Lou Grant The Complete First Season
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
This is a great example of how the whole focus of entertainment used to be different. This is a quality show, with quality production values, great acting, and they obviously had a couple of great writers. You will not be sorry. This is a mature show. I’m so happy we can get these older shows as I am prettymuch incapable of watching the garbage they’re pedaling today. Each episode is gold here. Topical, inspirational and engaging.- hawkeye
Thanks to Shout! for FINALLY bringing this series to DVD.An extremely well written (but not *over* written, as per certain far more recent tv news dramas) and well performed series looking at journalism and social and political issues in an engaging and easily accessible way. At the some time creating some well-rounded and lovable characters. Not only that, but there is plenty of humour too.To those who haven’t seen this series, don’t think it’s dry and talky. It was an important series in its day, and remains as entertaining now as then.- Simes
Lou Grant was one of my favorite television shows. I have fond memories of watching it with my family. Memories of certain episodes have stuck with me over the years.I have watched all the episodes in this season one dvd set on my flat screen HD television. The picture quality is very good considering the series started in 1977. When I play it in 4:3 picture mode on my television the picture looks the best but there are bars on the left and right sides of the picture. When I use the “screen to fit” mode on my television the picture appears in full on my television though it is a tiny bit stretched. I have been using the “screen to fit” mode and am happy with picture. The difference is barely noticeable.The episodes play fine. I did not notice any scratches or jumps in the video. The sound is excellent as well. Considering the first episode aired September 27, 1977, Shout! Factory did an excellent job with the transfer.-scesq
