Richard Greene played Robin Hood in this British television series (1955-1960), starring as the upbeat and expansive fellow, with a superb small repertory troupe played different supporting roles. The interior backgrounds were mounted on wheels to facilitate fast shooting, and the studio was located near historic Runnymeade Meadow, the ideal locale for the outdoor scenes. Loosely based on the earlier Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn classic films about a forest bandit with a gang that steals from the rich and gives to the poor (that were based on poems and stories dating back 600 years), this children's show remains fondly remembered by those lucky enough to grow up with it.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseFull Screen - 1.33Audio: (unspecified) - English

In the early 1990s, the children's cable network Nickelodeon produced a spate of television series that were funny, smart, and never pandered to--or insulted the intelligence of--its predominantly pre-teen audience. Originating as series of shorts that aired during commercial breaks and then expanded to a full-length show, THE ADVENTURES OF PETE AND PETE was one of Nick's most imaginative outings. The offbeat series chronicled the suburban adolescence of two redheaded brothers with the same name--older brother Pete (Mike Maronna) and younger brother Pete (Danny Tamberelli)--in a surreal town populated by an oddball assortment of characters, including a militant Girl Scout, a lovelorn schoolbus driver, a housewife with a steel plate in her head, and a spandex-sporting strongman (the hilarious Toby Huss). The series also featured inspired guest turns by eccentric figures like Michael Stipe, Steve Buscemi, Debbie Harry, Iggy Pop, Adam West, Janeane Garofalo, and even Hunter S. Thompson. A quirky spin on the standard coming-of-age formula, THE ADVENTURES OF PETE AND PETE is resurrected in this collection of all eight episodes from the series' debut season.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

A popular spin-off of THE COSBY SHOW, A DIFFERENT WORLD followed the oldest Huxtable sibling, Denise (Lisa Bonet, HIGH FIDELITY), off to college at Hillman, a mostly Black university from which her parents and grandparents also graduated. The show was a catalyst for the careers of many unknowns, including Jada Pinkett (ALI), Marisa Tomei (ALFIE), Sinbad (JINGLE ALL THE WAY), and Kadeem Hardison (BIKER BOYZ), and was seminal in its concentration on the daily lives and issues of African-American college kids. In the first season, Denise struggles with her grades, as well as the difficulties of dorm life and love. Her roommate, Jaleesa (Dawn Lewis), is a 26-year-old divorcie with whom Denise at first has conflicts, but they soon become good friends, along with the talkative Maggie Lauten (Tomei). But Denise and her friends are often at odds with the wealthy, snobbish Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy). Finally, freshman Dwayne Wayne is the source of many laughs, as his persistent attempts to hit on women are constantly rebuffed. This show encapsulates the look, feel, and humor of the 1980s, and holds up today as either a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or a first-time discovery.
