all.
Plans are afoot for something related to that episode, and we’ll find out on June 13, 2017? Won’t we be too busy dealing with replicants and endless rain by then?
How can it be Indy’s complete adventures if it doesn’t include the tv show?
