An excerpt from http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=26314
"THE DVD
Video:
From what I can tell, Mad About You - The Complete Third Season is
presented complete and uncut. The picture maintains the original
1.33:1 full screen aspect ratio, but it's in this transfer that we
have our problem. The image quality on these DVDs is pretty terrible.
Most of the shows have bland colors and issues with fuzzy picture. The
level of problems varies, but the worst of it is immediately apparent
from the very first episode, "Escape from New York," which looks like
it was duped from a shabby VHS copy that went through multiple airings
in syndication. On other shows, establi****ng shots of the Buchman's
apartment jiggle like I taped if on my old VCR and the tape stuttered
after I let my finger off the pause button. After four years of making
us wait, is this really the best Sony could come up with?"
