24: Season Seven

Customer Reviews
Fantastic! While I was sad to learn this is the final season it certainly makes it worth buying and watching. Normally I would give it 5 stars but at times during the show the relationship between the president and her daughter and her secrect service advisor seem to get in the way of what Jack is doing and the relationship between him and his work collegues. Overall though it was fantastic and I would recommend watching 24 redemption before this so you'll know what is going on. Actually make sure you catch every episode - it's worth your timeSeven

Jack is back! I am so glad that S7 has already been released. Go ahead and buy it, because I guarantee you'll love every single episode. Jack at his best. (Great story. The writers did a brilliant job once again!)
Best since Season I After Season 6 I thought this show may be ready to jump the shark but Season 7 brought Jack back with a vengence. From the first few minutes of "8 AM" I was perched on the edge of my chair. One of the things I've always liked about this show is how they put many of the secondary characters on a pendulum and swing them back and forth between the good guy/bad guy classification. You're never quite sure who to trust. I'm pleased with this new season and would recommend the series DVD to anyone who wants 24 hours of excellent entertainment....bg

True Blood: The Complete First Season (HBO Series)



True Blood: The Complete First Season (HBO Series)
From HBO Home Video
Product Description
TRUE BLOOD chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps... where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe(R)-winner for "True Blood", Academy Award®-winner for “The Piano”) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte's. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron - 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer, "Quills") - and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from Creator and Executive Producer Alan Ball (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® series “Six Feet Under”), TRUE BLOOD is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart - and the neck - of the Deep South.

Superb... and not for everyone Alan Ball has created a series in True Blood that brilliantly captures the horror and eroticism of the vampire myth while being true to the source material in the novels. Death, sex, addiction, violence, intolerance, friendship, love, acceptance, etc. all play a part of this show. If this is problematic for you, then I suggest you watch that other, unbelievably popular, benign and neutered, vampire-movie-based-on-books.
The Best!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not wait to receive this and I subscribed to HBO just so I could watch the second season. I read all the books first and then found out it was made into an orignial HBO series. I have watched the first season on DVD at least 3 times since receiving the DVD's. I am so ready for the 2nd season to start.
Thank you Alan Ball! The most addicting TV show is a long time! I won't go into too much detail as so many other folks have already done so. But who would have thought a show involving the romance of a plucky young southern waitress and a vampire would actually keep me glued to the set for an entire week? The combination of Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris provides one wild, unpredictable, although ultimately exhausting trip that includes just about everything but the kitchen sink--virgins, romance, vampires, serial killers, shapeshifters, rednecks, goths, sex and more sex, drugs, exorcisms, fangbangers, fundamentalist, etc.

Tough workout in just 25 minutes
I highly recommend this workout for anyone looking for a challenging workout in only 25 minutes. The three separate workouts on this DVD build in intensity and are tough, but in a good way. Jillian does a good job pushing you to work hard, while not coming off as annoying like other home workouts I've tried. I started by completing the level one workout just once and figured I could skip ahead and do level two the next time. I am surprised and excited to say I am going to have to go back to level one for a while. This means I will be able to use this DVD for quite some time!
GREAT 20 Minute Workout!
This is a GREAT 20 minute work out for someone who is just getting started... you may think it is too challenging but Jillian pushes you through it! I personally like how her moves are not super complicated - so you can easily follow along and not spend all your time figuring out the move- but actually working out! She also incorporates an ab work out which can easily get skipped if you are walking, jogging, doing the treadmill or bike. And finally one of the best things is you don't need tons of equipment - if you have carpet - just a towel and 2 small dumbbells. If you have hardwood floors you might have to get a matt. I say give it a try and you will love it!!
