Great supplement for expanding NOW: You wouldn't want to jump off with these CD's if you are just starting to discover the Power of NOW. There are concepts Eckart discusses which are presumed to be known. This is a live seminar he is giving over multiple days. I particularly got a lot out of his long discussion and flushing out of "acceptance". He uses humor quite a bit. I have three other of this oral discussions or book readings and I didn't get any direct repetitions in these CD's. You cant go wrong with some enlightenment from Tolle. My favorite audio from him is "Practicing the Power of Now" because it is less theory and more direct tools and example.
Just as I expected: Bear came in just days and perfect! My one year old loves hugging and wrestling him. I'm very pleased!
Bear Review: The Plush is nice. My son enjoied it very much.The only problem was that in the first days itloose some hair.
Beautiful Frogs: Tired of seeing the same photographs in older books ? Try this book, you will not be disappointed with the spectacular original color photographs by well known nature photographer John Netherton. Accompanying text gives general description of frog sizes, habitats, mating habits and distributions. This book is a definite must for any nature lover for its photos alone.
Absolutely Spectacular Photography!!!: A terrific book about the 2600 mile Pacific Crest Trail. The text is well written and easily read. As one who has contemplated the journey, I was thrilled with the detailed descriptions of the authors' trek. But for me, it is the pictures that make this a winning book. Over 100 stunning shots of everything from lakes, flowers, and trees to mountains, wildlife, and even one unbelievable photo of lightning! I can daydream for an hour over each picture. Composition and lighting are superb. I can't imagine anyone not saying "Wow!" again and again as they page through this book. An excellent book...absolutely spectacular photography!
Primordial Sound-Astarius is Wonderful and soothing to your mind & heart: I have purchased for myself as well as my new age store the most moving and uplifting music that was on Amazon and at the INATS metaphysical show.I intend to order more cd's and hopefully we will someday see a few DVD's from this fine young man.IF you listen to this music, a person can hardly keep from either Dancing or being completely rested.I really do not know how Astarius does it...But I want more of his music.Stephanie SchneiderThe Blue Angel-Gifts & More
Seaweed identification: I wanted a book that would help me identify marine algae species found along the Pacific coast and this will certainly do that. It includes photographs and physical descriptions along with habitat and range notes. It appears to be fairly complete. Eelgrasses, which are not algae, are also included.
eureka vacuum bag 54924B: i have a very old eureka vacum and it was hard to find the correct bags, now i have them and i'm very happy. thank you, thank you
Good basic day book.: I'm very pleased with this book, it has just what I need which is pages that are easy to turn anad space for writing the day's appointments and events. Its a little confusing because it begins later in the calander year not in January but that's easy to get used to. I'd buy again.
Best women's fragrance: So glad to find that this product is still around. Have LOVED it for years. My husband & grown children think it is the ONLY fragrance I'm supposed to wear. When I've tried others, they all say--hmmmmm, i still like Galore the best. After 40 odd years using it--guess I'm sticking with it!!!!!
Nice bright blue light for night viewing: Provides a very bright light that does not affect night sight. Very helpful for checking on the kids at night.
Very blue, very bright, got it on time, and in good shape. Can't ask for more.: Very blue, very bright, got it on time, and in good shape. Can't ask for more.
This is real good stuff: I heard Joss Stone's song on a famous music television and since then, my cd player's been tired of playing it again and again. Those of you who like nu-soul will love this cd. The beat is tremendous,Joss's voice is amazing, it makes you fell like dancing, put on some nice 70's like clothes, and head up to Studio 54. I don't have anything else to say but buy this cd, you won't regret it.
A much stronger voice than Jack's.: Joss' cover of Jack Whyte's tune is superior to the original in every way. A stronger voice, a funkier arrangement and a better (more subtle) guitarist in Little Beaver. This was one of the highlights of the Soul Sessions, a cd filled with highlights. The White Stripes' original sounds bland and predictable next to Joss.Looking forward to her upcoming disc of originals.
