Hearts Afire - The Complete Series

Hearts Afire
In the fall of 1992, the late John Ritter (Three's Company) returned to television in the political sitcom Hearts Afire, playing John Hartman, a senator's aid and a recently divorced father of two boys. His life is flipped upside down when a down-on-her-luck journalist Georgie Anne Lahti (played by Night Court's Markie Post) walks into his office looking for a job and ends up staying at his house. Sparks fly between the two and they eventually tie the knot before the end of the first season. The second season changed the series setting from Washington D.C. to John's southern home town, where they buy a local newspaper office.

Billy Bob Thornton costarred for the entire series' run as Billy Bob Davis. Two and a Half Men's Conchata Ferrell joined the cast during the second season as Dr. Madeline Stoessinger; although she did play another character during the first season for two episodes.

Mill Creek Entertainment has recently released the complete series with...

great to have in my dvd collection.
being a great john ritter, markie post fan, i was excited to see this released on dvd. the first season is wonderfull quality, & the following seasons faded as they were downloaded appearently from some other kind of format. resulting in somewhat poorer quality. still not a bad deal for the price.

John Ritter take two
After the successful Three's Company and the disaster that was Three's A Crowed...John Ritter graced the our tvs once again with Hearts Afire. The show is better than I remembered it. It has a great cast and is rather funny. I give the show 5 stars but drop it 2 stars due to the poor picture quality of the episodes. I've seen better transfers from older tv shows.

Guns - The Evolution of Firearms - Blu-ray

Interesting but too American-centered
This program is well-made and quite interesting, particularly its five first episodes which cover the period through World War I. Unfortunately, the last two episodes which deal with World War II and the modern era are far too centered on American guns to the exclusion of almost all others. While it's understandable that, because of the ever expanding variety in types of guns, a progressively greater selection must be exercized to remain within the duration of the hourly episodes, this does not explain why precious minutes should be liberally expanded in the anecdotal description of the combat performance of certain weapons while other important types of guns are completely ignored. For example Episode 6 which covers World War II provides a (far too) lengthy description of the combat performance of the M-1 Garand, but does not even mention such ground-breaking weapons as the British Sten and German MP38/40 from which modern submachine guns are derived, or the the German Sturmgewher...

Great care was taken to keep the visuals authentic and accurate
There was a clear and consistent effort to be as accurate and authentic as possible in the creation of this DVD series. The historical recreations are intense, layered and detailed with great care in the special effects and historical truth and authenticity along with the powerful voice of narrator Coby Batty and other voice actors help to bring these stories of how firearms have been used and developed (thru use in war and the military) to life for a mass audience - from ancient chinese invention of gunpowder thru the middle ages and the new world, to the American Revolution onto the Civil War, WW1 and WW2... Vietnam era to the invention of the two biggest weapons of our day -- the AK-47 and the M-16... to today's War in Iraq and Afghanistan. Three historical experts comment during all 7 parts of the series.
