I never got around to watching “Important Things with Demetri Martin” when it aired its first season on Comedy Central earlier this year because I have far too many shows I love to watch and I figured it would be an average or maybe slightly above average comedy. I was happy to receive a review copy of the first season set since I did want to give the show a chance. After watching all seven season one episodes in a row, I was surprised by how much I wound up liking the show. I definitely won’t be waiting for the DVD to hit shelves come season two.

Being a huge fan of Lost, I was eagerly anticipating Fringe’s premiere last fall. Since I have pretty much liked everything that J.J. Abrams has ever made I thought there was no chance that I wasn’t going to love Fringe. Well I was a little disappointed by Fringe’s first couple of episodes. It was still a good show but it failed to be a great show. Then the second half of the season came around and Fringe quickly became a great series. Now fans of Fringe can relive the season on Blu-Ray or people who have never seen Fringe or gave up on it too quickly can catch up on Fringe for what appears to likely be a great season two.
