Summary: The Dead Zone--The Complete First Season
Review: I'm a huge fan of the Dead Zone and tape every episode and will buy the 2nd season if and when it comes out on DVD. BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED ABOUT THE "UNAIRED ORIGINAL PILOT EPISODE" that you can get with the bounce back coupon ($$$ for shipping). It was aired on TV and is the very first episode on the first DVD called "Wheel of Fortune". I ordered it and got it in the mail today and was looking forward to seeing an episode that I had never seen before. WRONG! I was very disappointed when I found that it was the "Wheel of Fortune" on the DVD compliation that I already bought. So, don't waste your money on the allegedly unaired original pilot episode--because if you bought the Complete First Season of the Dead Zone, you already have it.

Summary: The soundtrack is almost as good as the show
Review: I've been in love with this show since the very beginning. Being a big Stephen King fan to begin with is what drew me to this but I was pleasantly surprised to find this was much different than the Stephen King novel. Every episode of the show is unbelievable and I think that Anthony Michael Hall was a perfect pick to play Johnny.Now for the title explanation. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bounceback card in with the first season. Not because of the unaired pilot (which if you bough it when they released the pilot alone on dvd you already have) but because they offered the Sountrack to the show. I jumped at this because of the amazing Jeff Buckley song New Years Prayer. Now don't expect to get it right away... it took me about three months to get mine but now that I have it I can't complain. It seems to fit the show perfectly. It's a very nice combination of songs, all of them good, some of them even beautiful.

Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!NO OTHER SHOW LIKE THIS!!!!!A MUST HAVE!!!!!!
Review: I've never seen an episode of The Dead Zone, until my friend came over to my house and had the complete 1st season on DVD. I was very skeptical at first to watch the DVD. I thought it was going to be a very boring TV show/serie ( Like many others out there ). Oh boy, was I ever more wrong in my entire life!! After I saw the first episode, I just wanted to keep watching more and more episodes. Now I just can't get enough of The Dead Zone series. I just can't wait for the 2nd season to come out on DVD. This TV show/series is that good. Once you start watching, you won't stop. It has such a superb actors and the director is an excellent one. By all means, watch it you will never regret it.

Summary: One of the Best Series on TV!
Review: If you have not seen this show before then you need to watch! I have been watching The Dead Zone since day one and I absolutely love it. I can not wait for the DVD to come out! It is one of those shows where you are leaned back in your chair at the beginning but by the end of it you are just about to fall over the edge. To give you a little background Anthony Michael Hall plays "Johnny Smith" a man with psychic powers that he obtained after a car accident that left him in a coma for six years. How his powers work is by a touch. All you have to do is touch him and he will see something that has happended in your past or something that is going to happen in your future. "Johnny" uses his powers to help people though. In the First season he was able to save a woman from being raped and he was able to save a teen who was going to die from an unseen heart condition. Each show is always suprising and you can't wait to see how Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) will save the day with his psychic powers. Like I said before if you have not seen an episode yet do!

Summary: Dead Zone Scores A Perfect 10
Review: John Smith (Anthony Michael Hall), a high school teacher in Cleaves Mill, Maine, received a head injury in 1976 and wakes up 20 years later to discover that his mother has died, his fiancée Sarah Bracknell (Nicole de Boer) is married to another man Sheriff Walt Bannerman (Chris Bruno), and that he has a son Johnny (Dominic Lewis) by her. Smith also has psychic abilities. When he touches people, he gets visions. Dr. Tran (Rick Tae) tries to tell him that people aren't precognitive the dead zone is an area of the brain that we don't normally use causing vivid hallucinations. John soon makes him a believer and everyone else around him when he starts providing clues to a series of murders. The DVD's Main Menu shows selected scenes from the series giving a brief synopsis of what the series is about. I thought this made for a great teaser and really set the mood for the story! The Special features include a Featurette, USA TV Promos, Alternate Ending and a Second Season Preview with co-creator Michael Piller. The series is based on characters from Stephen King's novel. This is an excellent well-acted story! Highly recommended!

Summary: A very pleasant suprise!!!
Review: Johnny Smith ( Anthony Michael Hall) is an energetic and popular teacher who is engaged to a woman named Sarah (Nicole de Boer)who he has loved his entire life. Unfortunately, Johnny gets into a near fatal car accident that puts him into a coma for 6 years. When Johnny wakes up 6 years after the accident, his life goes through some major changes. The first is that Sarah has moved on with her life and is married to a man named Walt( Chris Bruno)who is the town sheriff. To make matters worse, Sarah was pregnant with Johnny's son that has been raised by Walt, and his son has no idea who Johnny really is. The second and most important change, is that the accident awakened a part of the brain, which is refered to as the "Dead Zone" which allows Johnny to receive visions from the past and the future whenever he touches someone or a physical object related to a particular person. Now as Johnny attempts to begin a new life, he must adjust to his abilities and use them to help those in need. Up until very recently, I was extremely skeptical about this show for two different reasons. The first and most obvious reason was because Anthony Michael Hall played the lead character. Most people including myself have only seen Anthony play nerdy characters in John Hughes movies, and other roles in unknown "B" films. The second reason why I was always skeptical, was because I figured that there was no way that a weekly television show could be made dealing with the characters from Stephen King's book and the film, because it is a story that is pretty specific and hard to stretch out. However, since the show has received very positive reviews, I decided to put my skepticism aside and give the first season a try. After recently finishing the first season on this DVD set, all I can say is that I was seriously impressed and literally blown away at how good this show turned out to be. Anthony Michael Hall shows that he is actually a very decent actor and does a wonderful job as Johnny Smith. He makes the character extremely believeable and easy to connect with. The show also features a great mix of romance, drama, and suspense with all of the visions that Johnny receives. You also get wrapped up in watching Johnny trying to adjust to his new life and dealing with the fact that the woman he loves is married to someone else. The reason I could only give the first season of "The Dead Zone" four stars however, is because there were a few episodes that were rather boring and slow moving. But, at least 10 out of the 13 episodes are fantastic. The DVD set overall offers some pretty cool extras as well like interviews with guest stars, a preview of season 2, commentary, etc.. All I can say is that I am definately a fan of this show now, and I plan on purchasing the season 2 DVD set as soon as June 8th arrives. A solid 4 stars...

Summary: I love the movie but...
Review: Movie is fantastic...but this tv series is one boring catastrophe. Pacing is very slow, episodes are not even original. Episodes 1 & 2 are of the same one as the 1st dvd version they so called "unaired pilot". I cant believe that they would even copy the story from that fantastic 1957 movie "12 Angry Men" and make an episode out of it. Only 2 stars for 2 episodes worth watching.
