Watching it now. I haven't seen it since it originally aired. Such a funny show!

Same here -- I started watching it a couple days ago and am already 6 episodes into Season 2. Great show...Lithgow is BRILLIANT!

More like it's back on Netflix-they had it for a while and then it disappeared. Unfortunately, while a batch of Carsey-Werner '90s sitcoms were slated for an HD rerelease, this was definately given shoddy treatment. It looks like an upscaled, cropped version of the 4x3 format and not a true remastering from film elements, a la That '70s Show. It does look somewhat better than the old Netflix version, but otherwise is very disappointing, and the 5.1 audio is terrible (dialog comes out from all 3 front speaker). The only good thing about it is that it's finally back to watch. If it does come out on blu-ray, I'd boycott it.

Yes! I've been watching them, it's the first time of seen the episodes since they aired and so many of them are so memorable.

Too bad they have screwed up the transfers. They're cropped to 16x9 with missing information on the top and bottom edges, which makes some scenes look extremely cramped. One episode also has the front L+R channels in the 5.1 mix accidentally switched with the two surround channels as well. It's disappointing - just give us the original 4x3 shows, as they were originally broadcast, with the original stereo soundtracks!

There have also been around 3 episodes so far where the sound is way off, making them unwatchable.

I've been on a binge. This show was a masterpiece from the very first episode.

Watching now. So funny! Brilliantly written and acted.

episodes are out of order.....S1E3 Dicks First Birthday is clearly from a different season as JGL is older and has chopped his hair off. Now I'm wondering where the real Dicks First Birthday episode is.
