(L. J. Hall, 2009-11-01) What can I say -- these are timeless. I remember them from the 70's and now my 13 and 3 year old daughters are watching them. They cleaned up the "fuzziness' that *may* have been in the original but the colors are true. It is also great for the 3 year old before bed, as the episodes are only 15 minutes, so you are not stuck arguing about watching a 90 minute movie. I also like the way they did the menu -- the villian appears in a little box on the screen as you page thru the episode titles, so you don't have to guess or remember the titles if you want a certain episode. I love these.

(Bret H. Nordland, 2009-10-31) My 2 year old loves Scooby and this series has added some variety to his collection.

(C. Point, 2009-08-11) This is a very nice Scooby Doo DVD set. It contains the first twenty five episodes ever made. Wow! You can finally get them all in one set unlike the dvd's such as greatest mysteries original mysteries and creepiest capers. The discs are high quality and so is the case. The cartoons even have subtitles. It has the original villains such as the space man with a crazy laugh, Creeper, and the phantom puppeteer. The episodes are very entertaining too! A great buy!

(Joker, 2009-08-08) I've always loved the original Scooby Doo cartoons. The first season (1969) and the second season (1970) were by far the best Scooby Doo mysteries ever. Things started to go downhill when they started to include Scooby Dum and Scrappy Doo, etc. in later years. The first two seasons are the best. I used to watch Scooby Doo and other cartoons every Saturday morning before going to my junior bowling league. Then I'd come home in time to watch The Pro Bowlers Tour on ABC at 3:30, then ABC's Wide World Of Sports at 5:00. Those were the days when TV had good shows and good cartoons, such as Scooby Doo. The stuff of today is plain sick and lame garbage compared to the shows of yesteryear. These DVDs will entertain longtime fans and newcomers alike. You can't go wrong with a cartoon that features humor, a mystery to solve and crooks dressed as spooks who try to scare their way to a fortune where the setting is often a haunted house. I love Halloween, so this show has always been right up my alley. I think Shaggy and Scooby are at their best in these two seasons as far as humor goes. Every episode has them clowning around in some way. I like the ever-shifting trajectory of these episodes. There's a scary moment, then there's a light and hilarious moment. It's a good mix of humor and haunts. You get all 25 episodes in this set. My personal favorites are Spooky Space Kook, Hassle In The Castle, Bedlam In The Big Top, Mine Your Own Business, A Gaggle Of Galloping Ghosts, A Night Of Fright Is No Delight, That's Snow Ghost, and Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Werewolf? Scooby Doo Where Are You? is an all-time classic cartoon and far better than anything out there today. Your kids will love it. This stuff is 40 years old and has stood the test of time, so I highly recommend it!

(Rina, 2009-07-17) My 4 year old and 2 year old LOVE Scooby. The thrill is what keeps them going!! But beware, it may be a little too scary for 2 year olds, because since Scooby, my daughter is very afraid at night. But it's too late; she loves it, so I still let her watch.

(Colleen Bratsveen, 2009-10-09) My son is now 10yrs old--his favorite pasttime seems to be finding episodes of Total Drama Action on TV and recording it on the DVR. I decided to make his life (and mine!) a little easier by purchasing this series for his birthday--HE LOVES IT!!! Now we (including his 15yr old sister) don't argue over who gets the TV and he can watch his favorite episodes over and over and over...great purchase!

(Monique G. Desrochers, 2009-09-27) This is a cute Survivor like reality show in cartoon style. Chris tortures a group of teenage campers and the drama abounds. They do crazy stunts like jumping out of an airplane with bad parachutes and landing onto a couch, blind trapaze with no net over a small pond filled with jelly fish, a blindfolded William Tell with the arrow and apple thing, all to compete for a 100,000 dollar prize. They vote off a camper each week. Sometimes they will conspire to get rid of a fellow camper who then walks down the "Dock of Shame" to the "Boat of Losers". The characters go into the outhouse to do personal diaries. It's funny and quirky. My 10 year old daughter wanted this for her birthday. She loves it. Recommended for all kids under 13 or so. And not so bad for grownups either.

(tommom, 2009-09-24) My seven year old loves this show and is so happy to have all the episodes of Season 1. He has been watching it non-stop since we got it. Definitely worth the money.

(Daisy, 2009-09-24) Total Drama Island is a funloving, realistic cartoon that I happen to love to watch each week with my son. I purchased this dvd for him. It is his favorite cartoon on TV!!! We can't wait until Total Drama Action is on dvd too! Keep the fun rolling!

(Lonnie Knighton, 2009-09-19) the item was actually for my son. he is a total drama island fanatic and had to have the dvd set. thank you.

(Mr., 2009-10-13) This is it! Superman! Wonder Woman! Aquaman! Batman & Robin! The very first Super Friends incarnation, with Wendy, Marvin & Wonderdog is finally coming to DVD! Fans have been waiting years for this and now it's here! The show was comprised of 16 hour long episodes (about 45 minutes without commercials) and included some rare guest appearances such as Green Arrow & Plastic Man among others. Warner Brothers is releasing the 1973 Season in Two 8 episode Volumes, which are both 2 discs each. Episodes included with Volume 1: Disc 1: 01) The Power Pirate 02) The Baffles Puzzle 03) Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C. 04) The Weather Maker Disc 2: 05) Dr. Pelagian's War 06) The Shamon 'U' 07) Too Hot To Handle 08) The Androids There will be a Super Friends interactive Trivia Challenge Quiz game included as bonus material. Depending on how well it sells will have an affect on when Volume 2 is released. This is great news for Super Friends fans every where! :-)

(Ryan Daniels, 2009-10-02) It's like 3 episodes per disc on each side. That was the problem with the volume sets. Then now, they just slap on those god-awful double side disc and says the complete superman collection. I mean the Batman animated series the complete animated series dvd set got a much better complete collection dvd release then this. I'm highly dissapointed.

(Thom, 2009-09-21) When I saw this was being released I thought Superman would finally be available in the same quality as all the other products in DCAU. But no. This is still going to have the two sided discs which get scratched to easily and just don't seem to have the quality. I would have bought it otherwise. The one good thing about this is it is reasonably priced unlike the complete Batman and soon to be released complete Justice league which cost more than the individual seasons combined.

(GutsMan, 2009-09-15) they're repackaging the scratch prone double sided discs from the individual sets, my rating might seem harsh but companies should improve their product when they double dip, and they won't as long as consumers keep accepting things as they are

(trashcanman, 2009-09-11) Superman is truly one of the greatest superheroes ever to bear the title. He also happens to be one of the most maligned. There's even an entire website dedicated to proving he's a jerk. Few things make a mean-spirited comic geek smile more then seeing The Man of Steel getting his rear end handed to him. Some of the reasons for this are innate to the nature of the character, and some are based on the way the character has been handled by writers in the past (what with the racist WWII propaganda and all). Supe's reputation as "The Big Blue Boy Scout" makes him a fairly lame goody-two-shoes kind of hero, which is really hard to get away from without changing the character entirely. Modern sensibilities prefer darker heroes like Batman. Also, the fact that Superman is ridiculously overpowered makes him hard to root for. We like underdogs. Underdogs generally aren't invincible with superspeed, heat beams, x-ray vision, plus immortal with infinite strength. Most great heroes are flawed and are often at a disadvantage against their villains, but Superman was always portrayed as flawless and indomitable. Unless you had a green rock that is. That's what we call an uninteresting weakness. Also, Supes has become a massively utilized deus ex machina device for DC comic writers. Write yourself into an impossible situation in a Green Arrow story? No worries, Ollie can just shout Clark's name and all's taken care of. Ugh. But when you get down to it, we all grew up with him and we all love him. He's as American as apple pie and 10 times more iconic. He's also one of those characters whose moral compass is always clean. It may make him boring, but it also makes him a perfect hero. After the massive success that was Batman: The Animated Series, where else would DC's amazing animation team go? And they did an amazing job with a hero whose kiddie comic legacy gave them little to work with. Here's the textbook for writing great Superman stories, right here. Now, Supe's God complex was the first thing that needed to go. No turning back time at light speed or moving planets out of orbit for this Superman. This is a powered down version of the character who retains all of his powers from the comics, but has them amped down just enough to make him vulnerable and more relatable. He regularly has to use his brain to outwit villains, which is great. Second, the characters needed work. The shallowness of The Man of Steel's rogues gallery is legendary. Plus his legacy is layered with more cheese then a Chicago-style pizza. While there are numerous winks and references to the old school (Krypto and Bepto even get nods), this iteration really brought a hipper attitude and presentation of the denizens of Metropolis while walking the line between respect to the source material and updating outmoded devices flawlessly. This show is quite simply the definitive Superman. It pays tribute to the Golden Age with a sly sense of humor, but makes bold strokes to set itself apart from every past version of the character and the result should please all fans old and new. Pretty much the entire "Batman" team returned for this show, which accounts for the quality, and the voice acting was again as impressive as the fluid animation and great character designs. Dana Delaney is the perfect Lois Lane. She plays the character as cynical and snarky but lovable and entirely fearless. It's still annoying to me that the best reporter on the planet can't figure out that her closest co-worker is Superman with glasses on, Especially considering she finds out who Batman is in a day or two. I'd prefer that relationship just be out in the open already. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far. Other awesome contributions to the show include Michael Ironside as planet conquering overlord Darkseid, the fantastic Malcolm McDowell as kryptonite-fueled terminator Metallo, Lori Petty as Livewire (who was created for this series and proved to be one of the more memorable villains), and Brad Garrett as The Main Man himself, Lobo. A great cast goes a long way to making a good animated endeavor an unforgettable one. Like "Batman" the show also featured episodes co-starring many other DC regulars including Steel, Dr. Fate, Aquaman, The Flash (who challenges Supes to a footrace), Green Lantern, and others. The centerpiece of the series is an epic three episode arc teaming up The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel in a perfect melding of the two series. Bruce Wayne sweeps Lois off of her feet, Harley Quinn has a catfight with Lex Luthor's bodyguard Mercy Graves (another of several character created for the show that ended up being adapted to the comics), The Joker owns Supey and Luthor alike; the whole thing screams "WE LOVE YOU!" to fans of both shows. It was the first time they would cross over, but not the last. Eventually the entire DCAU would be united in the flawless Justice League series as a result. While "Superman: The Animated Series" is not as good as the Batman and JLA series, the difference in quality is negligible. This is a remarkable cartoon show that is probably even more enjoyable for adults then it is for children due to the sly humor and occasional darkness that marks this as the best adaptation of the character ever. Obnoxious interdimensional imp Mr. Mxyzptlk (voiced by Gilbert Goddfried, no less) being outwitted in seconds (he has to say his own name backwards to be sent back to his own dimension) by Clark and then spending 3 months plotting his next scheme while ignoring his Jessica Rabbit-looking sexpot of a wife only to be outsmarted in seconds again is too funny. And the evil irony of a murderer deducing Superman's secret identity exactly one second before he is executed is black comedy at it's finest. And let me tell you, the final arc shows us a seriously dark side to the Kryptonian boy scout. However, I honestly find it hard to believe that they went three full seasons without General Zod and his crew. They had a pair of Kryptonian criminals that were similar, but I think it's safe to say we would have rather seen updated versions of the villains from The best Superman film. While the cynic in me still likes to see Supes get owned now and again, this show made me realize just he much fondness I still have for the character and what he stands for. He holds a unique role as the prototypical American superhero who was and is the ideal champion to children everywhere. The 70's films with Christopher Reeve will remain cherished classics for generations to come. Big Blue deserves his props and this is where he really got it outside of comics it for the first time since Reeve wore the cape and refused to kneel before Zod. Fans of "Batman: The Animated Series" or comic book superheroes in general need to check this out. This is how you adapt The Man of Steel. 4 1/2 stars, rounded up for degree of difficulty.

