1.0 out of 5 stars FUNNY SHOW.....HORRIBLE DVD QUALITY November 11, 2011

By D. Garza

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

These discs are made on demand and are as cheap as you can get. There is only 1 home page option and that is play epiosdes and that menu looks like a 3rd grader created it. There are no chapters, if you hit the chapter forward button it will skip to next episode. There are no episode titles or summaries anywhere in the package and the episodes are NOT EVEN IN ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extremely dissapointed in the packaging of this short lived show I enjoyed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, Poor Release May 2, 2012

By Edward M. Spearline

It was good to see Matthew Perry back on weekly series television. Sadly the show did not even last a full season. Happily it did make it to DVD. This DVD release has every episode even those not aired. And I am truly happy to have this show on DVD. What troubles me is the way it was slapped together. I have purchased MOD in the past but have never seen one so poorly produced. There is just one main menu. There is no way to select a specific episode other than hitting play and skipping ahead to the correct episode. There is also no way to jump to the next scene. In the end the quality is something I could have achieved on my home DVR. Very disappointing. But, if you are a fan of the show or Mr. Perry you will be glad to have these episodes in your collection. I rate this series as 5 star but sadly this release is 2 stars at best.

1.0 out of 5 stars They have a nerve May 2, 2012

By Judy Prouty

They have a nerve charging $30 for this very poorly produced DVD - see review by D. Garza. What a pity that this goofy, delightful show is being replicated like a pirated dvd. It is a double pity that Mr. Sunshine was cancelled after 1 season. Each of the lead characters was both cast and written perfectly. This was one funny and unusual comedy that deserved a longer life and a professional DVD version.
