Don't Fear The Reefer

The little show that bounced
The seasons of Grounded for Life are kind of a mess. The last five episodes of season one weren't run until season 2. But they are included on Season 1. For season 2, 17 new episodes were produced. This was also their last complete season on Fox as the third season had them swap over to the WB after only 3 episodes. This is one of those shows that deserves a DVD release since it was nearly impossible to follow the show when it was broadcast. Donal Logue was one of the great TV dads - he was like Robert Young - if Robert had knocked up his wife in high school and pretty much went from teenager to dad without getting to enjoy his misspent college years.

The episode on the set include:

Don't Let Me Download
Bang on a Drum
Smoke on the Daughter
I Saw Daddy Hitting Santa Claus
We Are Family
Mr. Roboto
Don't Fear the Reefer
Take It to the Limit
Eddie Said Knock You Out
Safety Dance
Relax!
The Kids Are Alright...

best program ever
as a uk resident, i had to wait until the early hours of the morning to watch GFL, and it was always the same few episodes repeated.

when i saw that the dvd's were to be released i was so happy.

GFL is one of those rare american tv shows that doesnt tire, and stays funny and realistic throughout. the characters are all beleivable, and are acted perfectly.

i cant wait for the rest of the seasons to come on sale.

Reissues are very poor quality
I have several of the original DVDs from Anchor media and they are all that a DVD should be. Top quality, clear picture. great packaging. These new reissues look like they were dubbed off of some old VHS tape. Of course, they compressed the video to get more vids on each disc. The originals have 6-7 episodes per disc. These have 10 or more. May as well get out the old vhs and record them off Abc Family. I have Dish Network and the quality is much better than these discs. But if this is all you can find......you will still get to view these vids from this Outstanding TV series
