Ally McBeal: Season 2

The "Vonda what's her name's" show...
If you enjoy bad musicals, this may be the sitcom/dramedy for you. The loud vocals are pervasive, even during much of the characters' conversations. The only reason I can think of that this howling woman screeches throughout a wittily written series is that she is member of the cast or crew's relative. While the choice of songs is generally appropriate, for me the chosen vocalist ruins otherwise fondly remembered music and the volume of her shrieking often drowns out the clever dialogue. The "Vonda whatever her name is" show would be a more honest title.

The complete season 2!
The menus and navigating is a little awkward, but its the best we've got so I can't complain: I'm thrilled to see Ally again just as the episodes aired in good quality and with music in tact.

Don't worry if you don't have a Region 2 DVD Player: You can Use VLC Player to watch any Region DVDs on a PC or Mac set to any region. Google: VLC Media Player software, its a free download.

****UPDATE 11/2011:
It seems Amazon has once again combined many reviews on various formats of this DVD into one. The above review I did a few years ago was for the Region 2 version of Ally which was the only Ally McBeal Season 2 DVD that contained the original music. This new version of the DVD that Amazon has put my review on is for the new Region 1 US Canada version that finally has the original music.

quirky and funny
just love to watch it. some great laughs. One episode has Barry White performing. It's worth it just to see this one where he sings and they all do the famous Cage dance.
