Advantages: Fantastic Storylines
Disadvantages: Gag Reel

...series 1 & 2 of One Tree Hill, as the packaging is smaller, because there are 2 DVD discs in each case (Rather than 6 separate cases like series 1 & 2 ). This makes it easier to store on shelving. When you look on the extra features of this DVD box set it says that there is a "Gag Reel", but to be honest it did not make me laugh! I thought with 3 series of One Tree Hill filmed, and no "Gag Reels" on the other box sets that there would be more bloopers, ...

Disadvantages: LOST can be extremely confusing if you're not in the mood

...need to convince you that LOST is a truly incredible, dramatic, and ultimately addictive programme. The Season Two boxset is perfect for all lost junkies. The bonus material, unseen footage, and added extras all add to the LOST experience.

New characters are introduced and there is alot more trauma to come! The show has ...

...anywhere. I waited patiently for the Season to get going whilst my finger hovered over FF button on the remote. The Season eventually did get going and produced some worthy and memorable episodes, but the Show as a whole didn't grip me the way Seasons 1 through 3 did. Maybe it was my expectations that were at fault, the Sopranos had raised the crossbar so high that it was nay on impossible to sustain the momentum. At least that was my initial impression ...
