This cd has terrible sound quality. I'm disappointed I won't be able to use it for my wedding.

This series must be one of the most overrated I've ever seen. I'd been waiting almost twenty years to watch it - ever since I read about it in a book called "MTM: Quality Television." What a disappointment!Another reviewer puts it bluntly: it just isn't funny. There's no doubt Dabney Coleman is very good, but Bittinger's not as odious a character (and therefore original) as I'd been led to believe. Danny DeVito/Louis De Palma on "Taxi" did it better years before. Moreoever, Coleman doesn't have any funny lines to say.The show is weakly written and the humour rather obvious. It's certainly not a terrible show, but it's not worth owning.

I purchased this DVD set because of the cast but the writing is terrible. I watched the first five programs and then gave up. It's a waste of time.

Buffalo Bill - The Complete First and Second SeasonsAh, as a teenager, I so enjoyed this show. Pretty shifty for a sitcom, it caught some of us as well as a good many critics. But the network didn't know what to do with it, lacking faith in their little duck of a show. With such a crap transfer and an obnoxious laugh track, this set begs a question:Why bother releasing something if you're not going to respect it at all?!?4 stars for the show, 0 stars for the release = 2 stars

. . . Only, maybe, in short bites. But buying the Season 1&2 and seeing all episodes end-to-end is definitely overloading. The bile is only diluted by the brightness of a beautifully-young Geena Davis and the smart sexiness of Joanna Cassidy. By the end of Season Two, Bill just seemed plain vile and mean-spirited.Although there were some moments, the overdone caricatures of the milk-toast producer, continuously- obsequious stage manager and stilted/ dated writing makes Bill into buffalo chips. Dabney Coleman is a terrific talent; if the writing and characters were better done, he and his ensemble could've, should've made it past the two-season mark by a long, long way.

Here's an example of a sitcom that had a perfect cast, a great plot, and even a cool theme song. It just wasn't (and still isn't) very funny. Almost every "joke" falls flat. But don't worry, if you should find yourself NOT laughing at any of the jokes, the annoying "laugh track" (canned laughter) seems to be having a great time!If not for the 80's nostalgia and great cast, which includes Dabney Coleman, Joanna Cassidy, and a very young Geena Davis, this would be a VERY painful viewing experience. Don't believe the critics who cliam it was "too hip" to survive. The reason you're not laughing isn't because you "don't get it", it's because it isn't very funny. A shame that Jim Borrows and Glen and Les Charles (Taxi, Cheers) weren't at the helm, then it might have had some REAL laughs and could have become a true classic!Still worth a look for 80's nostalgia hounds!JM
