Can't wait to own 'em all!!!
I can't wait to own this entire series on DVD. One of the best features on these DVDs in my opinion is the ability to turn off the obnoxious laugh track. As any M.A.S.H. fan knows, the producers eventually wanted no laugh track on the show, however, they were forced by network execs to go to a "chuckle track" instead.(With a slighty quieter, but still obnoxious laughter. The network execs said that the public at large wouldn't know when to laugh and when not to.)I also sometimes enjoy turning the subtitles option on. Some lines of Winchesters in particular can get quite sophisticated in verbage. The picture and sound quality make old VHS tapes and the like almost painful to watch or listen to.
This series, perhaps better than any show before or since then, weaved a tapestry of comedy and drama, with complete and total seamless precision. Once you own the entire series, you can to watch them all in order, so as to watch the growth of the show and characters over 11 years. Slowly changing from a comedy, then to a comedy-drama, then arguably to a drama-comedy.
