Special Features
A very small collection of DVD features are included with the box set. Audio commentary on the pilot episode by director Kenneth Johnson provides a unique take on the making of the show. On disc 4 is an episode from season 2 titled “Stop the Presses” starring Pat Morita.

Overall
I love this show even though it was never faithful to its source material. The obvious change is the characters name from Bruce to David. This was done because the network at the time felt that the name Bruce was allegedly, "too gay.” Bill Bixby really made you feel for David. Along with the sad piano music I always felt sad for the character.

I am glad that the season box sets are finally coming to DVD. I only wish we had more features. Recommended.
