Well I know I do not own this yet. I still however am giving it 5 stars. This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I remember seeing it one day at like 1 in the morning and the squiggle of the lines made me sick. But as I watched it I got used to it and soon came to think of it as one of my favorites. Plus the squiggles went awa in the second season I think. The humor stayed though.
Some may ask why? Why buy it if you already have the seasons by themselves? Well I collect cartoon stuff. I am only 23 and just started but I know that this will be a great collection to add. The exrta stuff in the set is worth buying it for alone. Even the case that it all comes in. Also, the soundtrack is a cool thing to add.
In the end it comes down to this. I think any fan of Home Movies will like this set for any or all of the reasons I have listed above. Plus it is SUCH a good price!

I bought this set as a mutual anniversary present, and it was great! My fiance and I are big fans of Brendan Small, and we’ve always enjoyed Home Movies, and this came with every episode, some bonus material, and a CD featuring all the music from the series. I could not have been happier with the purchase. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Brendan Small or to anyone who just enjoys good comedy. Five stars, all the way through.

Home Movies is an amazing cartoon show that aired on Adult Swim. If you’re a fan of Dr. Katz or stand up comedy, you should definitely check out this series. If you already have the individual series on DVD, there isn’t anything new in this series package except for the boxed set case, a Home Movies canvas bookbag, and a Home Movies director’s clipboard. To me, since I already own the individual seasons, those three extras aren’t worth buying the series over again, although I would have if they had included some new commentaries and other video extras. If you like intellectual humor, don’t miss out on this great show.

I enjoyed watching this DVD series. It is one of my favorite TV shows. It’s pretty funny; not overly sophisticated but not stupid humor. The special features were alright, if you’re a real big fan of the show. I only watched some of them because it became a bit repetitive after a bit, since there really are a LOT of special features. Each disc has maybe about 45 minutes worth on average, some have considerably more.
The box itself was nice and durable. The DVD cases are a bit thin and mushy but they’re plastic so they should stay intact for a long time. The clapboard was surprisingly well made. I was expecting something cheapo or even cardboard but it’s made out of some kind of hard plastic or something I think, can’t remember exactly. The bag is alright for what it is. Mostly felt like one of those cloth bags you get form the grocery store for $1 to carry your groceries in. Probably alright for carrying a few light things, but I wouldn’t use it for anything long-term or particularly heavy. They sorta make sense for this TV show, but I would’ve liked something a bit more useful like a mug or a mousepad or something like that.
The DVDs themselves were reasonably good quality. The first season had that kinda motion blur interlace effect when I was watching it on the computer that was only correctable by halving the resolution. I suppose that’s not an issue for people watching on CRT televisions. The last 3 seasons were nice and sharp, though. No interlacing effects and the lines were clean and defined.

If you don’t wanna wake up at extremely early morning and a fan of this great series, Why not get this? This 10th anniversary set contains The complete show. Its great now that I don’t have to wake up at 4am in the morning to watch this and Now I can watch my favorite characters (Couch Mcguirk, Perry and walter, and Jason) when ever I have free time. 100 dollors worth spent.