Good to the almost-last drop: Laurie King is too good a writer to have given us such a perfunctory ending. This is--to my thinking--the best book of the series, with wonderfully developed characters and a carefully researched context that engages the reader from beginning to almost-end. It felt as if Ms. King was herself deeply involved in her own story until she suddenly gave it all up to a quick, formulaic tying together of loose ends. Zip. Done, and done quickly with little artistry.
Well Worth the Read Even if Not the Best in the Series: While there isn't much of a mystery here - and there are no plot twists - the writing is amazing. King's phrasing is beautifully done and a delight to read. More than once, she made me smile and even laugh at loud so perfect is her cadence.If you haven't read the rest of the series, don't start with this outing rather start with "The Beekeeper's Apprentice," the first in this series. You'll be hooked and will soon find yourself searching for a copy of "Justice Hall."
Married Mary: I enjoyed Ms. King's latest Mary Russell book, although I think Mary herself is becoming boring. Where is the independent thinker of the first two books? Where is the snappy dialogue between Mary and Holmes? Since Ms. King married them off, Mary's personality seems to have become subdued. What happened?
Justice Hall: It was good being reacquainted with the characters. I enjoyed the way the story linked all the characters and brought the story to such a satisfactory conclusion. I thought it was hard reading for the first 25 or so pages and then found that I didn't want to stop reading.
Enticing: Having read other books by Laurie King I was looking forward to this one. I was not disappointed. There are many small mysteries to be solved on the way to the final quest that it keeps you actively engaged.
Justice Hall (a Mary Russell Mystery) by Laurie R. King: This book has to be one of my top favorites in the Mary Russell series. The plot was excellent and the characters well-written. The story unfolded in a lively way without any lag in the middle of the story. It was hard to put it down.I can highly recommend this book.Denise N. Davidson
A testament to Rubinstein's greatness, and Chopin's: If someone wished to make a case for Rubinstein's genius not only as a Chopin interpreter, but as a pianist of the first rank, they'd need do little more than offer this one recording as evidence. The control of melodic line, lift, chordal technique, brilliance in ornamentation and fioriture - all of them are at the service of Chopin's conception, but come together with a sound that can only have been made by Rubinstein. Perhaps most moving is the first ballade; the grandeur of the main E major theme has never been brought out so compellingly, and the closing Gm section is nothing short of demonic. I've listened to this recording well over a thousand times, and have explored every other commercially-available recording of the ballades. Nothing quite compares. If I had only one piano record, perhaps even only one record of any kind, to choose for the proverbial desert island, this one would be it.
10 stars !: Chopin's Ballades, Scherzoes and 19 Nocturnes are the pinnacle of classical piano. Rubinstein Collection Vol. 45 and 49 are the reference recordings for these pieces. His interpretation of Ballades is muscular. In contrast, he is as soft as feather in the dreamy Nocturnes.
Great Product: i bought this product for my mother, her blood test gave low hemoglobin level so i bought it for her, it is a great protein supplement and she loves the flavor.
What a paradigm!: Dan Kimball shares insights regarding postmodernism and its effect on the church and how people see church as it now exists. A real eye-opener...helps the church to get past "doing what we've always done", to becoming a positive force in the world. Gets you past a consumer mentality to a missional mentality!
Great!: This is another great album in Emmylou Harris' catalog. No Gram Parsons' covers on this one. However, she does an emotional reading of Dolly Parton's "To Daddy" which is just devestating. She does two Rodney Crowell songs including "I Ain't Living Long Like This" and "Leaving Louisiana In Broad Daylight". She does a beautiful cover of "Defying Gravity" which is an album highlight. Other favorites include "Easy From Now On", "Two More Bottles Of Wine", "My Songbird". Two bonus cuts include "New Cut Road" and "LaCassine Special".
sturdy & functional: We were looking for something to fit a particular area within our kitchen and this seemed to be the perfect fit. Upon receipt and construction we determined it to be a better fit than we had imagined. Not only is the product functional, but is very sturdy as well - glad to have products made in the USA available.
Functional: The rack works fine, went together in a reasonable amount of time, and looks good. What more can you ask for?
