I haven't seen anything mentioned about this DVD, but it's soooo darn good!
Originally developed for the BBC, "Rex the Runt" is a story of Rex, a dog, and his canine friends Bad Bob, Wendy and Vince. This is the first time the series has been seen in North America; it hasn't aired on TV.
My friend and I sat down and nearly died laughing while we did a marathon session of all 26 episodes from the 2 seasons. The humor of the show is "out there", so it should appeal to the demented side of us. Vince is my favorite character, with his "random Pavorotti disease" and his love of Hoovers.
The only problem with this set (and it's kind of a big one) is the audio channels on the second disc have been swapped. Right is left and left is right. I've alerted the A&E PR person and I HOPE they will fix it. This is such a great set and a problem like that really drags it down. Even with the audio problem I'd still recommend it.
Anyway, if you want to read my review of the set, it's up at: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/siterevi...ReleaseID=1371
