DVD Review: All in the Family Season 1 - Page 2

Audio is as unspectacular as it could be. As long as the viewer can make out Reiner and O'Connor's screaming at their peak, it's all you could expect from a show of this age. Mono fans rejoice. (***)

Extras are inexcusably barren. Since the majority of the cast remains alive, including some of the writers/directors, there's not a valid excuse out there for not bringing them back to reminisce. Future seasons on DVD, up to now, fare no better. (No stars)

Packaging is just as awful, featuring a three-tiered case that opens horizontally. Inside, there's nothing. The barren white DVD holders are ugly, and the obviously re-touched photos on the front don't help with the presentation either. Episodes are recapped on a plain sheet of paper slipped inside. This show deserves more care than this.
