This series about two plastic surgeons in practice in Miami, Florida and the unusual requests they get in their line of work as well. “Nip and Tuck” took a plunge off the deep end with its Carver story arc but with that storyline so hopes were high that the fourth season of the series would perk up with such guest stars as Rosie O’Donnell and Larry Hagman With the fourth season the show got back on track with a number of other memorable guest stars and stories that improve on the disastrous third season. Christian (Julian McMahon) still has a hard time keeping his zipper up and pants on most of the time while Sean (Dylan Walsh) continues to have issues with his wife Julia (Joely Richardson). Although the latter two are back together their relationship is still in choppy waters. ---

Image & Sound:

“Nip/Tuck” looks sleek and sharp in its DVD presentation. Colors look terrific and although the video quality is a tad inconsistent during the first couple of episodes, the show (which is shot in HD) improves radically soon after. Audio sounds fine as well with dialogue front and center.

We get “Clever Casting” and “Sizzle” two memorable featurettes on the fourth season. The former focuses on the terrific guest stars that appeared. The latter focuses on the sexuality on display in the show. “The Cutting Edge-How Real Life Dramas are Incorporated Into The Show” is pretty self explanatory—it focuses on real life unusual surgeries and how they were translated to reel life. We get a gag reel as well as deleted scenes as part of the mix. ---
