After four long aggrivating years, Season Two of Night Court is finally being released on DVD in February 2009, four years after the first season was issued. It appears as thought the massive outcries of fans worldwide has finally forced Warner Brothers to listen.
But now there's no need to worry any longer, justice will finally be served... assuming they intend to keep releasing more seasons of this, and not space them out over four years apiece.
I direct you to my original post on this, almost two years ago...
So I've been waiting for months upon months for Season 2 of Night court to be released on DVD and now it looks as though it's not going to be released in its entirety. They are instead releasing 90 episodes cutting across all seasons on a 15 disc set. Mind you this is 90 episodes, but it's 90 episodes out of 193 so half of the series is being eliminated.
In that paragraph, I realize now I made an error. That box set I was referring to was in fact bootlegged. The episodes were burned to DVDs from old VHS recordings someone recorded off the TV. They have since expanded the collection to the entire series, and they wanted over $100 US for it, and it was reportedly awful quailty... But I digress...
This really pisses me off. I mean lets face it: there is SO MUCH CRAP out where all seasons are being released on DVD and a show that was high in the ratings for so long is getting shafted. Let look at a few examples shall we?
Doogie Howser, MD: Remember this peice of garbage? About a teenage prodigy who somehow managed to get through highschool, university and medical school in just a few years? Released in it's entirety on DVD.
The Nanny: Fran "Somebody Muzzle Me" Drescher's property about an annoying live-in caretaker which was basically centered around her whiny southern voice. The Entire Series is available for your eardrum piercing pleasure.
A Different World: Cosby Show spinoff where one of his spoiled kids leaves home and does a bunch of crap. I was surprised this show lasted six seasons (all beautifully captured on DVD!) to begin with, but I guess that's one of the benefits of having Bill Cosby as your executive producer.
Family Matters: God help us all.... Steve Erkel preserved for all time on DVD. Don't miss a moment of this retard's antics and don't forget to keep a barf bucket close at hand for the end of each ep where the music comes up for the obligatory heartfelt family moment. They should just rename this show Fecal Matters.
Wings: Okay, need I say anything about this? It's fucking WINGS! Other shows MADE FUN of this show!! What's on now? Wings. AUUUGH!!! TURN THE TV OFF!! So now you can create your own personal hell by purchasing the entire series. Comes with flaming bamboo for under your fingernails while you watch.
Do you see what I mean? How can a show that won five Emmys and was nominated for nine more NOT BE RELEASED ON DVD? It was right up there in ratings with Cheers for dog's sake! GRAW!!!!
No wonder I don't have cable anymore. The entire industry is messed up.
Well spoken, me. Since then, more awful shows have also been released, for some reason.
Mama's Family. For the longest time, I thought the actress playing Mama was a man in drag. And her voice was enough to make nails on a chalkboard sound like the soothing notes of a songbird.
Fraggle Rock. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this by some people in my circle, but I don't care. I wanted to stomp all these little bastards, just like the Smurfs.
Full House. The less hackneyed Bob Sagat moments in the world, the better.
Judge Judy. All I can say to this is, Oh dear God...
I could go on, but I'm getting away from the point.
I urge all you Night Court fans to do you part and buy this second volume PLEASE, so I can finally have my favourite TV show in its entirety.
You can preorder the DVD set already from amazon.com, and get a $10 discount if you do.
