Review Wanted: Cabin Boy

I haven't seen any reviews on this yet. Can anyone give me any info on picture and sound quality, and what extras, if any are on it?

Thanks.

Sound is stereo (didn't notice any pro-logic play). Picture is quite good, colors vibrant. I thnk there is a trailer, but I didn't get a chance to look at it.

Bare bones, but for 6 dollars at Best Buy, how can one complain.

Yeah, I picked it up for 6.99. At least you can't really expect much for that price, so I won't be disappointed.

Don't forget Get A Life Vol 3 & 4, it came out this week. 8 total episodes of Get a Life are on DVD! I want a series box set with deleted scenes, outtakes, and a Chris Elliot commentary.

Is Get a Life vol. 1 & 2 on the same disk and vol. 3 & 4 on the same disk?

Can anyone tell me how the Get A Life episode of 'Zoo Animals on Wheels' looks? I bought the DVD last December before it was recalled and the picture quality is horrible on that episode. I want to know if I should contact Rhino and get a replacement.

I thought that the episode looked pretty decent. Although it wasn't perfect you have to consider the source. I had heard that the previous Get a Life dvd that had "Zoo Animals on Wheels had pixilation problems, I detected no such problems on this release.


Something tells me that "Get a Life" masters were probably not taken care off as well as Friends masters, but the 8 Get a Life episodes that are out are pretty good and I'm happy with them.

Ok, thanks. One other question. Is the Easter Egg still on this version, where the producer is talking about how they acquired the rights to use R.E.M.'s "Stand" as the main title theme? If you haven't seen it yet, I believe you can access it by hitting either down or left on the main menu page. Thanks.
