bootleg quality...retail price
This review is for the DVD-R version of Bob's Burgers Season 2, not the show itself. The show is great! Fox decided to release season 2 on the cheap: the jewel case is low quality, the disks are ultra low quality (they also come with scratches all over them, free of charge), cheap stickers on the front of the disks instead of what you would expect from an official release, almost no special features. I can't believe Fox has the stones to charge $23 for 9 episodes and not even produce a quality DVD set. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!! If this is type of garbage product that Fox is going to release for it's TV shows, they will not get another dime of my money. I'd rather keep the shows on my DVR and fast forward through commercials before I buy another DVD-R product. I urge everyone that feels the same about the DVD-R sets to write reviews about them and show the tools that run Fox home entertainment what happens when they try to cheat and steal from the people that give them money.
Unacceptable
I already submitted a review to this but apparently it must've been deleted. Well, I want people to know about this so here is my second attempt to submit this and unfortunately isn't as detailed as my first... Bob's Burgers season 2 is a fine season of a fine show. Not the best show out there but a pretty good one and I know a terrible money-grub when I see it, so please don't assume I hate the show, because I don't. Not only are there four less episodes in this DVD set than the last one, but there are no commentaries (the first one had multiple commentaries on every episode), teases you into thinking there are season 3 episodes by referencing them in the cover art (not to mention the only special feature is a table read for one act of a season 3 episode that isn't even on the DVD) and perhaps worst of all, it's a cheap DVD-R like The Cleveland Show season 3. Thirty dollars for this? Hell no. If you MUST watch these, stream them on Netflix. Avoid at all costs, contact Fox and Amazon...
Not even closed captioned!!
My husband and I had been eager to get season two on DVD as we have watched season one so many times I was worried we'd wear it out before two became available! While I understand everyone's disappointment with the low episode count and lack of special features, I like the show so much I had no problem paying for it despite the reviews. However, had I known there were no sub-titles or closed caption, I would have saved my money!! My husband is extremely hard of hearing, and totally dependent upon the closed caption. We were so disappointed that even this 'special feature' was lacking!! In this day and age, it is EXPECTED to be there, unless you are buying a public-domain super-discounted poor quality DVD. I wish the 'closed caption status' of EVERY product would be disclosed as part of the product description. I have not often been burned by the fact that if the description doesn't SAY it is CC then you have to assume it is NOT, but on a 'new' product like this I didn't even...
