          Paramount releases Melrose Place: The Complete Series<\/em><\/strong> onto DVD presented with a 4×3 full frame aspect ratio as originally aired between 1992-1999. As these are the original discs the transfers are also the same and for the most part the picture looks decent, if not a bit washed out on the earlier seasons. That said, still more than acceptable.<\/p>\n

          Each episode comes with a standard but effective Dolby Digital 2.0 track outputting clear dialogue levels and the music comes through with good clarity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
