OT TMNT DVD's: Episodes Out of Order

Gyt Kaliba · 10-01-2015, 08:33 PM

So, I just recently placed an Amazon order for the Ultimate Visual History book (still waiting on it to come in though), and to pad out the order a bit more, I also finally got copies of Seasons Four through Six of the OT series (leaving only Season Seven for me to get and I'll have it all). I was already aware about some episodes being out of order from reading up on it a bit, and from some of the other DVD's I already had, but...man...that was just the tip of the iceberg.

I mean, some season sets having the first episode of the following season as their last episode, or skipping episodes out right and later putting them on a later set, those are both one thing. But what I've just figured out just from looking at Season Five alone is...something else entirely. Over it's three discs, it has the episodes on it's discs in this order - 105/116/107/109/113/108/111/118/112/117/122/114/120/119/115/121/123/124. A similar thing ends up to a lesser degree for the second disc of Season Six, with episodes appearing as this - 135/136/137/142/140/138/141/139.

My question is...how in the heck does something like that even happen? I mean, it's not like the series has the greatest continuity between episodes in the first place, so I suppose episodes being out of order really isn't too big of a deal for more casual fans, but still. For them to be in that bad of a cluster, it almost seems like someone would have had to organize them that way on purpose or something, which would be even more bizarre.

So yeah, has anything official ever been said about how in the heck they ended up in such a mess, especially on those two sets?
