Product Description

Life in Perfection, Nevada, isn’t so perfect since the small town developed a very big problem with man-eating, morphing monsters. Luckily, the residents are up to the challenge in every earthshaking, action-packed episode of Tremors included in this 3-disc set. Inspired by the movies that have become beloved cult classics, this fun, thrilling TV series reveals more of the down ’n’ dirty battles as the locals attempt to coexist with the Graboids, Shriekers and Ass Blasters now on the "protected species" list, including a particularly large Graboid nicknamed "El Blanco." Add to the craziness a combination of secret labs, the gene-blending "Mixmaster" and the occasional fanatical tourist, and there’s never a dull moment in Perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!!, January 28, 2010

By	Gerald Sherwood - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tremors: Complete Series (DVD)

I've been waiting six years for this come out on DVD since it was tragically cancelled after only 13 episodes on the Sci-Fi channel and I was only left with my lo-fi VHS recordings. Sure I could have done the digital download from the Amazon store but I collect DVDs so that medium doesn't appeal to me. If you love Burt Gummer and the films then this a real treat. The show picks up after the third movie when El Blanco (the great white Graboid) is the only thing keeping Perfection, NV from being scooped up by land developers under eminent domain and introduces some new faces who have connections to the people killed in the films. The show has some hilarious moments and often times pits one stereotype of crazy IE: Burt Gummer against another stereotype of crazy IE: environmentalists, government bureaucrats, alien hunters, etc. all while monsters from the films make an appearance and creatures that are the product of compound made in a top secret abandoned lab start popping up. The show at the time was the highest rated show on the Sci-Fi channel and it really made me mad when I found out it was cancelled just because it didn't appeal to the target demographic of Farscape which the show replaced. I don't want to spoil too much but you'll also love Christopher Lloyd as the mad scientist/hermit and how he resembles his role from Back to the Future including a nod at this in one episode but I'm saying too much just buy it you won't be disappointed. :)

P.S. be on the lookout for Tremors 5 when it comes out on DVD this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars You get used to it, February 3, 2010

By	E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tremors: Complete Series (DVD)

Perfection, NV: A tiny western town of dust, sand... and giant carnivorous graboids burrowing underground.

And after three movies of battling the graboids, shriekers and ass-blasters, fans of the "Tremors" series finally got a (tragically short-lived) TV spinoff. "Tremors: The Complete Series" takes everything fun about the movies tacks in some conspiracies and freaky mutants -- there are a few mildly grating characters, but it's still deliciously fun and strange.

A new guy named Tyler Reed (Victor Browne) rolls into Perfection, intending to take over the Desert Jack Graboid Tours... just in time for El Blanco to go on a berserk feeding frenzy.

It isn't the last graboid-related problem -- Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and the other Perfectionites must deal with a gourmet assblaster, a scientist training shriekers to be rescue animals, a graboid attacking a town of UFO-fanatics, graboid-rights activists who claim the Perfectionites are killing El Blanco, and a pair of mob thugs who run afoul of El Blanco and lost a very important key.

And pretty soon there are even worse problems. Burt finds that a strange substance called MixMaster, leaked out of a secret laboratory, begins to infect the valley and turns the creatures into bizarre hybrids -- giant shrimps, omnivorous termite/maggots, a mineshaft "ghost," or an acid-spitting reptilian plant.

"Tremors: The Complete Series" was cancelled after only thirteen episodes, but those episodes are brilliant from beginning to end. And they have everything you'd expect from a Tremors series -- lots of big guns, explosions, orange goop, and highly imaginative ways to kill various monsters (including with weather balloons and tar).

For the record: the MixMaster, the secret lab and the eccentric old scientist all seem rather hokey, but soon they mesh nicely into the existing "Tremors" mythology. Think a funnier, lighter "X-Files" vibe. And the writers do an excellent job, weaving clever plots with plenty of action, a bit of tragedy (Cletus and Project 4-12), and lots of hilarious dry humor, especially regarding Burt ("Somebody get up on the wrong side of the bunker today?").

Gross is, as always, brilliant as the endearing survivalist Burt -- he has to start a survival school, wrangle with a hard-headed government rep, and deal with a town of hostile UFO-fanatics. Browne is decent as the new "everyman lead," and there are some solid supporting performances by Lela Lee, Marcia Strassman, Sarah Rafferty, and especially Christopher Lloyd as a wonderfully eccentric scientist-turned-desert-hermit.

Two of the cast aren't quite as endearing -- J.D. Walsh's pushy ubernerd just ends up being annoying. And Gladys Jimenez's Rosalita is a fun character (an ex-showgirl with a shady history) but sometimes it feels like she's there to run around in filmy shirts.

"Tremors: The Complete Series" has a couple bumps in the road, but overall it's a brilliant spinoff to the classic B-movie series. A must-see... or if you're a graboid, a must-eat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality, March 14, 2010

By	K. Wood (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tremors: Complete Series (DVD)

I love the series and the Tremors Intellectual Property as a whole.

However this DVD set is absolutely terrible.

The series was filmed in widescreen, and later cropped to full screen. You are getting the full screen deal with this DVD set. It is nearly unwatchable for me. I keep adjusting my TV settings hoping that it will get better, but it won't. It is so obvious that so much of the picture is missing because of the way it is cropped, it is absolutely terrible.

I have been looking forward to this DVD set for years, and now all my hopes are ruined because of the stupid aspect ratio. It is seriously nearly unwatchable. If I could, I would demand my money back directly from Universal.