(Corgi Kid, 2009-11-03) I just purchased the second volume from the Saturday Morning Cartoons 70's collection. Let me just say that I am quite pleased with this collection. I watched many of these cartoons during the 70's and it brings back many happy memories from childhood. The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show and the Banana Splits were the primary reasons of my purchase. The bridging sequences including the introduction to both Bugs Bunny/Road Runner and Banana Splits were not restored. However, I can't complain too much. I am unable to get the Cartoon Network Boomerang channel where I live and have been wanting to watch many of these cartoons for such a long time. I hope Warner Brothers continues to release more collections in the near feature. More Bugs Bunny/Road Runner and Banana Splits please! Also, would like to see the New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with Michael Shea (Huck) and Lu Ann Haslam (Becky Thatcher); really campy but from part of the Banana Splits series. Thanks again Amazon!

(John W. Yocum, 2009-11-01) I didn't buy the first 70's set because there just seemed to be too much on it that I never watched. This set, however, was full of things I remembered. I appreciate seeing them no matter what condition the prints are in, but there are a few odd things about the set. First, there are two adventures with Shazzan, but if you select "play all" you only get to see one. You have to go back to the menu to select the other episode. Also, the main titles from Shazzan are missing. Secondly, what was supposed to be the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour seems to be an episode from the five-week 1/2 hour evening run that the show did on CBS in the mid-seventies one summer. There are only four cartoons and since they used restored prints for this set and not the original edited-for-violence versions, the show lasts 28 minutes, which would be too long for the original 1/2 hour length and too short for the hour-long version. Finally - what's up with the menus and chapter stops on these sets? I wish you could select just the show you wanted and it would play the whole thing. The way it is, if you select Banana Splits from the menu you have to watch part of the show, then it goes back to the menu where you have to select the next part of the show. Of course, you canjust hit "play all" and skip to the show you want, so I guess it's OK. Overall, I love this set (except for "Yogi's Gang" for reasons mentioned by another reviewer) and look forward to more.

(Andre M., 2009-10-31) Okay, literally speaking this is not just a seventies set (Shazzan & the Banana Splits are from the late 60s), but if you were born between about 1960 to 1973, you'll really get mellow over this. Much of this has since been forgotten or ignored by pop culture, but since those of us who fondly loved these as children as only children can are now in position to get them back, then let the games begin! The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show inlcuded here will bring on the warm and fuzzies for the generation that immediately followed the baby boomers. The fondly recalled tune "On With the Show" with Bugs & Daffy and the Road Runner theme songs will make those who remember this show smile with a warm glow. "Shazzan" was the first cartoon I actually remember watching on television. The adventures of two kids with the flying genie is a good example of the wholesome but FUN adventure-type toon that ruled the Sat. morning airwaves until the Shiny Happy People brigade of Politically Correct killjoys nearly destroyed the genre by imposing sissified Barney-style New Zoo Revue fruit loop slop that was long on morals but short on entertainment. "Yogi's Gang" (1973) is a sad example of this. The once great HB stable is reduced to a nauseating tale of the beloved Yogi, misled by an Archbunker type, touting the superiority of bears and dismissing the others as "animal lovers." Mess like this should have been lost in a fire like "London After Midnight". Oh Pepto-Bismol, where is thy sting? Bring back Ranger Smith and the pic-i-nic baskets! You had to be there to really dig "The Great Grape Ape," the adventures of a 40 ft. purple ape (Magilla's cousin?) and his canine sidekick Beagly Beagly, but it remains amusing to a point and I'm glad to see it again after 30 years. The 1970s defanged Tom & Jerry (for reasons stated in the above paragraph) are no comparison-poor cousins to the violent but hilarious original classics. Best of all for late 60s/early 70s kids is the funny and funky BANANA SPLITS-Hanna Barbera meets Sly Stone-that is fondly remembered by our age group. I particularly enjoyed DANGER ISLAND with it's Batman-style tounge in cheek adventures, and you'll be VERY pleased to see it here. (Everbody sing "Tra la La, La la la la!") Overall, this will make people of our age group VERY happy and is a good rendidtion of what we enjoyed in the pre-DVD, Internet, and video game days. Most of these will also be enjoyed by the current tot set, so it's a worthwhile family purchase.

(MEWZIK, 2009-10-30) My favorite edition of Saturday Morning Cartoons for sure. So, if you don't have Boomerang, or had enough of watching horrid quality internet movies -this is GOLD. At this point though, I'd like to see a proper release with all the episodes of say Shazzan! Grape Ape and Hair Bear Bunch. If there was no market, they wouldn't put it in Cartoon Network programming. Shazzan! is the least seen of all these classics, so what's the point of holding them back to dvd or even download only? The plus is they picked strong episodes here. Nonetheless, how can this compilation not get five stars? Arrested development accomplished! What would make this better (not that I hold this against anyone) is adding a couple timepiece commercials between the breaks...I'm thinking Happy Meal and bad teeth fall out of your mouth cereal commercials. Exit, Stage Right.

(Paul J. Mular, 2009-10-21) Semi-restored, disclaimer says some elements no longer exist in pristine condition. No restoration attempts were made for The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, that is from an ancient 2" video tape with occasional glitches & break-up. I know the show was quickly cut up into half-hours in the mid '70s, but some film segment elements should still survive. Another Disappointment is the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show, it is the short-run Prime Time half-hour version that ran in the summer of 1976 on CBS, not the hour long saturday morning version. NOTE: Authoring error: if you chose 'Play All' The Living Island cartoon from Shazzan will not play! You must select this individually. Disc 1 HELP! IT'S THE HAIR BEAR BUNCH (1971): Keep Your Keeper NEW ADVENTURES OF GILLIGAN (1974): Off Limits SEA LAB 2020 (1972): Deep Threat AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHAN CLAN (1972): The Mardi Gras Caper (Episode 12) SHAZZAN (1967): The Living Island / Master of the Thieves ***watch 'Thieves' first, it has the open titles, then 'Island' second, it has the end credits.*** YOGI'S GANG (1973): Mr. Bigot Disc 2 BUGS BUNNY/ROAD RUNNER SHOW (1976): For Scent-Imental Reasons/Stop, Look and Hasten, Hare-Way to the Stars/Duck!

But if you grew up on Saturday Morning cartoons in the 1970's this sampling will bring a smile to your face. One thing that puzzles me is the inclusion of some 1960's cartoons. I don't remember SHAZZAN (1967) ever airing on Saturday Mornings in the 1970's. Maybe somebody confused it with 1974's SHAZAM, a totally different show spelled with one "Z" and a "M". THE BANANA SPLITS ADVENTURE HOUR (1968) did technically run until the end of summer 1970 and then went into syndication, even though only one season was produced. THE BUGS BUNNY/ROAD RUNNER SHOW started as an hour show in 1968, but this is the CBS summer of 1976 PRIME TIME half-hour version. Unlike THE BUGS BUNNY/ROAD RUNNER SHOW, the TOM & JERRY/GRAPE APE SHOW will not feature classic theatrical cartoons, these will be the cheaply made Hanna Barbera TV cartoons from the 1970's. This show is probably the weakest in the bunch, and it is the full hour version! I dare you to sit through the entire show without pushing the fast-forward button. SEALAB 2020 & VALLEY OF THE DINOSAURS are probably the highlights here. Both of these reminded me of my favorite Saturday Morning adventure cartoons of the late 1960's & seemed to be a refuge from the ultra-silly cartoons of the 1970's that required laughtracks to remind you that it is funny. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy comedy cartoons, but the 1970's comedy cartoons were pitiful. Just compare THE PEBBLES & BAMM BAMM SHOW to the classic FLINTSTONES of the 1960's.

