DVD Reviews of Home Movies - Season One
DVD Review: Excellent series!
Summary: 5 Stars
This shows might look stupid at first glance, but give it a chance. It looked like crap to me at first, but when I started watching it, I fell in love with it. I like Brendon Small and his overly dramatic life. I like his dedication to his movies, and how even though his movies are terrible, he doesn't know it. And it's funny watching 8-year-old Brendon treat the events of his life as though they are all serious situations that must be analyzed. Jason is hilarious with all the off the wall things he says. Coach McGuirk is my favorite character of all. He says what he wants, often making himself look like a complete idiot, though he thinks he knows it all. He hates soccer and children, yet he teaches children's soccer. It's especially funny how he confides his problems in his only true friend, Brendon. Maybe it's cause the coach is really just a big child himself. The comedic chemistry between the two is always laugh-out-loud great.
So buy this season and the three that followed, or just get the complete series set. I promise, this is a show worth owning every episode of.

Summary: 5 Stars
I remember first watching Home Movies on Adult Swim(who was also in its early stages of development) and thinking "Hm, this show is kinda funny."(What an understatement.) Every Sunday and Thursday they would run this show, I watched it and it grew on me. Season One is one of the best seasons featuring some of the most hilarious outtakes from the the gang. "Brendan Gets Rabies", "Law and Borders", "Art of the Sucker Punch", and "Through a Fish Eye Lens" are some of my immediate favorites, but after watching any episode a number of times all of them could become my favorites.
Another great aspect of home movies are the cool musical numbers placed in some of the eps performed by the dim-witted Duane and his band Scab. For instance in "Law and Borders", Brendon is sentenced to write an essay explaining to the judge how he was sorry for causing the accident he was involved in. Instead the kids decide to make a hilarious, dramatized spoof of the accident and then the kids rock out at the end: "Don't hit children don't run them over, let them live their lives let them get older!x2 Brendon's cool, he didn't break the rules, he was just riding his bike, they tried to take his life!" That was an epic win!
If you're a true fan of this series and you're tired of waiting for reruns on AS or frustrated with waiting for videos to load on youtube or veoh, do yourself justice and treat yourself with this awesome dvd set.
DVD Review: A Good Choice.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend the entire run of this series. Great work.

Home Movies: Season One is a television treasure that almost wasn't. After five episodes in 1999, the bright and sometimes brilliant animated satire was yanked from UPN's schedule and was rescued by Cartoon Network's late-evening "Adult Swim" programming, where it thrived for a few more seasons. Created by Loren Bouchard and Brendon Small (who provides the autobiographical voice of the show's 8-year-old hero, Brendon Small), Home Movies concerns the angst-ridden adventures of a fatherless boy who can't quite handle typical childhood challenges (school, sports) but, in his stumbling way, is advancing toward his dream of becoming a filmmaker and actor. With a manner and voice suggesting a cross between David Spade and Woody Allen, Brendon struggles--sometimes with sardonic wit, sometimes with heartbreaking candor--to protect his shaky sense of personal security while also trying to be taken seriously as an artist.
Brendon lives with his single mom, Paula (wonderfully played by Paula Poundstone until episode 6, when she was replaced by the equally effective Janine Ditullio), whose own neuroses peak during some very funny moments. Among these is a school meeting that finds her removing her sweater and spouting a string of obscenities, a writing class that ends repeatedly in make-out sessions with a nameless slinger of sexy doggerel, and a disastrous date with Brendon's soccer coach, a hefty bully and all-around loser, John McGuirk (H. Jon Benjamin). McGuirk is Brendon's foil throughout the series, a drunk with rage problems and dubious ethics who often leans on the young hero as a confidante when he isn't making the poor kid run extra laps. The show's dialogue comes fast, biting, and painfully honest, characters frequently talk at the same time, and some of the best material is in the short dramas that Brendon tapes with friends Melissa (Melissa Bardin Galsky) and Jason (also H. Jon Benjamin). Home Movies is not to be missed by anyone who enjoys urbane comedy, animated or otherwise. --Tom Keogh
