My Thoughts:
I got this set on April 23rd... Brittany and I started watching it right away. We ended up watching the entire 8 seasons in only 2 weeks! And let me tell you... we had a great time doing it! Before getting this set I had already seen seasons 1-7... but this is the first time I ever seen the final season of the series. But more on that in a bit. First let me talk about....

The Packaging:
Usually I am a bit weary of these gimmicky packaging... but I must say... this one I liked a lot! It is all housed in a good, sturdy box... like the kind you would get to house old 45 records back in the day. Then each season is in a CD sized cardboard box... which houses that season's discs which are in cardboard sleeves. Printed on the sleeves is the season, disc and episode numbers. The episode numbers counting the episode within the entire series... Episode 1 through 200.  As of right now this is the best gimmick packaging that I have in my collection.  :thumbup:

The Extras:
The extras on the disc is the same as the season set releases... nothing new here. No extra bonus disc for getting the complete series set like you see many shows doing. Though you do get a nice small hard cover book with all the episode guides in it. And you also get a mini script for the series finale episode. Which I haven't really taken a good look at yet. That is it for extras... it is nice but could be better.

The Show:
What can I say... it is one of my favorites. It is a very funny show! Both Brittany and I loved watching the entire series in only 2 weeks. There was many laugh out loud moments. Though I will say that I felt the final season was the worst of the series. But even saying that... I still think it is more then worth the time to watch. Still right funny. I got to say... I did not care for the new guy, Randy, in the final season. He took place of Topher Grace since he was off filming Spider-Man 3 at the time. They ended up sending Eric to Africa in the series. But in my opinion Randy just didn't seem to fit in with the group we already knew and loved. I will say I liked how they ended the series. The finale was done right... though I will say I seen the ending of the series coming from a mile away. They kinda went with the obvious... but it was still a great way to end the series.

If this is a show you never seen... It is one I highly recommend. I would also recommend just going ahead and grabbing the complete series sets. It is really a great set! Trust me, you won't be sorry!

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

The best answer to that is to see if you can watch an episode or two.... maybe online or something. Youtube?

Don't know how true it is... but I read on wikipedia that there was a British remake....

Quote
In 1999, the show was remade by the British ITV network as Days Like These using almost verbatim scripts with minor changes to cultural references.

If that helps you any.

I just checked out some "Days Like These" clips on Youtube.... and it is the same... almost word for word. Even including character names.  :P
