I'll probably get flamed for this, but I do wish Doc and Jackson would put just a bit more effort into the audio commentaries.

I mean, I get it: They're working their asses off for us, with pre-production, cranking out scripts, storyboards, directing voice-overs, *doing* voice-overs, post-production and an boatload of stuff I haven't mentioned. They're busier than probably any of us has been.

But couldn't they at least raid the fridge and do a mic check *before* they do the commentary? : ( I mean, these are DVD box sets that people are paying money for, not a free podcast on the 'Net,

Just kidding... I don't mind the fridge raids so much, it adds a little character to the commentary. I think they get plenty in for the 30 minutes they talk. It's a lot better than the South Park commentary, those guys do 3 minutes of talking per episode.

Well when you point -that- out (the South Park commentaries) I guess you're right, it could be a lot worse.

It is definitely not out of line to criticize the commentaries as many fans have done it before you. Personally I find them awesome. I also like the fact that the South Park guys only do short ones. Commentaries are, by definition even, "bonus materials". We are really paying for the DVDs to have every episode at our disposal and anything else is really just gravy (it's not like AS has taken the HBO route and charged like, $100 per box set) so to me, just having commentary at all is sweet.
Clearly Doc and Jackson (and Trey and Matt) are not huge fans of doting over their own creations or doing commentary tracks at all and I think that this fact (along with their quite hilarious personalities) come across well in the tracks. Compared to many other audio commentaries out there where the commentators drone on about production details and how awesome their stuff is, the VB version is a refreshing, comedic look into the creators minds.
