Watershed [HD]

An AMAZING Show With AWESOME Writers And Stars!
My husband and I NEVER miss "Castle". It is the ONLY show we both enjoy equally. And this fifth season opener was incredibly satisfying, not just in its own merits but also in how it advances the characters forward.

For four years we watched as the charming and bright but immature Rick Castle fell deeply and truly in love for the very first time in his life. And we also watched a dynamic and attractive but seriously wounded Kate Beckett slowly begin to painstakingly crawl out of her shell and learn to trust.

That the writers have done this with humor and wit, and adventure and mystery, and adorable fun and genuine tenderness - not to mention with more than a little bit of human wisdom - has been the most enjoyable and heartwarming journey that either of us can ever remember with ANY two fictional characters.

And "After The Storm" is a perfect set piece in a perfect story line in the perfectly imperfect world that has enchanted us in this beloved...

Castle: Season 5
Since season 4 ended I have been wondering how the writers would bring all the players back into the fold. They have done so in a most rewarding way. As for the three eposides that have aired, I am in doubt the Captain knows of the new feelings between C & B but from previous episodes I get the notion that R & E have figured it out. I am looking forward to see how the writers work in the Captain learning the secret - which is no longer a true secret - and how the 'twist' will unfold. Monday is a great night.

have a bucket list, to be able to afford to purchase all seasons videos
I was never into watching series TV. Always have on stock market stations and all sports. Then 1 day about 6 weeks ago I caught an episode of Castle. Absolutely fell in love with the characters ( esp. Fillion,of course ) LOL
The writers of thiese storylines are excellent.The comedy lines inserted at all the right places are written with much thought.
I never had a bucket list, but at age 75, I have now. To see Fillion in person.. Hell, I'd be happy to be able to afford to purchase the videos of each season. Got a copy of season 4 and wore it out already.
I for one will be extremely disappointed in they don't renew Castle for season 6.

British Columbia-Vancouver and Beyond

Best way to see nature's wonders
I am just amazed with documentary and it is so nice to see the inside information about the parks from the people who work there, travel and people who live around. I still have lot of episode to finish..

great video
perfect video for national parks introductions in HD quality. Free to watch if you have amazon prime membership. Don't miss it if you are a NP lover.

Educational and Beautiful
I was fortunate enough to visit all of these national parks as a child and teenager. Once my children are grown, I will be sure to take them as well, but this series is a good HD substitute. The views are stunning with vibrant colors and sweeping vistas. After watching the series, it makes me impatient waiting for when I get to go back.

Something New

How could HIMYM ever go wrong?
I had just finished all of Seasons 1 through 7 on Netflix and I didn't know what I was going to do to watch Season 8. It's not on Hulu or any other valid website, the DVD isn't released yet and probably won't be until the fall AFTER the new (and final) season starts. I couldn't bear to miss more and find a way to catch up later, so buying the instant video episodes on here was one of the best decisions I've made! Season 8 is hilarious, touching, and everything else good about this show. I highly recommend buying the instant vids if you need to find a quick way to watch Season 8!

Amazing show
God, I love this show. I recommend you watch it now, its so funny! Legen - wait for it - dary!

Loved it
Since me and my husband are the same age as the gang we really enjoy it. Also it is amazing to see that relationships and jokes are cross cultural .

Sacrifice

Wow. I Am Impressed
I had low expectations when I decided to download the pilot episode. After the utter failure of 'The Cape' and other superhero TV shows ruined with poor acting, poor action and plots that could have been written by a 10 year old, who can blame me for expecting Arrow to be another loser. However, I actually came away impressed ... and I am not that easily impressed.

First, the selection of Stephen Amell as Green Arrow was excellent. I was worried the role would go to a male model more concerned with being pretty than being a hardened man on a mission. With Stephen Amell as Green Arrow you get a guy who comes off more as an MMA fighter, which makes Arrow so much more believable. The action scenes are crisp and effective. Arrow starts out with grit and has an edgy quality that keeps you interested. The plot contains plenty of room for mystery and the dialogue/acting is pretty good. It makes no difference if you are a Green Arrow fan or not, this show is about enjoying a...

This show justs gets better and better!
I love, love, love this show. Such a nice change from the usual mostly meh kind of shows many of the networks are churning out like the mindless so called "reality" shows that I refuse to watch. Way to go CW-this is a winner.

