Night Court: The Complete Eighth Season

HAPPY TO FIND ONE OF MY FAVORITE SERIES
Night Court was one of my favorite shows and I am so happy to have found it. I was able to find the first two seasons at one of the big box stores, but could only get the rest from Amazon.
I have really enjoyed watching the series again.

High-end price, low-end media
I had bought seasons 4 and 5 on this MOD title and was... less than impressed.

The price was higher than previous seasons, and a burn on a consumer-grade off-the-shelf disc* was a turnoff. For the price commanded, a low-grade disc is a ripoff.

Especially as season 4's release had a mastering error with the audio losing sync in one episode, which is not attributable to the master videotapes shot circa 1985 or whenever...

* those purple-dye discs that have nothing near the claimed lifespan of the professionally pressed (silver, reflective metallic-looking) media; in the past when I archived on burnable DVDs, I had problems within a couple of years. Fleecing is for sheep. Not for people.

Its Night Court, but nothing else
I'm a little torn on the "manufacturing on demand" model. I'll say upfront, that I like it, and hope to see season 9 soon. But it has its drawbacks.

With this season, you get each episode, unmodified in any way (good or bad). That is all. No deleted scenes, no gag reel, no previews, no bonus content of ANY kind... not even subtitles. Nothing is remastered, polished, enhanced, or corrected in any way.

Keep the above in mind when it comes to the price. Typically, when I buy the DVD for something its to experience MORE of the product. I've seen Night Court on TV, I want the DVDs for all the extra goodies that tend to come with them. In this regard, there are no extras.

On the other hand, Night Court does not air on any network I have access to and its been years since I have seen an episode. So this model is providing the one thing that no one else is... Night Court. Not more, but Night Court all the same. After all these years, I still chuckle...
