Re: If and when it ever shows up...flamencanycNovember 30 2007, 04:56:46 UTC
Showed up damaged -- I think the UPS gorilla got to it -- had to return it for exchange. Got the replacement yesterday.
I know I'm in the minority on this, but I love the design of this box set. It's clean, simple, clear, compact, and easy to handle with just enough nostalgia to tug at the heartstrings.
I like that they kept the rainbow theme, but it's subtle. I like that they have cast photos on the outside but didn't go whacko like on the S5 box. I like that each season's folder and discs have the photos from that season's original set on them but that they didn't use things like the insane gold hypnosis spiral from S5 etc. And I really love that they put brief episode synopses on the season folders.
And despite the unfortunate lack of G & R at the reunion lunch, I thought it was a lot of fun with lots of new tidbits and a good look at most of our folks today. Even Hal was on his best behaviour and had some interesting things to add, though he was clearly the odd man out.
