This track starts off strong as Willis and Caron talk about the pilot and the show in general. These guys are obviously good friends and this track reflects that. However, by the halfway mark their comments are few and far between and then there is pretty much silence until the end. Too bad.

It's such a shame. I was so ready to give this track top marks. What's there is really golden stuff (the song selections, the origins of the show, inspirations such as His Girl Friday) and Bruce has a great memory for the early episodes, possibly better than Glen.
But then it just stops abruptly at around 68 minutes in. So it's a bit disappointing in the end, but you do need to appreciate how great it is when they are talking. There is refreshing honesty to the track that is missing from the rote commentaries on the series DVDs. A must listen for the fans. 9 for the material, 6/10 overall though.
