The direct-to-DVD romantic comedy Dog Gone Love is the tale of two dog lovers, bookish author Steven (Alexander Chaplin) and assistant veterinarian Rebecca (Lindsay Sloane). Upon meeting Steven, Rebecca makes the assumption that he is gay. Steven allows her to go on believing this so that he can use her expertise in all things canine to research his latest novel -- and besides, he thinks she's cute. Originally rated R, Dog Gone Love was whittled down to a safe PG-13 when the film made its cable-TV debut over the Lifetime network on July 29, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A pair of real-life multi-platinum rap artists star in this genial substance abuse comedy recalling the pro-marijuana work of Cheech and Chong and such films as Half Baked (1998). Silas (Method Man) and Jamal (Redman) are buddies who enjoy smoking voluminous amounts of the illegal plant. They end up in the possession of some magical weed that enhances their brainpower during college entrance exams, thus enabling them to enter that esteemed institution of learning, Harvard University. Once firmly ensconced in the halls of academia, however, the pals run out of their supernatural supply and are forced to get creative in the pursuit of an Ivy League degree. Included in their narcotic-addled plans: smoking the bones of dead president John Quincy Adams. Produced by Danny DeVito's Jersey Films, How High (2001) co-stars Obba Babatunde, Fred Willard, and Hector Elizondo. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

The four Sliders arrive on an Alternate Earth ruled by the Stompers, a high-tech Nazilike organization dedicated to "Racial Repatriation" (the leader is Governor Shick--as in "Schickelgruber", a.k.a. Hitler). As a black man, Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks) is unable to elude detection, and is soon shipped off to what is euphemistically called a Detention Camp. In their efforts to save Remmy, the other Sliders can find no one willing to break ranks with the powers-that-be: everyone adores the Stompers for revitalizing the economy by creating faceless android workers called "Eddies"--who, as Remmy learns to his horror, aren't quite the soulless machines they appear to be. (Incidentally, this is series regular Cleavant Derricks' favorite Sliders episode.) ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This episode is a spoof of a famous "sweatshop" scandal involving the franchised consumer products of a certain popular female TV talkshow host (are we being obscure enough here?) In their efforts to win a huge raise, Al (Ed O'Neill) and Griff (Harold Sylvester) resort to blackmail when they discover that their boss Gary is using illegal aliens to manufacture her shoes. Unfortunately, the plan fizzles (despite an extended takeoff of the Mission: Impossible films), and Al's son Bud (David Faustino) ends up atoning for his dad's sins. Meanwhile, Peggy (Katey Sagal) goes to elaborate lengths to hide the fact that she's bought a microwave. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