Not your average superhero fan
First let me say, I probably skew the demographics on superhero TV and movies. I am a 52 year-old woman, and have loved the science fiction and superhero genres since I was 12. I love the X-men movies (all of them), most of the Batman movies, the first Iron Man movie,not crazy about Superman (too goody-goody for me, I like 'em dark!). I'm a faithful fan of the excellent Grimm, and the sometimes over-the-top Once Upon A Time. I even enjoy watching some of the animated Spiderman and others with my grandson (LOVE the Di-gata Defenders!). The best ones are archetypes, resonating in the soul.

That said, my review:

This series is really well-done, the cast is exceptionally strong considering their lack of fame, the acting is well above average for the genre, and particularly for a television series. It's dark, often creepy (but not so much that I wouldn't let a nine- or ten-year-old watch it), plenty of action, with a wonderfully believable set of characters. Stephen...

Skin In The Game [HD]

Great Show
I thought, after changing the main character three times this show would not make it. But Ted Dansen pulls it off nicely. I thoroughly enjoy this show and find the episodes to be believeable. Good cast of characters. Recommende!

Series is on Life Support. Maybe It's Time
It's not an exaggeration when I say I was one of the most avid CSI fans out there. I watched from the Pilot and never looked back. I think seasons 2-7 of this show were empirically good television. Good, tight writing. Nuance. Subtext within the cases. The character development, while measured, was nicely done. I liked seeing the characters grow and evolve within the profession and I grew particularly fond of the show's longest arc: the fascinating push/pull relationship between Grissom and Sara Sidle.

Actors get to a point when they want to move on, so Grissom leaving the show--while a bit of a blow--was okay because it was handled very well. His reunion with Sara in Costa Rica was absolutely gorgeous. Definitely the stuff that creates a bit of a legacy for both his character and hers. I think the transition to the Ray Langston character was a bit of a dropped baton. Laurence Fishburne is a very good actor, but the powers that be did a disservice by structuring the show...

Delivers what you've come to expect from CSI - excellence.
Having been masters at character development, its great to see them incorporate that into a script so well. And guess who knows Vegas history well enough to solve this retro-crime?

Benny Finally Enters the Story
Benny, the vampire that Dean escaped Purgatory with finally re-enters the story after being introduced in the first episode. Benny is on the track of vengeance and is hunting his maker when he takes on too many other vampires in a fight. He calls Dean for aid and assistance and as Dean is both loyal to Benny and things are still tense between Sam and Dean, he goes to Benny's assistance giving Sam the minimum of explanation.

What follows is a story of cunning, revenge, love and loss with very little redemption - and it is an excellent story indeed. I am so impressed with the new season of Supernatural. I read recently that the creators are hoping to tell their story over ten seasons and if the show continues at this new level of quality I will be watching with renewed passion. Supernatural is a real winner this season. Catch up on all the episodes.

A final note, the actor who plays Benny plays him with a laconic, creepy, sexual appeal and it really adds to the...

Great Set Up to the Season and Reset to the Series
Review contains light spoilers.

After some of the missteps of the last couple of season of Supernatural, I had my worries about what a new season would bring, but if the rest of Season 8 lives up to the premier, my worries will have been in vain. I loved the opening and the set-up of the season long arcs and the introduction of new characters.

When we left Sam and Dean at the end of Season 7, Dean was in Purgatory and Cas had just disappeared, Kevin, the new prophet had been kidnapped by the always delightful Crowley, Bobby's soul had been set free in death and Sam was left all alone to find Dean, save Kevin and fight the Leviathons. It turns out that Sam did none of those things, a character choice that is sure to be controversial but that has some roots in past behavior and plots. Dean it seems may have been a very bad boy in Purgatory, a place he nicknamed Pure, no doubt because of the purity of the intent to survive that is necessary. It seems that in...

Back on Track
The eighth season has returned to focus on the relationship of Dean and Sam just as Jeremy Carver promised it would. The story arc of the tablets is the filler episodes and it is playing out over three years. Our brothers have struggled, but finally found one another again. That's the whole point of the season. It's well worth my time and money to watch this show/dvd's and judging by the ratings and the early renewal for a ninth season, I know I'm not alone. It's not every "little" show that can knock NBC out of the top slot...and Supernatural has.