Probably a reason why this is the most popular wine rack out there: It's awesome in pretty much every way. Does not look tacky. I configured it for a weird shelf in my kitchen and it worked beautifully. Gets the job done.
Solid and basic: As advertised, very solid, fit together well. Compared with the diamond-shaped corner pieces from other manufacturers, this holds the spindles well. Nice and tight after assembly.
Perfect for my pantry: I wanted to find a wine rack that I could build into my pantry closet. I like this one because I was able to build it into a straight line to fit above a shelf. It's nice to be able to make it whatever shape you want. We came across the problem others had where some of the pins were too loose, so I took off one star for that, but there were enough pins that fit and when we got it all together, it held together fine. It looks great.
wine rack: took some time to assemble. liked that i was able to configure to suite my needs. able to separte red and white bottles of wine. fit nicely into space i hade planned
Great product.: I bought this product because I wanted a wine rack to fit in an unusual space and it worked perfectly
Nice Product: After much research looking for a wine rack that was affordable and versatile, I settled on this product. I knew there would be some assemble, but I was surprised at how long it took me to put it together (think tinker toys). Having said that, once I got the hang of it it went a lot faster. The nice thing is that if you have an odd shaped space you will be using you can mold this to probably fit it. Also, don't worry too much about it not being level as you put it together, once you fill it with wine bottles it will level out.
Excellent product, excellent company: I have bought this product before and have been very pleased. The product consistency is great and now I have a wine cellar with this great product.
Good value - lot of work: I bought 9 cases of this product. Putting it together is not difficult but when you have 9 / 40 bottles racks it takes time! Also I bought them natural and stained them myself. That was time consuming as well. But a good value and the 360 bottles are sitting pretty
Should be easier to find: I saw this years ago in a store and always planned to buy one. I don't understand why they are so hard to find, but glad I got one through amazon. Easy to assemble and fits any configuration.
Good, practical wine rack: Looks good and built well. It takes a bit of time to put it together, but it's kinda fun. Overall, very good value for money.
Great Wine Rack: The rack is very easy to assemble and looks beautiful in any area. It can be assembled to fit in any area. It arrived in time and in excellent condition.
Custom fit: Got an odd, misshapen space for your wine collection? Don't want to sink a ton of cash into a remodel just yet? Fondly remember Tinker Toys?J.K. Adams Wine Racks are for you. Simply adaptable to whatever dimensions you want, this product provides secure and attractive storage.
Great product that is simple to use: I have 4 of these kits that I have used to construct the racking system in my wine closet. They are fairly easy to assemble and all of the parts are made to specification so everything fits together well.
High Quality, Easy to Assemble overall Excellent: I purchased two of these to add to the larger one of the same brand that was given to me a a gift.J.K. Adams wine racks fit together well and are very stable after assembly. Unlike some others, the rack accomodates odd-shaped bottles. As a plus it's easily expandable. I highly recommend it.
Fits my needs exactly: Easy to assemble, if you're not in a rush. A mallet is needed for correct assembley. It's kind of fun like the old tinker toys. I was able to get the dimentions that I needed to fit into a larger cabinet. Great product. I also stained and polyurathaned.
Great! American made, pretty, functional.: Very easy to put together, with no glue needed. All kinds of design configurations possible.I'm tired of cheap, Chinese crap that falls apart when you look at it. This is what I wanted and got:traditional, New England rock solid construction, with no wobble in it.I'm going to buy another set, to add to the first, and to expand my little wine collectionbecause this works so well.
Sturdy, functional, flexible storage for your wine: This wine rack is sturdy and functional, and is very practical for conforming to small spaces (we have ours under the stairs). Well built. It's not particularly aesthetically pleasing, but gets the job done. Would definitely buy again. Great for closets our other spaces you don't necessarily want to display.
Simple, Basic and Looks Good: A very simple to assemble wine rack that looks good.Nothing fancy, plain wood finish that works pretty much anywhere and is small enough to fit in most corners or other places where room may be tight.For the price and ease of assembly, a worthwhile purchase.
