4Kids 'Toon
Get the Season 1&2 Parts 1&2 for full-length episodes. On multi-part eps, the intros were removed from Part Two and beyond on the initial 'volume' releases. The only reason to track down the individual volumes is if you want to collect all the extras. Those can be found on Volume 1-8 & 14. For Season 3&4, you have no alternative. get the individual volumes: "Michelangelo's Christmas Rescue" if you want Season Three's Christmas Special (based on Michaelangelo #1), 3.1 to 3.7 (often referred to as Volume 15 to 21), the 2-Disc "Season 4" compilation, the "Ninja Tribunal" release (Season Five) and two half-season sets of Fast Forward. Currently, there is no release for 'Back to the Sewer' or 'Turtles Forever' even planned. However, all these DVDs were produced by Funimation and have been discontinued. It's now Nickelodeon's decision to rerelease any of them, and they don't do a great job of seeing to it that their older cartoons get released on DVD. As it is, you can only find Doug at Amazon and nowhere else. So, I'd snatch 'em all up before they're gone indefinitely if I were you.
