Season 2 DVD: Where are the extras??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Edster2973 · 03-23-2004, 11:41 PM

Hello,

Just got the DVD set of Season 2 of Will & Grace today and I'm a little confused. To my knowledge, we were supposed to get outtakes from Seasons 1 & 2, plus commentaries from the show's producers. None of that seems to be here. The only thing included are featurettes (which get on my nerves if I try to sit through them in one sitting) and sub-titles. Am I missing something?

Does anyone know where the other features are? Perhaps the present feud between NBC & the producers halted some of the extras. Does anyone know???

I got the season 2 dvd check disc samples a few months ago, and there were no extras on them other then the featurettes. The featurettes on my samples were the same as the ones on the season 1 dvd set according to the tvshowsondvd.com review.

I know amazon.com lists multiple bonus features, so either they have the information wrong or there was a last minute change.

This stinks then. I was looking forward to the outtakes. I love stuff like that. BTW, the features are also listed at www.tvshowsondvd.com

Guess it was pulled at the last minute...

How dissapointing!!!!!

The set was previewed as -

"Special features will include Featurettes, Outtakes from the first two seasons, Commentary tracks by the show creators
and much more!"

I checked every disk and couldn't find any outtakes or commentaries. Talk about a let down!!!

Those featurettes are pretty dumb. Not very interesting extras.

********SIGH**************

Oh well, at least we have the uncut episodes.

That sucks you guys should write letters and tell them that there was false advertising I think ET mentioned the DVD with bloopers too. If they get enough letters maybe they will pull them off the shelves and make new ones. I'm glad I didn't buy mine yet.

Does that mean you found them or that you think they could be an easter egg?

Just wondering but is it still worth the 30 dollars for the DVD with or without extras?

Of course it is. I mean, the main reason for any DVD set of a TV show is the show's episodes, and that is presented with flying colors. But when you're told about 3 months ahead of time that certain extras are to be included, including outtakes (which I just love!!!), it's a bit of a letdown when they're not included with nary an explanation. So yeah, buy the set. The eps alone are worth it, but I am disappointed about the extras. It's almost like we were lied to...

Guys, the DVD for seasons 1 and 2 have extra footage over here in Scotland. I have the video (VHS) which doesn't contain extras but my mate has... I have season 3 and 2 discs of season 4 which have extras...