Love the Wine Rack: The rack was everything it promised to be. Easy to assemble with a rubber malet and very sturdy. The two-tone model looks good and the modular design will make it easy to add another section. Highly recommend.
A first-rate primary source: Edited with an Introduction by Marlene Smith-Baranzini, The Shirley Letters: From The California Mines 1851-1852 by Louise Amelia Knapp Smith Clappe presents the contemporary reader with vivid first-person accounts of what it was like to live in the midst of the great California gold rush. Written in the form of letters by a doctor's wife who lived through the thick and thin of boisterous events, The Shirley Letters encompass mob violence, summary justice, a duel to the death, a rowdy July 4th celebration, and much, much more. A first-rate primary source, The Shirley Letters offers especial insight to American history and is highly recommended for both personal reading lists and academic reference collections.
Stunningly vivid work: Stunningly vivid work. I've read many books that cover the Gold Rush era. This one is by far the best at bringing it to life. It was written by a woman who lived right where it was happening, when it was happening. Written for the popular (newspaper) press of the time, her stories paint a picture of the setting, the people, and the values of the day that is simply unmatched.Even better, the editor has done an admirable work of putting the author's life and work into context, with a helpful introduction, endnotes, and glossary of place names.
One of the better diaries from pioneer women: This is one of the best diaries I have the pleasure of reading. "Dame Shirley" is an elegant and educated women coping with the harshest of environments with a keen and happy attitude. I highly recommend this book.
Splendid effort.: Not as kitchy as their first offering, but still right on target. Both Bob Mayo and Allen Meece offer some of their best work here. Certainly worth a read.
Journey - Pre-Release CD by John Gray: The CD has awesome music on it. It has substance, deep messages, tremendous styling and it leaves you with hope and a sense that God is in control. Most music does not do that. This does! Plus, John Gray has a fabulous voice. What else can there be?
Polly Pocket: Now she doesn't move!: Actually, that's a little harsh. This is actually a toy in the spirit of those Barbie Hair Styling Heads. However, Polly is smaller than Barbie, so in order to style her hair, they made her about 15 inches tall, and posed her in a sitting position on top of a purple flower. The doll head is nice and attractive, but it's really more of an ornament to look at, since the doll can't be moved. It has no joints (well, the head turns from side to side and the arms move a little to allow a girl to put on Polly's Nail Polish (Water). The head on the doll is adorable, and I wish that someone at Mattel would take the head and put it on a 15 inch tall body with movable joints and plenty of posing action. Until they actually come out with Jumbo Sized Polly Pocket (I am well aware that this is an oxymoron.), This would be the next best thing.
An Excellent Edition: It would, of course, be folly of the highest order to give a critique of the Aeneid itself; by the number of years through which it has survived alone, it is justified. It is an unquestionable literary achievement, indeed, a monument of Western Civilization. This edition is a superb one for the student of Latin, although the light hearted should beware: As one might expect from the Oxford Classical Texts, even the introduction is in Latin. Annotations abound, but they concern themselves with matters of manuscript conflicts. The text itself appears to be flawless and is very readable. Moreover, for 21 dolloars this edition is an absolute bargain. I have never seen a complete Virgil for such an astounding price. (The Loeb edition is close, but one must purchase several volumes to equal the contents of this single volume, and the Loeb forces a distracting English translation upon the reader.) In short, this small, attractive book is the ideal Vergil for students on any budget.
still waiting: Although I ordered this in early December, I have yet to see it here at my home. Amazon has delayed shipment twice now, extending the delivery time to as late as Feb 20. I'm disappointed, but am still anxious to see my grandson enjoy his "very late" Christmas present. I'm assuming that the great buy on this item inspired many more orders than Amazon had expected.
Jupiter&Saturn&Moon: It was so nice to focus my new Galileo telescope to this star that turned to be Saturn with his rings at the end, and over a week later at early morning I could watch Jupiter with three of his moons. Amazing for the price. I hope to see mars soon.
