All Systems are go for Season Two of My Life as a Teenage Robot. Follow the adventures of Mobile Response Unit of the Worldwide Crisis Center, XJ9 – Jenny to you and me – as she tries to become an ordinary teen despite her obvious differences (hey, she’s a robot!). Review: Hidden Gem - This show is awesome Review: It's been a very long time since My Life as a Teenage Robot first hit the airwaves of the Nickelodeon T.V. channel in 2003. It was (and still is) a very different cartoon from any other, ESPECIALLY next to the majority of shows on Nick. Since then, Jenny's small-but-passionate fan-base has struggled as best it can to catch the show when it's on, due to a lack of availability on interactive media, and have paid tribute to these adventures with fan-art, a few fanfictions here and there, and uh... well, in case kids are reading this, I'll not mention the other stuff. Well, our Teenage-Robot Diaspora has been quenched after all these years; at long last, all three seasons are available on DVD. Each episode is in the most pristine quality; however, there are NO set-up options or bonus features. Quite a pity, really; I would have loved to see interviews with Rob Renzetti or the other magic-makers concerning the making of the show, as well as each one's opinion on the characters. Still, it's a minuscule matter when we have the show itself after so long. For what it's worth, I purchased this, the Season 2 set, first. I'd already paid for a few of the Season 1 episodes when it came out on desertcart Instant Video, you see. If you've already read my review there, you probably know I'm a big fan of the show myself, though I didn't find out about it until about 2007. This show is a gem, and a most unique one- it is woven with fun, witty humor in contrast to Nick's other shows, most of which are loaded with gross-out jokes; the story arc of each episode is dynamic, engaging, comes full-circle as a proper story should, and holds noteworthy morals without coming off as preachy; each character is her or his own memorable being; the art style is easy on the eyes, and give the world an unmistakable look all its own; All these assets and much, much more systematically work together to bring out the best in each other, resulting in all the richer of an experience. I admit that my prattling here is quite subjective; if you've not already watched the show, but would like to try it out, please don't go in on my word. Instead, go in with a curious, open mind and allow the show to grow on you, if it will. I'd hate to cause disappointment in future viewers. So in closing, it's a great collection; each episode is clear as crystal; a lack of bonus features is a bit of a downer, but a very light one to be sure. I recommend this show to anyone looking for an experience, not just a gag-fest; however, it's your call. desertcart, thank you for this! Signed, Ryan.

in principe erg blij met de dvd, een topserie en nostalgie van vroeger. Alleen is ook deze dvd van de verkeerde regio... Vreemd. Via de Nederlandse amazon besteld, vanuit Duitsland verstuurd, maar geen matchende regio. Ik heb elders een regiovrije dvd-speler gekocht om toch dit soort DVDs te kunnen kijken.

Great! Arrived quickly, DVDs played well, high quality, sealed, also if anyone wants to know the disk is region 1 player compatible. Not sure if the product description said that. Thanks for reading my review!

Like everyone knows, who considers to buy this DVD, the content is super fantastic. So I'll focus on the quality. The DVD's cover and the back of the DVDs itself make a very expensive impression. Each season includes 3 DVDs. I bought all seasons and the first two DVDs of each season had scratches. These haven't been a problem up to now, but I think for 20 USD scratches should be excluded..... The quality of the episodes itself is good. The DVD menu consists out of and <CHOOSE EPISODE> or something like that. So it isn't very easy to find out which are episodes and which are EXTRAS, but I think this isn't really a problem. All in all I think it's completly worthy to buy these DVDs because these are only minor problems and the content itself is too good to miss it. I hope they will produce a fourth season of this amazing cartoon.
