DVD Reviews of General Hospital: Night Shift - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I see a lot of people on here didn't like this dvd according to their reviews. Well I thought it was great! It wasn't all mob drama and stuff you see on the daily show, and the whole show actaully takes place IN THE HOSPITAL! That was kind of different from the daily show. I thought it was WAY more funnier than the regular show. Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson we're finally able to show their comedy sides and definitely made me laugh! If you are a Jason Morgan fan I think you will enjoy this! He is gorgeous in it!!DVD Review: it didn't suck as bad as it could of
Summary: 3 Stars
lets see how frons can piss gh fans off today shall we? I was happy that it wasn't super mob show. There were definitely some really good points to teh season such as Billy Dee Williams's Toussaint and Epiphany were a riot to watch. the music was great(I'm an audiophile music is important to me). you have Steve Burton's Jason actually seeming human. You have spinelli not being obsessed with lulu(Thank God). There's Doctor Lee's sex addiction which was a fun storyline until they made her have a breakdown.
On to the Ranting pissed off part of the review. Which reminds me what the **** happened to Doctor Ford, Doctor Winters, and Cody Paul if this crap bled onto GH? so many storylines between Night Shift and Gh and all the good ones got shafted. We end up with back to back to back Mob storylines. Night Shift was supposed to be an AU. Same characters as were on GH at the time while introducing some new ones and re introducing old ones. The Robin/Patrick relationship was great there wasn't a need to do what they did in this show to them. Patrick and Robin faught all the time, they had adventures like old gh, and major amounts of chemistry. They broke them up and and have Patricks character jump into a relationship with someone else who you don't see him having any chemistry with at all it was an outrage. Robins Baby Obsessions was like every Other Girl. You see a baby makes you want one. She just never thought she could have one and this women gave her the courage to want to try sometime in her future. one of the few storylines they rushed. Now they're at a turtles pace waiting for someone to discover claudia shot micheal... They gave up characters like Jolene(she was mid western and nuts and it could of been interesting to see what could happen) and Regina(who was just getting her confidence and had great oppurtunites for character growth and another one that had chemistry with Dr Leo Julian) to spotlight Leyla and then when they do bleed stuff over to GH they don't use them(as you can tell now by the fact that the only time they used her character was when she got shot and was told she is the spitting image of Johnny's mother and also the fact that she's dead now). Dr Leo had this whole chemistry with Maxie Jones Too. We don't see any of that again, and on top of all of that he and Dr. Archer disappeared down the hallway of doom.
lets not touch on season 2 cause then I'll go into a rant on what they did to leo's character(thank god it was a recast that's all I'll say on that)...
DVD Review: For the saving grace of Kimberly McCullough ( Robin )
Summary: 1 Stars
I hated GH: NightShift. No! I dispise GH: NightShift and everything about it, but for the saving grace of Kimberly McCullough ( Robin ). Practicly everything Guza and his crew wrote for Robin, did to Robin and how unattractive tptb attempted to have Robin appear was horrible BUT failed because of Miss McCullough's undeniable talents as an actress. Miss McCullough shines no matter how bad the writing is and delivers no matter how awful the circumstances are. She is a true talent and a real beauty that cannot be denied or tossed aside. Kimberly McCullough( Robin Scorpio ) is a daytime legend, anyone whose grown-up with her and her character can atest to that. Guza and his crew really need to wake up and realize that trying to distroy Robin Scorpio on NightShift or on GH is one of the biggest mistakes he can and will ever make! Her fans and the loyal "Scrubs" fans WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. And if he and Frons want the ratings to rise than they should stop trying to hang Robin & Patrick out to dry.

This is a great collection to own. I am glad that I bought it and hope that there is a series 2. If so I will be first in line for the collection.DVD Review: great

This is a great item tied in with General Hospital. I really liked this, it answered questions that were never addressed on the General Hospital show itself.
Description of General Hospital: Night Shift - The Complete First Season
From the creative minds who brought you the Emmy? Award-winning daytime drama General Hospital comes the highly anticipated SOAPnet primetime spin-off General Hospital: Night Shift. If you can t get enough of the excitement, schemes and romance of Port Charles during the day, you ll get an even more steamy and intimate look on the night shift. When the sun goes down in Port Charles, matters of life and death grip the hospital. And when the sun rises the next day, nothing is ever the same as the day before not for the patients or the doctors. Featuring an all star cast, including celebrated actor Billy Dee Williams as well as Steve Burton, Kimberly McCullough and Jason Thompson, Night Shift goes to places General Hospital s never gone before. Follow the trials and tribulations of the hospital staff as they cope with drug addiction, parenthood, promiscuity and a host of other personal complications. Their conflicts are heightened by a series of unfortunate accidents at the hospital that put everyone s lives at risk. Own every episode of Season One, including a behind-the-scenes peek at your favorite daytime stars, on this 3-disc DVD set. Paging all doctors: working the Night Shift at General Hospital is not for the faint of heart.Spawned from the Emmy Award-winning day-time drama General Hospital, General Hospital: Night Shift ran for one season in 2007 on the cable network SOAPnet. Taking some of the young, sexy favorites from the original soap opera and adding in a few new characters, the nighttime soap focuses on Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough)--an HIV-positive physician who is impeccable at her job but troubled when it comes to love. Like many popular nighttime dramas (Melrose Place, Dynasty), Night Shift is big on deception, addictions, promiscuous behavior, and cleavage. Port Charles--another General Hospital offshoot that aired on ABC's daytime schedule--veered away from the hospital format and added in a subplot involving vampires and the occult. Night Shift sticks close to the General Hospital formula of love, lust, and a few operations thrown in for good measure. It moves at a quicker pace than its namesake, but that also may be one of the show's biggest drawbacks. Soap fans like their plot lines to move along at a languid pace. Since Night Shift aired weekly rather than daily, each episode seems more like a synopsis with too much going on. One minute Robin and her boyfriend are fine. The next, he's left her. Too much time is spent on a student nurse who may also be murdering patients, and too little is devoted to Robin's unhealthy attachment to a sick baby. As for the always debonair Billy Dee Williams, he is completely underused in his role as a sage-like janitor. (You read that right.) McCullough, who won her first Daytime Emmy at the age of 11, has literally grown up on General Hospital. Though the Night Shift plotlines are over the top even by soap standards, she shines in her role, adding levity where needed and doing a fine job of making some silly lines believable. --Jae-Ha Kim