First Danish punk album: In the 1970s the Danish music scene was mostly dominated by left-wing, politically oriented bands. This album is one of the most remarkable and, at least by the standards of that time, disturbing releases in Danish rock history. The original 1979 release lasted less than 30 minutes (like many other punk albums) but the addition of several bonus tracks on the 1997 CD-rerelease changed that. The musical content mainly consists of hardcore punk songs with anti-authority lyrics (Police, Military Madness). This album is especially recommended to "advanced" punk-oriented music fans with an open mind.
Very Good: I've watched Alias seince it came out. And When i bought this season, I got all upset because I didn't have the second season. But on the third i'll by it. As for season one, it great.
Alias - my favourite: I've just seen the first season of Alias on DVD and I must say that I became a real fan from Alias.The actors, especially Jennifer Garner, are amazing. There is always a lot of action, conflicts, feelings, eye catcher and so on.I'm looking forward on the 2 and 3 season and I heart that there will be a 4 season. :-)
Alias- Put it on Dvd!: Alias is simply the best show on television, why the ratings are not so hot is beyond me. I've gotten several of my friends to watch the show and am on a mission to keep this show on T.V for as long as possible. The first season should be released as soon as possible because for one I must have it and I am sure the shows popularity will grow as it did for 24 which is no where near as cool as Alias. This show has all the elements of greatness and needs to be a T.V must watch so lets put it on Dvd already.
Saving the world one great outfit at a time: What do you get when you combine a gifted writer frustrated with coming up with new teenage angst with an actress who had a small but pivotal role in the first season of his show? You get a hit show from J.J. Abrams featuring Jennifer Garner.It took me a bit to warm up to this show (being the hard-nosed Femme Nikita that I am), but after catching a marathon run of the first few episodes, I was hooked. Add to that the fact that one of the cast members is the excellent Victor Garber and another the magnificent Michael Vartan. Drama, action, exotic locations and actors who can act!Buy this DVD, but please watch the show as well on ABC. Even though Alias has legions of fans, new ones are always welcome. Ignore the rumors that state the show is too *difficult* or *involved* to watch without having seen every previous episode. The writing is quick, intelligent and often self-explanatory.
great first season: The first episode grabs you and keeps you hooked for the rest of the season. "Alias" was at times an uneven show, but the first season is action-packed and exciting and definitely worth watching!
ALIAS DVD WILL be in WIDESCREEN: From TVTShowsOnDVD:ALIAS - Fullscreen or Widescreen? - 4:11 PM 4/02/2003Over the past week or so, DVD forums have been buzzing with the information that Alias will be released in fullscreen even though the show is broadcast in widescreen on ABC's HDTV feed. Not wanting to spread false information about the release, we contacted someone at Buena Vista Home Entertainment and asked what the aspect ratio for the release would be. The response was all we needed:"It will be in widescreen."So, I guess that should silence the uprising. Spread the word.
Simply Awesome: Alias is simply an amazing show. Its exciting, interesting, intelligent, compelling and simply fabulous. My father and I watched the first show out of curiosity and became COMPLETELY HOOKED!!! If it is sunday night adn Alias is on it does not matter what else we may be doing or how important it is we stop to watch Alias. I would suggest it for anyone who likes good fun and action, although it is probably not best for young children because there is a fair amount of violence.
Alias Again: This is a very well done series. I'm enjoying watching it again. I would recommend it to others. I guess considered the first "Borne"
very engrossing: This is an excellent show with a complex story that keeps you thoroughly engaged. If you love thrilling mysteries you'll be hooked.
Still the best Spy Show: Don't get me wrong -- I love Burn Notice and Covert Affairs. But Alias is the best. Good writing, great cliffhangers, fast-paced action. I can't believe the series is 10 years old. It holds up very well.
The Story Has Just Begun: Alias, I have to admit I was not a fan when saw the promo ads with the Run Lola Run look, but I tuned into the 1st season finale and then saw Syd being shot by her mom, Vaughn "drown" and I was hooked. Tuned in to season 2 and determined that Alias was my favorite show (beating Buffy!). I cannot wait until season 3 premieres and am so glad that s2 is released on 12/2/3.
