Popular standup comedian Jim Gaffigan plays a fictionalized version of himself in this TV Land sitcom which follows the trials and tribulations of raising five children in a two-bedroom New York City apartment. Ashley Williams co-stars as Jim's wife, Jeannie, while Michael Ian Black and Adam Goldberg take on supporting roles. The first season also features cameos from the likes of Chris Rock, Dave Attell, Whitney Cummings, Jimmy Fallon, Steve Buscemi and Alec Baldwin. This 2-disc release features all 11 episodes from the first season.
Though it lasted a mere 22 episodes, the comic-book superhero adaptation series The Flash, starring John Wesley Shipp as the speedy crime-fighter, garnered a devoted cult following. This set contains every episode from the brief run of the show that found Flash trying to keep Central City free from various nefarious baddies.
Though I am not so enamored with this first season of "The Odd Couple", I purchased it because the second season (currently airing) is so much better. Strangely, the same thing happened with the old Tony Randall/Jack Klugman version. The first season wasn't as good as the seasons that followed, so for that reason I was excited to purchase this. The only other shortcoming is the lack of episodes since it didn't air for a full season originally.
