How I met your mother series 1

Advantages: Funny, a good sit com with a few good storylines
Disadvantages: Trying to be the "new" friends.

...who we are told at some point in the show, is NOT the children's mother (so to me Ted and Robyns relationships are pointless as we know all along it's not going to work out somewhere along the line- this isn't a spoiler by the way, it is openly broadcast on the show when the children ask if Robyn is their mother!). The shows story isn't really believeable, for it to take 5 series (and it's still not over) so 5 years to tell your kids how you met their mother is too long for this kind fo story to take, you wouldn't go into so much detail, and you'd simply say I met her this way. But it is an interesting story and your always waiting for Ted to meet a woman who he falls for. This first story is pretty much establishing the story and all of the characters. There are 22 episodes in the first series, although this is the first series...

.''.lynn...i've stood on a spike..' Alan Partridge series 2

Advantages: SILLY ,STUPID and VERY FUNNY 'STEVE COOGAN'
Disadvantages: They only made 2 series

...I'M ALAN PARTRIDGE series 2 Written By PETER BAYNHAM,STEVE COOGAN and ARMANDO LANNUCCI Stars STEVE COOGAN as ALAN PARTRIDGE. SERIES 2 Has 6 episodes Alan Partridge has failed at TV presenting and so he has moved onto radio his current position is ''the third best slot'' on a Norwich Radio Station. Lets Just say ,Alan has his own style and way of saying and doing things.He doesn't think much before he says or does something either to offend someone or embarrass himself ,he is full of catch phrases and I mean you will no doubt find yourself using some of them in every day use after watching the series. 'Cash Back' 'back of the net' 'gotta laugh when you fall of a sofa' 'don't laugh.. you've broken your neck' 'ooo ya gonna have a good time' Better not list them all ,but that is a small few Alan really does have a bad case...

  The Apple Of My i

Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.
Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.

...I had been waiting for this day for some time. My 18 month contract with T-Mobile is coming up for renewal next week, however having had problems gaining reception in my area I'd opted to look elsewhere for a new contract. A few weeks back my problems were solved when I was shopping around to try and find the best mobile contract, and discovered that O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying out a further £35 a month for the contract...

Wish I had watched the series on TV!

Advantages: sooooooo many of them!
Disadvantages: some episodes don't come together good!

...I presume you are very surprised by the fact that I am actually reviewing a box set, but I can?t help it, I was given this one for Christmas and if you do not like my review on this then I would like help due to the fact that this sort of review is very new to me. And a few more box sets are on their way. I got interested in Charmed due to some of my friends as they couldn?t stop talking about the TV Programme. So I wanted to start watching them on TV, only problem was, was that it was like the 3rd series in and therefore could not really start watching it for the first time, so I decided to check out the prices at HMV and Zavvi up town, but they were £20.00 each and I never had enough money for them, then all of a sudden Christmas 2008 popped up, and the friend I went to town with had bought me the box set and I was really happy but...

Review of Charmed - Series 1 (Box Set) (DVD)

Aha, it's none other than I'm Alan Partridge (series 1)

Advantages: Stays funny after several views. Good value for money.
Disadvantages: Too few episodes.

...garage), he somehow manages to alienate them in his own inimitable way. For anybody who has seen Partridge before, then this is certainly a must, as in my opinion it is probably the best series of the Alan Partridge saga. Besides the 6 half-hour episodes included, the DVD also has a second disc dedicated to special features and extras, including a huge array of out-takes. On top of all this, the DVD is affordable to even the most discerning of budgets. At less than a tenner, for what it's worth, it could even be described without haste as a bargain. Overall, I would strongly recommend this as a comedy DVD that will stand out from the rest on the shelf of light entertainment. In the words of Partridge himself - 'ruddy bloody good'....

iPhone

Advantages: Great interface. Excellent Music Clarity.
Disadvantages: Limited Official Apps

...have Skype, Webtexting and Photo based apps in no time. The Installer interface is very user friendly. The call qulaity from the iPhone is satisfactory. Volume control can be hard to use when in a call especially if a case is being used (More on that later). Texting is surprisingly simple with the on screen keyboard. The iPhones touchscreen is like nothing before in its percision. on screen correction is made possible by iPhones inbuilt dictionary. Music is a large part of the iPhones selling point and in my opinion is the exact same clarity and timbre that we have come to expect from Apple. Volume control can be hard on the on screen volume control if you have larger fingers however. The interface is the exact same as the iTouch series. Web browsing on the iPhone is a dream with an inbuilt Safari browser. I have yet to meet a site...

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER - the series that can not be missed!

Advantages: great actors, fantasic story, excellent humor
Disadvantages: i cant find it

...This is really the best TV series, since the «Friends»! In the center is the story of architect Ted, who had decided to tell his children the story of how he met their mother.Kids not even suspect that history may be delayed. And all because the dad had decided to talk in detail about everything that was in his impetuous youth, which led him to meet with their mother. For example there is a Ted's best friend - Marshal, with whom they are friends since college, who is about to marry his long-standing girlfriend Lily. And they also happened a lot of interesting things. And Ted is a friend of Barney.And this tough loner really puller in itself almost half of the series! In general, look at it a pleasure, because the amazing Neil Patrick Harris playing a role very good! Script is also to be commended for the chips of all...

I'm Alan Partridge - Series 1

Advantages: Endless hours of humour!
Disadvantages: None what so ever!

...Firstly, before I begin, may I point out - only one review of this DVD before this one, bizarre! Surely more people out there love Alan Partridge?!? People thought it was all over for Alan since he shot dead a guest on 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', but no, he came 'bouncing back'. Despite living in the Linton travel tavern halfway between Norwich and London and hosting 'Up With The Partridge' on Radio Norwich (the 4am - 7am shift), he does his best to get his face back on TV, no matter what... Episode 1: A Room With Alan Alan's meal at the BBC with Tony Hayers trying to get a second series goes from bad to worse - from suggesting 'monkey tennis' and 'arm wrestling with Chaz & Dave' to asking Hayers to; 'Smell my cheese you mother!', having just splashed out on a new £324,000 house, with 'enough room to swing a tiger, but you...

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...

Final Part of an Epic First Series

Advantages: Superb characters
Disadvantages: Possibly too dark and too gruesome for some viewers

...I have liked CSI for quite a long time but never actually religiously watched it week after week. In fact to be perfectly honest despite really enjoying the programme I have only ever really watched the odd episode here and there. After getting Sky a few months back however I have been recording the re-run episodes of CSI and this is what eventually prompted me to purchase the first series. The first series comes in two box sets; parts 1 and 2. This review is for the box-set series 1:2 and therefore it is the last eleven episodes of the first series, contained over three discs that I will be focusing on. CSI first hit TV screens in 2000 and since then has become a massive hit spawning two similar series?, CSI New York and CSI Miami, as well as numerous video games, board games and even figurines. The original CSI however is my...
