I always loved this show and watched every episode when it was
on TV. I was sad when Michael J. Fox left, but Charlie Sheen did a pretty good
job of replacing him. If you are a watcher of "Two and a Half Men", then
you will probably love this show because it basically has the same type of
humor. It's always funny. Before this, the world had no idea that Heather
Locklear could do comedy, too. The show totally revived Barry Bostwick's career,
too. It's got a great ensemble cast, and they are all hilarious.
The DVD set could definitely be better. First of all, there is
no closed-captioning, and no options for adding any. I guess they figure that
deaf people won't get the humor of the show (something tells me they would).
I'm not deaf, but I like using the closed-captioning because sometimes people
mumble...
The DVD also has no extras or features. Not even unaired scenes.
That is a real shame. I would have loved to have watched them. Still, it's good
to have the episodes on DVD so you can watch them and laugh.