(Matthew Hunter, 2009-11-04) -Review by Matthew Hunter [...] "Saturday Morning Cartoons: 1960's Volume 2" is kind of like that huge "sampler" tin of chocolates your family gets for Christmas every once in a while. There's a lot of variety, plenty for everybody, and the contents range from fantastic to gag-inducing. This set, like the previous volume, collects a wide variety of cartoon series from the 1960's, and attempts to present them as closely to their original TV presentation as possible. It's a great idea on Warner's part, as it brings together material that may not warrant a complete box-set release by itself (or hasn't yet) in an affordable and enjoyable way. The bulk of the material included here is of the Hanna-Barbera variety, and it's interesting to compare earlier, better material like "Quick Draw McGraw" to later efforts like "Atom Ant" and "Wally Gator". Towards the end of the 1960's, Hanna-Barbera had been cloning their "funny animal" formula so often that it grew even more stale with every new attempt. H-B eventually began focusing on "action" cartoons, and unfortunately the examples of these included on this set are among the weakest. The collection opens with an episode from "The Quick Draw McGraw Show", nicely restored with its original opening theme song and supporting segments, "Snooper and Blabber" and "Augie Doggie". The animation on this show is limited and low-budget, but the writing and humor hold up extremely well, thanks in large part to writer Michael Maltese. Quick Draw is a Wild West hero who just happens to be a horse, Snooper and Blabber are a cat and mouse detective team, and Augie Doggie is a brainy sitcom-style kid living with his fater, Doggie Daddy. This episode, along with a second episode focusing on Quick Draw's famous alter-ego, "El Kabong", really makes me wish Warner had released the Quick Draw show as a standalone series collection. Next up is a show that should be avoided at all costs. Though an interesting curio, there is absolutely no entertainment value in "The Space Kidettes", a show about a group of annoyingly cute space-age kids in a Jetsons-esque setting who are being stalked by a space pirate named Captain Skyhook. Its supporting segment, "Young Samson", is even worse, about a teenage boy named Samson and his dog, Goliath, who can transform into a superhero and a lion, respectively. How does a dog turn into a lion? That is a mystery I do not want to uncover...because to do it, I would have to watch more episodes! This show sucks, and is largely unheard of for VERY good reason. "The Bugs Bunny Show" is a nice surprise, including the original "This Is It" title sequence and some long-lost bridging footage. Mac and Tosh, the Goofy Gophers, are the hosts, but end their incessant polite disagreement forces Bugs himself to introduce the cartoons to keep the show going. There is some footage missing, but everything is in color and presented as it would have aired in Saturday Morning reruns. All three cartoons (minus titles and credits, as they originally aired) look fine: "Big House Bunny' and "Canned Feud" are the restored "Golden Collection" versions, "Home Tweet Home" is not, but it's a better transfer than I've seen before. "The Porky Pig Show" compiles three more Warner Bros. classics with the original opening, closing and several bumper segments from that TV package. An interesting "skit" that probably originated on the "Bugs Bunny Show" has Bugs Bunny playing piano on stage, in animation re-traced from "Rhapsody Rabbit", to introduce the musical short "Baton Bunny". The other two shorts included are "Scaredy Cat" and "Feather Dusted", and all but the third are restored. "Feather Dusted" is at least uncut and is a perfectly acceptable copy. Next, we get another "lost treasure" from Hanna-Barbera, entitled "The Adventures of Gulliver". A young man named Gulliver and his father go on a sea voyage with a treasure map to a lost island, a creepy stowaway thug knocks them out, steals the map, and Gulliver wakes up shipwrecked with his dog on the island of Lilliput. What follows is little more than a loosely updated knockoff of the old Jonathan Swift tale "Gulliver's Travels". It will probably be of interest only to those who recall seeing it as kids. No flaws in terms of print quality, picture or sound here. "The Wally Gator Show" is a fondly-remembered 3-cartoon variety show featuring "Wally Gator", "Touche Turtle", and "Lippy Lion and Hardy Har-Har". Unfortunately, it was a hastily-produced and thoroughly lackluster series, aimed squarely at children. Wally Gator longs to roam free in the Everglades, instead he's stuck in a zoo with a nagging zookeeper named Mr. Twiddle. Touche Turtle is a diminutive do-gooder voiced by Bill "Droopy Dog" Thompson, who dresses like a French musketeer and tries to help people (in this case, Captain Ahab) along with his aptly named dog sidekick, Dum Dum. Lippy the Lion and his depressed, sad-sack hyena sidekick Hardy Har Har (brilliantly voiced by Mel Blanc) are easily the best of the bunch, but they, too, seem cookie-cutter and forced. If these cartoons have not aged well content-wise, they have fared even worse physically. Originally mastered on cheap film, they look muddy, scratchy and at times out of focus. For those nostalgia buffs longing to see this stuff beautifully restored, you won't find it here! A classic "Jetsons" episode entitled "Elroy's Mob" rounds out the first disc. Young Elroy gets mixed up in a crime, and in typical 60's sitcom fashion, hilarity ensues, followed by a happy ending. It looks and sounds great, probably the same version used for the original series DVD set. Disc Two begins with Quick Draw McGraw again, this time in the guise of "El Kabong", a masked, Zorro-like alter-ego who fights villains by bashing them on the head with a guitar. Once again, this does not disappoint, with razor-sharp humor and charm that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Snooper, Blabber, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy once again hold the supporting segments, and are also worthwhile, "Augie" especially. As with the episode on Disc 1, everything from the opening and closing titles to the cartoon shorts in between look and sound great. Following Quick Draw, we again descend into the abyss of Hanna-Barbera's decline with one of the strangest cartoon characters ever created: Peter Potamus. Peter is a fat, purple hippo who travels the world in a hot air balloon with his monkey pal, SoSo. In this episode, Peter gets caught in the middle of a fight between cowboys and Indians. The one highlight of this exercise in blandness is the voice work of Daws Butler, Don Messick, and Mel Blanc, but since the endless stream of talk is all there is to it, it gets boring in a hurry. When Peter (not to mention the audience!) has had enough, he dispatches his tormenters with his "Hippo Hurricane Holler". Translation: he screams loud enough that it literally blows everyone away. Supporting segments include "Breezly and Sneezly", a polar bear and a seal who have nothing better to do than annoy the soldiers at a military outpost in the Arctic, and "Yippie, Yappie and Yahooey", three dogs who serve as inept guards to a fussy Medieval king. It's hard to imagine anyone getting excited about any of these goofball critters, and though they have their moments, they pale in comparison to earlier H-B efforts and will probably bore kids and adults alike. The show's original opening and closing are included, and are in pretty rough shape, but the cartoons themselves look fine. Once Peter and pals get the blandness out of their systems, we get an episode of "The Road Runner Show". I was really looking forward to this, and was very disappointed with the results! The original opening, closing, a rarely-seen animated bumper segments are included, as are the title cards created exclusively for this iconic package of Warner classics. The bumper segments are not to be missed: director Robert McKimson created these after the departure of Chuck Jones from the Warner Bros. animation studio, and while low-budget, they are extremely funny. Where the folks at Warner compiling this DVD collection went wrong, though, is evident in the cartoons themselves. Whereas the "Bugs Bunny" and "Porky Pig" shows mixed the old, worn-out TV bridging footage with nice, clean copies of the actual cartoons, the "Road Runner Show" gets a little TOO "authentic", using copies of the cartoons from the same old TV masters as the bridging animation. The results look terrible, especially the opening short, "Zip N' Snort", which looks so bad that Chuck Jones is probably turning in his grave over it. The other two cartoons included, Sylvester and Tweety in "The Jet Cage" and Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote and Speedy Gonzales' race-off "The Wild Chase", look just as awful, and there is absolutely no excuse for that. They are faded, scratchy and blurred. Why would you drink spoiled milk when you have a fresh, unopened carton in the same fridge? Maybe I've been spoiled by the wonderful restorations Warner released on the "Looney Tunes Golden Collection" DVD series, but these cartoons look worse than I've ever seen them, and including them in this manner is disgraceful. Next comes "Atom Ant", another Hanna-Barbera series about a little ant with super powers. The title character is a snooze, but the supporting segments, "Precious Pupp" and "Hillbilly Bears", prove more entertaining. "Precious" isn't particularly funny, but he is an ancestor of one of H-B's most memorable and entertaining creations, Muttley. Precious shares Muttley's mumbling voice and wheezy laugh, but instead of Muttley's villainous master, Dastardly, Precious' companion is a sweet little old lady. The segment is not particularly clever or funny, but it's a nice try. "Hillbilly Bears" is easily the best segment, and should have received top billing over Atom. It's about a family of (what else? Hillbilly bears!) voiced by Henry Corden (Paw) Jean Vander Pyl (Maw, Flora) and Don Messick (Shag). Corden's mumbling, grumbling, almost unintelligible voice for Paw is absolutely hilarious. Irreverent, politically incorrect and violent (Paw has an itchy trigger finger to match his big black-powder gun), it's a miracle that a cartoon this funny managed to spring up out of the bland mire of this later H-B material. Skip Atom and Precious and watch the Bears! In terms of physical quality, everything looks and sounds fine here. "The Tom and Jerry Show" is interesting only for some linking segments animated by Chuck Jones, which have not been seen in years. They're not in very good shape, but they're fun to see for the first time. The rest of the show is classic MGM cartoons: Tom and Jerry in "Salt Water Tabby", Droopy in "Mutts About Racing" and Tom, Jerry and Little Quacker in "Just Ducky". These are nothing new if you already own the Tom and Jerry "Spotlight" sets and the "Tex Avery's Droopy" DVD, the only difference is that the MGM Lion openings and credits are replaced with made-for-TV title cards. The set comes to a close with "Magilla Gorilla". Some fans of this series complained that the stand-alone series DVD set didn't include the theme song, and it has been included here. Magilla Gorilla is fondly remembered, but really doesn't have a whole lot going for him except a catchy theme song and a likeable personality. A bonus documentary pretty much agrees with me. As with "Atom Ant", the supporting segments are more entertaining, but not by much. "Punkin Puss and Mushmouse" are a sort of talkative, Ozark hillbilly Tom and Jerry, and probably never caught on with audiences due to their derivative premise. There are only so many variations that can be done on the "cat vs. mouse" cartoon, and by the time these guys came along, they were one variation too many. "Ricochet Rabbit", a segment sometimes seen on "Peter Potamus" as well, is a lot of fun. A rabbit sheriff named Ricochet (Don Messick) and his deputy, Droop-Along Coyote (Mel Blanc), try to keep law and order in the Wild West. It's got some wit to it, and the characters are instantly likeable, but the influence of earlier Western plots in "Huckleberry Hound" and "Quick Draw McGraw" is painfully clear. In summary, this DVD is a fun way to spend a lazy day off, and nostalgia hounds will get a kick out of it. Unfortunately, it's a mixed bag in terms of content and image quality. It does offer a lot of material for not a lot of money, so it's well worth checking out as long as you're not expecting perfection. And doooon't you forget it!

(Corgi Kid, 2009-11-03) This is a cool blast from the past (1960's) that will be enjoyed by anyone who loves the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. I just wish it had a collector's booklet or episode guide so you read more about the cartoons and summaries. I hope Warner will release more in this series.

(Dragon57, 2009-10-31) The notes stated that there were going to be some good cartoons here. SAVE YOUR 20 BUCKS. No Herculoids and Frankenstein Jr. and The Impossibles could not be found. Think I will have to go back to my first plan and simply wait for a studio to release these two titles separately like they did with Space Ghost and Bird Man. Please wake me when the studios release what I want and not just what they want to waste my time with.

