Summary: Worth the money to see Corbin go nuts
Review: At first I preferred the 'civilian' versions of the Mole, but when I got this on DVD it quickly became my favorite and the reruns of the original Mole were fun to watch - but not as funny. Kathy Griffin (whom I know more from her voice as Alice on 'Dilbert' than from 'Suddenly Susan') and Steven Baldwin stole the show in my opinion and the other five were there for the ride. The Mole is the only reality show I can stand, tolerate or watch, and this, the first celebrity version of the show has become one of my most favorite shows in my DVD collection. A better mix of well-known to moderately-known celebs take part in this crazy, silly, and completely all-out wild journey through our 50th state as the seven contestants try and figure out who is the mole. As for technical specs: chapter breaks where you'd want them (at the commercial breaks), the closing credits have the funny moment in full screen (unlike the original broadcast where its computer-trimmed down to Postage Stamp Vision - or where I live, cut from the broadcast to tell you about an upcoming local news report about several cats who were alarmed by loud noises), and the special features are numerous. I especially liked seeing the extended Post-Execution Reactions and more from their daily Confessional interviews. My only problem was with the packaging - the whole swing arm thing for one of the discs where it likes to loosen itself and rattle in the packaging every once in the while made me find a little nicer home for the set. As for the whole deal about this reality show not taking itself seriously...I think that was the point. Reality shows are allowed to have a little fun, too.

Summary: Read a biography on celebrities instead..
Review: Celebrity Mole....Oh my... Why on earth would you spend money on buying a reality show that doesn't even take itself seriously? Honestly, the washed-up actors and host are having fun simply for the fact that this is the only paycheck they've seen in two decades. "Celebrity Mole's" two stinky seasons aren't anything compared to the first two "The Mole" editions with Anderson Cooper as the host and real people as the players. Here, the clues are phony and acting even phonyer.

Summary: Decent season
Review: I am also bewildered as to why CMH was released before the first two seasons. It makes no sense. While I would agree that this season doesn't stack up to its predecessors, it isn't that bad. It has some hillarious moments and sure, the players are light-hearted but I wouldn't say they weren't taking the game seriously. Kathy was a vigorous note-taker and Michael and Erik were very intense at times. In addition, Frederique amounts to being a very good mole, far better than Bill or Kathryn, so in that respect, this season has a leg up on the first two. The challenges are also pretty darn good. I thought "Underwater Charades" and "It Takes a Thief" were brilliantly thought up games. This DVD really isn't worth buying if you saw this season, but if you've yet to see this season then I say go out and buy it.

Summary: Excellent Series!!!
Review: I watched Celebrity Mole: Hawaii on ABC so I know the outcome but I lok forward to seeing all the extras not shown on TV. I really, really, really hope they release the original civilians versions of the Mole on DVD since they were the true U.S. pioneers before the celebrity ones came out. You know, Mole 1 with Kate, Charlie, Manuel, Jennifer, Afi, Henry, Steven, Kathyrn, Wendi, and Jim. And Mole 2 with Heather, Bob, Lisa, Rob, Al, Dorothy, Bill, Darwin, Katie, Ali, Patrick, Myra, Bribs, and especially Elavia. ABC didn't know how to handle such a smart show (even the dumbed down Celebrity versions).

Summary: 6-45 minute episodes PLUS Outtakes!
Review: Seven celebrities must figure out who among them is The Mole. The celebrities will use all their guile to uncover the clues that could lead them to a pot of up to $250,000. They must complete a series of challenging physical and mental games to earn money for the pot, which one player will eventually win. Working undercover against the team, however, is The Mole, a double agent planted by the producers to sabotage the players' efforts. It is the goal of the players to decide who they think The Mole is, then learn as much about him or her as possible. In the final dramatic episode, The Mole is revealed and the one remaining player wins the jackpot.
The celebrities competing are:
Stephen Baldwin ("Usual Suspects," "One Good Cop")
Corbin Bernsen ("L.A. Law," "Major League")
Michael Boatman ("Spin City," "Arli$$")
Kim Coles ("Living Single," "In Living Color")
Kathy Griffin ("Suddenly Susan")
Frederique Van der Wal (Victoria's Secret supermodel)
Erik von Detton ("Princess Diaries")

Summary: The show was better during the first two seasons
Review: The show was better during the first two seasons when
ordinary people instead of celebrities were on it. And
why wasn't Anderson Cooper the host for the 3rd and
4th editions of the Mole? Even the challenges were better in the first two editions
of the Mole. I don't know what the programming people
at ABC were thinking when they replaced ordinary people
with celebrities. Please, ABC put ordinary people back on the show instead of
of celebrities for future editions of the Mole!

Summary: Finally!
Review: This DVD will be a great addition to anyones collection. Anyone who watched the show when it was on will tell you how great it was. They will also tell you that they will get it. I know I will. If your not sure, you may need to rent it first, but if you watched the show, there will be no question on if you should get it!
