Doesn't surprise me.....it did poorly on TV and while it would be a moderatly good seller on DVD it probably won't stack up to X-Files type sales. Less discs more profit.

Nice. I like it. Although it doesn't really mesh with the look of the X-files sets.

Hopefully they'll be some decent special features. This show cracked me up, so I might add it to my collection someday. I wish they would have kept the boxart in the same style as X-Files, but what are you gonna do?

Anyone have problems with their disks?
I got through the whole season, flipped over Disk 3 to Side B, ready to watch the Season Finalé, and the player just straight refused the disk. Didn't even recognise it as a DVD!
How frustrated am I? I hate double sided disks!

I forget how cheesy and corny some of the episodes are. While I did enjoy the show I now recall why it didn't last that long on the air. I'm glad to own it since I was such a fan of them on The X-Files but too much time with these 3 characters can wear on my nerves real fast.

I'd never seen the show before, but some of the episodes had me crying with laughter, particular Episode 7, "Planet of the Frohikes"
I really liked the show as a whole (well, excluding the season finalé as I can't watch that yet
). There were 2 or 3 episodes that weren't up to the standard of the rest of them, but even those were still very enjoyable

Well, it's taken three sets to get one that was not scratched on one or two of the sides. Thank God Amazon is so cool about exchanges. I had to piece together a good set from the three they sent me.
Of course though there were finger prints all over the discs that I had to clean off.
I tried to call Fox to complain about their ever present quality of product issues. No one answered. I'll keep trying.
And come on, I thought Dual Discs were a thing of the past and now they seem to be returning with a vengence. King of the Hill Season 3 was also on Dual Discs. Had trouble with that set as well.
Now, I must watch the set as fast as a can and check for any problems.
Thanks again Fox for not bothing to produce QUALITY TV season sets. It's a shame that you never feel 100% safe after buying a Fox TV set until you watch each disc to check for problems.
I'm starting to wonder if ordering the Fox TV sets is even worth the trouble anymore.

I blind-bought mine. I love the X-files and really liked the "Gunmen" so this was a no-brainer for me. I have'nt watched the set yet. hopefully it will be scratch free!

The final side of my final disc played with no problems.
I have to say the TV spots for this show had to be some of the worst advertisements EVER for a TV show. It was painful to click play all and sit there for all 4 short, but painfully long, promos.

Did your friend happen to get his from CD-Wow?....if so i wonder whether they have a 'faulty' batch of them in which case getting a suitable replacement from them might not be so easy etc.

They actually refunded him as they had no more in stock.

For anyone else who has similar problems and finds this thread hoping to get a solution, I've been told the number to call is 1-888-223-2FOX.
Updated to include the correct number for Fox.

I just finished disc 2 of my set and noticed that the sides are reversed. I have both sides but they don't match the labels. Were they all like this or just mine?
I'm not going to bother exchanging since I do actually have both sides, just curious if this was done on every disc 2. I do wish they were single sided discs. They really went cheap on this set to maximize their profit. It's still better than nothing, at least the show was released and the content is nicely done.
