Billy the Exterminator: Season 3 - DVD Review



***SYNOPSIS***


Return to the wilds of Louisiana for Season 3 of BILLY THE EXTERMINATOR as wild man Billy Bretherton goes head-to-head with creepy, crawly critters of all shapes and sizes. In the pest management industry for over 16 years, Billy runs Vexcon – the only pest removal team in the state that handles all types of animal removal – with support from his wacky but loveable family: kid brother, Ricky; tough-as-nails father, Bill Sr.; sassy office manager and mom Donnie; and beloved wife, Mary. This season Billy and his crew battle feral hogs, match wits with a raccoon terrorizing a local business, get between a family of alligators and an army of fire ants, track down a venomous snake, and tackle a duck blind filled with gators, spiders and snakes. A former U.S. Air Force Sergeant, Billy has taken a militaristic approach to pest control – and is emerging a winner.

***VIDEO QUALITY***

Billy Season 3 arrives on DVD with a 480i transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.33:1. Unfortunately A&E sees fit in this HD age to still release 4:3 presentations. With that being said the overall image is okay with some good black levels and decent detail. 5/10


***AUDIO QUALITY***

Audio is provided by a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo track. The dialogue and music is crisp and clean. Environmental effects were natural but kept to a minimum. 6/10
