Getting On: The Complete First Season to Blu-ray this fall. An offbeat, comedic look at the dysfunctional staff of a beleaguered hospital, the series stars Laurie Metcalf, Niecy Nash, Alex Borstein and Mel Rodriguez, plus special guest stars Molly Shannon, Daniel Stern and Harry Dean Stanton.
Getting On arrives on Blu-ray on November 11th.
Synopsis: From creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer (co-creators of the acclaimed HBO series
Big Love),
Getting On follows the staff of the Billy Barnes Extended Care Unit of Mt. Palms Hospital in Long Beach, California as they attend to the needs of female patients who are "getting on" in years, while dealing with the challenges of a health-care bureaucracy in need of an overhaul. Even as they attempt to serve their charges under less-than-ideal circumstances, the lives of this ragtag crew are complicated by conflicting agendas, both professional and personal. Blending humor with unexpected moments of tenderness, the series chronicles the darkly comic realities of caring for the elderly in an overwhelmed healthcare system, skewering the petty bureaucracies of modern medical practice in America.
The Blu-ray release of
Getting On: The Complete First Season is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features include:
