Thoughts on the Season 2 DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is the best DVD set ever! I checked out most of the extras. I didn't think the unaired pilot was that bad. What a weird theme song though. Those two girls definitely weren't right for the parts. I think Zoe would have been an interesting character if they kept her. Oh and not to mention the unedited episodes. I liked that balloon shaving scene in"Jack Looks for a Job". For less than $30.00 you can't go wrong. I can't wait for season 3! Maybe they'll have a few episodes of the Ropers on it.

I love it too!!! I think the Blooper section is the best!! when we can see john messing with the camera is classic!!

I HOPE they show us more behind the scenes stuff on the 3rd season dvd!

I have always wanted to know where exactly ALL the sets were located

WE get to see that next to The Girls Bedroom & Bathroom .. the Reagle Beagle set is right next to it

I wanna know where ALL the other sets were located.. what set was next to Their Kitchen!!!

I was interested about the sets too. I was watching it and said , "Hey there's the Regal Beagle!" Hopefully they have more bloopers for the future. After watching the show for so many years, its very surreal seeing them mess up their lines. This Dvd is a fan's dream.

Maybe they will add all 6 episodes of Season one of The Ropers.

I love the DVD. The first pilot and the bloopers are my favorite, I also like the tribute for John with Joyce. All the episodes play great, and its interesting to see how much N@N actually cut out.

The only problem I have is the Audio Commentary with chris mann for Days of beer and weeds doesn't work. All it does is play the episode, I thought there was suppose to be him talking about the episode or something. Can someone clear this up for me? I don't know what it is suppose to be. And I don't know if there is something I need to do to make it work.

My favorite moments

Jack jumping on Chrissy,thinking she was his date in Ground Rules

Misunderstanding conversation between Janet & Mr.Roper in Cyrano de Tripper

Jack knocking out the guy who called Chrissy a hooker without knowing that he was a cop in Chrissy's Night Out

Misunderstanding where Mrs.Roper goes into the girs' bedroom seeing Jack on Janet's bed with Janet in The Rivals

Jack walking in on Janet while she was taking a bath in Home Movies

Larry getting mad because he paid $50 for a Woody Woodpecker cartoon when he wanted a porn flick in Home Movies

I had the same problem with the commentary on my DVD. When I selected "Days of Beer and Weeds" to play from the episode list, that's when I got the version with the commentary, but when I selected the version with the commentary from the "Extras" menu, it played the episode without the commentary. I found I was able to correct this flip-flop error just by reloading the DVD (opening and closing the player, that is.)

I did what you said, and it works now, thank you so much

I like everything so far!

However...I had a problem with the 3rd disc. I haven't tried this with the other eps yet, but when I selected "Play" to play the "The Baby Sitters" episode, it went to the halfway point in the episode! It didn't play the opening credits or anything. It just cut to where it fades into Jack holding the baby. I had to rewind it to see the whole episode, and it froze up for a moment in certain places.

So far, that's the only episode I've watched that got messed up. I'm going to go back later and look at the rest and see if the rest of the disc is like that. I never had any other problems with the eps on the same disc (I think "The Baby Sitters" is the 4th episode on the 3rd disc).

bb25 · 05-14-2004, 07:04 PM

That's the same problem I had with "Jack and the Giant Killer" on the Season 1 DVD. It would jump right to the scene at the Regal Beagle. I own a cheaper DVD player so I decided to try it on my parents, and it works fine. I did get it to work on my own player by reversing, like you said...but there's also a little trick where you reload the DVD, and then hold down the play button when selecting the episode (instead of just tapping "Play" once), and it started at the credits. I know that sounds glitchy and confusing, but that's how I got it to work for me.

Just goes to show that VHS wasn't the only tempermental home video format

Mrs. Ducky · 05-15-2004, 08:37 PM

I'm supposed toget my DVD Monday. I was wondering, what episodes are on the DVD?

swedeace · 05-15-2004, 09:44 PM

Out of the extras, I enjoyed the bloopers and the unaired pilot the most.

So far, I have watched discs 1 and 4, and I'm now watching disc 2. When it shows "Stanley Casanova," it stopped playing for me about halfway through and skipped right over to the next episode.

I haven't tried playing the episode again, but since someone mentioned about re-loading the disc in the DVD player, I will try that first.

TheMinistainer · 05-16-2004, 01:52 PM

All I can say is that I just bought the Three's Company Season 2 DVD set the other day and when I opened it there were scratches on the DVDs. If they keep putting out pre-scratched DVDs I may not want to buy them anymore. The bloopers skipped on my DVD about 10 or 12 times.

I think they should put out a separate Ropers DVD box set with all the episodes. With only one full season and a six-episode spring tryout, two sets would be milking it.
