Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries FINALLY gets DVD release

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Syl...s-Planned/9633

Granted. While not the best of the Looney Tunes TV series in the 90's - mid 00's era (and with Loonatics and baby looney tunes, certainly not the worst), the announcement of this DVD release seems like it will pave the way for Taz-Mania and maybe even Duck Dodgers (both I do find superior, actually).

And luckily, since it's directly from WB home video, we won't have "Animaniacs" prices (I.e. over 35 bucks a release... sometimes up to 40 depending on where you find it).

So once again, not really the best show they had, but a great sign of things to come.

The show was entertaining if only because it dredged up some uber obscure Looney Tunes characters, like Babbot and Catstello. And the running gag with Cool Cat was great.

But yeah, overall, the show was pretty weak. "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure" was probably the best it ever managed, and that's been on DVD for a few months, now.

Still, it earns a few extra points for having a villain named "Moo Goo Gai Pan".

The beginning of the series was much better, performing one episode per half hour. The 12 minute Mysteries seemed pretty rushed and off. Though there were a couple interesting ones in that period. Like where they go to Russia and meat Elmer Fudd's Russian counterpart (that looks like his earliest design).

I liked High Flying Adventure myself, but bits seemed a little repetitive, and it would have been great to see more cameos (No Porky Pig?) And some of them made no sense. Yosemite Sam as a Cable Car driver? But I loved seeing the group leader of Birds Anonymous as the head of that Tweety worshipping cult.