Glad I'm not the only addict!: Phew! My husband was beginning to worry about me as I am so totally addicted to this show. I am half way through the third season after only starting to watch the first season a couple of weeks ago.I had also never watched it on TV but my friend had bought the first season on DVD and said it was good so I borrowed it well that was the end of me. I had to go out and buy the second and third season. It is crazy, I work full time and have a two year old but I am completely addicted!!!!I agree with the reviewer that said that it is like a long drawn out movie. It is brilliant and I will have serious trouble when Season 4 starts and I have to wait for a week until the next episode.SincerelySeriously Obsessed Alias Fan
Must Watch!: If you're not watching this show, start watching it immediately. JJ Abrahms is utterly brilliant in his ability to bring a show together. There is much intrique, drama, romance, and action. Why more people are not watching this show is beyond me.
Great escapist fun!: Interesting characters...who's the bad guy? Are you sure?Non-stop action with shots of breathtaking sites around theworld add to its appeal. Techies will love the gadgets!!
Alias...love it: I always enjoyed watching this show when it was first on. Now my daughters and I sit everynight and watch the next episode. The next night we can't wait to finish chores, homework and dinner. We watch the episodes thru the Kindle.
Widescreen after all?: Looks like new information from a source at Buena Vista (posted on another online forums site) states there will be a widescreen release after all. I really hope the information is verified, as a 4:3 release would not be good news.
Alias! Alias! Alias!: This is the best show on TV! The storyline is compelling and I'm always waiting for the next episode to air. It's fast-paced, exciting, and always leaves you wanting more.
PLEASE producer-people! You must Release a DVD!: I know that just about every Alias fan out there that could WOULD buy the DVD for season 1. Especially me since I'm just coming into the plot for season 2!!!...Please, oh please release season 1 on DVD!!!
New Packaging Reduces Price: So, I believe that this is a re-issue of the original first season that must have been discontinued. When I ordered this, I couldn't figure out why the price was so low. The packaging is much smaller and simpler, with all discs inside of a case barely larger than a standard DVD case. They are arranged in a similar fashion to some of the Full House DVD's, where the discs lay on top of each other, slightly overlapping. I believe the first season of House does this as well.So, if you don't really care about having extensive packaging such as the 24 box sets, you can't go wrong with this for the price. The show is wonderful, and I'm glad that I'll be able to add them all to my collection at this price. (Also posted this review for season 2, since the packaging is identical.)
Please put Alias on DVD: Alias is one of the best new shows on the tube. It will capture your imagination and not let you down, even when viewed multiple times. There is always something new to find and the reversals that happen in the story keep you watching!
Hook, Line and Sinker, GREAT SHOW: I was hooked from the very first episode and was lucky enough to record the season one episodes that had aired during a marathon that abc family aired later that year. I now have half of season 2 on VHS and all of season 1 and am in the process of addicting as many people as possible with my VHS tapes. But they are getting worn out! We need the DVD's! THis is a wonderful show that many people are comparing to 24 and La Femme Nikita. But it has much more than both of those shows. It has more characterization than 24 and has a greater scope of vision than La Femme Nikita, with more hope and twists, and surprises than any other show on air. With great actors and actresses such as Victor Garber, Jennifer Garber, Lena Olin (this season), Ron Rifkin, Kevin Weisman, and I can just go on. In essence, this show will grab you, wrench your heart, then throw you in the deep end of a mystery. As said before.. "It just totally pops."
Alias is a must on DVD: Alias is the best show to hit TV in a long time. It's a classic with great drama, stories, and complex characters. Jennifer is such a sweety, if this came out on a DVD today I will hit "Buy now" immediately.
Good show: Never watched it on TV. Decided to view it now. Good acting. Different types of scripts. Have enjoyed it greatly.
starts very strong, but then gets a bit lost: We somehow missed this the first go round and didn't watch it on TV at all (what was I doing in 2002?!) The very first episode was amazing, the characters are strong, the situations are complex and interesting and the fighting is great (though if I see one more person rebound from a sharp kick to the head, those kicks hurt, you wouldn't just bounce back!)However 12 episodes in, and she is just a bit too perfect for me. All those languages, all those skills, and she's never killed anyone... I like some of the more outre scenarios, but I am not as gripped as I had hoped I would be. I'd rate it a comfortable 3.5, rounded up to 4, but it sits at like, I don't love it like I'd hoped to.
