Movie Reviews of St. Elsewhere - Season 1
Movie Review: ¡Una de las mejores series de la TV ochentera!
Summary: 5 Stars
Despues de esperar años y años para que se decidieran a sacar esta esperada coleccion, al fin recibi mi tan ansiado pedido. Vi esta serie cuando era apenas un adolescente, pero la recordaba muchisimo.
Ahora que tengo la oportunidad de volver a verla, entiendo por que me gustaba.
Cargada de una mezcla muy peculiar, entre el drama y la comedia, pero con historias profundas, y muy bien hechas. Todo esto en conjunto con una base de actores excelente. Vemos a un joven Denzel Washington despuntando su brillante carrera, asi como Howie Mandel, Ed Begley y muchos otros.
Realmente es un gusto poderla tener, y por supuesto que la recomiendo a todos, tanto a quienes la recuerdan, como a quienes en su dia no la vieron, pero gustan del Drama hospitalario. Creo que E.R. saco mucho de St. Elsewhere.
Movie Review: A Long Wait
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of the best TV shows ever produced. Eventhough this show first aired back in 1982 one can watch it today and feel like they are watching it for the first time.
One of the best features I like is that the episodes all have closed captioning or subtitles. Having poor hearing this has been a big plus when it comes to watching this series. This feature has prevented me from enjoying some of the other series I like, such as Homicide - Life on the Streets.
Of any of the shows from this period this should be a must one to have.
As I watch the first season shows I keeping thinking to the ending of the final show which probably has one of the most memorable endings.
Hopefully we will not have to wait for the other five seasons.
Movie Review: This was too good to be true....
Summary: 5 Stars
I wish the reviewers who were complaining about the quality of this DVD set would answer this question: Would you rather have the remaining seasons like this OR NOT AT ALL?
I've never cared much for DVD extras and "behind the scenes" junk. At least with this first season we got to watch all the episodes in better quality than any of the old VCR tapes floating around ebay. I shelled out the full price for this first season the week it came into stores and didn't regret it one bit. Now it appears there never will be any more of these great seasons on DVD :-(
There's nothing wrong with this product. The quality is fine. Better yet, the writing is superb (except for the bird-man, but his part is relatively minor).
Please--give us the rest of the series on DVD!
Movie Review: Cruddy packaging, but a great show
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with a previous reviewer who said that this *is* one of the great shows of all time, but the packaging is ghastly. Each DVD has two sides (be careful not to scratch!) and they're all squeezed into a scroungy, extremely cheap plastic casing.
And the other thing...
What a pity that they aren't releasing the rest of the shows. This is only the first season. Considering that this show originally aired 25 years ago, I think it's time.
All that aside, the acting, the writing and character development and plot lines is all abso-galootely first rate. Back in the day when my children were wee tiny, I'd stay up late to watch St. Elsewhere (on NBC) and it quickly became one of my favorite parts of an otherwise hectic week!
Movie Review: Finally ! The best TV series EVER is on DVD ! ! ! !
Summary: 5 Stars
Although it has been 20 years since I have seen this show, I remember it is the best ever. I was in my 20's, living in the city, and I would blow off a night of clubbing to stay home and watch it (the only TV show I would ever do this for). It really had a heart and soul. It was also very funny in places. Some of the scenes have really stuck with me like when Dr. Craig yelled at Dr. Ehrlich during heart surgery telling him, "Watch what your are doing, your are not cutting a roast here!" It will be interesting to see how the series has withstood the passage of time. I know I am pre-ordering the series and I can't wait to see it again. If you have ever seen the show, you know what I mean. If you haven't, check it out. I am sure you won't be disappointed.