(Paul J. Mular, 2009-10-21) **NOTE: Amazon's description has the wrong titles** From the Warner press release (which has the correct titles): Disc 1 Quick Draw McGraw: Mine Your Manners/Vacation Tripped/Person To Prison Space Kidettes/Young Samson & Goliath: Show # 5 - Space Heroes / The SSX-19 Bugs Bunny Show: #23 - Big House Bunny/Canned Feud/Home Tweet Home The Porky Pig Show: #3 - Scaredy Cat/Baton Bunny/Feather Dusted Adventures of Young Gulliver: Dangerous Journey The Wally Gator Show (with Lippy the Lion and Touche Turtle): Droopy Dragon/Whale of a Tale/Sea-Saw The Jetsons: Elroy's Mob Disc 2 Quick Draw McGraw: The Mark of El Kabong/Party Pooper Pop/Chily Chiller Peter Potamus Show (with Breezly and Sneezly and Yippie, Yappie, Yahooey): Wagon Train Strain / Missle Fizzle / Black Bart The Road Runner Show: #1 - Zip and Snort/The Jet Cage/The Wild Chase Atom Ant Show (with Precious Pupp and Hillbilly Bears): Atom Ant Meets Karate Ant / Bowling Pinned / Picnic Panicked Tom & Jerry Show (MGM-TV): Saltwater Tabby/Mutts About Racing/Just Ducky Magilla Gorilla / Punkin Puss / Ricochet Rabbit: Show #3 - Private Magilla / Army Nervy Game / TV Show I must admit that I am disappointed not to get any more Herculoids or Impossibles super-hero cartoons, which is why I give it only four stars. The inclusion of two more Quick Draw McGraw cartoon shows is most likely to make up for the cancellation of his complete series DVD box set last year. Magilla Gorilla & The Jetsons are a double dip here but the rest is mostly new to DVD. A highlight for Looney Tunes fans is the inclusion of three different shows that feature some new-to-DVD Warner Brothers cartoons (not all are new). Again this is making up for the cancellation of the Golden collections of DVDs.

(P. Wade Thompson, 2009-11-11) Just got this set today and I haven't had time to watch any of it yet. When I opened the box from Amazon, I was surprised at the packaging. I didn't know, or at least didn't remember, that it would be in a metal case, which was a great bonus. Then I took the two 'books' out of the case to flip through the DVDs and I got a little perplexed. The Volume 1 DVDs were in the Volume 2 Book and vice versa. Odd, I thought. So, I decided to 'fix' the problem by switching the DVDs out one by one, which I thought was a great idea until I realized there are more discs in the second book. So, I had to switch the DVDs back to their original book and switch the cover and booklets instead. Not a big problem and nothing worth complaining about, just thought I'd save anyone else with the same trouble the hassle of mistakenly trying to switch the discs. Now that that's solved, I can start watching Justice League!

(James K. Collins, 2009-11-10) I don't think I'll buy this as I have all the previously released season sets. Aside from that, this show is extremely good. In many ways it culminates several plotlines from the original Batman/Superman shows, Batman Beyond, and even a reference to the Static Shock show from when he had to stop a posessed John Stewart. I love this show. You can't go wrong with this set!

(Erik D. Ramon, 2009-10-21) Just had to let the world know that this series bundled up in one shot is awesome!!! My wife and I watched this when they finally released it separately season by season and now she really enjoys animated shows in general.I say if you have not watched this yet get it!!

(Brent Huxford, 2009-09-28) I grew up on Super Friends and the orginal JLA, but it was geared toward me and my current age at that time. This series hooked myself and my 3 year old. Which says alot for the story writing and character highlights per episode. very complex story arcs give it the feel of prime time shows, without all the tired wit. It's made for kids, plain and simple, but this series does it right with such a range, you not only enjoy the show, it's not a guilty pleasure. The animation really hasn't dated itself either. They stayed on the cutting edge of the day to give this series a more lasting look. Some of the 3D sequences are slightly aged, but easily over looked. Pit against Superman or Batman: the animated series, this is easily the best one. Each is good in it's right, but if i could choose one, this is it. Not only do you get the same amazing voice talent (Batman), the stories are so rich and varied, you find yourself never bored with the series.

(Servo, 2009-09-27) Justice League - The Complete Series is a 15-disc collection comprised of the following: Justice League - Season One Justice League - Season Two Justice League Unlimited - Season One (Actually JLU S1 & S2) (aka JL S3 & S4) Justice League Unlimited - Season Two (Actually JLU S3) (aka JL S5) The first 15 episodes of Justice League Season One were originally released separately on the single-disc volumes Secret Origins, Justice on Trial, Paradise Lost (all on June 1, 2004) and The Brave and the Bold (October 19, 2004). Also available on the 4-disc JL Season One set released on March 21, 2006 featuring all 26 episodes (multi-part arcs) in Full-Frame (1.33:1) video with following seasons to be in widescreen as originally animated; plus a host of special features. The final 3 episodes of Justice League Season Two were originally released separately (before ever airing on TV) on the single-disc volume Starcrossed: The Movie on July 13, 2004 in Anamorphic Widescreen. Also available on the 4-disc JL Season Two set released on June 20, 2006 which oddly featured all 26 episodes (multi-part arcs) in non-Anamorphic Widescreen; plus special features. 6 episodes from the first half of Justice League Unlimted Season One were originally released separately on the single-disc volumes Saving the World (February 15, 2005) and "Joining Forces" (September 20, 2005). Also available on the 4-disc Anamorphic Widescreen JLU Season One set released on October 24, 2006 which (despite the "Season One" box title) actually contains both JLU Seasons One and Two (each 13 episodes) featuring extras covering only the first half of the 2 in 1 season set with the following season set to include the missing bonus material. The final 13 episodes of Justice League Unlimited were only released on the 2-disc Anamorphic Widescreen JLU Season Two set released on March 20, 2007 featuring the extra sorely missed from the previous set, "Cadmus: Exposed" which resolved the discussion on the popular series story arc; plus other bonus material. For the Complete Series release, Warner Home Video has lovingly repackaged from the separate season sets all 91 episodes and respective special features (in respective aspect ratios) on 15 single-sided DVDs (including a brand new bonus disc) all in an exclusive collectible box set that does justice to DCAU's League of Extraordinary Superheroes. Special Features include: New Bonus Disc Documentary "Unlimited Reserve: Exploring the Depths of the DC Universe". Commentary on 8 episodes with Series Creators: "The Enemy Below Part 2", "Legends Part 2", "The Savage Time Part 2", "Twilight Part 2", "A Better World Part 2", "Starcrossed Part 3", "This Little Piggy", "The Return". Featurettes: "Inside Justice League", "The Look of The League", "The Blueprint for Justice", "Justice League - The First Mission", "Voices of Justice", "Justice League: Declassified", "And Justice for all", "Themes of Justice", "Cadmus: Exposed", "Justice League Chronicles", Music-only audio track for the final episode "Destroyer". Easter Egg: "Not too Savage", a Deleted Scene with an introduction by producer Bruce Timm. Packaging: Two large and sturdy digipaks - one for "Justice League" featuring Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman cover art identical to the outer box, and one for "Justice League Unlimited" featuring Red Tornado, Dr. Fate and Aquaman cover art - inside a heavy outer cardboard box. Bottom Line: Highly recommended, especially for fans who don't own any of the previous season set releases. To fans that already own the previous releases, just know that aside from the bonus disc documentary (and the convenience of complete series packaging) all of the disc content are the same as the previous releases before you decide.

(Kyle Leader, 2009-06-02) the first season of futurama was pretty good but this one is the best of the seasons. this season has some great episodes like Head in the Polls where Nixon takes benders body and runs for president of earth. other good episode include the deep south and war is the H-word one episode that is not very funny is the honking but all the other episodes make up for it. the box set has 19 episodes and the episodes are still good before the quality declined in the third and fourth season.

(Egalitarian, 2009-01-29) This is a set of funny cartoons, albeit, crass, sarcastic, base at times, and sometimes outright vulgar, but never the less, entertaining, if one can get past the afronting style the writers for this show use. I would not recommend this for children.

(Patrick Moore, 2009-01-12) I still can't believe that they ended the series, considering what all makes it on t.v. today. I love this series and I got it for my brother who was devastated when they took it off the air (well-not devatated, but pretty darn dissapointed). He loves this series more than I do, so I have to give it a 5-star rating. I received the dvd on time and in store quality condition.

(David M. Wright, 2008-09-30) There's nothing I like more than watching cartoons just after I wake up mid-afternoon and eating breakfast, and Futurama is one of the best cartoons to accompany that. It's hard to judge a season of Futurama without judging it against the context of four stellar seasons and two excellent movies, and not on its own merit. Expanded against first season's mere 13 episodes, this season has 19 episodes of sci-fi parody Groening style. As a number of reviewers have stated, each episode is jam packed with visual jokes that requires pausing several times just to get everything. On top of that, we are continued to the continuing adventures of one of the greatest casts in animation history: Fry, Bender, Leela, Professor Farnsworth, and my personal favorite, Dr. Zoidberg. Some episode highlights include: "Brannigan, Begin Again" where Zapp Brannigan is court martialed and forced to live Midnight Cowboy style, "Raging Bender" where Bender becomes a robot wrestler, "A Bicyclops for Two" where Leela meets fellow cylcops alien "Al"cazar, and "War Is The H-Word" where Fry negotiates peace with the head of Henry Kissinger. A great alternative to the Simpsons (especially modern Simpsons)!!!

(Jonathan Wimms, 2008-05-20) Exactly what is described above. Its very good quality show now I can watch it any time I want to.

(Egalitarian, 2009-01-23) These cartoons are written in such a way so as to express all manner of humor, base or otherwise, with subtlety, and sometimes with no subtlety at all. Normally, Cartoons tend to express innocense or simplicity, these do not, let the buyer be aware, and let the buyer think carefully before purchasing these for children, as they may not be suitable for same given the content and portent. Other than the aformentioned, these cartoons can be very funny.

(Janvil, 2008-07-30) Every single episode of this show was classic. What a shame that this show didn't out-live the non-funny Simpsons. My Futurama collection is my best video collection posession besides Invader Zim. Best episodes in this volume are Parasites Lost and I Dated a Robot. Enjoy. =]

(Andrew A. Enterline, 2008-04-08) The dvd's set is great, it has a lot of extras and very silly pictures on all the dvd's and behind them. The show is very clever and funny, its episodes all have great stories which advance the relationship of all it's charaters. Worth watching over and over!