It's like a bad accident or rotten milk. You can't help yourself. You just have to "see" it or "smell" it. Some of these episodes are real stomach-churners. Wait until after dinner to watch.

WE LOADED 2-50 CUBIC YARD DUMPSTERS FOR DENISE IN 8 HOURS
My company, Able Removal Service, spent all day with an 8 man crew loading 2-50 cubic yard dumpsters of trash for Denise on this episode of Hoarding Buried Alive. Not only that but we did in house moving and rearranging for Denise inside the basement of her 2 flat. In addition the producers of the show had my crew setting up their tents when we first arrived. They really worked our @sses off! Also the producers ran out of garbage bags so I donated several hundred bags to Denise at no cost. It really was a labor of charity for us since we didn't receive any commercial benefit from doing the show since they don't post any website or phone numbers of the hauling companies on the show.

Tosh.0 515

Tosh love I
Tosh is a destination for me. Consistently funny, usually the next to last smile of my day. Paying $3 an episode on top of my prime subscription: not that enjoyable.

Brilliant Second only to Chris Rock in my Humble Opinion
This show is all about Tosh coming up with the funniest sarcastic comments and original idea's on youtube's funniest video's. Its not for the faint of heart. He is raw, and no topic is off limits. He will test you. Chris Rock talks about religion, handicap people, race, goes off on white and african american people, and all races in between. He talks about woman and men. Well Tosh is the same only he does it differently. Nothing is off bounds with him. On his show or his stand up routine. His show is original the fact it is the highest rated show on comedy central for a reason. He does great innovations like web redemption's for those who want to come to his show and re do the stupid stuff they did and try to get it right but in a funny bit that Tosh put together. He is makes fun of himself better and more than any other comedian. He is just one of the funniest people on the planet. You have to be able to handle any subject. If you have a topic that is just off limits for you...

Tosh.0 Is The Best Show Ever
Tosh.0 has always been one of my favorites and is absolutely hiliarous. I bought an episode off of Amazon Instant Video because Hulu Plus doesn't have Tosh.0 on it anymore.

Dead On The Bayou

I Tried to Like This
I watch a lot of these paranormal shows. Some I really enjoy. Other shows can be interesting or have something to offer. Some, I just can't handle. Like Ghost Adventures, it has some great evidence, but the dude annoys me so much I can't watch. This one, well I actually like these good ol' boys. But to be honest, in the two episodes I watched, I didn't see anything that impressed me as far as their techniques or evidence. Lights popping on on a rim pod a couple of times brings hoots and hollers and bell ringing from the old dude. A dead bird is counted as evidence when there are cats on the farm...just seems like a lot of nonsense. I have family in the south and this feels like not much more than their superstitions. Do they collect real evidence? In the two shows I've seen it has been a lot of muddin' and playin' but not a lot to impress.

I like these guys. I wish they would do less playing and more real ghost hunting. Their personalities would come through...

A third star for Hart Fortenbery the Gris-Gris Godfather
DEEP SOUTH PARANORMAL, in the words of a useless TV critic, is a pathetic attempt to marry "Duck Dynasty" with "Ghost Adventures" (that critic said "Ghost Hunters" but I disagree). Ostensibly composed of a team of Alabama boys on the one hand and Louisiana Cajuns on the other, SOUTH takes us to not-so-spooky locations in ... well, the deep South.

Well, this gang here comes off a lot smarter than the idiots from "Ghost Adventures", but the same old tired night-vision-swelling-creepy-music-for-absolutely-no-reason is here too. The difference is these boys have fun, don't mind showing their true selves, and on occasion simply eat instead of doing their work but when they work at least there's not so much fakery as there is in the other paranormal shows. Even "The Haunted Collector" has gone totally off its rails. I admit DEEP SOUTH is a lot more fun than watching Zak Bagan's constant agonizing, as operatic and drama-queenish as Ryan Buell when he was doing "Paranormal...

Deep South Paranormal
Not as good as some of the other ones like paranormal witness and Stranded. What evidence they do get it seems they hardly show. It's kind of laughable how they want the spirits to react to them and then freak out when they do. Not as good as the previously mentioned two, but will watch because it's about the only paranormal show going on right now.

