Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

[Drtooth]

I found them at a convention and they were like shockingly affordable (provided you didn't want a backdrop). They actually had some Ren and Stimpy and like 1 or 2 Rocko ones, but they cost more than I had.

We now have a release date for Rocko Season Three!

It should come as no surprise whatsoever that it was too much trouble for Warner Bros. to release any new CN Hall of Fame DVDs... instead, what do they do? They re-release their already-existing Hall of Fame titles in one set... like we really care.

Seriously, I want the other seasons of Courage, and the Eds, and I certainly want to see some Cow and Chicken releases!

No surprises at all. WB absolutely SUCKS when it comes to releasing DVD's, unless they manage to do it right. It took 3 DVD releases of Adventure Time to finally get a complete season set. That's their current most popular show. What does that tell you? PPG only got completely released on DVD, after one fell swoop (after the first set, of course). Not to mention the fact they didn't even finish the EEE season sets off. And the movies of EEE, Dexter, KND, and Johnny Bravo were never even released on DVD period (Dexter as a VHS, nothing else).

But then again, I'm still waiting for Tiny Toons Season 2 (a very brief season, mind you) and Animaniacs volume 4. Those are never going to happen at this point.

I give them credit as of late. At least with Green Lantern, they went straight to the 13 episodes on 2 disk release with that one. Ditto the new release of Scooby's all Star Laff-a-lympics.

Hoo-hah:

At this time, however, I am really kicking myself in the nuts for not getting Season Three when it came out. I had it... it was in my hands... I looked at it... but at that time, I had other purchases to make that were of slight more importance (or so I thought), so I figured since the stores have been doing well to release Rocko on time, I'd wait and get Season Three another time; finally, when another time got here, guess what happened? Not a single Rocko amongst a horde of SpongeBob and Dora. All of the sudden, Rocko Season Three wasn't sold in stores, according to the guys working at the registers. I KNEW I should have gotten it then.

 

[D'Snowth]

Got Season Three of Rocko for Christmas (yayz), and I really enjoyed the bonus featurette with Joe Murray talking about some of the people who were involved with the making of the show (and I'm glad I finally know how to pronounce Carlos Alazraqui's name), as well as insight as to what inspired a number of episodes like "Bye, Bye Birdie", "Belch of Destiny" (not one of my favorite, actually), "Camera Shy", "Fish n Chumps", and of course "Wacky Delly"... but, maybe I'm missing some thing, because I thought there was supposed to be a full-episode commentary for "The Big Question; The Big Answer", but apparently there wasn't... there wasn't even any mention of that episode in Joe's featurette, but, oh well, the featurette alone was pretty neat.

But now, I'm really miffed that, once again, they were holding out a feature or two exclusively for the complete series set, and I HATE it when studios do that... I remember years and years ago when Fox released all of the individual seasons of M*A*S*H with no special features, THEN, they re-released ALL ELEVEN SEASONS in a complete series set WITH special features, people complained BIG TIME, and at least they recalled the complete series set (for a time, any way), and re-released the special features in a new set along with the series finale as the main feature. Supposedly, one of the features included on the complete series set of Rocko is a live-action version of Wacky Delly acted out by Joe and his crew.

 

[Drtooth]

I think I might just hold out and get that complete series. I HATE that complete series have special things that aren't available on the single sets, but I hate it when the complete series doesn't have the same things the individual sets have. Like the Fraggle Rock note pads. I haven't got the rest of that series because I didn't know if I wanted to bother double dipping with season 1 to save a lot of money or to just get the other 3 sets separately for the notebooks.

The Angry Beavers: The Complete Series planned for July release.
Thankfully, unlike Rocko I don't need to sell off the DVDs I already own to make room on my shelf for this.

 

[Drtooth]

I honestly wish Nick would give Shout the license to release Fairly Oddparents in season sets. And, as they own them now, the 2k3 TMNT series. Not like they're making any money off of it.
