OK, so it’s not an official studio release, just a DVD someone has assembled from video cassette recordings, but it was still great to see it again after all these years. I watched the pilot episode this evening. I’m not sure I’d seen the pilot previously, but I think I saw most of the regular episodes. Hard to believe that was more than a quarter century ago.

The pilot was funny though fairly predictable. It would have been better without the laugh track. Do they really think that the viewing audience is too dumb to know when to laugh?

I’m amazed that the studio hasn’t yet offered an official DVD. It wouldn’t be a number 1 hit, but Quark seems to have a respectable cult following, so I think they’d sell reasonably well. Certainly I’ve seen much worse junk on DVD.

I’ll have to make a copy for my friend Ficus.
