The Fairly Odd Parents Season 4

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

My son and I are both hearing impaired, so it was disappointing to see that the episodes on these DVDs do NOT include closed captions or subtitles, which are a standard feature on the vast majority of DVDs sold today. The DVDs for Seasons 1 and 2 of the Fairly OddParents have closed captions, but the DVDs for Season 4 and Season 3 do not.

The blame for this omission rests squarely on Amazon, as Amazon manufactures these discs on demand through its “CreateSpace system.” Amazon describes it this way on their web site: “When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.” I assume that when an Amazon representative burned the discs for Fairly OddParents Seasons 3 and 4, he or she did not bother to take the time to burn the closed captions.

I notice that Fairly OddParents Seasons 3 and 4 are sold on Amazon Prime, and those digital episodes include subtitles and closed captions. The DVDs that Amazon sells should include the subtitles and closed captions, too. Amazon clearly has the captions, they just don’t include them on the DVDs, and that’s just wrong.
