A great show demands great (and plentiful) extras!

The series Burn Notice is one of the best shows currently on television. It has an outstanding cast, intelligent scripts (with snappy dialogue) and a great look. However, I hoped for more from this DVD edition in terms of extras. The scene specific commentaries were good, but there weren't enough of them. Bruce Campbell always makes for a great commentary track, so if you've got him, make the most of it. Campbell's commentaries always have the right balance of technical craft, one-liners, critique, anecdotes and personality that makes commentaries worth listening to. The same goes for the blooper reel. With the chemistry and affection that the cast seems to have between and for one another, I have to believe that there must have been more bloopers worth seeing. In addition, given the location, stunts and effects, Burn Notice would have been a great candidate for an in depth behind-the-scenes doc (hey, give one of the PAs a video cam and show us how it's done!). Burn Notice has a simple premise, but each hour is packed with visual, narrative, informational and interpersonal elements that make it so unique and habit-forming. The potential of the DVD format simply begs for more in terms of the same intelligent but entertaining elements as they are expanded and enhanced through that sub-medium we know and love as "DVD extras."
