4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Show May 2, 2005

By Jim M.

I had never seen ANTM until the Fall of 2004, having missed the first two seasons. I have zero interest in fashion, but heard that, as far as reality shows, it was one of the most entertaining. It was always being talked about and quoted in Entertainment Weekly. So, during an ad break in one of the early episodes of LOST, I flipped over to ANTM. I've never flipped back to LOST and have been watching ANTM ever since.

The show is incredibly entertaining. And season 1 (which I had never seen until it was released on DVD) is a great season. You have all sorts of conflicts. The devout Christians vs the atheist being the biggest one.

The DVDs are well put together. Three discs. Four episodes on the first two and the finale on the final disc.

The only extras are three, short featurettes (each 5-10 minutes in length). One about the casting, one about the making of the show, and a final one about the two Jay's. They are fun, but nothing special. To be honest, when it comes to TV on DVD, I'm more interested in the show than any extras so I'm not upset with the set.

The set is well worth picking up. Even if you don't care about fashion or modelling. The cast makes the show work. A very entertaining series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Walk like you're selling it and the Rent is due Tonight! March 17, 2005

By Brett D. Cullum VINE™ VOICE

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL (ANTM for short) was brought in during the Summer of 2003 for 9 episodes, and became a huge hit for UPN. And why not? The first season showed 10 beautiful women who ranged from an atheist brainy waif to a bald black lesbian and some Bible thumpers - all put through their paces and taught how to walk and pose - let the catfights begin! It was great television and a surprise hit that did well with women and men for being fun, smart, and interesting. The DVDs offer all nine broadcast episodes, a look at the casting process, a recap of the first season, and a feature on the two Jays (make-up man and catwalk coach). It's on three DVDs, and the shows look like when they aired (a little spotty in places, but bright and colorful). It takes a lot to be a model, and this show proved it. The girls faced bikini waxes, posing with snakes, nudity, and being set loose alone in Paris with tons of appointments and no directions. This is a great show no matter what you think of models! Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for women March 14, 2005

By leeeee

I have been watching this show ever since it's first season and I have gotten 4 people hooked on the show, two which are straight men. This season has some amazing great characters for television: a religious nut, the all american blonde, the brainiac, etc.. The show gives the girls different photo shoots everyweek which are challenges within themselves and you get to see how they are GREAT and how they AREN'T. The main reason why this show will be adicting to anyone that watches it is if you are critical of yourself you will definately love this show. Everyone has their option of how this girl could have done one task better than the other. And like those who watch Survivor or any other reality show, you find yourself rooting for at least one of the girls to wub and waiting for others to finally leave.
