David Chase


I'm surprised that this hasn't been released on DVD yet-- it was low-rated but much-loved, and David Chase was showrunner on this before creating The Sopranos. I would think that alone would merit some attention. Those shows are very different, obviously, but I think it's easy to spot his hand in the way the show doesn't shy away from difficult subject matter and complex characters that don't are relatable without always being sympathetic. I liked the IFA didn't go in for easy answers to complicated problems but instead respected the intelligence of the viewer....

According to the information here David Chase only has credit for writing one episode. But that doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be brought to DVD. There is an abundance of crap released on DVD. I've never figured who to lean on accomplish this.

As a showrunner, he would have directed the writing staff, but not necessarily scripting episodes himself.
