Summary: Where's the feature?
Review: It's a menu of extras, fine in and of itself, but lacking in the meat of the show. I paid twenty bucks to see something different and I feel let down. I would like to see actual interviews with the designers and carpenters. I would like to know more about the departure of Alex (and Des). I want to know how to put together some of the more beautiful armoirs and shelves that Ty and Amy Wynn built. I want to see shopping lists so when I try to recreate some of the rooms in my own home, I know what to get at the store and which store to look through.
I don't get any of that on this DVD. Even the reveal montages are available on the other Trading Spaces DVDs. Save your bucks unless you're a completist.

Summary: Truly the Best of Trading Spaces...
Review: Okay, I've seen just about every episode, so I guess it goes without saying that I like this series. But I was ready to be disappointed with the dvd, I mean, just "best of" clips? ...

But it is really well done! I laughed so much, they did an excellent job. The editing is great, the individual 'bios' of the cast are great, I admit I love the 'hated it' reactions ;) , well, it's all just great...

I recommend this dvd, even for those only luke-warm on the series (gets right to the good parts and no commercials!).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Would have been a nice "bonus disc"
Review: This disc has all the things you'd expect from a "special features" disc, but its missing the actual episodes. If you are obsessed with the characters on the show, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're like me and are hoping to get ideas for decorating, skip this one and wait until they release the seasons. I hope this isn't an indication of how the producers intend to trickle out bits and pieces of the show while charging fans a premium. Its a good show, but not that good.

Summary: For The Die Hard Trading Spaces Fan...
Review: This DVD is truly meant for the die hard Trading Spaces fans. Don't expect full episodes. The bloopers are...okay, nothing too great...Gives you a pretty good look at the 'inside' of the show though, which is kind of interesting and fun.
And Doug - putting half of his foot in his mouth in one of the blooper scenes - oh geez!

Summary: Extras without a main feature
Review: This DVD plays like the "special features" portion of any DVD-- there just isn't any main feature to go with it. The 121 minutes playing time is the result of adding the umpteen little clip-shows together, plus, I would guess, the running time of the menu.

The clip selections are not bad, but they are certainly brief. Each current cast member gets a short featurette, and those do aa good job of capturing the flavor of that individual. And even though they include a "history of..." feature, Alex is completely ignored (Des, too, but I can almost understand that...)

So if you sit down with this, you'll work the remote a lot and be done in a couple of hours. Mixed feelings here-- if someone gave it to you as aa gift, you'd probably be delighted and enjoy it. But if you shell out your own money for it, you may end up feeling a bit cheated...

Summary: What a disappointment!
Review: This DVD was such a disappointment. There wasn't that much "never-before-seen footage", and the bloopers were very disappointing. The Meet the Crew section was just outtakes from the show. And some sections were just text. We didn't even finish watching all the parts because it was so boring. If you watch the show a lot then this DVD doesn't show you anything you haven't already seen.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a disappointment! Don't waste your money.
Review: What a let down! This DVD is a major disappointment if you are a Trading Spaces fan. They showcased the worst of the room re-dos, and barely highlighted some of the best work, especially that of Laurie and Vern. Very few of their rooms were showcased. Anyone watching this DVD would most likely never want to participate in the show, much less spend their time watching an hour of it on television. Short segments with little entertainment value. Even the bloopers were horribly boring. I wish I could get my money back. For a better investment, buy the book. Unlike the DVD, it's worth every penny.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: lamelamelame
Review: Why did they even put this out on DVD? Absolutely worthless. This is probably the most frivolous thing to come out on DVD ever. I'd rather watch a DVD with outtakes from a Mexican soap opera.
