Inspector Gadget back on DVD... sort of...

Of course, Fox can go and stick themselves with a Go Go Gadget red hot poker. 3 episode DVD's?!?! Yahoo. That's soooo much better than putting them into actual collections, since the only people who would want it aren't ADD 4 year olds.

Still better than nothing.

3 episode DVD sets... cry eye. Are they trying to rush DVD's into extinction or something.

Saw this too. Is good the series has another DVD, but like you note would be better if Fox had continued with Sets (and continued from where Shout left off).

I think that this pretty much confirms we'll never see the complete series on official DVD. Then again, the DVD transfers weren't any better than what you might see on fan-ripped VHS.

Now I'm going to go and beat people to the punch...

Someone is bound to ask "What if these are Test the waters releases?" But then again, that's what they always say. And most of the time, they really aren't.

I can see 1 of 2 things happening.

1: Fans contact Fox suggesting a complete release set. Fox tells fans to slag off because it's a "Kid's show" (Sony's The Real Ghostbusters release)

2: They indeed are something to test the waters, but they don't sell (since 10 bucks for 3 lousy episodes, and no features... who's gonna pay that?) and we only get one lousy 3 episode volume. (Disney's Goof Troop release)

Seriously. If:

...Lions gate can get 12-13 episodes of TMNT on one disk, and release it for 10 bucks, Fox can put at least 6 episodes on one disk.

...BCI can release the entire ultra-obscure series "Hero High" (which is only on the map because it sometimes featured Captain Marvel) and find it profitable, FOX can release one full set of episodes.

but hey, nothing's better than out of order second season episodes with a random season one episode thrown in, am I right? Who do they intend to attract with these? They're clearly intended for little kids, and I'm not sure anyone under 15 even knows or cares about who Inspector Gadget is, and adult fans are in their 20's and 30's. They want full sets of everything.

Cover art (http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Inspector-Gadget-Big-Little-Problems/9160). Very Lazy cover art made of stock footage at that. At least they mention it's the show's 25th anniversary.

Sigh, I feel like crying.

Then you will (feel like doing so) even more now. Seems the DVD has been pulled from Fox's schedule--

Meh, I don't care. I doubt I was going to bother buying it anyway. This could have some top secret good news behind it. I really want to belive they got actual complaints about it and are actually looking into a box set. Seems doubtful, but it would be great if they realized that no one under the age of 18 even cares who Gadget is.

yea wished the series would have had a big batter and dr claws face could have been seen or gadget could have gotten smart enough to know whats going on to know what hes up against.
