Forgive my skepticism, but how do you know (good to hear tho).

And now we're smack dab in the thick of the CBS runs "mutant of the week" type episodes. I wonder if I could sit through some of those now. Honestly the thought of even watching them again creeps me out.

Why because you're smack dab in the middle of greatness?
I'm happy we're finally past all those damn omgz! lets get fule for the drome! episodes good lord thats sooo repetative.:lol:

I'm so glad they are releasing the classic cartoon as season sets now, and atleast making an attempt to collect the 2003 toon in a more reasonable manner than the volumes we had to deal with until recently.

At least they actually were capable of good reference humour, subtle context, and generally faster and more urgent plotting.

Well I just happen to like having new character all the time over say the same people every single week doing the same tired thing over and over again.
Funny or no funny. I just happen to think what cbs did with the series happend to be better than what we had weekdays on fox here in pittsburgh growing up the animation was also allot better while the weekday afternoon episodes look suffered because they where being pumped out so quickly.
I like the entire friggin series I don't see why people always have to diss one part of it I hate getting caught up in this crap.
This is the last time I'm gonna say anything about one thing being better than the next because I love it all from start to finish.

Wow... That's just two many mistakes for me to ignore. :P Season four aired on CBS in the Fall of 1990. Also, "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS" was actually premiered during the beginning of season five, so...

O_O >_< That's why everyone wanted to see Turtleoids on it! I can't believe I never noticed before. Well... Since Molly Bode's guide is so twisted and backwards, they were bound to be left off.

Anyway, I remember seeing TURTLEOIDS on primetime on CBS at least one more time, possibly a year later. And, USA Networks' Cartoon Express reran it too (that was the only CBS ep they were allowed).
I'm calling in a few weeks to voice our concerns. But, since the season set it rightfully belonged to already came and went without it, would it be a really big deal if it was delayed to the season seven set? O_o My reasoning is this: since season five didn't include it, not only will it be singled-out as the only syndicated ep on the set, it'll also leave an even worse taste in your mouth because it's not on the set it belongs with. At least on season seven, it could share some of the credit for being inferior with the 13 Euro-Cruise eps that weren't even good enough to be syndicated. :P I know it's silly, but it fits, right?

Ooops, I meant season five, typo there....1991 season is what I meant. I must have missed the re-airing in primetime. I did see it re-air once in syndication on a sunday morning about a year or two later. But anyway...I was a crazy guy who used to keep track of every episode USA aired. They aired plenty of CBS episodes in their run (towards the end they even aired season 7)...In fact that is how I recorded many of the CBS eps I was missing from season 4. I recorded the show every day to get eps I missed and I never once saw "Turtleoids" aired in two parts. I actually ended up buying the vhs because USA never aired it. Now that I hear it aired, I wonder how I missed it.

Well, the second (and last, I think) primetime showing on CBS was one of those unadvertised surprise things that I just stumbled onto. I actually rarely watched Turtles on USA. So, I guess I just stopped watching before they got any other CBS eps. All I do remember is that I turned on Cartoon Express one morning to see TURTLEOIDS. I remember thinking "I guess that's the only CBS ep they're allowed to show since CBS won't rerun it themselves while people are watching". While it was normally a block of two TMNT eps, I want to say that I saw it on a weekday.

Actually USA Cartoon Express aired Seasons 1-7. I saw a lot of season 6 & 7 on it back in the day. I also have recordings from it of various many later episodes like Michaelangelo Meets Mondo Gecko and Nightmare in the Lair.

I work at a retail store and see that we get tons of old toon DVDs regularly. They are featured on the feature wall*Rare for cartoon series usually* and when I walk by the turtles section we always have at least 2 of every volume. The new toon DVDs sit around and we still have the first volume FF DVDs that came in, which we only got 4 of and I bought 1 of them. Same with the Season One set.

Can't wait to get Season 5 today:D

The interviews are really really good in this set. :D not to mention amazing and ingenious box art. Very well done! If an episode list were provided, it would be perfecto!

