4.0 out of 5 stars Spectres, voices from the other side and out-of-body experiences, March 8, 2008

This review is from: Beyond Reality - The First Season (DVD)

BEYOND REALITY appeared on the USA cable network for two seasons. Forty-four half-hour episodes aired between 10/1/91 and 3/1/93. The show centered on two university-based parapsychologists, portrayed by Shari Belafonte (as Laura Wingate) and Carl Marotte (as J.J. Stillman) and their explorations of poltergeists, telekinesis and other such eerie phenomena. Also appearing infrequently was Nicole de Boer (as Celia Powell).

MCE's DVD set of BEYOND REALITY contains all 20 Season #1 episodes plus two from the second season. They probably did this to evenly divide this program's catalog into lots of 22, but short of consulting J.J and Laura, we can't know for certain if a Season #2 collection is in the foreseeable future.


THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER - Complete Series consists of 65 episodes-- all based on show host Bradbury's short stories. It's a little-seen and fascinating 1980's anthology of sci-fi and fantasy that featured such fine actors as William Shatner, Jeff Goldblum, Leslie Nielson and Peter O'Toole.

2.0 out of 5 stars Goosebumps For Dolts, I Mean Adults, June 30, 2008

By 

Emerson Shiff "oldpunkswebzine" (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beyond Reality - The First Season (DVD)

I've watched three episodes so far, spread out to see if it improved after the first episode. Not really, but the actors are generally decent. The lead actor doesn't give off much charisma. Pretty much everything reminds me of episodes of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps I watched with my nephew, especially the quality of writing and direction. The stories are so thin they barely support their half-hour running time.

I have no memories of this show, and it probably helps to retain a strong sense of nostalgia about it. I suffer from nostalgia more than anyone, so enjoy this all you want if you want to. I mostly wanted to point out that Beyond Reality = Goosebumps. It sells for $8.47, which sounds about right.
