It's a good thing I bought all the DVDs as they came out minus "Back to the Sewer" but I feel for those that didn't. What a terrible way to handle this awesome series. How hard is it to release proper DVDs for this? I shudder to think how they'll handle "Back to the Sewer" whenever they get around to releasing that... and three episodes per disc?! Really?! That's beyond pathetic.

There may be one small small small silver lining to this... maybe these DVDs won't have that annoying "TV-Y7" rating at the top of each episode.

It may have taken Lionsgate a million years to release the entire original cartoon on DVD, (they started in 2004 and didn't finish till 2012 for goodness sakes), but at least that series is complete and most of the episodes are in order except for a few.
The 4kids series can never get a decent release though. |

It took Lionsgate the lifespan of two TMNT reboots to complete the original toon on DVD. I remember sitting there for years wondering if they would cancel it in the middle. |

I'm certainly saying the same to myself, that's for sure... I can't imagine how folks feel that don't already have the series. Even 4kids' crappiest releases are better than this seems to be. Glad as hell I've got the season sets & stuff rather than these BS 3 episode joints they kept doing.

Funnily enough I had all the 4kids season sets too but then when I realized one DVD would sell for $60 on ebay that had a measly 5 episodes on it, I sold them all.
I have all the episodes saved on my computer when I want to rewatch them, but I would like to own them on physical DVDs again. |

But yeah, this is crap, and nobody should buy it, BUT, if nobody does, Nick will inevitably claim "There's no interest", and they'll just sit on it forever. So, we're stuck. Either everyone buys two copies of this insulting trash, or we can forget ever seeing a "proper" release. Every year, I find more and more reasons why Nick buying TMNT was an awful idea. It's getting really hard to justify at this point. It's great for Nick and lousy for everyone else. ----------------------------------------- And I'll chime in on behalf of people with less-than-stellar internet connections who don't care about watching TV shows on YouTube. My connection cuts out randomly for indeterminate periods of time. I can't be bothered with that mess. Really glad I used to haunt Best Buy every three days way back when. They'd only ever have like three copies of the latest TMNT and they'd disappear immediately. I used to get cash tips a lot, and would immediately blow them on DVDs and video games, so I'd always get lucky and get the TMNT ones before they vanished. Once they were gone, I rarely saw them on the shelves again. I was lucky, I only really missed the 2-part Season sets. I don't think anyone had any idea that we'd get so screwed over on future releases. Real shame.

Not true, actually. Disney is usually pretty good about releasing full seasons of shows, though it may take a while *cough, Gargoyles, cough* Tail-Spin, Duck Tales, and Rescue Rangers have all had full-season releases, or at least half-season ones. They have plenty of episodes to justify a 10$ price tag, so I don't mind getting the ones that I like. Still waiting for the Goliath Chronicles to be released, but, it is what it is.

Gargoyles is Disney's bastard stepchild - we'll be waiting years for The Goliath Chronicles; just look at how long it took to get Seasons 1 and 2! Forget actually having any decent merchandise... it's the best show Disney ever had and they act like it never existed. It's such a crock.

These DVDs are only to cash-in on the fans of the new show and will likely be 5 dollar or so budget releases, this isn't the early 00's where you could get away with a $25 DVD with 3 episodes. DVD is a dying format. I'm sure eventually we'll get some complete series release or some decent DVD releases.
Sadly even a complete series set wouldn't the things I'd want the most which are the "mini" flash episodes of the first few seasons and the "mini" story arc from BTTS, they weren't great but they had some funny moments and had the original voice actors and technically canon. I'd also like to see the original animated pieces made for the 2k3 videogames. Quote:
Physical media has what benefits over digital? You can sell it (ha! tell that to my DVD collection that no one would buy). It's something physical you can touh and display. Everything else is a worse experience compared to digital. I do like having some of my favorite movies in physical format but just to display them. I have what, ten Blu-rays and that's it I don't want any more. These are movies I love and like having displayed and watch somewhat regularly. My DVD collection was full of movies and shows I'd only seen once, sure maybe one day I'd like to revisit them but I don't need that taking physical space if I won't be watching it regularly it might be years before I watch them. And TV shows while I may love them DVD sets just take too much space, I'd now rather have all of 2k3 digitally over a complete DVD release. I love the show but I don't plan on watching it again anytime soon to be taking up precious space. |

Unlike the whole lot of you, I'm buying them. These DVDs are definately made to test the waters more. I don't think they will cost more than $5-10 tops; the type of DVDs you'll find near the cash registers.
I'm willing to bet by next year, IF these sell well, we will find season releases. |

Buy one each on behalf of me and my wife. We're running out of Useless Crap Space, but still want Season sets one day. Good luck with the Crusade, Don Quixote!