We All Fall Down

Goodbye 90210, you will be missed
I will miss 90210 so much! It was my favorite teen drama since it began in 2008 and until May of this year. This show was so dramatic, filled with sex and twists that I'll never forget. The cast worked so great together for five years, and I will miss looking forward every week for a new 90210 episode, but it was a great season overall. Obviously, this season doesn't feel like a final season, because the show was cancelled right before the season finale (now series finale) was supposed to be filmed, so if you haven't seen the last episode, don't expect anything big or fancy, but at least the writers found a way to give everybody a closure. The CW did a really bad decision, they will never find anything like 90210 ever.

This season gets closer to the characters' feelings, with Dixon's car accident, Silver trying to have a baby before gettng diagnosed with breast cancer, Naomi breaking up with Max (they were end game! I suffered when they split up), Annie's new writing career...

Best Show!!!
I chose a 5 because we love this show and we like how convenient Amazon makes it to have access to this show. If you watch the series from season one, 90210 gets very addicting.

Retro girl Loving the new 90210
Love it! Never thought I would like it. I grew up watching the original 90210. I love how the original characters are in the show!

Amazon cut the season finale!
I bought the season finale of teen mom 2 on my kindle (season 4) and was completely dumbfounded when the credits rolled after newly married Kailyn and Javi have a casual conversation about his ship date. I was like HUH?!?! No emotional goodbye. No Barbara crying over her daughter's drug addiction. No emotional ending in amazon's version because they cut it short!!!! I am PISSED!!!!!!!!!

Season Finale - Don't Purchase
I have bought tons of TV shows and movies from Amazon ( and other products ). I have never had any issue with them up until now. I didn't subscribe to this show, just bought the episodes I missed. I had seen the season finale on MTV and missed some of the end due to phone calls, life etc... I choose to buy it to see the parts I missed and just because it happened to be a good episode and if you believe the rumors it will be the last episode of this show. Everything went fine watching it up until the end. Amazon has cut off the entire "wrap up" of the show. If you have seen it ( it was in the previews so not really a spoiler ) the Amazon episode ends and cuts straight to the credits right after Javi and Kailyn are speaking about the timeline he would be leaving to go to boot camp. Then BAM credits.

Not sure what Amazon was thinking - if this is the video MTV gave them I would be mad if I was them cause the customers will not appreciate this at all! There are major moments at...

Sadly, my wife loves it enought to purchase apparently
If you want to know why America won't exist in 100 years from now watch this show. What makes me more sad is knowing my wife was willing to shell out 18 bucks to watch some of the most irresponsible pathetic losers in America. I'm not sure what that says about her level of responsibility.

Week 25 [HD]

Excellent source for teaching real-world entrepreneurship to high school students.
I teach entrepreneurship to students at an alternative high school in SC. We view shark tank in class every Friday. The students have learned so much about so many topics that include: business pitch, equity, royalties, revenue, licensing, etc. The students are absolutely mesmerized by the show and are always looking forward to watching on Fridays. Most of the students frequently brainstorm product ideas and build prototypes to appear on the Shark Tank themselves one day.

Love it!
My family rarely watches TV programs, but when my mom came to visit, she wanted us to watch Shark Tank with her. To my surprise, my husband, my three adult kids and myself loved the show. We had to watch more so we bought the series on Amazon.

Awesome show!! Great teaching tool!!
This is a fantastic season, possibly the best of the four seasons, and is an awesome tool for teaching and learning about entrepreneurship and the US economy.

Perfect Storm [HD]

Beautifully acted, beautifully crafted
This episode shows both together and apart, the bond of friendship across many miles and differing circumstances. It cements Christina and Meredith through extraordinary and everyday events in their lives. It is difficult to make a split screen then full scene work well between story lines but this "Grey's Anatomy" does that very well. Those who are observant and attentive will see both psychological and experiential events unfold about the previous pivotal plane crash episode. If you need it spelled out, you are not engaging deeply enough in this fine example of television drama unfolding at its best.

Amazing
I have been in love with Grey's from the beginning. It never ceases to amaze me. I'm pretty sure it's becoming a problem, my addiction that is. I watch old episodes when I'm waiting for the new ones to come out just so I can get my fix. I have completely lost track of how many times I've seen this series

Frustrating way to have closure
The acting and stories are excellent again this year, but come on, we would all like to have closure about how all got out from the woods after last year's finale plane crash. It is ridiculous how they are stringing this out. The writers could've still used the flashbacks, but had an episode all about the rescue, etc.
Normally, I would rate the seasons shows as four-five stars, but I have to lower the ratings because of the lack of closure. Get with the program, Shonda!

