Review Weekend Stories (4pc) (Sub) / Facets:If American TV was this good, would we ever go to the movies? In a series of eight loosely connected stories, Polish master Krzysztof Zanussi (Life As a Fatal Sexually Transmitted Disease, The Year of the Quiet Sun) explores life in modern Poland. Like Krzysztof Kieslowski's brilliant Decalogue, which Zanussi produced, Weekend Stories comprises small, self-contained films connected by themes that weave through the series: the connections between urban and rural life, the legacy of communism echoing through contemporary life, the lovely opening image repeated in variation in each film. Zanussi's style is modest and effortless, and he directs with a subtlety and a sense of grace often missing from contemporary movies. Some of the modest moral tales are powerful and profound ("A Woman's Business" and "Little Faith"), others light and humble ("Deceptive Charm" and "The Soul Sings"), but all are sincere and affecting stories rooted in the delicacies of human nature: kindness, love, faith, sin, and forgiveness. The rich portrait they paint of contemporary Poland is warmed by Zanussi's love for his fumbling characters and hope for the future. -Sean Axmaker.

Review The Dick Van Dyke Show - Season Three Box Set / Image Entertainment:Pratfall-prone Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke) and his plucky wife Laura (Mary Tyler Moore), along with wisecracking co-workers Sally (Rose Marie) and Buddy (Morey Amsterdam), captured America's hearts in this TV favorite that irresistibly combined wit and slapstick.

Review Planet of Life (4pc) / Discovery Channel:Imagine a five-eyed lobsterlike creature hovering above the ocean floor, bringing food to its mouth through a long, wormlike trunk tipped with spines. Is this on Mars? No, planet Earth. It's an Opabinia regalis, an ancient creature whose discovery originally caused paleobiologists to laugh, and just one of dozens of outstanding 3-D computer-animation and life-size models that give the Discovery Channel's Planet of Life boxed set its verve. The series begins in The Birth of Earth, with a Mars-sized asteroid hitting Earth's primordial oceans, and traces the progression of lipidlike molecules to DNA, blue-green algae, and amoebas. Narrator Stacy Keach explains the evolutionary advantages of kidneys, bones, and lungs in early fish, and British Columbia's Burgess Shale reveals bizarre Cambrian fossils and their fascinating reconstructions in Ancient Oceans. Plants lure tetrapods onto land in When Dinosaurs Ruled and rock-eating, herbivorous dinosaurs evolve. The dinosaurs covered, especially berosaurus and triceratops, are treated thoroughly, but viewers expecting more vicious dinosaurs à la Jurassic Park will be disappointed. Creatures of the Skies traces the angiosperm revolution and flight adaptations from pterosaurs to archeopteryx to modern birds and butterflies. The Insect World looks at special adaptations, such as the compound eye, and explains bee language. Apes to Man presents different anthropoids with fabulous comparative footage of different skeletons walking. [+]Evolution's Next Step answers questions like "Where did all Biosphere Two's oxygen go?" The series' life-size models, computer animation, expert interviews, and on-location film footage will appeal to anyone looking for a good visual overview of evolution. -Tara Chace.

Review A Charlie Brown Christmas/Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / Paramount:This half-hour Christmas show is one of the truly lovable animated specials in TV history, a status proved by its annual network telecast since 1965. A Charlie Brown Christmas was the first, and best, of a series of programs based on the Charles M. Schulz cartoon strip "Peanuts. " Hapless hero Charlie Brown finds himself depressed at Christmastime, searching for the true meaning of the holiday amidst the glitz and commercialism of the modern age. Appointed director of the school holiday pageant, Charlie Brown ventures out with Linus to buy "a great, big, shiny aluminum Christmas tree. " Instead they bring back a miserable tree-a real one. A Charlie Brown Christmas shows off the "Peanuts" gang doing what they do best: Lucy is bossy, Snoopy is crazy, Linus is sweet, and Pig Pen is, well, filthy. Instead of using adult actors trying to sound like kids, the production features real children providing the voices, an endearing effect. The jazz music score, composed by Vince Guaraldi, has become a classic in its own right; like so much about this program, it's an unexpected but perfectly right choice. -Robert Horton.
