Boy, this one got past us. Koch Entertainment has released
For Better Or For Worse: Family Album - The Complete 1st and 2nd Seasons on DVD.
This 2-disc set was released just a couple of weeks ago, on March 23rd, but is only available for sale in Canada. That's not unexpected, since the show was produced in Ottawa and aired north of the border starting in the year 2000. However, the DVD release is Region 1 compatible, which means it will work in the USA as well.
For Better Or For Worse is Lynn Johnston's long-running newspaper comic strip which actually shows the characters grow and age with time. Because of that, the television adaption of the strip - which Johnston participated heavily in, including acting as host - features stories from 3 different eras in the lives of the characters. Here is Koch's description:
The daily comic strip we have grown to love s now coming to life! Lynn Johnston hosts this animated adaptation of her acclaimed comic strip For Better or For Worse. The For Better or For Worse Family Album: The Complete First and Second Seasons is a 2-DVD box set full of Patterson family adventures. Through the growing years of the 1980's, the middle years of the early 1990's and the contemporary times, we see Elly, John, Michael, and Elizabeth go through the good times and bad, while their love for each other grows.
List price for this is $24.99 CAN, but you can
