I GOT PUNK'T!, January 20, 2004
Imagine Candid Camera on steroids... done with celebrities! They do a nice job on this show. The host makes sure you know who the celebrities are and explains the practical joke and how it will be set up. But this is not your ordinary practical joke! Imagine this... how do you think Frankie Muniz, the star of "Malcolm in the Middle", reacts when he thinks his very expensive Porsche has been stolen? HA! What a riot! In general, the transfer to DVD is done nicely. The video in full screen format is very decent, just a little graininess. The video quality is certainly better than cable. The stereo 2.0 sound is acceptable. The voices are very clear and easy to understand. I'm not sure what the movie rating on this would be, but there is plenty of strong language and gestures not used in polite company. The extras are better than average. Several are very funny, including deleted scenes that you access by pressing enter when an icon appears. There are two bonus pranks that are worth watching. Funny stuff. I love to hear them say, "I got PUNK'T!"

The start of the show on an above-average DVD, September 8, 2005
The first season is always special in a television show's life, especially when they manage to live on for subsequent seasons. Punk'd is now past its 5th season at the time I'm writing this, and the show didn't completely master its present-day formula until its second season.
As such, this season is clearly more experimental and less refined than it has become later on. The most noticeable difference is of course that roughly once per episode, they're pulling pranks on random everyday people, rather than celebrities.
That's not to say this season isn't worth owning; in fact, some would argue Punk'd didn't get any better than this. I don't agree with the latter and don't hold Season 1 too high among my favorites, although there are some fun pranks to be found here, such as the one with Jessica Alba.
Matching the first season's experimental nature, the DVD itself is also less refined than that of Season 2. The most annoying omission is that the feature to watch all bonus deleted segments without having to sit through the original episodes is not yet available here. The presentation is all right otherwise; video quality is nice other than the deleted scenes - an unfortunate trait shared with the Season 2 DVD - and some minor glitches in the second episode's segment with Mandy Moore.
