193 episodes

[Silent FOx]

Are the 193 episode dvds floating around ebay legal or not?

[Demonfox38]

No. I think a lot of people do something similiar to this, where they download episodes off of the Internet, BitTorrent, etc, and place it on a DVD. I doubt the quality would be any good on it, not to mention what sort of weird 'stuff' someone could have on it. (I doubt you can put a virus on a DVD, but I don't trust them.)

You'd be better off avoiding purchasing it.

[Kazari]

No not really. The best way to find them it access mIRC and download them all.

[Silent FOx]

yeah I know about Bittorrent but that file went down.

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

The old cartoon had 196 eps. not 193. But it's an honest mistake.

[Kazari]

No not with bit torrent I am talking about actually connecting to mIRC and downloading them from someone on there. Are you familiar with the mIRC set up?

[ZariusTwo]

Are we even supposed to be DISCUSSING illegal episode downloads?

[Kazari]

LOL So true :P Hmm maybe lock topic? LOL

No, it had 193. There was no episode 77 due to numbering changes, so it's originally 194 but TECHNICALLY it's 193.

Check out the official site.

As for the ebay ones, yeah, I've gotten one of those before but all veiwed on computer. I think for like $17.99 , can't really remember. But it was missing some episodes :evil: like case of the killer pizzas which I loved!

[Kazari]

Yeah ur best bet is to just buy the dvd that came out and wait for them to hopefully put others out on DVD :(

[Silent FOx]

Thanks for the advice everyone. Sorry for brining up something not supposed to be here.

I'm surprised no one is outraged about this, due to all the hoopla about continuity in the new toon that has been thrown around.

[Silent FOx]

outraged about what?

[KROW]

Continuity on the new toon DVD releases.

[Kazari]

It doesn't really bother me about the continuity because I didn't mind seeing Golden Puck on DVD earlier than it should be LOL

[Orochi Chimera]

It would be nice if they were legal commercial DVDs. They just download the episodes and put them on DVD. The video quality is nowhere near DVD quality.

[Kazari]

That's true.

[OA]

Yea, id often wondered about these dvds on ebay...sounded a little too good to be true, so ive never bought any...just gonna wait to see if they come out with anymore official ones...

[Kazari]

honestly i wouldn't buy them.

[MC]

It is a bad idea to buy an illegal product because you can never be sure of the quality.

By the way, the old cartoon only had 193 episodes if you count the hour-long special "Planet Of The Turtleoids" as two seperate episodes. I think, since it was intended to be shown as an hour-long show, it counts as one. In my opinion, there are 192 episodes!

[Deathknight]

No offense but what would possibly make you think they were not pirated? Have you heard of a release of all 193 episodes? Of course not and that's why it's a pirate.

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

I recorded every eps. on tape. So, I don't need those DVD'S.(For now)

[Kazari]

Well I get mine so that way I won't ruin my tapes plus I didnt have all the episodes on tape but they are still bad quality hopefully they will release more old school episodes on DVD.

[That Matt Guy]

I'm too cheap to pay for DVDs.

And just what is the story behind this:

[Deathknight]

That's Shredder in Curse of the Evil Eye if I'm not mistaken. And Jet-ski I'm very jealous, I would do anything for a good quality TMNT set without eps taped off USA.

[JDavis]

The rain coat served as Shredder's disguise. I seem to remember him wearing it in Case of the Killer Pizzas when he and Baxter (pre-mutation, mind you) were walking about in public.

[Kazari]

Didn't he wear it in another episode about the Incredible Shrinking turtles series?

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

That's Shredder in Curse of the Evil Eye if I'm not mistaken. And Jet-ski I'm very jealous, I would do anything for a good quality TMNT set without eps taped off USA.
Sorry. But I don't want to sell my recorded episodes. :evilgrin:

[Deathknight]

I didn't think you did, I'm just jealous.

[KROW]

Shredder did not want to rust. He needed protection. Ergo, he wore a rubber.

[MrPliggins]

I taped all the episodes when they aired too... It was a big hassle to get all the episodes back then...now it's really easy..well, easier.
I haven't looked at my tapes in years...they probably are not as good of quality as they used to be..but better quality than the ones "floating" around....
alot of my old tapes have tracking problems which is the main problem. Now I am curious what kind of quality these are in today..

[Jet-ski_Ninja]

I didn't think you did, I'm just jealous.
I know. I was just joking.

[Orochi Chimera]

Anyone who has decent copies of the show should digitize them/convert them to DVD before the quality degrades any further. If I get a good set that's what I plan to do.

[Deathknight]

my set that I bought off ebay doesn't deserve to be put on DVD. Although a number of the episodes are decent there are plenty that are barely watchable.

Good idea. I'll try to do that one day, oroch.