(Lyndsey, 2008-01-20) I'm sad this show is cancelled, but luckily it's funny enough to watch over and over and it never loses its humor. Of course, this can be said for all 4 boxed sets, and movies.. not just the third. Buy it.. before it's too late.

(J. Felder, 2007-12-14) The 3rd installment/volume of Futurama is as good or better than all the rest. I won't go into each and every episode - quite a few have already done so (better than I ever could). What I will offer is an opinion on the series itself. It's essentially the Seinfeld of animated series. Most, if not all, episodes have infinite longevity. From Fry's endless obsession with Leela to Bender's constant black humor. Zoidberg's self-deprecating humor matched with Farnsworth's constant 2nd place finishes. Amy's pseudo-naivete paired against Kiff's subtle bumblings. Santa-Bot's paradoxical ravings infecting the drunken, whimsical elves (like something out of a Tim Burton "nightmare"). Hermes' steady, Jamaican, taskmaster personality controlling each situation with effectiveness. This series has infinite influences to numerous to fully capture - so I'll stop trying. Futurama has a devoted fan-following for countless reasons. Just watch it - you'll be hooked.

(Ryan, 2009-09-27) I love Futurama, so there isn't much to say here. The package got here quickly and it was priced well, 5/5.

(N. Turner, 2009-03-13) I ordered this DVD as a present for my son. He told me exactly what he wanted, I looked on Amazon.com, found it, ordered it, and had it delivered to his home. There is nothing easier than that. Thank you, Amazon!!!

(Egalitarian, 2009-01-29) This set of cartoons are mostly sarcastic, sometimes base and vulgar, revealing, for what cartoons can reveal, and yet even funny, that is if one can get past the afronting style of the writers. I would not recommend this for children.

(Ryan B. Treziok, 2009-01-19) They knew the series was probably coming to an end at this point. They did sorta 'tie' up the loose ends. But either way, I love this series. All 4 of these volumes are 5 stars to me. I'm just as happy with the new stuff.

(Karen L. Mercer, 2008-12-16) I was a little disappointed not to get the dvd. It was a present for family. But thanks for promptly refunding my money.

(Charlie Brooks, 2009-11-09) Family Guy has a strange history. Although it was always well-received, the executives at Fox seemed to have a vendetta against the show, heavily censoring it and then finally canceling it before its time. However, strong DVD sales and high ratings on Cartoon Network pulled the series back from the brink. The result is this DVD volume which features the beginning of Family Guy's return. The show starts off strong again, although it doesn't quite have the same crackle that it once had. Family Guy, like the Simpsons, has a number of divisive opinions. Some claim the shows have gone steadily downhill for years, while others claim that it's funnier than ever. My opinion on the series is the former, but most of that downhill slide came after this DVD volume. The episodes on this DVD include a terrific return to the airwaves coupled with a skewering of Fox's decision to cancel them in the first place. It fleshes out some of the minor characters of Quahog, such as Peter's neighbor Cleveland, and it gives the spotlight to Meg and Chris a bit more. Most importantly, it features an episode guest-starring James Woods that is one of the best Family Guy episodes there has ever been. The reason I give this four stars instead of five is because while the episodes are very good, there are definite signs that the show has lost some of its focus over the years. Stewie has gone from being an evil baby to a continuous gay joke, although the creators do sometimes tap back into his sinister side. The cutaways become increasingly nonsensical as the writers start to rely more on one-note jokes than the plot of the show. And some running gags, particularly Peter's recurring fights with a giant chicken, will leave newcomers to the show cold. While these are all symptoms to the show's eventual slide, the episodes here remain in good form. While not quite as strong as seasons 2 and 3 were, this new Family Guy is still worth watching and will definitely earn its laughs.

(S. Wade, 2009-08-16) The dvd came in good shape. Both the disks and case are in good condition and the dvd's play great. The order was delivered in good timing as well.

(B. Johnson, 2009-06-10) This is by far my favorite show on TV. As a long-time Simpsons fan, I was skeptical when The Family Guy came out and never watched it until after it was on DVD. I'm glad I did. I bought all the DVDs to catch up and now never miss an episode. It's the funniest show around.

(Pickle June, 2009-02-04) Other than Fox ripping us off, this is some great stuff. You can learn so much by watching these shows.

(MissWeezy, 2008-08-22) This was the only set I didn't have yet... I found it available at walmart for $36, but bought it here for $20 and happen to get free shipping. With almost $20 saved, I bought the video game too!! Thank you Amazon!!! :)

(Lotus Flower, 2009-05-05) The title for my review says a lot!! Again...why split seasons up so much? MONEY!! This volume 4 was definitely better than volume 6. This was much more on the edge and a lot funnier episodes. I do not like when you get 3 or 4 discs in the volume and there is only one episode on the last disc. Again, great entertainment for people who can laugh at themselves (instead of others). Family Guy fans, a must have!

(B. Peters, 2009-02-14) I am a huge fan of the show and this was a great pick up of a the dvd and it arrived in perfect shape

(Jeff Cummer, 2008-12-21) While there are still great episodes, this season has more personal slams, more biting, and less of the clever twists and alterations of current events and other outside shows. A little overdone on degrading various other groups - not with the clever humor of previous seasons but more sophmoric shock humor. Still has some quick laughs and twisted inserts that make Family Guy the fabulous show that it is.

(Jill L. Terry, 2008-11-29) This set comes with 4 DVDs in seperate thin cases and all are in perfect condition, not one scratch on any of them, and nothing is torn on the box, plus the DVDs are HILARIOUS

(Jason S. Greene, 2008-10-23) I wish people would just enjoy the show for what it is instead of bashing it on here. If (in my opinion) you want to comment on it say something positive not negative. THere's enough negative crap in the world as it is. Sure every show and movie out there has flaws. Nobody is perfect. You know there is a button on your t.v. remote that says on/off you know. Stewie is my fave character! I got the family guy bendable set and a Stewie plush animated doll. HILARIOUS!!! SOmeone always comments on it when new people come over. You know they should make a movie: "Chucky vs. Stewie"! That would've been better I believe than the "Seed of CHucky". THink about it, there both bout the same size and both have overalls. Hmmmm. What you all think? Just a idea. I got a few Chucky dolls from 12" to 30" too. That Stewie Halloween costume is cool too!

(Charlie Brooks, 2009-11-09) This DVD volume presents the third season of Family Guy, which is also probably the best. The characters are firmly established, the pacing between the stories and cutaways is excellent, and the balance of crude and clever humor is just about perfect. Like many others, you will probably watch these episodes and wonder how on Earth Fox ever decided to cancel such a terrific show. The episodes here come from Family Guy's peak. The show would get canceled following this season, and even though it came back, it never quite matched what was done here. Key among the episode list is "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," the show's infamous banned episode. While I'm normally not one for commentary tracks, the creator commentary on this episode is very illuminating not only as to the messed up logic that Fox takes when deciding such matters but also in illustrating how badly the network seemed to have it in for this show. Family Guy, volume 2 might as well be called "The Best of Family Guy." For folks who have never seen the show, it is a great introduction with some classic episodes. For those who only started watching after it returned, these episodes blow the current ones away. And for those who enjoyed the show in its heyday, this volume is a great reminder of how terrific McFarlane and company were before Fox decided to pull the plug all too early.

(Stephanie Robjohns, 2009-06-29) for all Family Guy fans you already know this was a great season. my only small complaint is that when watching the dvds, sometimes the color flickers. like Lois's hair or a bright red shirt.

(ABC Snoopy, 2009-05-18) This is the last season to be clean and not dirty although there are some parts that are still weird like when Peter was upset at Chris because he had a bigger well you know what I mean. In later seasons there is a lot more curing and more violence and they insult a lot of people. This season barely has any of this and everyone should get it and say that this is much better than later seasons although the later seasons are still good too in a weird way.

(Jose Lopez, 2009-03-12) I love family guy, This is one of my favorite seasons, My Favorite is the Poltergeist spoof(Phil Collins anyone?).. Stewie is the Funniest, Though The Creator is a Uber Liberal, You cannot deny that this show (Except when poking fun at non-liberals) is hilarious to watch!

(A. Kennedy, 2009-04-28) I have to say, fun season, with some funny episodes but I agree, don't split the seasons in half put the whole season in. My other complaint is, I ordered this actual box, not the large flat limited one with the story boards. It looks ridiculous in my DVD shelf.

(Steve G, 2009-04-13) In the previous half season releases, there has always been a "Volume_x, part 2". Well, what happened to Volume 5, Part 2??? We have Part 1, then it jumps to Volume 6. Also, where are the widescreen versions? I'm sure Seth McFarland creates the originals in widescreen, then P&S's them down to 4:3. Is this another way to get the fans to shell out more $$$ for the Blu-Ray versions??? (I see volume 1 is due to be released in the DB format). Seth, without us the loyal fans, you wouldnt have a hit show, so why stick it to us by releasing half seasons and then once we've purchased those, then you release the High Def widescreen editions....

(S. McCullough, 2009-03-14) Family Guy Vol 5 was as crazy as Family Guy always is. Seller's service was great

(C. Powell, 2009-02-25) I'm a huge fan of family guy. I watch it with my entire family. I ordered this season and the second disc was "Nim's Island." It had the family guy logo on the disc and everything, but when we put it in the DVD player, "Nim's Island" started. This was a short enough season as it is. Now we only have the first disc of 4 or 5 episodes. Highly disappointing.

(finn, 2009-01-13) I bought this to add to our now full collection of Family Guy seasons and it's one of the funniest yet!

(Ryan M. Kane, 2009-10-10) If you have never heard of the Griffins', well maybe you should start here. You will really enjoy the comedy of Seth MacFarlane. Laugh Out Loud Funny!

(ITGurl, 2009-09-13) This is my second copy of Vol. 1. The box was slightly damaged on the first copy and it bothered me so much I had to get a new one. I remember when Family Guy first debuted on TV thinking that the idea of a talking baby was ridiculous so I never bothered to watch the program. Then one day I was on YouTube looking at videos and saw a hilarious clip of Family Guy featuring Stewie. I started watching the program after that and was completely hooked after a couple of episodes. I own all the volumes of this show and look at them often laughing hysterically. I would love to choose my favorite characters but that would be impossible since they are all so funny. If you haven't watched this program, you are cheating yourself out of an extremely funny and witty show.

(F. Grant, 2009-09-12) Love it. That's all I have to say. To add: its nice to have two seasons in one DVD box set.

