Seen for four seasons on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] – Home Movies is now on DVD in a deluxe 3-disc set! Home Movies Season One features the first 13 episodes of the favorite series seen on Cartoon Network’s [adult swim]. The irreverent animated comedy hit television series chronicles the life of pint-sized, aspiring filmmaker, Brendon Small. Brendon - a jaded third grader who happens to have the brain of a twenty-something - uses his video camera to cope with the trials of his eight-year-old life. Plus these special features: -Interviews with Brendon Small, Jon Benjamin and Loren Bouchard - Real home-made short films by Home Movies stars Brendon Small and Jon Benjamin -Animated menus from the Soup2Nuts creative team -Commentaries from the cast and creators -Closed Captioning -Animatics (episode storyboards) -Animation Galleries

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

115443 Features: -Telestrations Party Game. -Telestrations is the hilarious new sketch, pass and guess party game . -Players simultaneously draw what they see and guess for uproarious laughter. -Unpredictable outcomes every time. -Includes: 8 erasable Felestrations' sketch books, 8 erasable markers, 8 eraser pads. -2,400 Telestrations' words on 200 cards, card box, 90 second plastic sand timer, die and instructions. -For 4 to 8 players. -Ages 12 to adult. Specifications: -Material: Plastic. -Overall dimensions: 10'' H x 10'' W x 3'' D.

Telestrations is the visual equivalent of the classic school-yard game "telephone." It's a fun-filled sketching game in which everyone's attempts at "art" can turn hilarious. The game starts with a secret word that is passed from player to player. As the word is sketched, interpreted, and then sketched again, it undergoes a visual transformation that will surprise and delight everyone. Designed for players ages 13 and up, Telestrations is sure to be a hit at parties. Telestrations Ages: 13+ Requires: 4 to 8 players What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Novelty factor: The Good: Easy-to-learn game with cleverly designed, reusable game pieces. The Challenging: Scoring system caters to competitive players; others may wish to avoid it altogether. In a Nutshell: A creative and funny visual equivalent of classic game of "Telephone." Telestrations turns the classic schoolyard game of "Telephone" into a hilarious sketching game. With each guess, players get further from the original, intended interpretation. View larger. Eight Players for Maximum Hilarity Telestrations is designed for 4 to 8 players. As with the classic game "Telephone," the bigger the group, the more confusing -- and funny -- things can get. Gameplay requires little more than the included erasable markers and sketch books. Each sketch book contains eight erasable pages, and each page is labeled with either an "S" (for sketch) or a "G" (for guess). The spiral binding allows you to flip pages before passing the sketch book to the next player, and the label lets that player know whether to sketch or guess. Aside from the occasional unrepressed snicker, gameplay is silent until the final results are revealed. The erasable markers have a fine point to allow true artists to flourish. Clean-up cloths are provided, as is a timer and a deck of 144 cards, each of which contains six "secret" words. Gameplay: Friendly or Competitive Mode? Much like "Telephone," Telestrations leaves a lot of participants scratching their heads. One player's sketch of a pretzel might end up looking more like a ribbon, and that ribbon might evolve into a banana peel. Only rarely does the final guess match the original word, so playing Telestrations is almost always a delightful comedy of errors. While the game is easy to learn, scoring can get a bit complicated. The instruction manual describes two different modes of gameplay: friendly and competitive. The friendly mode awards points based on the most creative and hilarious drawings, a subjective determination that can lead to either a fun debate or an irritating disagreement, depending on who is playing. In either case, a simple democratic vote may be necessary to speed things up. The competitive mode awards points to players whose sketch helps another player win a point. This determination is straightforward enough, but going back over the drawings and assessing points may be tedious for those who would rather simply laugh at the results. Anyway you decide to play it, Telestrations will bring out the artists in your friends and family, along with lots of loud laughter. What's in the Box Telestrations game instructions, 8 erasable sketch books, 8 erasable markers, 4 eraser cloths, 144 cards in card box, 90-second sand timer, and die. Designed for 4-8 players, Telestrations features intuitive, reusable game pieces for a great experience.View larger.
