While the guys are busy bowling, golfing, and goofing, Korie finds shopping for engagement presents not so easy with Si and Kay along for the ride.

Video
Although nine episodes are listed for season eight at IMDb, only eight are present (presumably the episode listed as 8.9 may be some special or clip show). Split between two single-layer discs when one dual-layer disc could have contained the combined episodes and extras (just over three hours) just as capably. The progressive, anamorphic widescreen encodes are as slick as the professional videography allows.  
Audio
The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo tracks consist of dialogue and sound recorded together with occasional musical commentary; nothing special but professionally recorded and mixed. Optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles are included.  
Extras
Extras consist of nine brief featurettes (with a "Play All" option running 19:55) that function as highlight clip reels summing up "plot points" throughout the season, with a few also working as deleted scenes; but they are not really "Special Features Never Seen on TV!" as advertised on the back of the case. The first disc also includes previews for other releases.