The way the box was made for this set is hands down the best dvd box set design EVER!:o

Can someone post pics of the box? I've heard good things but I wont beable to see this one myself for a while.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned, and I was very excited about it when I saw, I think people might like to know that

Dude, they skipped Once Upon a Time Machine, wtf. Good Box design though and I liked the interview with all four turtles. The Baxter one was pathetic though, was there even a point to include it?

Epic music?

Posted this link in the other thread, but I thought I'd put it here since you asked. Enjoy.

Bought it earlier today

I really dig the packaging, I've never seen anything like it

Is there an episode list that I missed or was one not included?

The interviews with the 4 turtles simply rocked, very awesome guys. I was surprised about the Baxter one, seemed kinda pointless lol.

No, the Season Sets of Classic TMNT (the previous Season 4, and now Season 5) don't have episode listings.

k thanks. good to know i didn't miss anything. though I'm sure someone out there is keeping track of which episodes made it to DVD :P

Yeah, they skipped Once Upon a Time Machine and neither Turtleoid episode was included. Thank god I still have my official VHS. This time the episode order didn't follow the Molly Bode guide either. I was very suprised about that. Although we all know how wrong that guide is, if they started out by using it, I think they should finish the series using it. It just makes more sense that way.

Yep. Infact, I am :D

And another board member listed the episodes on this Season 5 Set in another post in this thread.

Thanks. :D

Checking another site, and found that the Season 5 DVD's episode set-up follows TV.com's listing for Season 5 (though that leads to another problem -- as their listing has "Turtles and the Hare", "Once Upon a Time Machine" and "Planet of the Turtloids" 2-Parter all listed under Season 4).

Uh, anyone else kind of see a HUGE problem with that considering Season 4 is already available to buy. I think it's time to raise hell against Liongates.

Don't raise hell, just send them a civil letter or somthing.

Considering Season 6 only has 16 episodes, we're probably going to get the Turtleoids 2-parter at the beginning of that set.

As for the Hokum ep, they seem to have forgot about it.

I wouldn't be pissed about this if it weren't for Bebop and Rocksteady wearing bunny suits :lol:

I wonder if we'll get a third season set this year for christmas. Since we aren't doing volumes anymore we can't assume they will.

I really hope they don't forget the Hokum episode as I actually liked him. When I read the sypnosis it sounded a stupid goofy episode but I actually enjoyed it when I watched it when S4 came out.:D

Bought it, but Haven't watched any of it yet

How are the episodes?

You're in luck then as I disliked the second and (thankfully) last Hokum ep least. I'll call LionsGate in a week to bring all the skipped episodes to their attention (in case they do plan on another release so soon).

As I said, I don't believe Season 6 will come any earlier than around November/December for Christmas time, so there's plenty of time for the fans to notify them about which episodes need to be on the next disc.

I'm pretty happy with Lionsgate overall though. Not only did we get three huge seasons in a single year, (this is of course assuming we do get Season 6 by the end of the year, and I see no reason why we wouldn't), but they actually started giving us real special features and interviews with the voice actors.

They did the TMNT, Shredder and Krang...but we haven't had interviews with Splinter or April's VA yet. I hope they get done on the Season 6 set!

I contacted Lionsgate and mentioned about the skipped episodes. I'll wait to see if I ever get a response from them.

Just watched Donatello's Badd Time, pretty bad episode, plust the audio seemed a bit off (mainly the voices). Was that Townsend Coleman doing Sensei? he actually did a fair job.

haha I noticed that as well I fell asleep watching that episode lastnight.
I only hate that episode because cbs would re-run it like a billion times when it was still on the air. oi!
And you know it's funny I always said Don sounded jewish and it's funny to see his voice actor after all these years and realize well hell he is hahah:lol:

Lmao, my mom pointed that out to me a while ago :lol:

I just watched the Mondo Gecko episode, I really liked how they handled him. Does he appear in any more episodes in the series?
