The Big Bang Theory: Season 11 [DVD] [2017] [2018]

Works wellv

A two disc dvd box set, containing all twenty four episodes of the eleventh season of sitcom 'The Big Bang Theory.'This Is not a jumping on point. New viewers should start with season one.All episodes run eighteen to twenty minutes [approx.].Following on from the cliffhanging end to the previous season, major changes await Amy and Sheldon. Which is the main focus of the entire season.Meantime, Howard and Bernadette have another baby on the way. Which they really didn't plan for.Leonard and Penny just get on with life. And what the rest of it offers them.And Raj is still single, despite his best efforts.Will Sheldon and Amy's lives really change forever?Hate to say it, but this season is a bit tired. You have a superb opening episode, which shows off the strengths of this and the last two years. Major emotional character development moments really work because they are great moments for characters we really care about. But then, after a solid second episode, come two that only raise smiles and chuckles rather than belly laughs. But do still have good character moments.Then there's a run of five in a row with Sheldon being selfish and inconsiderate. Which, after all this time, finally gets rather annoying.It does then manage to allow Raj a bit of development. And the second half of the season, where is usually can drift and not have much focus, really does get going. This half of the season is stronger than the first, and really does build up excellent momentum. Leading a superb season finale.There's just the right amount of Stuart. Surprisingly little Bert. A good amount of Kripke and Wil Wheaton. And Leonard and Sheldon's mothers. Plus some good new appearances in the season finale and one character I never expected to see again. Some good big name guest stars also turn up. And it does write around Melissa Rauch's real life pregnancy well.The length of the episodes is in general a little bit longer than the last two seasons, so that does allow them to have a bit more meat on them than we've had in the past few years.Ultimately, a season that rallies and succeeds, but a show that, whilst still funny at it's best, has little life left in it now, so it's good that the twelfth year will be the last.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, Castilian Spanish, French.Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Swedish.Extras are all on disc two. And you don't get the usual comic con panel.Gag reel: Seven mins of outtakes. People messing up dialogue and lines and prop mishaps. But this series has always managed the best gag reels ever, and these are all funny.The Maturation Imperative. A very good ten minute long overview of the season.A BBT history of time. A lovely and brilliant six minute long tribute to Stephen Hawking. Has to be watched, especially for a special scene that's in it.The Big Bang Theory; The Blueprint of Comedy. A seven minute long overview of the penultimate episode and it's production. A good watch, but it doesn't stick in the mind for long.

So far this is just as fun as the previous series. I have all the others on DVD but nearly bought 11 on Bluray as it was £1 cheaper but it was out of stock.Unlike series 10, there's no UV Digital copy included which is a shame. I guess this was released just as UV was being shut down. Not really a big deal though just be aware.One thing that surprised me is that all 24 episodes and extras are squeezed onto 2 DVDs. The previous series were all 3 discs I believe so I'm guessing the bit rate is taking a hit here with 13 episodes on disc one meaning there's over 4 hours on each DVD. Luckily this a sitcom not Sci fi so it shouldn't be too noticeable.

I am happy to say that this season is better than I hoped, and far exceeded my expectations, with several laugh out loud moments in the first few episodes alone. Extremely well written, jokes come thick and fast , so as to demand repeat viewing for the slow coaches like myself. Like the previous season the first episode was a bit worrying, as was not particularly amusing, but it was fine to get the ball rolling and from the second episode they're back. Okay so they are older and some ground is retrodden, but the writing is so good that this can easily be forgiven by genuine fans of comedy and the BBT team. After 11 seasons it is to be expected that this will happen, and yes one or two cracks are beginning to show in this regard, but I think this is more to do with the characters getting older and it gradually becoming a show about family ups and downs, having babies, getting married, etc, the same happened in Friends and even Frasier to some extent. However unlike those two shows I believe that BBT has remained consistent and has not dropped the ball once in its comedic value and premise. Only once perhaps in the first episode of season 10 was I appalled at the poor casting choices. I recommend this season along with seasons 4-10 as being superb and extremely entertaining. When you return to the first 3 seasons and compare these to the last two you will see what I mean. I am looking forward to season 12 and believe that if they can achieve the same standard as they have here, they could even grace us with another two after that, but perhaps that is asking too much. But if the actors are willing and the writers are still on board why not.

Good service Good quality dvd and quick delivery

I like all this comedy programme except for Bernadette. She drives me scatty. I hate her. I can't stand her voice or anything about her. I wish they had replaced her.

The arrival of the latest Big Bang Theory series is ALWAYS like the opening of one's Christmas stocking, filled with five star goodies and endless surprises - so it is utterly needless to have to say that this year is no exception. This year is, however, a little different, if not exceptional, in that Sheldon does finally tie the knot with the ever so patient and loving Amy (who is also my absolute favorite character in the whole show) while showing a great deal of social empathy (even though he's still a fairly big jerk at heart). In fact all the characters seem to have matured in this series while the scientists are clearly focusing a lot more on their work and achievements and a lot less on their silly but wonderfully good fun games. I can hardly wait for next year's final series, when I expect all the remaining loose ends (such as Raj's and Stuart's single statuses) to be tied up but, as we all know, in this masterpiece show we have to always expect the unexpected.

I really enjoyed this DVD collection, and is easily , and so as good as the others in the series. I received previous series as a gift, and so was watching several episodes in a short space of time. However I did not tire of them, and they still made me laugh quite heartily, and did not suffer from overkill. Brilliant.
