Fans seem of two minds in regard to the Emmy-winning medical drama Nip/Tuck's fourth season, which arrives on DVD in a five-disc set. On one hand, much of the negative press seems to center around the 2006 season's more outlandish storylines, which seem to hew closer to the controversial "Carver" arc than the first season's blend of shock and substance; the curious highlights include an episode set some decades in the future ("Conor McNamara, 2026"), Jacqueline Bisset's madame-turned-organ thief, and Catherine Deneuve as a wealthy Miami mistress who wants her affair's ashes inserted into her silicone breasts ("Diana Lubey"). But on the other, the arrival of Julia (Joely Richardson) and Sean's (Dylan Walsh) baby Conor, and the trauma that surrounds it, the violent conclusion of the Escobar Gallardo storyline, and the addition (and return) of such memorable guests as Peter Dinklage, Larry Hagman, Brooke Shields, and Rosie O'Donnell, help to keep the show's fascinating trademark blend of sudsy shenanigans and keen psychological drama intact. Whether one loves or hates the four season of Nip/Tuck, there's no denying that there's still more offbeat, disturbing and engrossing action at the offices of McNamara-Troy than most other television series. The Fourth Season DVD set includes all fifteen episodes from the season, as well as deleted scenes from several episodes, a gag reel centered around Julian McMahon, and short but intriguing featurettes devoted to the real surgical procedures shown on the program and the exceptional guest cast. All are light on information (save the surgery extra) and strong on flash and talking heads, but fans should find them an agreeable chaser after watching the full season. -- Paul Gaita

Nip/Tuck, Season Four - The Weird Season [Leon's Rating: 4.25] December 23, 2008
Leon Wesley Norway (MI)
Many people did not like this season of Nip/Tuck because of the weird twists and turns that occurred throughout this season. Unlike season three (Nip/Tuck's weakest season), season four is very entertaining at times. Even though very few episodes are boring, it always rises back up. This season deals with Macnamara/Troy being under new ownership by a woman and her elderly and sexually impotent husband. Later on, the two plastic surgeons move their practices to Hollywood, California, after experiencing so many ills this season. These of which include Matt marrying ex-porn starlet Kimber, Christian falling in love with the new woman in charge, a multiple of kidney thefts, the return of Escobar Gallardo, Julia giving birth to a son with a disability and Julia & Sean renewing their wedding vows, only to disregard that by having extramarital affairs with some whacked-out characters. This season guest stars Mo'nique, Sanaa Lathan, Jacqueline Bissett, Brooke Shields, Kathleen Turner, Rosie O'Donnell, etc.
My favorite episodes [10/15]:
# 1. Cindy Plumb - Sean becomes distraught after he discovers that Julia's unborn baby will have a rare disability. Sean and Christian sell their business to a new ownership, by a woman named Michelle (Sanaa Lathan) and her rich and elderly husband, Burt. Christian questions his sexuality and seeks a therapist.
# 2. Blu Mondae - Matt is influenced by a reformed Kimber to join a new religion: Scientology. Annie is caught making a mockery of her brother's disability. The doctors' latest pre-bono surgeries come under Michelle's fire. Liz discovers a shocking secret about Michelle.
# 3. Monica Wilder - Michelle feels threatened when Liz tries talking to her about what she saw. Sean and Julia try hiring nannies. Sean sleeps with the female nanny. They hire a male nanny who will also turn their relationship upside down. Julia gives birth to the baby.
# 4. Shari Noble - A female patient uses peanut butter to seduce her dog. Christian blackmails Michelle. Sean considers sleeping with Monica Wilder again, but resists. Escobar Gallardo is haunting Sean's conscience.
# 5. Dawn Budge - An overweight woman wins the lottery, gets liposuction and loses everything she has that money cannot buy. Sean and Christian bribes Matt to leave Scientology with a Porsche, only to hire deprogrammers. Sean and Julia renew their wedding vows.
# 6. Faith Wolper, PhD - A heartbroken, vengeful Burt finds out about Michelle's sexual relationship with Christian and uses it against them. Monica Wilder is stalking Sean and that comes to a very tragic end. Christian's therapist shows her devotion to him, in an odd way.
# 7. Burt Landau - Christian and Michelle have had enough of Burt controlling them. Matt and Sean debate on who should be Liz's kidney donor. Dawn Budge is earjacked. Christian plays a cruel mind game with Kimber, hurting her one last time before she gets revenge: She gets closer to Matt to spite Christian.
# 10. Merrill Bobolit - Matt and Kimber are married and his two fathers are livid. Everyone sees that Kimber is manipulating Matt except him. Merrill Bobolit is released from prison and has a disturbing secret to expose about his time in prison. Sean and Julia both discover they have been cheating on each other.
# 14. Willy Ward - Wilber is back in Christian's life and while Christian and Michelle gain custody of him, Wilber's biological mother is back, fighting for custody, causing friction and expressing her hostility toward Michelle.
# 15. Gala Gallardo - The season finale: Escobar Gallardo meets his fate. Christian discovers the truth about Michelle and her involvement in the organ harvest. The practice moves to Hollywood, California.

Even Weirder Than Season 3....But A Ton Better! November 28, 2008

I almost did not buy this season after being disappointed in Season 3 (I thought it was too weird, and unrealistic). I was shocked when Season 4 got even more weird! However, I was actually more shocked to realize that I was having a great time watching it (I usually do not like shows when they get way outside of the box). This season was extremely well written, and I would definitely recommend it. This is the season that got me back on the Nip Tuck Bandwagon.
Have Fun!
