Red barely makes an entrance, but when it does it bathes; check out the lighting in the nightclubs, or some of the underwear.

Over that last few decades, from Jerry Springer and Sally Jessy Raphael to the 'Jersey Shore' series and Glenn Beck, the boob-tube has been working at redefining reality and pushing the envelope in pursuit of viewers and market share. What Network manages to do so effortlessly under Sidney Lumet's inspired direction is to make it all so funny, even when the film is at its core very, very disturbing and unsettling. Booklet featuring an article by Barry Forshaw and a short story by Trevor Preston which tells how Frank Ross was arrested eight years prior to the series.

He is the more or less rational relative outsider, watching the insanity unfold before his very eyes. This Blu-ray edition features a markedly-improved audio and video presentation that fans will appreciate, porting over the same bonus material as the two-disc special edition. There’s a little bit of distortion in the end credits music, but one assumes this was baked into the original audio elements. Not only does it include every episode in great HD quality, with the original mono and proper surround mixes, it includes nearly all of the Network Blu-ray extras… and it includes nearly all of the newly-created Shout! Included in it are interviews with Christopher Walken, Jack Lemon, Rod Steiger, Andy Garcia, Jacqueline Bisset, Ossie Davis, and Melanie Griffith, amongst others.The lighting is somewhat crude, such as overly bright in a room that is otherwise dark or when a character turns out a light that produces no discernible change in the lighting of the scene.
