TMNT Season 4 - 40 episodes, 5 discs
 
Instead of releasing another volume, Lionsgate will be releasing a five-disc set of the next forty episodes. Wow. And it's release date has been set to coincide with the new CGI movie: March 13th 2007.

Lionsgate really wants these releases to stand out, don't they? This one seems packaged a little like those Simpsons sets, based on the cover image. :P

DrSpengler 12-19-2006 09:29 PM

HOT DIGGITY!!!

I was gonna quit after season 3, but that was because I didn't want to wait two years or more for the whole thing.

But all at once? And for $30 bucks?

Sign me up!

Wow nice find, Anyone think there is hope for the other releases to get repackaged as deluxe sets?

Deathknight 12-19-2006 09:45 PM

Dude, friggen AWESOME. Only one small regret and that's that they're skipping the European vacation episodes until season 7 I guess. Still, I can't friggen wait, this is soooo awesome. Though look at that cover, identical to the cover of volume 5 only Raph isn't hold his sai. Man, they're so lazy.

Blade Raider 12-19-2006 10:22 PM

Awsome, can't wait to add it to my Childhood Memories DVD Collection :P

Also, like to point out that Season/Year 4 is only has 38 episodes and one of them is on volume 6. So maybe it will go as far as the first 2-3 episodes of Season/Year 5.

PLUS it looks like he's jacking off.

Yeah the cover absolutely sucks, but what else is new, they've sucked since season 2 and on.

But the price is right, and it's nice to get them all at once so I don't have to remind myself everytime a new old school dvd releases.

Still I'm way behind on watching... I gotta catch up, maybe over the break.

I'm not sure about future releases being in this format. If it works for them I think they'll continue it, but I have a feeling that they only did this because the movie and they think season sets will sell better now that the turtle's popularity will be back up.

not to be repetitive but

Pros:
the entire season on one release at a great price :D

cons:
probably no european vacation
the cover is a rehash, at least let it be new bad cover art


counting all the other seasons have really odd episode count i wonder how the other releases will go, it'll be easier to speculate when we know soon what 40 episodes will be included.
They hopefully release another full "season" in time for the new movie DVD as well.

Wish the new toon would take notice of this 'cashing in' on the new movie.

its a 5 disc set so will we get 8 episodes per disc (making them have better quality), or maybe we will get some kind of extras :D

This would be the 1990 season when they were on Saturday morning for 60 minutes.

Oh man, March will be an expensive month in terms of TMNT stuff--this DVD set, the new comic books, tickets to the movie.

gobo 12-20-2006 01:02 AM

:o So awesome... Can't wait... @_@

gobo 12-20-2006 10:24 AM

On Molly Bode's guide at NinjaTurtles.com, there are forty 'episode numbers' for the 1990 'season'. However, one of those episodes was on the last DVD, and one of them is a number that has no episode. Since it seems they're not straying much from Molly's guide, I can see them substituting in the Hokum Hare eps (being the first two in the following 'season' and also the last of the syndicated eps [Euro Cruise was technically a USA Network exclusive]). Regardless, 14 syndicated and 26 CBS eps is what I'm expecting. For the Euro Cruise release, I guess we just need to lobby for Lion's Gate to release it separately from the rest of the '93 eps (so us sticklers can choose what order to put it on our shelf). But, since it's only a 27-ep year, I'm not holding my breath. Lion's Gate will most likely do what they want, and once they get into economy packing like this, it'll be hard convincing them to break this 'season' in two. Still, I can hardly wait for March... :thyper: This is gonna be like the '90s all over again! Y'know, when TMNT merch was unavoidable. ^_^

Wow this is great. Much better deal than the volumes.

Raph does look like hes jacking off

CyberCubed 12-20-2006 03:15 PM

Huzzah! Anyone else excited of the thought of Volume 8 including BOTH Season 5 and 6?

Awesome. At this rate they can actually finish releasing the entire original series on DVD by Christmas '07. (especially since Season's 8, 9 and 10 only had 8 eps each...I assume the Season 10 eps on the first DVD will be "re-released" in their proper order)

mikey2007 12-20-2006 04:03 PM

well atleast they are releasing them at once, and faster everytime now with more(with the new box set) i'm just excited that i get to watch them on dvd, cuz i already got them all, but in better quality than all the episodes i have of them now, where they have either subtitles or from video tapes

Krangstein 12-20-2006 04:56 PM

How can there be 40 episodes? There are only 39 episodes of season 4 and the first episode was released on vol. 6? Or are they releasing the first 2 episodes of season 5? that would make sense since those 2 episodes were made for season 4.

LogicDonny 12-20-2006 05:31 PM

Wlel I am just happy season 4 is getting a complete season thing instead of parts.. I am tired of waiting for the next batch.. Didn't think it would be like this.

As Gobo said, they're probably going to include the first two eps of Season 5 on it, which would be both "Hokum Hare" episodes.

sdp 12-20-2006 05:50 PM

we probably won't know for a month or so, and knowing Lionsgates it can be pretty much anything they haven't been consistant at all.

I hope other releases are seasons too, technically only season 3 was separated in volumes. even if they go to volumes after this i'd be ok since they at least sped up the release of another huge season. im very excited.

i used to defend their covers but man i can't do it anymore, as long as they release the entire show i'll be fine.

Roseangelo 12-20-2006 06:05 PM

I'm glad they're releasing a huge set like this. Yeah, their releases haven't been the best, but so long as they eventually release every single episode and I can finally throw out all of my old VHS tapes... I shall be happy.

Krangstein 12-20-2006 08:12 PM

It says 4 discs, not 5 discs though... but on the cover it says 5 discs
