 Saints Behaving Badly: The Cutthroats, Crooks, Trollops, Con Men, and Devil-Worshippers Who Became Saints $15.95 Saints Behaving Badly is poorly written, repetitious, extremely light, and boring. The title suggests that the reader will learn some important history about the lives of the saints. Instead, we get some very cursory treatment of the lives of mostly unheard-of saints. The writing is so elementary that it appears to have been aimed at a middle school audience, and I learned nothing that I didn't already know or couldn't care less about. Save your money.  Men Behaving Badly - The Complete Series $34.99 I was a fan of the first season with Ron Eldard and Justine Bateman. Like most of the reviewers here, I enjoyed their chemistry and I thought a number of the episodes were very funny (I used to watch them over and over on my VHS tapes until I lost them). I also am glad to see it on DVD. I discovered this show midway into the first season, and I missed the earlier (the ones with Julia Campbell) episodes. I don't recall seeing these in syndication (don't know if this show even made it to syndication, so it is a real treat to see the first Season 1 episodes. I also agree with a lot of the reviewers in that this show lost a lot of momentum with the departure of Ron Eldard and Justine Batemen. I didn't really take to the replacements, and the show lost a lot of its humor (which for me was created by the interactions of Eldard, Schneider, and Bateman, as much as from the writing). Even though I lost interest early into the Season 2 run, I did watch all of the Season 2 episodes this time around, and most of them were entertaining, just not as funny as the earlier Season 1 episodes. If you watch the last unaired episode, Carpe Dino, you will see a very young Drake Bell (Drake & Josh). Either way, if you enjoyed this show during the mid-90's, this DVD set will bring back these episodes, and you will also get to see the 7 unaired ones. |
