I agree especially if like you said we just keep up the support on the messageboard you and 12thman,zaxxar have been great.

Marvo301 · 01-21-2010, 08:10 PM

Have you, by any chance, seen Disc 3 yet? My set seems to have some sort of problem with that disc, with the DVD going back to the blue screen after each episode plays rather than going back to the menu. I'm wondering if it is just my set or if they are all like this...

My DVD order arrived Saturday afternoon (along with Season 2 of ROOM 222). Only had a chance to watch the first episode on Disc 1 (the "Bowser Ball" episode)... just as funny as I remembered and the secondary storyline with Wesley doing a ventriloquist act with a "Mr. Belvedere" dummy was a riot!

I'm thinking the reason Mr. B AND ROOM 222 didn't sell well in retail is because they didn't seem to be as widely available as some other series releases. I can honestly say I don't remember seeing the first season of Mr. B at Best Buy at all (IIRC I got mine at Borders, and they seem to be cutting back on their in-store DVD selections) and the ONLY place I've ever seen season 1 of ROOM 222 available was at Barnes and Noble, so I'm thinking the "poor retail sales" may be attributed to the relatively scarce availability of these issues to begin with.

I received my copy yesterday as well and am enjoying it.

Skees, I checked disc 3 and after the end of each episode the next episode starts playing, even when "play all" has not been pressed. Also, I noticed on the disc & disc 1 that after the promo is played, the next epiosde's promo plays without going back to the main menu.

skees53 · 01-24-2010, 12:14 PM

That is strange, I don't have that promo problem at all, but on Disc 3, after each episode plays, the DVD just stops, and I have to hit the menu button to return to the main menu.

I have the same problem.

TV_Fan · 01-24-2010, 03:50 PM

I wonder why I have a different problem with disc 3. Maybe they rushed these sets into production.

When I first got season three back in Sept, the first few times I played the first disc, the first season of the first epiosde would skip except in play all. Now it works fine. I thought maybe it was my DVD player but others reported the same thing. I think its the way the discs are produced.

At any rate, I already finished watching the first disc of season four. I laughed my head off at "The Fall Guy", my favorite episode of the season so far. I'm actually hesitant to watch too many episodes at once because I don't want to finish the set too quickly. I'd rather take my time and savor it, though it's hard to not watch them all at once. With the last two sets I was actually sad when I finished them the first time (though of course I've rewatched most episodes several times already). I just hope season five doesn't get stalled. I noticed Shout! Factory raised the prices on all three of their DTC sets that had the 1/19 release date and that has me a little concerned.

Yes I have that exact same problem with disc 3!

tazz765 · 01-25-2010, 01:27 AM

The only other problem I noticed is that one of the episodes on Disc 2 (I believe Commentary) is missing about seven seconds or so of the closing credits.

I hope you contact the company about this so that you can get a fixed disc.

Vahan · 12-18-2010, 10:21 PM

So Monika, it's been almost a year since season 4 came out, and you still haven't gotten it yet? What's taking so long?

Please answer me.
