Duck
Dynasty: The Final Season
Duck
Dynasty comes to an end in this Final Season that's a
fitting end to our heroes. These rednecks turned millionaires
continue to grow as a family as Lil' Will gets a car, Reed gets
married, Baby Gus turns a year old, and Rowdy's adoption goes through
- all of which are good bookends for the family members themselves.
Usually broadcast on A&E, the series lands on DVD for fans to go
(duck) hunting for.
15
Episodes span two discs and include The West Monroe Wing,
Automation Frustration, Razing the Snakes, Uneasy Rider, Good Willie
Hunting, Sleep Cover, Drive-in Revivin', Fishful Thinking, When Doves
Fry, Carpnado, The Campfire Diaries, Rowdy's Big Day, Disappearing
Acts, Dance Dads, and End of an Era.
Presented
on DVD in standard definition and a widescreen aspect ratio of
1.78:1, the show looks and sounds comparable to digital broadcasts on
television. The sound mix is a simple, lossy English 2.0 Dolby
Digital Stereo audio track that is pretty standard and nothing
impressive or terrible. Colors and details could be enhanced on a
Blu-ray edition but for what this is, this is fine.
No
Extras.
Fans
should feel fulfilled with this final and bittersweet season of the
hit show.
Shark
Week: Shark and Awe! Collection
Shark
enthusiasts the world over will adore this amazing six disc DVD
collection of some highlights from 2015 and 2016's seasons of
Discovery's Shark Week in this newly released ''jawsome''
collection. Infamous as a villain of nature, throughout the course
of this documentary series you are destined to get a whole new
understanding of sharks, and maybe even start to feel for them a bit
too.

While
this set would have been even more fantastic in HD, we get this
collection in standard definition with a 1.78:1 widescreen
presentation and standard-sounding English lossy 2.0 Dolby Digital
Stereo audio track. Comparable to the other television broadcasts,
the series looks up to par with the DVD format. No digital copies.
No
extras.
Spanning
twenty two hours and thirty five minutes in length, the Shark
Week: Shark and Awe! Collection will melt your brain with shark
footage and shark facts. Hopefully, a 4K version of this collection
will be available in the future.
