Review: |
Now
here's an odd DVD if there ever was one. Not that anyone who
likes "Married with Children" is going to be complaining about
owning the episodes, but why not ALL the episodes in a full-season
set? Instead, we have a compilation of the episodes deemed "most
outrageous," and a "too raunchy for TV" episode, apparently
added to attract attention. With all of the television shows
being released season by season on DVD, I'm beginning to wonder
why this one was overlooked. |
| Image
and Sound |
As
with the extras, Columbia hasn't really done much with the presentation.
The fullframe picture looks respectably clean, with very little
grain or speckle. Colors are also nicely saturated, with some
slight bleed here and there. Contrast is wanting, however, and
so is clarity, as the image exhibits a soft appearance. There
is also some film grain apparent throughout. *** The sound,
mastered in Dolby 2.0 Surround, isn't much of a thrill, either.
This is mostly a dialogue-driven track that sounds clean enough,
but doesn't take up any space in the rest of the soundfield,
either. |
| The
Extras |
Only
some bonus trailers have been included here, the first of which
is a promo spot for a Frank Sinatra CD, followed by the preview
for "The Sweetest Thing," and an ad for more Columbia TV-DVD
releases. |

| Final
Words: |
Strictly
for fans of the show, and even they will be disappointed. |