(Khalid Alnaqbi, 2009-08-24) My first time to watch the Family Guy episode was few months ago. I actually enjoyed that episode in my hotel, though I don't know what season it was from. So, I decided to buy Season 1 and 2. Pros: 1. I loved Stewi with his funny thinking and his British accent, I think he's the best character in the whole show. I also like the dog and Lois. Peter Griffin was not the best character (dumb, has a stupid laugh) and his son has the same problem. 2. The show has some good jokes now and then. Cons: 1. I agree that the show was insensible in discussing many issues, like people with special needs or other religions. 2. There are many scenes with nudity and violence in this show, which I do not appreciate, especially for this "family" cartoon. I also did not notice that this show brings many of the values for our society, despite what the song says (It seems today, that all you see, is violence in movies and sex on TV) !! There is that pervert guy who's the Griffin's neighbor, that needs to be removed from the show ! 3. Season 1 has 1 CD but without any special features. Season 2 has Behind the Scenes feature which lasted probably for few minutes. Hope the next seasons are better.

(A. Malone, 2009-08-04) Thanks for the fast transaction!!! It was here on time and yes I would definitely order from this person again it was just how they said it was going to be and i am definitely enjoying the Family Guy set that I bought for my husband... It is so appreciated thanks again. Great Seller will buy from again!!! :)

(Louanne Antista, 2009-09-25) Absolutely great & funny show. just what we wanted. have watched several times cause we enjoy the story guys so much.

(Mat van gogh, 2009-09-10) i love this show. and it has alot of footage not shown on tv,great extras and commentary tracks on each episode. well worth the money.

(Megan, 2009-09-02) I am a little biased, because I'm a huge Family Guy fan, so keep that in mind when reading this! If you love family guy and are a collector, then I really don't need to be writing this, you should already know how awesome it is, and to have it at your fingertips every time you have a craving is fantastic. Family guy is hysterical, and I really love the newer seasons, so I'd definitely recommend this DVD. ((I love how I sound like an addict in this review. :) ))

(Brook Kivett, 2009-07-11) My Family Guy did not arrive for 3 weeks after my pay pal went through. The first Disk scrachs on it.

(K. Orlando, 2009-06-27) Always a great show for laughs and/or shock value, which is usually followed by laughter. I do think that the earlier seasons had better continuity, but new stuff is good because it's fresh.

(E. A Solinas, 2009-08-23) It's time for the nefarious plans of the Bount to be revealed, and for our heroes to torturously fight their way to the ultimate bad guy. "Bleach 22" is top-heavy on elaborate magical combat and light on actual plot developments, but it has some interesting plot twists -- particularly one that seems to be leading into the next big arc. While Ichigo's little gang recuperates from their fights, Yumichika has discovered the location of the Bounts' hideout, and the four Soul Reaper officers head inside. Obviously things go wrong for them, or this arc would end pretty quickly. Specifically, they run afoul of the bespectacled Ugaki, whose doll turns shadows into weapons, eyeballs and giant hands. When Ichigo and Co. arrive, they are attacked by the same tactics. In the meantime, Uryu encounters a Soul Reaper from the previous arcs -- Nemu Kurotsuchi, who has come there to give him a very special item that may provide some temporary help in his current trouble. And Ichigo has some shocking discoveries of his own when he finds and attacks the souped-up Kariya -- he learns the true origins of the Bount, and what their ultimate goal is. The first 75% of "Bleach Volume 22" is pretty much non-stop action and fighting -- our heroes and the supporting cast are assaulted with biting flying eyeballs, falling rocks, ropy tentacles Ichigo and Orihime), giant shadow hands (Rukia and Yumichika) and occasionally The Pizza Cutter From Hell. Even Uryu gets pulled into some combat with Nemu. But the plot erupts all over the place in the fourth episode, with new revelations and a very shocking plot twist that leaves the heroes at even more of a disadvantage. There's still action (mainly a bloodied Ichigo bouncing around with his bankai powers), but the story suddenly hits a turning point. It's pretty obvious that a whole new arc is opening up after this, and the advantage is with the Bounts. The biggest flaw? Uryu does something INSANELY contrived at the end of this round of episodes, which is also uncharacteristically selfish, stupid and short-sighted. Even more bizarre, all the characters instantly forgive him. Other than that, several of the characters get to shine -- Ichigo's determination to stop the Bounts' master plan is tempered by his disgust for Kariya sacrificing one of his own. Orihime gets to show her skills in battle, and the four visiting Soul Reapers also demonstrate their own skill and stamina. When even flake queen Rangiku is utterly serious and Yumichika doesn't whine about "ugly" things, you know it's bad. "Bleach Volume 22" is marred by a contrived climactic twist and an absurd decision from Uryu, but is otherwise a solid, action-packed gateway into a new arc.

(Matt Elias, 2009-10-25) This is a great compilation of various Adult Swim shows. With Aqua Teen, Space Ghost, and Sealab, it's got all the classic shows from when [adult swim] first started, along with the recent shows, Moral Oral, Robot Chicken, and Metalocalypse. I will probably get this when it comes out, seems like a good mix. Like other reviewers, the season choice is... strange to say the least. Although, I'm guessing that [adult swim] thought that those were the best seasons/volumes that have been released so far. And I mostly agree, although I like season 1 Sealab better. Also, while I'm sad of the exclusion of Home Movies (Adult Swim DID premier with the episode 'Directors Cut'), I'm guessing it's not in there because all of the shows seem to be in house shows from William's Street, while Home Movies was Soup2Nuts. But, Metalocalypse is there for people who need their Brendon Small fix, so it's all good. Also, the pilot DVD makes the deal even more great, Welcome to Eltingville is amazing.

(Andrew J. Bush, 2009-10-20) For the [adult swim] fan, this may seem like an ideal gift. It certainly would be, provided they don't already own one or more of the seasons present in this box set. Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken and Metalocalypse are present-day staples of the [adult swim] lineup. For those who have only recently tuned in, Sealab 2021 and Space Ghost Coast to Coast may be welcome discoveries of shows missed. Moral Oral is an acquired taste (I enjoyed it), and its inclusion is a little odd, whereas the other shows had more mass appeal to the [adult swim] audience. The obvious question is: Why are all of the shows not season 1? I don't have that answer. Suffice it to say the only [adult swim] show that requires sequential viewing is The Venture Bros. (whose inclusion would have made much more sense than Moral Orel). Viewers will not suffer from not having seen the first seasons of Aqua Teen Hunger Force (the show follows no on-going plotlines), Space Ghost (a late-nite talk show), Robot Chicken (a stop-motion skit comedy show), or Sealab 2021 (a sitcom-like series, but also does not follow on-going plotlines). My assumption is that Cartoon Network perhaps has too many of these particular seasons in stock, and felt this would be an excellent way to move some overstock. In any case, this box set is a wonderful sampling of what [adult swim] has to offer in way of programming, both past and present. What is not mentioned in the product description is the inclusion of a disc containing previously unavailable pilot episodes. They are: Korgoth of Barbaria, Welcome to Eltingville, Perfect Hair Forever, Cheyenne Cinnamon, and The Best of Totally for Teens. (Full disclosure: The inclusion of Korgoth and Eltingville made this a 'must buy' for this reviewer. I've kept a vhs recording of Eltingville since it first aired in 2002 and Korgoth was on my dvr for well over a year before being deleted.) These pilots also offer a great mix of animated comedy and a look at what might-have-been for [adult swim].

(Eden A. Davis, 2009-10-20) if everything was season 1. what the hell is up with the random seasons for each show???

(Terence Kiang, 2009-11-09) This is an amazing box set... one of the most detailed and comprehensive that I've seen in a series box. The total size is a little bigger than a basketball. The Bender head is well detailed (for a cartoon head) and arguably "life-size". The front and back window display the "head" and there's a hatch in the back for DVD storage. The sides are mock photographs that create a refraction effect that water can give to fish in aquariums when viewed at an angle. I have not opened it, but the label outside says that the antenna is included for the top. This set includes all the DVDs and movies which is about the same price as buying all the items together (as of this writing). Definitely worth the $117 where it's priced now. So glad I got it on amazon instead of carrying it around at Comic-Con.

(T. Newbanks, 2009-11-04) Great box set. You don't get any literature at all, but Bender's head makes up for it. Great idea and I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't started/completed their Futurama collection.

(Lucas McNeill, 2009-11-04) I'll admit that I am a total Futurama fanboy. I love anything and everything Futurama. I already own the 4 seasons and all the movies on DVD, but when this complete collection came out I said "me want!" The problem is, this collection is a bunch of disks in a Bender head... sure, it's a great case, but the disks just go in slots... there is no directory for the discs, they are just labeled Vol 1 Part 1, disc 2, that sort of thing... there is no episode listing.

(nathanb131, 2009-10-22) I had the impression that this was a little box with a bunch of dvd's in sleeves with a holographic image on the outsides that make it look like Bender's head is in a tank. So I was surprised to find a very large box on my doorstep. The pic you are looking at is a box with clear windows and Bender's 'real-sized' head is in there! Awesome! You open a hatch in the back of his head and all the dvd's are stacked vertically in grooves. It's a fantastic and fun concept. I feel like I got so much more than I bargained for since the head is a fun display piece. Though here's the reason for the 4 stars: The hatch is sort of hard to open... though I suppose it won't flop open on it's own. My real issue is with the dvd rack once you open Bender's hatch. They are spaced very close together in those grooves AND it's kind of annoying to get the dvd lined up quite right when pushing it back in it's right slot. You have to really focus to make sure you are sliding it in right. Also, it's kind of hard to pull out the disks by holding them on the edge. You can, but just another 1/4" would have been nice. It makes you want to pinch the dvd on the flat parts, which leads to smudges. Also, you can't see what dvd's you are grabbing until you pull it out a little to check. They come stacked in order, so you just count down til you get to the right one. A directory on the inside of that hatch would be nice, in fact I'm going to make one myself. So the content is definitely 5 stars, anyone considering this already knows that. The head as a collector's item is way fun. The head as a dvd holder is a bit difficult though. I really like opening up Bender to pick out a disc, but could definitely see storing these dvd's in a sleeved case in the future. Another reason I'd do that is because the box bender came in makes a fun display too since it makes it look like his head is in a tank of water. So the last thing you'd want to do to get to an episode is to open the box, pull out Bender, fumble to pry open Bender, count down to which one you want and try not to scuff it while pulling it out....repeat. Note to fox, it would be great if you could open the hatch by pressing Bender's antenna, that's how he activates things on the show. It would also be great if when you pressed on the antenna you got a nice 'bit my shiny metal @#$' or any other Benderisms.

