Welcome to Chemistry 101, class. Anything but Love, a charming, quirky romantic-comedy series that debuted in 1989, stars Jamie-Lee Curtis, then at the height of her film career, and comedian Richard Lewis as journalistic colleagues with an undeniable romantic pull between them. The first volume of episodes showcases the crackling connection between Hannah (Curtis) and Marty (Lewis), which kept the show fizzy, and not fizzled--like Cheers, Moonlighting, and other sitcoms in which romantic tension died after "the deed." Curtis shows her best screwball chops as an ace reporter, struggling with her feelings, her friendship, and her work assignments with Marty, who's a fumbling but well-meaning foil. Besides the two stars, the show features a great sidekick in Ann Magnuson, and cool cameos; look for memorable appearances by John Ritter and an elegant Wendie Malick. The set includes 28 episodes on three discs; it spans slightly more than a full season, from its debut in March of 1989 as a mid-season replacement through that fall and the spring of 1990. Extras include commentaries by Curtis (still the mistress of the dryly witty crack), Lewis, and director Robert Berlinger, and two featurettes on the creation of and tidbits from the show, "All About Anything but Love and "Stories from the Set." Let the sparking begin. --A.T. Hurley

Better/Badder December 31, 2008
The parts of this show that are good are even better than I remember, the bits that are bad are way badder, but those are just bits. The good stuff is so much fun. It makes me wish Lewis and Curtis would team up in something again!
Its one of those great show sets for plugging in and just letting it run, don't overthink it, have fun.
 Where is the Volume 2 DVD release!?!?! August 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a great show that I never thought would get released on dvd. I still have the vhs tapes from the lifetime repeats. The episodes on this set are complete, with several minutes restored to each episode after having been cut down to about a 20 minute run time per episode in syndication.
Now, we need volume 2 to be released. It's been a year and a half since volume 1.
RELEASE VOLUME 2!!!!

I purchased this dog only because my dear wife thought it would be fun. To me, its only worth is the exercise one gets inserting it into -then ejecting it from- the DVD player.
Great overlooked show November 2, 2007
I enjoyed this show quite a bit when it first came out. The banter between Jamie Lee Curtis and Richard Lewis develops nicely. The first 6 episodes were ok, but it improved much with Ann Magnuson coming on as the quirky magazine editor. It's an amazing amount of video on three discs for the price.

Had the Charles/Burrows/Charles axis been able to shepherd creator Wendy Kouts down the proper path, and resist changes called for by studio suits, this could have been the romantic comedy of the late 20th century.
Sad to say, the exact opposite of each condition occurred, and this program waffled and whimpered and eventually wasted away.
What a waste it was. Curtis and Lewis were so fine together. JD Souther produced the best theme song for ANY romantic comedy, and the opening credits of the first "season," as Lewis and Curtis point out, were perhaps the best ever produced.
The principles are all too old to be believable in a 20-something-30-something comedy. But it could be revived, with younger actors... if someone had the vision.
In any event, this is a worthy program to grace any DVD collection.

3 CHEERS FOR SHAAK Ti
Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
