I have that "Essentials" DVD. I find I'm pretty much alone on this, but I think the Mike episodes are much funnier that the Joels. Joel was too laid back for me. Actually, the change I liked best was to the new Crow (Bill Corbett?). Of course, this is from the perspective of someone who started watching the show on the SciFi channel. If I had gotten cable earlier in my life, I would probably feel differently.
