Fed up with waiting for a region 2 release of my favourite cartoon series, this box set took a couple of weeks to arrive from the States. Packaging seems pretty cheap compared with the UK releases - just three double sided disks and no extras, but no big deal. What I wanted was further hill-arious adventures and I have not been disappointed! As with previous series, there is poignancy here (Bobby and Konnie's relationship), some surprisingly profound characterisation (Hank and Cotton's relationship) and lots and lots of laughs! Peggy's unfailing belief in the fluency of her Spanish on a school trip to Mexico is an absolute comedy tour-de-force! Watch out also for the double length Japanese feature containing some brilliantly observed humour, as Hank meets his long-lost half-brother. A couple of episodes seemed a little flat (the Olympic flame one springs to mind) but, on the whole, this is as good a series as any and highly recommended.
PS. Make sure your DVD player is multi region before ordering!
PPS. For an added laugh, try a couple of episodes with the Spanish language option. Boomhauer talking gibberish in Spanish and Kahn talking Spanish with a Laotian accent are side-splittingly funny!
