This is the only season that I really enjoy. The first season's are usually the best and this one is the best.
Director Brad Silberling's live-action adaptation of the classic cartoon Casper comes to DVD for the first-time with this feature-heavy release. The film is presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio (A full-screen edition with the same features was released simultaneously). Meanwhile, the English soundtrack is available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1, while the French and Spanish dubbed audio tracks have been rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Spanish and French subtitles are also available. Among the supplemental features that have been included are a feature-length audio-commentary track by Silberling, two games, Casper's Cartoon Classic: Penguin for Your Thoughts, three featurettes, a photo gallery, and a deleted scene.

This four-disc set contains every episode from the fifth season of the popular situation comedy Friends. Each show is presented in the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.0. Supplemental materials include a documentary on the making of the show that originally aired on Discovery Channel, footage of the cast and crew on location in London, and a preview of season six by the man who works at Central Perk -- Gunther. This is a fine set for fans of the series.

Very funny and a good cast that does a great job!!!
Kevin Smith's directorial debut, Clerks, brought a new energy to low-budget comedies. The DVD release, which is simply a reissue of the comprehensive laserdisc, offers a fine version of the film along with a bevy of goodies. The image is a widescreen 1.85:1 transfer that charmingly reveals the film's low-budget roots. The Dolby Digital Surround mix is quite fine. The highlight of the supplemental material is a chaotic, rambling commentary track featuring Smith, his cinematographer, and a handful of cast members and journalists. They share numerous funny stories about the making of the film. Jason Mewes' snoring can be heard at one point. It is one of the funniest commentaries ever recorded. A batch of deleted scenes that are introduced by Smith are interesting, none more so than the original ending of the film. A video by Soul Asylum, directed by Smith, gives the viewer the chance to see the Quick-stop in color. This entertaining movie has been given an entertaining DVD release.

Yes!! It is very much worth it. They make your tv look the very best that it can in your setting. I would recommend anyone doing this with a tv 42" or larger.
