The Video: How Does The Disc Look?

Like the two DVD box sets that came before it, these 1.33:1 transfers are nothing special. The show is presented with little upgrade or restoration. There’s softness in nearly every frame, but certain elements have been preserved nicely. Black levels are consistent, and color accuracy is pretty much spot-on, even if things get a little thin in the flesh tone department. I doubt that the show’s fans expect reference-quality transfers, but even if these presentations are acceptable, more could have been done to spruce them up.

The Audio: How Does The Disc Sound?

The Dolby Digital mono tracks are business-as-usual. Dialogue sounds all right, and music and sound effects comes through appropriately, with understandable mediocrity. But I’ve definitely heard more compromised TV-on-DVD tracks. Not much more to say.