Take Me Out to the Fashion Show

we love Fetch!
Fetch is a little hard to describe if you haven't watched it. It's a fun and super educational game show, with 6 early teenage contestants, hosted by an animated dog named Ruff Ruffman. Each episode Ruff sends the "fetchers" on two challenges. The challenges in season two range from learning about mold with a scientist, racing a dragon boat, to travelling to the continental divide by dogsled. The contestants earn points by doing specific tasks during the challenges, showing good sportsmanship or a positive attitude during challenges, and answering questions about facts you learn during the challenges. The show is aimed at 6 to 10 year olds, and I think this is pretty accurate.

I am so excited that Amazon is offering Fetch on instant video now! Our almost 6 year old has been watching Fetch whenever he can for the past year, which unfortunately wasn't very often because it was difficult to find and didn't air much on our pbs channels. When I saw that Fetch season 1 was...

Very entertaining for my 8 year old. Funny and educational! Energetic and silly. Love the mix of cartoon and real life interaction. It is well done.

I truly hope that the network gives this show a long run. It is so smart and funny. It says everything you are thinking but would never admit or say out loud.

Great show that met an untimely death
Underrated and unappreciated sums up the short, tragic life of the B in Apt 23. This hidden gem of a show never quite got the support it needed or the backing it deserved to find an audience in its brief time on ABC.

Very funny. Hope it gains a following and lasts a few seasons. One of my favorite shows on TV. Watch it!

Never Turn Back [HD]

GREAT Show with Misleading Title
Granted, if you go into this show expecting the show to parallel the fairy-tale version of Beauty & the Beast, you will understandably be confused. The only similarities between the fairy-tale and the show is that she's pretty and he has an "animal" side that comes out when his adrenaline kicks in. Similarities end there.

After watching all the episodes released so far on Hulu in the past few days, what I've come to really appreciate about this film is that the hero, Vincent Keller, is not the typical superhero that we normally see on the screen. You won't find Iron Man, Thor, Spiderman, Batman or any other number of hot heros who are out there today. He has a "power," but he understandably hates it and is frightened of his own propensities for causing harm. He's a man who when he lost his family through tragedy, in his grief tried to validate their deaths in the only way that crossed his grief-torn mind at the time...but even that went wrong. He's left with nothing. No...

Great Episode, can't wait for more!
I love the direction this show has taken and can't wait for more! The acting is great, the characters have excellent chemistry and the plot has me absolutely glued.

Beautiful and Compelling
So far, this show has been everything I'd hoped for and more. Cat (Catherine)is beautiful inside and out, yet she is very strong and determined. Vincent is very appealing with his good looks, strength, and endearing smile, yet he is almost terrifying when his altered DNA kicks in. But it doesn't outweigh his gentleness and care for people, especially for Catherine. The cases Catherine has to handle are like stories within the story which produces a lot of action and makes the show compelling.

White Hat's Back On

Unimaginable Chemistry
It's been said...the chemistry between Actress Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn is one of those rare electrifying connections on TV and they are. Not only is each episode well written, fast paced and captivating - the fire between these two actors sucks you in and makes you want more. I must say - when I watched the first six episodes, I thought two things: 1. The president is having an affair with a woman who happens to be of color? In this day and age, that's still very bold - 2. At the pace they are going, they will run out of steam before the season is done. I was wrong on both account. Race is NOT an issue - as the script and development of the affair are so well done. The affair makes you root for a relationship that in all instances is wrong. But chemistry between Olivia Pope and the President is AMAZING - it makes you abandon all senses / reason...It is almost indescribable the attraction between these two actors - nicely played out, slowly, carefully and so authentic.

SIMPLY ADDICTIVE!!!!!!!!!
The storyline in this drama series is simply fantastic. Kerry Washington embodies Olivia Pope. The chemistry between her and Fitz (The President) is undeniably. What I love about the story line is that you cannot predict what's coming next. It keeps you glued to the edge of your seat. Shonda does it again. This show is my new drug. I simply can't get enough of it. For any and everyone who hasn't seen it, you should.

Great Episode
I love the show, the writing, the actors. I usually watch each episode twice so that I can pick up on the things that I didn't notice the first time.
