My friend told me about this show and it sounded like it was decent. So, based upon his high recommendation, I got this DVD from Amazon, and I was NOT Disappointed!

First thing is that this is a burn-to-order DVD like others have said, but you could have fooled me! The DVD is a sliver DVD, not a purple DVD-R, with the label painted on, no sticker!

Second the series is hilarious!!!! It reminds me of my High School days more than most teen comedies, as the characters are very believable and the humor is very funny but not over the top zany like say 'American Pie'. (Don't get me wrong, I love 'AP' too!)

Third I was not expecting RJ to be wielding that "third leg" of his, and for the whole school to have seen it! The pilot episode had me hooked for that, and I expect that he will start to be less of a geek because of it too, as the series continues and he starts using it more! :-P

Now on to my fourth point, and it's my only complaint. It's still censored which isn't a very big deal as I think the pilot episode is the only one with language that needed bleeping. Still it would have been nice uncensored.

Final I'm very grateful that they are making this available to the fans, and wish more companies would do burn-to-order too! (I'm still waiting for 'King of the Hill' Seasons 7-14! FOX!)
And for the first time in over a decade I have a reason to watch "M"TV!

First a pet peeve. Why must people continue to provide adverse reviews that have nothing to do with actual merits of the show? My discs were scratched, the packaging is asymmetrical, etc. Boo fricking woo! This would be synonymous with me giving this series a 1* rating because I dislike the Key Grip and the Best Boy! For a show with a small number of reviews this is a real disservice.

This is a laugh out loud funny show that will NOT appeal to everyone. The humor is vulgar and for the most part has sexual overtones. The closest comparable would be the UK series "The Inbetweeners." If you like "The Inbetweeners" you will like this. I watched 2-seasons in 2-days and still find myself laughing at some of the one liners.

There is a reasonable enough outline of the show on Amazon. My highest recco for anyone that likes this type of comedy.

Wow! what a great tv show! Haven't seen one like this in a while! Not many shows in a high school environment are done as well as this. From the cast, to the funny jokes, it's an amazing show. And i recommend watching it. You never know, I didn't think I would like it.

Love this funny and irreverent show. This is definitely not for kids but very entertaining for adults. It would get five stars if they put more episodes on each disk so you don't have to change disks so frequently.

I loved the show and thought it was a nice add to my dvd collection amount other things. I'm not disappointed with the lack of subtitles like the other reviewers because I have no need for it. I would have given the dvd a 5 star rating but like for other people the dvd case was poor quantity. Two of the disc won't stay in place!!! Other wise the set is alright.

I just love this series!
I never really watched MTV as much as I do now after getting in MTV's "The Hard Times Of RJ Berger"!
The DVD set is good but I took away one star for no sub titles.
Anyways if you love teen comedies then you will totally like this!

Watch for the new season coming March 24th 2011!

This is the most realistic TV portrayal of American family life ever made. All the adults in RJ's life are perfect role models. His father shows up to the high school car-wash fundraiser just to point his camera at all the dripping-wet hot chicks. RJ's mother is an absolute doll. She catches him jacking off in bed, realizes what she has done and politely excuses herself. That night at the dinner table, she tells the other couple -- she and her husband are unapologetic swingers -- how cute RJ was when she caught him masturbating that morning. His school guidance counselor advises RJ to grab his dream girl on the rebound and "hump the bejesus out of her." His boss, Mrs. Robbins, seduces him. The two are caught in bed by Mr. Robbins who explodes in a fit of anger. When RJ tries to interrupt and explain himself, Mr. Robbins screams, "Don't you say a word ... ... and ruin this perfect moment." He then proceeds to strip down and jump into bed with his wife and the high-school boy she is seducing. Yes, the show is twisted.

All RJ wants is the girl his guidance counselor told him to "hump the bejesus out of." But not really; he wants her to want him for who he is. Twisted, but in the sweetest way you could ever imagine.

this show just gets better and better. as with every season on Madmen ( in my opinion) it starts out a bit slow but then you get hooked and BAM, you can't stop watching. a must have for anyone who has the rest on dvd/blu ray

Great show. Pretty raunchy, but HELLA funny! RJ is such a like-able character. You're rooting for him the whole time. He has a sweet heart and he's a good guy. Lily is hilarious and Miles is disgusting, but hilarious. I was really unsure when I saw the previews for this, but it's really funny. Quirky, but awesome. (Then again, I am in college so maybe it's just my age group) LOL.

I thought this season was delightful.The artwork looks professional.The discs don't look like their dvd-r.The only thing that looks unprofessional is the back cover it shows a picture of rj and then on the bottom has a synopsis and a list of episodes.One other thing i thought this set wouldn't have was special features.Overall,I thought this set was very well done artwork, menus, and show is great.
