A Brilliant Sit-Com Deserving of Far Greater Fame
I have run into few people who are familiar with this vastly under-appreciated television series, but clearly those who have seen it have recognized its unique genius. Once the viewer gets accustomed to actors wearing dinosaur costumes, the facial movements of which are operated remotely by skilled puppeteers, it becomes apparent that this is a brilliant version of a standard sit-com format: somewhat buffoonish, long-suffering everyman father (Earl), somewhat more astute wife/mother (Fran), rebellious teenage Son (Robbie),clueless, materialistic daughter (Charlene) and somewhat malevolent but entertaining Baby. The stunning originality of this series rests on three very strong foundations: the writers, who have built in some of the wittiest social, cultural and political satire ever seen in a TV series; the puppeteers (Volume I includes an excellent feature explaining how it's all done), whose astounding abilities are evident in the astonishing variety of facial expressions they are able to give the dino-characters; and the actors who have to navigate the sets in cumbersome costumes, often without being able to see what they are doing. The astounding synchronization of movement, expression and dialogue make this an unforgettable viewing experience. I have watched few television shows that caused me to laugh aloud regularly - this one never fails. There are numerous priceless moments, as in Season 3's disc two episode "Dirty Dancin', wherein at one point Earl brags to Fran about his mating abilities - the look on Fran's face is worth the price of the whole series - I have watched it again and again. It is a testament to the high art of the puppeteers. My only regret about this series is that it ran only four seasons. This review likewise applies to Volume I of the series.

USA region did with no upscale of picture quality
USA region dvds that will not play in standard UK region dvd players, will need de-regionalised did player or laptop to play. Picture quality is as you would expect from older TV show, no upscaling has been done to these. So long as those 2 things are clear, it is as you would expect from the show...Great show, great memories of my childhood!

Surprisingly funny
I used to watch this as a kid and loved it. I saw a few clips of the baby online and found it so funny that I thought I'd buy the DVDs - and I'm glad I did. It really is just so funny and caters for a more adult audience as well as a young one in the same sort of way that films like Shrek do with subtle references that will only be funny to adults. Plus the baby is just priceless and has me in hysterics.One and only problem with these DVDs is the region (1) - they wouldn't play on most of my devices and I had to watch them on my PC after switching the region (something that I don't think you can do on most devices). So if you want to watch them on a DVD player then best to check before you buy, which I didn't think to do.

UNABLE TO WATCH (UK)
This would have had 5 stars if I was able to watch the discs. Remember watching the programme years ago with the children as they grew up. Bought these for our grandchildren, but due to NO WARNINGS that the discs were not playable on UK machines, money down the drain.

I was unable to play this DVD as it was the wrong setting for my DVD player and but apart from that it was very good and this waiting for delivery time was good
