'The Birthday Boys: The Complete First Season'

"The Birthday Boys" takes very specific aim at its satirical targets. (The pressure to clear out your DVR; buffoonish college deans in ’80s movies.) The show could use a stronger hook for its comedic sensibility; fellow IFC sketch show "Portlandia," for example, liberally mocks upper middle class privilege. For better and worse, "The Birthday Boys" is little more than a bunch of guys goofing around.

Special features include a “Making of,” bonus videos featuring some of the season’s characters, and promos. The best of the bunch is “From Stage to Screen,” which includes footage of the "Boys" performing some of the TV show’s sketches for live audiences between 2008 and 2011.
