five star product
Warner Bros. did a marvelous job on this dvd-r release. All season one episodes are presented in their original uncut form and all run over 25 minutes each. Also, the picture and audio quality is fabulous and the packaging is magnificent too. I expect seasons two and three to get released soon. Warner Bros. revealed in a Podcast with series star Brandon Cruz several weeks ago that they had digitally remastered all three seasons of this brilliant show in high definition.
NO BONUS MATERIAL AND HIGH PRICE POINT, BUT THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT WILL EVER GET!
I grew up watching this cute and funny show. A show about a recently widowed father and his young son. The chemistry between Bixby and Cruz are really what make this show such a treat. Of course the supporting cast is also good with Mrs. Livingston the Asian housekeeper, Uncle Norman and Tina two friends of the two. Even the dated late 60's theme doesn't hurt this show because the real values haven't changed or at least they shouldn't have.
The show holds up surprisingly well and all 24 first season episodes are here on this four disc set. They look quite good too and it doesn't appear that anything is cut out as they run around 26 minutes each. The theme song is also unforgettable and is an important part of the lead in for each episode. Nilsson wrote and performs the catchy number and he adds variations of the theme throughout the episodes.
If you've been looking for this show look no further as this is about as good as it's going to get. Plans to release the...
Great show
I dont know when I last saw this show on TV but I always had fond memories of it growing up watching it. I was basically the same age as Eddie. And now rewatching it as an adult I can totally appreciate it on a different level. The relationship between father and son is so open and loving that I cant think of another show that showed such a relationship between parent and son. Looking forward to the next two seasons.