(Z. Velasco, 2009-10-16) I think this was a great idea and well worth the money IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY picked up any of the Futurama DVDs. However, the title is misleading as this is not a complete collection. See the name plate at the bottom? See how it says "1999 - 2009?" That's because Futurama is coming back with a new season in 2010. So if you want a release of all that's been released on DVD so far, this is for you. If you are hoping to get all of Futurama in one neat collection, I'd hold off and see if FOX decides to release another "complete collection" after the new season airs.

(Allan Jay Nussbaum, 2009-11-08) Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever. The high energy, action packed fight and chase scenes in Casino Royale and Q of S make this the Bond venue that Bond was meant to be. On a scale of 1-10, Craig rates an 11 in the double-oh scheme of things. Hurry up with the next adventure.

(RAP, 2009-11-06) No reason to belabor these comments - if you enjoyed the Connery/Bond movies, you will find this to be a deeply and excruciatingly painful degradation of the Ian Fleming novels. I will not watch or purchase another Bond movie with Craig in the lead role - for my money, he is almost the perfect "anti-Bond" - no culture, no sophistication, a deadly dull "tough guy" and totally politically correct - what a bore!!!

(BOND "DOUBLEAGENT", 2009-11-03) Action was jerky and did not flow well. It really seemed pieced together much like a movie is actually shot. Script did not flow well either. Scenes to short,and to many changes. Hard to follow storyline and hard to keep track of the characters. Casino Royale was much better. A slower pace but with action that would pull you in and end with a spectacular finish.

(Ben Larkins, 2009-10-26) I'll be honest, I came away with some mixed feelings about this one, but in the end it deserves the 4 stars it gets for a few reasons. It took me a while to get used to the different style of this movie, but once I did I believe it became all the more enjoyable. The writer/director/(insert important movie title) people took some liberties with the movie and the Bond franchise that in the end I believe paid off. Even from the start of the credits, I could tell this movie was going to be a bit different, and considering the sequel-esque nature of this film, it most certainly stood out, in a good way. The action was varied, but each setting that Bond found himself in was quite believable. It didn't feel that him being on a plane or boat was forced down our throat just to fulfill a mandate for more fast-paced scenes, as some critics will lead you to believe. What separates this movie from a good portion of so many other Bond films of the past is that the mental state of Bond, with all of it's humanity and baggage, comes to light. We see an older and more conflicted Bond. Casino Royale made us believe that Daniel Craig can carry the responsibility of James Bond quite well. Quantum of Solace helps us see the ups and downs of the burden of that responsibility. Overall, I enjoyed the movie, and enjoyed the pacing, acting, and variety that it brought. I believe that as a sequel, it did justice, and was enjoyable through and through. I wouldn't call it the best Bond movie ever, but what sequel could ever live up to such great expectations?

(S. B. Dupre, 2009-10-21) the writers/driector or this one thought, "Well, let's just do one chase scene after another and forget about substance." Lessee, we start out with cars chasing car, then man chasing man, then on to motorcycle chasing car (assault on the motorcyclist and steal the bike) for more motorcycle chasing car. On to boat chasing big boat then little boats chasing little boat....do you see a theme here? I swear to you it seemed like the entire movie was merely a collection of various chase scenes with a little bit of story squashed in for filler. I like Daniel Craig as the new Bond. The addition here of Olga Kurylenko was pleasant as both she and Craig know their jobs and probably did the best they could with what was offered. Judi Dench has been the best thing that has happened to the Bond series in years and hopefully she will stick around to the bitter end. Ah, speaking of which, we're back to the movie. I've spoken of the lack of substance as the negative in this review. For the postive aspects, we do indeed have Ms. Dench, we have a great new Bond, and we have a more serious tone rather than the tongue-in-cheek of Roger Moore or the boring Timothy Dalton. I really did like Brosnan and thought he suited that type of Bond film. Craig is perfect for the rough hewn, far from perfect agent. There does appear to be tendancy to kill everyone with no regard for any kind of law (yes, I'm fully aware of the meaning of "licensed to kill", but still!) Honestly, I'm really hoping the next Bond will rely more on storyline and less on mindless action. Ms. Dench and Mr. Craig have a lot to offer and will a little help from the writers/director I'm sure we'll see a much better Bond film next time.

(James Sparks, 2008-12-31) I love Gene Kelly! In recent years I sense that he hasn't gotten the due he has deserved. I might be the only one that feels this way, but it seems that our world today is steadily forgetting the great silver screen stars of our movie past that showed the rest of hollywood past and present what being a movie star was all about. Maybe that's just the way it is... maybe we can't do anything about it... But that doens't mean I have to like it! Enough of that.. This is a great movie in it's own right. Based on the Alexandre Dumas classic the movie stays true to the book, and pushed me to find other movies based on classic works. The cast is great! June Allison is so sympathetic (to me at least), and the best supporting character in the movie has to be Vincent Price. Gene Kelly the star of the film shows in comic chops, as well as his dramatic. I can't imagine any major film actor today being able to do what Gene did athletically in the film. Truely a film for the ages that every Kelly fan, silver screen fan, & Dumas fan should pick up.

(Maurice Horowitz, 2008-08-28) Another wonderful swashbuckler. Very entertaining. The color is wonderful. There is nothing like the old movies Terrific.

(Scott Rivers, 2008-08-04) MGM's strange version of the Alexandre Dumas classic remains the most miscast swashbuckler in movie history. Gene Kelly plays D'Artagnan as though he were in a musical, which isn't surprising since George Sidney directs "The Three Musketeers" as though it were "Anchors Aweigh." At least Kelly doesn't sing. This 1948 production finds plenty of actors stuck in the wrong genre: Lana Turner, Van Heflin, June Allyson, Vincent Price, Gig Young, Frank Morgan and Keenan Wynn! Only Angela Lansbury and Reginald Owen emerge unscathed. Sidney approaches the Dumas adventure with an uneasy, uncertain tone - not helped by the cheerfully garish Technicolor. Happily, the filmmaking stylist showed a remarkable resurgence in his 1952 remake of "Scaramouche."

(CHASE, 2008-04-15) Previous reviews have gone on at length about the plot, and made comparisons to other productions, so I'm just adding a few thoughts. 1) Yes, Gene Kelly is jaw-droppingly brilliant in his swashbuckling scenes. I don't think I've ever seen anyone top him, including Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Unfortunately, he does have a tendency to smirk at the worst possible times, including June Bug's death scene. 2) As some others have suggested, Lana Turner and Angela Lansbury should have traded parts, altho Lana's fake remorse scene, done with no make-up and a modified fright wig, is better than I would have expected from The Sweater Girl. 3) Did Miss Allyson have it in her contract that she would only wear costumes which included a Peter Pan collar? Her outfits are nearly as funny as the Musketeers, almost all of which were in various shades of pink, purple and puce. I've seen drag queens on Halloween who were less flamboyant! 4) Was Robert Coote ever THAT YOUNG??

(Sharon Lynn Farley, 2008-02-23) I'm sorry, but technicolor alone doesn't make a good movie. This is a perfectly dreadful version of a classic, ham-handed and light-headed. Only Van Heflin keeps it going. Lana Turner, even when well cast, was an awful actress. Kelly can bound and fence, but his grief over June Allyson is barely serviceable. See the Michael York version instead...MUCH better! (Charlton Heston even makes a better Richelieu.)

(ramon perez, 2009-11-06) ITEM JUST AS DESCRIBED ! FAST AND FRIENDLY ! A REAL PLEASURE DOIN BUSINESS WITH ... THANK YOU !

(Smith, 2009-10-22) All the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are great movies. Love watching Johnny Depp anytime.

(G. Baldree, 2009-10-07) I liked the movie but I prefer the first, curse of the black pearl best. I think it's too much for kids and people should follow ratings guidelines. Entertaining but a bit hard to catch the full explanation of the scenario the first time through.

(rbriann, 2009-08-19) I mistakenly purchased Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End locally, not knowing it was the third installment in the series. I enjoyed it so much I decided to purchase the first two. If you like swashbuckling adventure mixed with the legend of Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman, you'll like these movies. I was thoroughly entertained. Excellent cast.

(Pumpkin Man, 2009-07-09) This is a really good sequel that takes place a few months after the original. Will and Elizabeth are offered clemency by Lord Cutler Beckett if Will can get Jack's compass which points to what its possessor wants most. Along the way, Will runs to the Flying Dutchman, and meets Davy Jones who is also after Jack. Eventually, Davy sends out the Kraken, the large beast who belongs to Davy that stalks the waters. I highly recommend PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST!!!

(Ann Knappe, 2009-09-30) I bought The Three Musketeers to introduce my two grandsons to the classic tale. They are 12 and 10 and I couldn't find a suitable children's edition for them of the book. They had recently taken fencing lessons. I told them this would show them how it used to be done. Their joint opinion was it was great. We really liked the excitement and thought it was really good. We'll watch it again. Thak you, Grandma. They have learned the names of the three Musketeers and plan to read the book next summer when school is over.

(Kamie Shaw, 2009-09-29) My husband was so surprised when he got the DVD. Its not available in any store so I decided to search on Amazon to see if I could find it and Bingo. He has watched it over and over again.

(ROBERT ELLSWORTH, 2009-08-23) I have yet to recieve the DVD so I can't review anythin I haven't gotten yet

(A. Clark, 2009-07-15) The Three Musketeers may not follow the book but it is a fun movie with some witty dialog. Don't think, just watch and enjoy.

(J. Spurgeon, 2009-06-24) What an awesome movie. Perhaps the best version of The Three Musketeers ever made. The cast is excellent. It has a variety of things to keep your attention. Comedy, Action, and Suspense like no other. Rebecca Demornay is absolutely stunning in this movie. I highly recommend you add to your collection if you don't already own this.

(D. LaFaber, 2009-11-05) This is one of the greatest Disney movies ever. The music is great and one you will watcher over and over again. Fast delivery, works well, would not hesitate to buy from this seller again

(GamePlayer30, 2009-10-14) I am getting tired of this and positively will NOT buy Edited/Censored DVDs! Not even a little tiny little edit is ok. Another great movie ruined by the suits.

(Louise Prince, 2009-05-15) I am very satisfied with the movie i purchased from you. My kids love that movie. The description was very good and the shipping was fast.

