And a cheap one at that... compared to th 100-200 dollar price tags most complete series have, it's only 60 bucks....

Damn I was gonna b1tch about buying the first season set and how they're pulling a Fraggle Rock on this set.
But at $60.00 whatever F%ck the first season set I'll just buy this now.
Now if only Cartoon Network would get off it's @ss and release the rest of Fosters.:evil:

If only Cartoon network would get off its ass and release Dexter and the rest... Seems that other than Ben 10, they aren't even trying with season sets anymore. There will be a Chowder volume based release... that's about all I know.
I really hope this is successful enough to release other shows like this. I mean, PPG DID pretty much put CN on the map, but they forgot Dexter and Johnny Bravo... their 2 other big first hits.
And I hope this also gets them to rerelease the PPG movie with a Widescreen format. In full frame, we lose a cameo by Master Shake... or so I'm told...

I am so happy right now
In as much as Dexter's Lab is older than PPG, it'll be a few more years before it can use the anniversary excuse, right? :ohwell: Dexter's, Johnny Bravo and PPG were my fave CN originals, so I really hope those other two get released in something other than freakin' compilations in the near future...
In full frame, we lose a cameo by Master Shake... or so I'm told...
I remember when I saw this in theaters that I saw something black & orange, and immediately wondered if that was supposed to be the ATHF logo. Then, when I got home, I find everyone on the internet all a chatter about the ATHF cross-promotion on the PPG movie. So, as far as I know, that glimpse of the logo was the extent of it.

Wasn't "Cow and Chicken" one of CN orginals too? I really wish they would release that. My love for Cow and Chicken was like a dirty little secret I had back then. I watched it constantly but only when one else was around. I got way more amusment out of that than I think was proper.
The Ren & Stimpy knockoff? Yeah, that was a CN original. Maybe you should have kept that dirty little secret a secret still. *turns his nose up @ u*

Banned.
(I liked that show too... I loved most of the CN originals)

hahahahahahaha that's exactly how I felt about that show also:lol:

We must have been watching a differnt cartoon then.

Didn't say it was a ripoff (though I guess "knockoff" has pretty much the same definition). But, 'Cow & Chicken' was clearly 'modeled' after 'Ren & Stimpy'. I somehow imagine the director would cite Ren & Stimpy as his biggest influence.

Wow it's been 10 years already. :o That was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, I can't WAIT to get this. Now if only they would release Johnny Bravo, my dad loved that show.

Whoo Hoo! I can't wait for this to come out. I'm so getting it as soon as I can. Hopefully when this does come out, I'll have a job and will be able to pay for it. Or, I can always ask my mom to get it for me for Christmas or my birthday. Any info on when it's gonna be released? I can't open up that link. I'm so telling my mom about this today.
Oh, and I also loved Cow and Chicken. I thought it was funny, and I do a pretty good imitation of Cow. Yep, I'm a dork.
The release date is Jan. 20th.

Artistically? Not even then. In fact, I heard that David Feiss is one of John K's friends or something. At least a profile of him is on the "Lost season" or Ren and Stimpy set. Cow and Chicken was a brilliantly stupid show, though I tend to prefer I M Weasel a little more. But any of those great old CN originals... and some of the recently canceled stuff really needs to get more of a nod.
(At least in the US... Australia has a lot of CN release by a company named "Madman entertainment" I know they have Courage and some others... I think they also have PPG).
But this is a great step, I think. I still want to see Dexter or Johnny at some point on DVD... collections or seasons...
Yeah, would also like those CN Original Series released.
Another that would be great is the World Premier Toons/What-A-Cartoon Show stuff.
With great shorts like Captain Buzz Cheaply, O'Ratz, and Yucky Duck to name a few.

That's a crusade for another decade. ^_^ If WHV is too stingy to put any Cartoon Cartoons on DVD in non-compilations... But, after they see how well The Complete PPG Series sells, we just might get so lucky.

I don't think Cow and Chicken was any where near the insanities Ren and Stimpy where. Looking back now, I realise all the double meaning and f-ed up content Ren and Stimpy had.
I liked I Am Weasal better than Cow and Chicken. I loved the Power Puff Girls. Quickly every one, who was your favorite Power Puff Girl?

