“A team of special agents, operating outside the military chain of command, must investigate any crime with pieces of evidence connected to Navy and Marine Corps personnel, regardless of rank or position. Character-driven stories, with surprising twists, play a large role in the second season of NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service). The NCIS team of investigators is led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), an experienced investigator with sometimes unorthodox, but always effective methods. Working under Gibbs are Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo (Michael Weatherly); Special Agent Caitlin Todd (Sasha Alexander); Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette); and NCIS’s medical examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum). Additionally, joining the staff this season will be Special Agent Timothy McGee (Sean Murray) whose communication and computer skills outweigh his naiveté. Whether investigating murder or espionage, the NCIS goes global in their quest to solve all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.”

“Hey! Here’s a DVD of that show that guy mentioned to you at the thing that one time but you couldn’t remember the name! Yeah, like it was that show about the guy who was a superhero and then he got some different job or something?! On “Adult Swim” on the Cartoon Channel!! And like, I heard that Astro gets attacked by wild dogs! OMG! LOL! EMOTICON!
Yes. Yes, it is. That show, not that channel. And this is that show’s DVD. Correction: Its second DVD. But, you’ll be happy to know, the first’s still being heavily pirated in China. So why not do your duty as an American and snag this one good and fast – if only to see whether that rumored single frame of a named Birdgirl is actually true? Unless you’re planning a trip to China sometime soon, then, well, we’d recommend just holdin’ off. Enjoy!”

This film was originally released in 1969. The following is from the DVD cover:
“It was the War to end all wars well not quite. For with the ricochet of one bullet, the entire course of human history was changed forever…Now, for the first time, Academy Award®-winner Richard Attenborough’s directorial debut is available on DVD. Based on the stage musical by the same name, Oh! What a Lovely War features a stellar cast that includes Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, John Mills, John Gielgud, Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave, Ian Holm, Dirk Bogarde and Susannah York. By fusing the surreal with the factual and juxtaposing savagely funny satire with quiet sorrow, Attenborough has created the oddest and most outstanding film ever made about the “game” that became World War One.”
