Every once and awhile a show comes along that while never getting a huge audience, gets a very devote audience. thirtysomething is one of those shows. I absolutely knew nothing about the show and had only heard the name once or twice before I received the first season in the mail. Before checking out the series I did a little research and discovered that there were a lot of fans of the series who were patiently waiting years for the show to be released on DVD. Well that day has come so fans of the series can now enjoy the first season again on DVD.

White Collar Review

The good news is that once again Supernatural improved upon the previous season.