(Westley, 2009-05-02) I've seen the majority of the "classic" Disney animated films, and "Robin Hood" (1973) does not come close to them in quality. The story features Robin Hood taking on King John, whose brother, the true King of England (King Richard), is off on the Crusades. King John is outraged after being robbed and tricked by Robin Hood and retaliates by increasing the taxes in his kingdom. This back and forth continues for awhile until Robin Hood finally triumphs. Yawn. The quality of animation of "Robin Hood" is not drastically better than what you would see in the typical 70s Saturday morning cartoon. The character designs are rather generic and undistinguished, particularly Toby Turtle, Sir Hiss, and Robin Hood himself. The plot is quite boring and certainly is not clever enough to entertain adults, although it may entertain easily amused children. Clearly, the film's low budget hurt it greatly. The only positive aspects were a couple of decent songs (especially "Not in Nottingham" by Roger Miller) and the conceit of making all the characters into animals. I haven't seen a few of them, but "Robin Hood" is my least favorite of all Disney animated films I have seen. Note: I rented this DVD, so I don't know what extras were offered aside from those on the disk, which included a cute Mickey Mouse cartoon and a couple of lame children's games.

(Jimmie L. G. Thompson, 2009-04-10) Just when you think a Disney classic couldn't be any better you are amazed by the picture and sound quality.

(ramon perez, 2009-11-06) ITEM JUST AS DESCRIBED ! FAST AND FRIENDLY ! A REAL PLEASURE DOIN BUSINESS WITH ... THANK YOU !

(Joseph Polino, 2009-10-22) Great movie to watch in bluray!! looks and sounds fantastic. fast shipping and at a good price.

(Maria D., 2009-10-21) I'm giving this movie 4 stars because the acting is great and johnny depp is just hilarious... besides, who doesn't like pirate movies? Lots of flair, sword fights, big ships, special effects, costumes, the works. Makes for great disney rides. However, although all these movies have amazing entertainment value, their scripts and storytelling SUCK in a way no movie has managed to suck. There is zero cohesion, closure, and at least half of all the subplots you're introduced to vanish in the story without making any sense. Regardless, these movies are so full of action, customes, jokes, and adventure, that you really wouldn't care about the bad storytelling. After all, it's still a pirate movie. Storytelling could only be expected to be "Pirate Quality".

(G. Baldree, 2009-10-07) I love this movie and also really like to watch the extra features in this set. To see the making of the movie is amazing ~ all that goes into it is interesting to watch. The movie itself is funny and adventurous all in one. Good for males and females alike.

(David R. Lingard, 2009-09-12) 5* thats all u need to know on this one great if u dont have this one yet get it right now!!!!

(Gary L. Herstein, 2009-11-11) Complex and dark, as an independent film this is an obvious failure on too many levels to enumerate. Yet as the third part of a tryptich, this is a stunning visual and narrative achievement. The visual effects -- the "visual achievement" part -- have obviously profited from the technological developments of the years following the first film. There is eye candy galore here and for silly folks like me who love watching things blow up in spectacular and impossible ways, there simply is not enough icy coke and popcorn in the world to ever get tired of watching this multi-layered spectacle. But the story-telling -- the "narrative achievement" -- is the real jaw dropper. Now, granted, this will not qualify as your over the top, academically significant, shrieking franco-european existential angst driven piece of "important" film making. But there is some very real story telling going on here that (a) takes it for granted that the audience is not stupid (which was a real problem for some movie critics when this was first released into theatres) (b) and as a result, unapologetically spins out multiply interlaced lines of story that collide, interfere, reflect and refract with one another. So confident are the story-tellers that they stampede over our expectations at the end, and do so with such meticulous and merciless care that it works in a way that could not have worked otherwise. Oh, and as with the first movie in particular, do be sure to stick it out until the end of the credits for the "Easter Egg".

(George Sarant, 2009-11-08) This is a dreadful film, even worse than the second installment, which was a big letdown after the first sparkling version. It is overly long, boring, slow moving despite the action, and a messy plot there is no point in trying to summarize. Given the Disney pedigree I can imagine kids squirming incessantly to this turkey. Here they've taken every sort of sea legend from the Flying Dutchman (without a Dutchman) to Davy Jones in a multicultural stew that doesn't see much of the Caribbean, but from Singapore to the Arctic in a convoluted mess. You have the frequent slaughter of British sailors and soldiers and the girl gets elected "king" of the pirates in a thoroughly ridiculous role. There's too little of Johnny Depp to save this picture. Gone is the wit and humor of the first movie. Worse, the spookiness and magic is totally absent as the Davy Jones crew becomes routinized into surface creatures engaged in ordinary battle. It says something that the best performer in the movie is a monkey. I hope this is mercifully the end to what began with a very charming film.

(G. Warren, 2009-11-08) This movie was awful. I loved the first two movies, even though number two had it's faults, it was ultimately enjoyable. This movie, on the other hand was just bad. Stupid plot devices, plot holes galore, bad dialogue, WAYYYY too much cgi, and a sucky ending for all the characters. I saw it once in the theaters and haven't had the stomach to endure it again, even though It's been on cable several times.

(ramon perez, 2009-11-06) ITEM JUST AS DESCRIBED ! FAST AND FRIENDLY ! A REAL PLEASURE ... THANK YOU !

(Susan, 2009-11-04) This movie was an alright movie. I think it was a little too long, they could have shortened it & it would have been much better.

(R. A. Martinek, 2009-09-12) The classic swashbuckler. While Flynn is his usual buckle-swashing self, the performance by the actress (sorry, I've forgotten her name) who plays Queen Elizabeth I is a CLASSIC, very nearly stealing the show. Good, old fashioned fun.

(Norman Paperman, 2009-09-11) Not quite as solid as Captain Blood but still classic Errol Flynn in top form.

(Robert N. Jackson, 2009-08-04) I have been a huge Errol Flynn fan since I saw my very first swashbuckling movie. This version of Sea Hawk was very nicely re-done. It appears to be complete and the picture quality and sound came out very nicely.

(James Simpson, 2009-06-09) The Sea Hawk(1940) is simply put, the way to make a Hollywood adventure film. Set during the time of Queen Elizabeth the First and the forming of the Spanish armada, the story focuses on a Captain Geoffery Thorpe(Erroyl Flynn) who leads a group of sailors to do battle against Spain who has sights on the destruction of England. Flynn is in top form and at his charismatic height, backed by his usual team of eccentrics and adventurers(including of course, Alan Hale). He romances the beautiful Brenda Marshall, standing in for Olivia DeHaviland, but being charming and pretty nonetheless. Claude Rains portrays a dubious Spanish ambassador and performs with great zeal and Henry Daniel is a great villian, even being able to duel with Flynn in one of the best directed sword fights ever filmed. Flor Robson is a very likeable Queen, with a crush on Flynn and there scenes together are some of the film's highlights. Director Michael Curtiz makes the epic move at a lightning pace and handles the action effortlessly. His direction being greatly enhanced by the legendary score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who adds a certain adventurous flair that will be mucgh imitated in future films. This print is a lovely remaster and even sports the original Sepia tone tint for the Spanish scene which adds immeasurably to the action and the feel of heat and desperation. The DVD is blessed with a load of bonus features including Theatrical Trailer and even a Documentary on the making of this classic. Highly reccomended Adventure film for all ages and a great piece of Cinema for Adventure seekers everywhere.

(Bobby Underwood, 2009-04-28) "You Spanish have a gift for hospitality, when your guests are in chains." -- Errol Flynn The Sea Hawk is an exciting and romantic adventure set during the time of Queen Elizabeth of England, as Spain tried to plant its flag everywhere on the map. It is grand entertainment, handsomely photographed by Sol Polito and with a rousing score from Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Directed with panache by director Michael Curtiz, a dashing Errol Flynn displaying derring-do and lovely Brenda Marshall offering romance, it is one of the finest swashbucklers ever filmed. Flynn and Tyrone Power took turns in this heroic genre, each having some shining moments. No one ever really replaced Douglas Fairbanks at this sort of thing, but no one ever tried harder than Errol Flynn. Not as good an actor as Power or Fairbanks, he had an athleticism and charm which made him perfect for this genre, however. He had been kicking around the studio going nowhere when Carole Lombard took a liking to him, inviting him to one of her famous parties at an amusement park, where he charmed the pants off every woman there and caused studio bosses to suddenly take notice of him; realizing he might have something after all. The rest is history, as they say. Flynn would never win any awards, but audiences ate him up, making him a huge star at WB, where he made some of the most entertaining swashbucklers of the era. The Sea Hawk is a sparkling example. Everything is perfect in this film, from the lush black and white and sepia photography to a stellar cast, including Flora Robson as a terrific Queen, smart and with just a bit of a crush on pirate Geoffrey Thorpe (Flynn) who wants nothing more than to help his Queen, and keep England safe from Spanish greed. Of course, if he and his band of pirates profit more than just a little by slowing their progress, just as well. His ship is the Albatross, and the Sea Hawks are all that stand between England and Spain's King Philip, who is secretly preparing an armada to conquer England. Though the Sea Hawks are not officially backed by the Queen, her soft spot for Thorpe's good intentions and his loyalty to her leads to court intrigue as Elizabeth must deal with a crafty and very disloyal Lord Wolfingham (Henry Daniell), who is in league with Spanish Ambassador de Cordoba (Claude Rains). Complicating matters is Cordoba's beautiful daughter, part English Dona Maria (Brenda Marshall), who warms to the pirate and falls in love. A secret mission given an unofficial nod from his Queen proves to be a trap, and before Thorpe and his crew can save England from Spain's treachery he will improvise a daring escape from the galley of a Spanish ship, romance Dona, and cross swords with Wolfingham. An exciting finish laced with romance makes everyone happy. Marshall is quite lovely and makes a fine heroine despite what some say, and Robson is fantastic as Queen Elizabeth, giving her life and humor. Flynn is a grand hero, and this film is perfect for what he had to offer as a star. The sepia-tone portion of the film harkens back to silent films as does the presence of Donald Crisp as the Queen's loyal advisor. Rarely has something set in 1585 been this exciting! A lush romantic glow of ships sailing away by moonlight while a teary Brenda Marshall watches longingly blend perfectly with an exciting screenplay by Howard Koch and Seton Miller and the heroic deeds of charmer Flynn in one of his finest moments. A must see for fans of this genre.
