Here are the videos I've tried from season one so far and my impressions of them:
Disk 3: Killer Abs
This is great! It's ARX & Ab Ripper from Power 90 COMBINED! If ARX is getting a bit too easy for you this is a great replacement. Pure gold baby!
Dish 7: Super Cardio
Mmmm Super Cardio when compared to all the other P90X cardio. This was a fun workout but I think it's place is better used during a recovery week where you want a bit of cardio but don't want to push too hard.
Disc 11: Recovery 4 Results
This was a sound recovery workout that will definitely be placed in my future recovery weeks. This contains a bit of cardio, resistance training, and stretching so it's great.
I'll post up more as I get a chance to try out the rest of the season one videos.

Disk 4: Just Arms
Ok this isn't a big calorie burner on the HRM but that's normal for true weight lifting. I burned 350 in this 50min workout which is about half what I typically like to burn however the arms isolation in this is crazy. My arms feel like they are gonna burst right now. If you are looking to really focus on your bi, tri, and forearm than this is the workout to do. OUCH!

Disc 10: Medicine Ball Core Cardio
I really like this cardio workout. Two tips right off the bat: 1) use a medicine ball heavier than Tony's in the video. I used a 10# ball but an 8# ball would probably work great for speed as well.
2) If you have a speed rope use it during the times in this video where Tony takes breaks or stops to make jokes or something.
This video is very short coming in around 30min total. Is the short length a bad thing? Absolutely not! I'm actually a little excited about it's shortness because I can now use this video to support other workouts for additional calorie burn or even as a great preworkout warm up.
Disc 9: Bun Shaper
Not a bad video and definitely targets the intended area. I feel like it is basically composed of moves found in P90X Plyo and Kempo though. If your butt is a specific target for you than this video is great. I am not very concerned with targeting my butt so workouts like Plyometrics and such that involve loads of squats and lunges yet target other areas of the body as well are of more interest to me.
There are some fun elements to this workout that I really liked. 8 card pickup was really cool. Toss this workout in on days where your upper body is just shot from previous workouts.

Disc 1: Plyo Legs
This workout was Meh. It seemed a lot like Plyometrics from P90X with more focus on the legs. This wasn't a bad workout at all, it just seemed like it was to low impact for me. There is a point where you do 3min wall sits that burn pretty good, but the rest just seemed easy.
I don't see working this into my workouts very often in the future. I'd like to compare this back to back with P90X Plyometrics to see how similar they really are and also to see which get's a better burn, but just from memory I'd say Plyometrics was a better video.
