Can't wait! Not a huge fan of the artwork but it might change. They did a good job on the season one set (althrough I think some Music was changed...Grr..) Fox was kind with Earl in terms of Bonus features last DVD release and they look like they are continuing that, althrough nothing beats the alt. vr. of the pilot episode BF.
This season was really good and was the best season finale out of the 3 NBC comedies I watch (Earl, Scrubs & 30 Rock).

No mention of how much music will be replaced in it... I'll wait till then to decide if it's a must-buy or not...

Regarding the whole music issue ... obviously I would prefer that shows be made available for purchase in as close to broadcast versions as possible (I don't want commercials or promos taking up 1/3 of the screen, thanks). BUT ... IMO, a lot of the songs used on MNIE seem to be a bit lazy. I watched a bit of both shows last night and several times thought that the songs used weren't necessary and in fact detracted from the show. Kind of like Forrest Gump (a movie I originally kind of liked but now can't stand) where there are stretches where there's a different oldies top 40 song playing every couple of minutes ... it's overkill.

Season One is better than Two overall, but only because Season Two had a couple of blah episodes.. however, the good episodes from Season Two were generally better than Season One.

I'll get this. It's one of the few shows I DVR on a regular basis and I think it can be funny as hell. Season Two had a good ratio of hilarious-to-shitty episodes so it's worth it for me. Cover art is pretty damn lazy.

Been looking forward to this ever since I finished the first season set.

I noticed that Season 2 seemed designed in such a way to make replacing the music hard. A lot of instances where a popular song is playing, the characters are singing along or referring to it in some way.

Still, since it's no cheaper elsewhere, it's a decent pickup.

Oh...little chance of me getting it in the UK then...
Not that bothered really, but you would have though it would have been a fun thing to include in the DVD package.
Heh...reminds me of the original scratch and sniff cards for Polyester for the cinema release...wish I had kept one.

I'm watching the "Get A Real Job" episode now, and it prompted for the Laugh n' Sniff card that is supposedly in the DVD setbox. Of course, the DVD set didn't come with the card. It looks like the Best Buy exclusive was meant to be originally included with all sets.

Geez, that is really stupid that they show a disclaimer to use it at the beginning (and refer to getting out of your DVD box), have the prompts........but don't actually give the card to everyone. Thumbs down!!
