BookmarkHome Movies is one of the first [adult swim] animated cult classics. With an alcoholic soccer coach for a father-figure and a woman who swears during parent/teacher conferences for an actual mother, eight-year-old Brendon Small (voiced and created by Brendon Small, now of Metalocalypse fame) chronicles his life as a jaded third-grader who happens to have the brain of a twenty-something-and who uses his video camera to cope with the trials of his oddly precocious life.
The Home Movies Limited Edition Megaset includes 12 DVDs containing every single episode, commentary track and other bonus features found in the four original DVD box sets, as well as the 52-song CD included in the Season Four set. This deluxe box also includes two Home Movies items available nowhere else :
Exclusive Home Movies Canvas Book Bag
Exclusive Home Movies Director’s Clapboard
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.
For those who already know what a clever and endearing show Home Movies is, this is a perfect gift. I gave this to my boyfriend for his birthday, and we couldn’t wait to watch every episode from start to finish. I wish I had known about this before buying one of the individual seasons. We’ve not gotten to enjoy all of the special features yet, but I’m sure we’ll be enjoying this set for years.
Home Movies is by far my favourite show on tv. its hilarious, witty, and fun to watch at any time of the day.
I cant get enough of Coach McGuirk. arguably everyones favourite character. My friends and I find ourselves quoting him about 50% of the time we talk. And the goodies inside are great. A must buy for any Home Movies fan and collector. Highly recommended.