Alias is no1: I am a huge fan of Alias and have been hooked ever since the first episode. It has a great story line, fantastic actors in it and just has something for everyone. I would reallY really like to see the entire first series out on DVD/video as myself and i'm sure thousands of others would buy it in a flash. If you havn't seen it i suggest you watch repeats because you don't know what you're missing out on.
Alias has it all!: Whether you're a sci/fi, action, comedy, or romance fan, Alias can deliver. It is one of the best shows, with never-ending plot twists, and stories to entertain everyone. Best of all, it's aimed at the family!
This series is a lot of fun....: I am so glad I waited to see this series on DVD...to think that the TV viewers had to wait for a week before resolving the weekly cliff-hanger! But now, my wife and I can watch one tense, dramatic, action-packed episode after another....What fun.I have heard that Season 3 is really extraordinary - can't wait.This series is well done, fraught with peril and suspense. How long can our gal maintain the perilous tightrope of being a double agent? How long can SD6 survive? Is the CIA and her Dad really on top of all of this?We are now waiting for the next episode to arrive from Netflix. Too bad I have to work next week.
ALIAS is the best television show EVER made so far: Alias is in my opinion, the best television show ever made so far. I usually don't have the time to write these comments, but I had to make an exception when I found out that ALIAS is not available on DVD as yet... It is smart, exciting, innovative, riveting and action packed while not being too over-the-top and unrealistic. I (and many of my friends) would LOVE to see a DVD collection made with cool extras, behind the scenes footage, commentary from J.J. Abrams. I would definitely buy one for myself and some for gifts. If the DVD was created to a similar innovative standard as the show, it would sell hundreds of thousands of copies world-wide. J.J. Abrams is a role model for me, keep up the good work champ!
best TV program in a long time: This is a great show...very gripping, suspenseful and entertaining. It's a little bit of everything...action, drama, love story, friendship, patriotism. It's fast-paced story line makes it all the more interesting. The hour is over before you even know it.
Alias DVD: Alias is my favorite show on television. The first season was fast paced, inventive, and clever. The actors are fantastic and the story line and settings are escapist. The episodes truly deserve to be released on DVD.
What a great Guest/Recurring cast: I forgot how many terrific actors were involved in the first season: Sarah Shahi, Terry O'Quinn, Patricia Wettig, Gina Torres, Amy Irving, James Handy - not to mention Bradley Cooper as a series regular; Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin - a really terrific cast.
Couldn't stop watching: Was awesome - addicting - fun to watch her change disguises, wondering what they'll think of next. Great story line! There are a few cheesy parts, but no more cheesy than any of the 007 movies. If you just let her be an unbelievably great secret agent who rarely gets hurt, you'll love the adventures this show takes you on.
One of the most consistent seasons I've seen: I started watching the show regularly during the 3rd season. By then the show was more inconsistent but it still was good enough for me to go back and watch past seasons. The 1st season is the best by far. There is a sense of fun even among the tragedy that Syndey faces. The character of Will worked better when he was an outsider on the verge of finding out the truth. Too bad they couldn't sustain that intensity and Will was forced out of the show. Anyway there aren't many shows like Alias now so the dvd set will keep you entertained.
A Cliff Hanger of a Series: First, a personal note. I HATE commercial TV. I resent mindless adverising interrupting a good story, so 90% of what I watch is movies on DVD. So my younger son kept telling me how great this series was, and I kept telling him, "Yeah, Yeah, yeah!", when I realized that for my very intelligent son to be high on a program, it HAD to be good.Then he tells me that season one is on DVD, and I see a "win-win" situation. And it is!!All of the praise that other reviewers pile on this series is justified. EVERYTHING, from script quality to acting to special effects is just first rate. Even the price is good, considering that it contains 6 DVDs, each with 4 separate episodes.So I recommed it without reservations, except that season two is even better ...
