New Comedy DVDs: April 1, 2008

This weeks comedy DVD releases comprise a trio of sitcoms from the past fifteen years or so: the Ted Danson series Becker, Martin Lawrence‘s breakthrough self-titled show Martin, and the long-running celebration of youth and yesteryear called That ’70s Show.

If I had to pick one of these box sets to buy, I’d probably go with the fourth season of Martin, just for old times’ sakes, since I watched the sitcom pretty regularly when it originally aired. Like too many good things on TV, however, it kind of faded out at the end.
