Summary: Hooked on Rob & Big
Comment: So I just started watching Rob & Big this past season on tv and I absolutely fell in love with it! Obviously, then I had to order seasons 1 & 2, which came together in this handy box. Not only is the packaging awesome (four discs with Rob, Big, Meaty & Mini Horse on each) but the bonus features are great! I can't get Bobby Light's "Dirty Girl" out of my head!

Summary: Do Work, Son! Streets!
Comment: I'm pretty sure that MTV wasn't targeting this show or DVD series to suburban housewives, but that's what I am - in addition to being a huge Rob & Big fan. The DVD interviews and extras really support what I already suspected - that Rob and Chris have a deep friendship that goes beyond roomates or employer/employee. I espcially love the "Meaty Reel" that just shows highlights of his growth from little pup to full-grown Meat Bag. Skaters may enjoy Rob's tutorials at the end of each disc, but my favorite feature is finally being able to hear the full dialogue without all the annoying FCC beeps. These guys are just fun and funny to watch, and the episodes don't get old after multiple viewings. This DVD set is a great deal for the money, so Do Work and get to it.

Summary: Laugh 'til I cry every time!
Comment: If you love the series on MTV, you will love the dvd set even better. It is fun to see the shows without the editing beeps and commercials. Also, the gold in this set is the Dirty Girl video. I would buy the set just for the video itself. I could watch it over and over and still laugh each time. Uncle Jerry's visit is priceless. He is so funny just being himself. You could not script the things he says and does. Once he gets into that Bud Light, there is no stopping him from repeating himself 50 times and touching Rob any chance he gets. There is also a commentary option where they narrate the episode and that is funny also. I love Rob and Big, they can do whatever they want and not care about how much it costs or how much time it wastes. Do work son.

Editorial Reviews:

Less asinine than Jackass and more "real" than The Hills, MTV's reality series Rob & Big is an entertaining diversion that mixes friendship and a few crazy stunts into each episode. In this four-disc box set, all 16 episodes from the first two seasons of the show are included. Rob Dyrdek may not be the most famous skateboarder out there, but he is charismatic, funny, and apparently has the means to charter a private jet so he can fly off to pick up his new puppy Meaty. Christopher "Big Black" Boykin is Rob's best friend and bodyguard. Boykin's size often is used as a visual gag, but he's rarely presented in a mean-spirited fashion. Even when he's showing off his girth in a G-string (don't ask), he's clearly in on the joke. The show is built around the odd couple premise of the long-time friends. But like Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, the episodes' most enjoyable elements aren't the crazy antics, but the everyday slices of life that the characters experience. Watching Dyrdek return home to the Midwest where his family clearly misses him is rather touching. And seeing Boykin's relatives prepare for a family reunion is a lot of fun. There are some episodes that obviously are set up for the cameras: Would the pals actually have purchased a time machine if they weren't being filmed to do so? And would anyone really buy a minature horse to keep their dog company (or listen to a dog psychic that tells them they need a woman in the house)? Clearly, no. But the point is that the duo has a show and knows how to entertain its audience. And instead of focusing on contrived romances or feuds with frenemies, this reality series focuses on friendship. There's also an added dose of reality when the stars of the show aren't always treated as such. The look on Dyrdek's face when he's described in a newspaper as a "C-lister" is priceless not because it's true, but because he understands his role in the Hollywood food chain. --Jae-Ha Kim
