Finally, a real DVD of Quark
3 Comments Published by Eric November 5th, 2008 in Comedy, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, TelevisionThree years ago I got an unofficial DVD of Quark, the short-lived science fiction sitcom, but it was of very poor quality as it was mastered from video tapes from broadcast television. Now there’s an official DVD release.
That was a great show.
I have fond memories of Quark and its silliness, but it has a laugh track. I can’t stand laugh tracks anymore.
Cuse you, Charles Douglass!
I don’t like laugh tracks either, but I can tolerate them if they aren’t used as a crutch (a feeble attempt to make material that is only very slightly funny seem more funny).
Without the laugh track, how would the average couch potato know when it was funny?
According to the Wikipedia article on the laugh track, the DVDs of the M*A*S*H series allow the viewer to choose to listen with or without the laugh track. We need more DVDs (or Blu-Ray discs) with that feature.
