Title: A Review From Someone Who Actually Owns the Product
Product review: I got this as a birthday present, because I am a big "MAY" fan. I thought, "Oh, wow! A 'best of' collection!!!" But the episodes are badly chosen, and only a few of my favorites are included. Also, so many are the ones Paul Reiser obviously thought were his best as auteur, so we are presented with way too many that are too fussy or too serious, including the three- (Lord help us) part episode where the Buchmans' marriage is put to the test (Gosh, don't we all want to watch all of THAT again?!!), and the "New Frontier in sitcoms? Not so much" episode where Paul and Jamie sit outside the bedroom door agonizing over whether or not to go in because the baby is crying.I'd recommend buying sets for separate seasons and just watching the ones you want, unless you think Paul Reiser was the Orson Welles of the 1990s, as Reiser apparently does. (The box says he and Helen Hunt chose the episodes, but you know Helen picked maybe two.)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
