DVD Reviews of The Girls Next Door - Season 2
DVD Review: Hef and the girls are back for 16 more, well made, funny and addictive episodes.
Summary: 5 Stars
How can I give 5 stars to something that hasn't even been released yet? It's simple, really. I loved the Season 1 individual episodes and DVD extras, and also thoroughly enjoyed every one of the 16 UNCENSORED Season 2 episodes (about 23 min. each) that I just finished watching (shown by Canada's StarTv channel). According to the press releases for the Season 2 DVD's, they're going to again be uncensored, in full-screen, and include more of the same jam-packed extras as before. So, as long as they don't screw anything up, it's going to be a sure-fire success.
The extras include: 48 deleted scenes totalling about 67 minutes in length, 7 extra minutes of the Halloween party episode, a special combined and extended version of the first two (Season 2) episodes (48 minutes long-includes some different scenes added to it), bloopers(as hidden Easter Eggs-see end of my review, for how to view them), commentary by the three girls on all of the 16 episodes and more.
I'd give the Season #2 episodes 4 stars (same grade as the Season 1 episodes), even if there were NO Dvd extras, only because many of the episodes are similar to the Season 1 episodes. There's the Halloween party again and some of the trips the girls and Hef take remind me too much of the Season 1 trips (even though they do travel to many different places). That's not to say that they didn't offer anything new, but at times I wish something totally unexpected happened that required a new direction in the series. I imagine Holly's eventual pregnancy will do the trick for future season episodes. However, I still was eagerly looking forward to each new episode and wasn't bored at all. It's all still very well edited, superior, quality stuff. Bravo!
If you enjoyed Season 1, then get ready for 16 more of the same funny and addictive episodes that you've come to expect from this series, filled with just enough nudity and cursing (sweet, sweet Kendra), so that you're still satisfied, yet, not totally bored with it all. Now that we know the girls so well, no time is wasted with the sometimes dull character development stuff that naturally happens in first seasons. These girls stay virtually the same for the entire series, except for Bridget, who is now the more interesting of the three and most likely will be the one appearing on more television shows (Extra!,etc.) than the others. She's bright, well-spoken and has a killer sweet smile that almost never quits.
Yes, Kendra is still the true star of this series and still has her signature hilarious laugh and killer body, but she still seems just as immature (which is good for the series) at 21, as she was at 19, and still lacks the patience to concentrate for greater than five minutes at a time. I don't think she's as hilarious as she was in Season 1, but that could be just because I've gotten used to her. I still love her laugh, and also the way almost every time she passes by a mirror or is getting dressed, she can't resist shaking her booty and marvelling at it in the mirror. Priceless stuff.
Holly's smart, stubborn and very creative, but seems more interested in having a baby than anything else. If Holly left the show I wouldn't really care. She's just taking away screen time from the other two more interesting girls in my opinion. Although, I still like her enough, and she does offer good contrast for the other two girls. So, if she left, the chemistry of the show would probably suffer.
Hef's in the episodes more often this time around, so they do seem more complete, more natural and smoother overall. However, in one episode, Hef does seem too fascinated with one of Kendra's childhood videos that he watches for the first time with her family (including the grandfather), so that he comes across as seeming very creepy. Kinder, or better editing, would have helped out there. Yuck...just the thought of that scene still creeps me out.
I haven't seen any of the Season 3 episodes yet, but I'll gladly watch those as well, when I get the chance. In the meantime, go watch Season 2 on Dvd, you'll be glad you did!

Rating: NR

Media Type: DVD
The Girls Next Door: Season Two offers 16 more episodes of Holly, Bridget, and Kendra's pranks and party planning as Hef's main girls at the Playboy Mansion. Just like with Season One, watching Season Two is like eating junk food, so sensational and silly are the three ladies commenting on their glamorous day-to-day activities. Though the novelty of the show has worn off, more appearances by Hugh Hefner and a gained understanding of the trio's dynamics--equally friendly and competitive--helps the show transcend utter banality. In fact, the show feels more like Dynasty, now an intricate combination of reality television and soap opera. More shown aggravations amongst the ladies, and more glimpses of Hef's love for this unfolding drama in his own home, make the show a fine example of American sensationalism. Two episodes are dedicated to Hef's 80th birthday extravangaza, making it the most significant story in the second season. Wonderful footage of previous Hefner birthdays and previous playmates frolicking nearly nude adds heft to Playboy's historical significance. It's astonishing to think that this icon has enjoyed such a lifestyle for half a decade, and truly amazing to see Hefner now, on television, touring Europe in "I See London, I See France," dancing in nightclubs, or hosting a slumber party in "Sleepwear Optional." The girls, too, have seemingly settled into their careers when prepping to host their own exercise shows in "Mutiny On the Booty," during which Kendra, the biggest ditz of the three, shines with her martial arts demonstrations. As tempting as it is to choose favorites among the ladies in Season Two, one begins to realize that it's their metaphorical ménage-a-trois that keeps the show sexy, and that's what it's all about. ?Trinie Dalton