Girls... what ever... the real stars of the show were the villains, I think. Mojo Jojo, the monkey who talks like he's in a perpetual 1950's English dub of a Japanese movie... Fuzzy Lumpkins and his meat fetish... The Gangreen Gang... the Amoeba boys... hillairous satirical stuff.
And of course, one of my favorite episodes... the one where Him wants the girls to solve a myriad of riddles, or the Professor will pay.... which ends with the best closing line ever:
"And so... the day is...uh...yeah..."

That's pretty cool. I feel sorry for the folks that bought the season 1 set, but $60 bucks is a great deal (the article doesn't say, but I presume this set also features the Whoop Ass Girls pilot and the two What a Cartoon! episodes, right?).
On a related note, anybody else check out the horrendous English dub of Power Puff Girls Z? The show was terrible to begin with, but I was hoping that the English dub would reunite the cast of the original series and maybe even be a self-parody (which could have been hilarious).
Nope. Cartoon Network cheaped out and outsourced all the voice acting with Canadian soundalikes. The script plays the whole thing straight, too. Very disappointing.

No, but thanks for letting me know I should avoid it. From the little I had seen of the fansubs, it looked too melodramatic for me, but I hoped they'd fix that if/when they dubbed it. :ohwell:

I've only seen the Japanese PPGZ, didn't even know they dubbed it.

Buttercup. To me she was just awsome and I still think she is. 8) And as for PPGZ, I thought they did an English dub, but I thought they only aired it in Sinapore or something 'cause I haven't seen or heard anything. :-?
Edit: Ok so its actually the Philippians and the dub....yeah it doesn't seem the best. X_X

I totally agree Fuzzy & Him are my fave characters of the PPG.

1. F*ck Blossom, seriously.
2. The anime PPG pisses me off so bad. The Powerpuff Girls were unique because they could save the day by themselves, without weapons... F*ck you, anime!
F*CK EVERYONE AM I RIGHT
I actually liked the anime better.
Just kidding, f*ck that sh*t.

Indeed you are, I watched one episode of that sh1t on youtube and was like wtf is this rubbish, I seriously couldn't believe what they did to the show.:dead:

My favorite PPG is Bubbles. I like he because she's cute and very bubbly, just like me. I see a lot of myself in Bubbles, so that's why I like her so much. However, the villains were awesome too. There were many great ones.
I had heard of this PPGZ, but I have never seen it. Have they dubbed it in the U.S. yet? If so, I might check it out, but I'm sure it's nothing like the original and never will be.
Jon, thanks for the release info. I'll make a note of that.

Ugh... PPGZ was supposed to be a parody of the "Magic Girl" Sailor Moon/Tokyo Mew Mew type shows... but it didn't look like a parody to me. A Parody is when you at least knowledge the stereotypes and conventions of a certain genre or product. If anything, it's so subtle, it tends to blend in with the others, rather than poke fun at them.
Jeez... and making it look like an anime, when PPG borrows cues from anime all the time? Bah! Balderdash!

I orignally heard that the Professor was going to be a little kid in this one, but they changed it so that it's his son. Does that mean he and Keane got married? I always thought they'd be cute together. Maybe she got rid of the cat so they could get together.
One of my favorite ending narration lines was at the end of "Los Dos Mojos."
Narrator: And so, the day is saved, thanks to Mojo Bubbles-I mean, the Powerpuff-Ah, heck, the day was saved. So says me, the Narrator. So called because I narrate the story. I create the plot. I begin and end each episode of Powerpuff Girls. Me, the Narrator."
Although I did like the one in "Him Diddle Riddle" and the fact that Him bet the Professor a free breakfast. That just cracked me up.

sweet. I think my favorite bad guys where Mojo Jo Jo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins (Get off of my Property!) and I forget the name of this villan but she had movable hair and could attack people with it. She disguised her self Ms. Belium once.
My favorite none villan characters where the mayor, and Miss Belium. :)
*Sage*
The villain you're trying to recall is Sedusa.
I also liked Mojo Jojo.
BubblyShell22
10-03-2008, 08:22 AM
Yes, Sedusa was cool. I also liked Femme Fatale, the one who wanted Susan B. Anthony coins to steal. And, of course, the Amoeba Boys were entertaining as well.