Impossibly good television: Alias is an amazing labyrinth of a television show: overwrought, spellbinding, stunning, moving, engaging, puzzling, impenetrable, and, oh yeah, human. Sydney Bristow is easy to root for, but for me it's her father Jack Bristow that is somehow the heart of the story: so damaged, so interior, so pressured, it's a wonderful pleasure just to watch Garber's masterfully understated performance. His impassive, nearly blank facade hides deep emotion: hurt, fear, and love for his daughter. Even Arvin Sloane, a truly evil, sometimes creepy, man, is consumed by love for his dying wife. And Sydney, well, she's the star and deservedly: gorgeous, bright, perfect for the role. Wonderful stuff. This is better than most movies because of the sheer amount of time available in a television season to develop plotlines, characters, ideas. Whatever you pay for this set isn't enough. Amazing.
I'm ADDICTED!: I am ADDICTED to ALIAS! This show is awsome. It keeps your intrest the whole epiosode! You need to own or watch all 5 seasons!
OMG The Best Show On T.V.: I am OBSESSED With Alias. All three seasons have been completely Gripping. I just saw the preview for season 4 during Desperate Housewives and Alias Addicts REJOICE It seems to be going back to when Syd was a rogue agent hiding from different people dressing up in those AMAZING Costumes. New season starts Jan. 5 people get ready
Distracted Enjoyment: While I am enjoying the storylines thus far, admittedly there are things I am becoming incredibly distracted by. The main one is the hideous wigs she dons for just about every mission. The colors and styles are just SO atrocious. Aren't spies most effective when they are able to fly under the radar? Next? Jennifer Garners exaggerated posture. She throws her shoulders so far back when she walks, that I keep expecting her to tip over!! These things just take me completely out of the action.
Outstanding!: "Alias" is one of those TV shows that works on its every level. The show about the beautiful undercover agent Sidney Bristow will be appreciated by both fans of action (because of the great special effects) drama (it packs an emotional wallop) and suspense (the cliffhangers will keep you watching this 6-DVD set hours past your bedtime).The story revolves around the young secret agent who works for a covert branch of the CIA called SD-6 and is about to have her world turned upside down when she finds out secrets about the people she works for, her past and her estranged father. One of the main reasons this show works flawlessly is its actors. Jennifer Garner is unbelievably convincing and good in the role of Sidney, Victor Garber (a Broadway Tony nominee) plays her father most credibly and there is even an episode dedicated to Mr. Quentin Tarantino! All in all, a great show with amazing plot twists, cliff-hangers and all your usual and unusual spy stuff!
Addictive: I only got into Alias in season 2. I saw the season 1 finale last year when I was staying at my friends house. I missed the season premire of season 2, but have seen every ep since and taped a few eps from season 2. I was hooked.I bought the season 1 dvds 2 weeks ago and had watched them twice over by the last week. I live in Australia and we are in a different region so we did not get all the bonus features. We didn't get Marshall's gadget gallery or the "A Mission around the world". I loved the cast commentaries, especially the one for the finale with the whole main cast. I can't wait till we get season 2 down here.
Plea to ABC: This is yet another person pleading, no grovelling on hand and knees begging ABC to release the first season of Alias on DVD. 24 has a DVD and its also just come out. Think about it - the best show on tv, a critical darling, millions of fans, 11 emmy nominations. What's missing? The DVD set.
ALIAS = pure goodness: This show is so highly addictive that in one month I have watched all three seasons. This show is for anyone with a passion for a program that takes thought, and keeps you on the edge of yor seat waiting for more.
Excellent: Alias season one is with out a doubt worth every penny, it, along with the other two seasons should be the first things on your list. In conclustion they are the best dvd sets i have ever purchaed.
ALIAS, An Exciting Series: Alias is really a creative work. The writer and director are best. The complicated story of this series makes me love it. after I watched this season, I bought the remaining disc for succeeding season at same day.
