Since other reviewers had already discussed the movies on these DVD’s in their reviews and most of us already knew these movies, I am not going to waste our time to go over them again. I would like to report the technical details of these two DVD’s to help other people make their buying decisions.1) DISC ONE: Dual layer, The Money Pit, 91 minutes – Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85:1 – English 2.0, Spanish 2.0, English DTS 5.1, French DD 5.1 – English subtitle & SDH.2) DISC TWO: Dual layer, The ‘Burbs (106 mins) & Dragnet (102 mins). Both have the following specs: Anamorphic 1.85:1 – English 2.0, French 2.0 – English subtitle & SDH.The special features are: The making of The Money Pit, The ‘Burbs alternate ending and Theatrical Trailers for all 3 films.FYI, I bought The ‘Burbs on DVD a few years ago [*], which was on a single layer DVD. I can say that the copy of The ‘Burbs on disc 2 is the same as that DVD. I didn’t own The Money Pit & Dragnet on their own DVD’s before buying this set so I can’t talk for them. My friend who owned The Money Pit DVD told me Disc 1 was the same as what he had. I hope my report is helpful for other people.[*] The product info of The ‘Burbs DVD on Amazon says that it has an English DD 5.1 soundtrack. Actually, the English soundtrack on this disc is a DD 2.0 surround mix. If we run the movie through Dolby PL IIx or DTS Neo:6, the simulated 6.1/7.1 surround sound is very convincing.

Anyone who has bought an older home and discovered whata fixer upper is or leads to, can really relate to this movie. They canprobably relate to everything except having the money to do such a fixup, and hopefully most people have not had relationships with someone as shallow and conceited as the meistro, the wife’s former boyfriend.Next comes The Burbs. What happens when you don’t know how to take avacation anymore and all your friends also have lost that ability and do not know what to do with themselves!The answer, Become your own Neighborhood Watch group.Just hope that you don’t have neighbors like the Klopaks.Lastly Dragnet, where Tom teams up with Dan Aykroid as Joe Friday’s son.A great comic redo of a show that maybe was a little too serious, alittle tongue in cheek, and yet had everyone watching.For a few good nights of something to give you a laugh and let you knowthings could always be worse, pick up this DVD!
