Product: Creature Comforts - The Complete Second Season (2006)
Rating: 5.0
"It's for fans...", and that's be cause WE get it! More for us!
I just finished viewing Disk One of the two-disk set, and I'm full of that good, warm glow Aardman fans get after we've gotten our "fix". Wonderful stuff! One sourpuss Amazon reviewer said something like it was "not as funny" as Season One. Bosh! It's a DIFFERENT kind of funny is all: different interviewees, different subject matter, different etc. Plus we've all seen CREATURE COMFORTS Season One (and some of us have seen the ORIGINAL CC), so there's the absence of the "Wow, that's a surprisingly funny program" feeling we all experienced in the past. It's now time for Aardman fans to sit back, smile happily, and enjoy watching the humor and the "interviewing-humans-to-be-animated-as-animals" schtick EVOLVE, like all good and durable humor does naturally! True enough: die-hard Aardman fans will love this DVD set... but that's just because we GET IT! Casual one-off viewers in a certain country (you know who you are...) will say its humor is "too subtle". CC, Wallace & Grommet, and Shaun the Sheep NEVER WERE ABOUT BELLY LAUGHS, people. Get... a... CLUE! I haven't even seen Disk 2 (hasn't arrived from Netflix yet), but I'm buying CC Season Two. So should you, if you're an Aardman fan. Never mind the "It's too subtle" crowd: that just leaves more for those of us who "get it".PS. The "making of" bonus featurette is quite engrossing and adds real value to the DVD set. It was shot, edited, and produced by the bloke who does all the human-character interviews. Very informative stuff.
