The City is the Star
1 of 1 found this helpful The cast is fun & enjoyable to watch, each with their own quirks & fun things to watch, but the real star of the series is the City of New Orleans itself. I bought the complete season primarily to see the Special Features, and actually they are the best reasons to buy any "complete season" DVDs. Here we learn that the producers, directors, writers, crews, and the actors all agree that at least half of every shooting week (8 days) has to be shot on location in New Orleans. It's that necessary. N.O. is a very special city with it's very own "specialnesses" (from Monty Python) which can't be duplicated in a studio's back lot. The actors seem to clearly relish that fact in their performances.
My only frustrations with the NCIS franchise is that there is only 42 minutes available for each of the actual episodes. If, in an ideal world, each episode could last, say, 55 minutes, the episodes would be that much more complete (fuller?). Best example I can give is eating a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in only ten minutes because the ball game is about to start. It's just too rushed & the full enjoyment is often not there. But, I'll keep on buying each season's DVDs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Rock Show really rocks - Macca at the top of his game!!
Macca's 1976 US tour has FINALLY become available. The bits and pieces we see on YouTube has been whetting an appetite that has never been filled for 40 years. Now we have been sated. Here Macca is at his peak. His singing & playing is as good as anyone could hope for. Same with his enthusiasm - he is having FUN. The musicians are also excellent & are enjoying themselves, especially the horn section. Today, we are used to Macca singing at least 12-17 Beatle songs in his concerts. In this concert Macca is focused on establishing "his" songs. So out of 28 songs only 5 are "his" Beatle songs. Bottom line, "ROCK SHOW" is easily worth having in your collection. You will listen or watch it multiple times. So, GO FOR IT!
