Next original series DVD - Page 2

*MrPliggins* · 05-13-2005, 09:17 PM

Agh, sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. I just thought they might be in season 4 because chronologically, that is where they take place, right after "Plan Six From Outer Space".
Anyway , I was half kidding with that statement. I don't really want them to leave eps out, I never really liked these eps though. Some of them are my least favorite episodes of the series. "elementary my dear turtle" and "northern lights out" come to mind. Though I did like some of them too.
And yeah, I agree many of the season 4 episodes are not very good. This is when it started on Saturday mornings, too, and they changed Mike's weapon and toned the entire show down.

They should definitely just have the European vacation eps in the season 4 eps. It would just make much more sense that way, know what I mean? Someone e-mail lion gates about a possible season 3 DVD, I wanna know!

I really don't think we will know for some time, they will probably make the decision based on how many Season 2 dvd's are sold. If Season 2 doesn't sell as well as they want, they will not make Season 3. If it sells well, or better then they thought, a Season 3 should be in the works, not only that, but maybe they will spend more time, and include extras.

I'm getting a little tired of all the little digs that are being made at certain seasons

. I reconise that the tone of the series changed a bit after season four, but they were other things in those seasons that made up for them.

And the European episodes should definatly go with season seven even though it was orginally suposed to be shown in season four. That was a good arc. i wonder if they got the idea for them from the Archie comics?

*MrPliggins* · 05-14-2005, 05:41 AM

Well one thing that stayed pretty consistent throughout the series was the humor. Sure they toned the fighting down in later seasons but at least it was still funny (until season 8 when they changed it to red sky). The animation quality seemed to fluctuate too.
As for the European episodes, I'd rather have chronological than airing order. These actually were shown during the fourth season in other countries (correct me if i'm wrong).

Regardless of the fact that the episode guide is wrong and all of them say copyright 1992? hmm
Also, according to Library of Congress, they were first aired in the US, in November of 1992 on the USA Network; now if you can please explain to me how that's in the 1993 season? I'd like to hear it, honestly I would.

*Sage Ninja* · 05-14-2005, 11:29 PM

why did the euroupean episodes get cut out until season seven instead of being showed in season four?

*MrPliggins* · 05-15-2005, 03:03 PM

I think they were made exclusively for overseas. When USA network acquired the rights to the Turtles show in 1992 or 93, they also acquired the rights to the Europe episodes and decided to show them as brand new episodes. Though they did edit 2-3 minutes out of each episode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think they ever showed these episodes uncut in the United States.

*Deathknight* · 05-15-2005, 05:06 PM

That's correct, unless you somehow got YTV. If anyone has an Amex credit card, you can buy the official vcds (yes there is such thing as official VCDS, they sell them mainly in Europe and Asia) of the euro vacation eps for $7.99 each (each vcd contains 2 eps and they're HQ, not DVD but still very good) at this site I found.

Aside from "Technodrome Displaced" and the Turtolids storylines...nothing much else really, and I'm a HUGE Fan of the original series.

It's perfectly fine to say a season or two sucked, so long as it redeems itself later, TMNT did that, other shows (Roseanne, The Simpsons) are not so fortunate sometimes.

Do you think that when they come out on dvd that the episodes will be unedited. I sure hope so. And what exactly was edited out? Was it stuff the would be unipriate to American audiance ( totally hypicritical considering that the have a show with a singing talking piece of sh** featured in one of there shows) or was extra footage edited to fit in more commercial time?

*MrPliggins* · 05-15-2005, 11:32 PM

I'm pretty sure they'll be unedited on the dvds. I don't know what was edited out, but the only reason they edited the episodes was because they edited all the tmnt episodes (and all their cartoon shows) in order to show more commercials or animated skits...I remember there was one skit which featured monsters and was shown on every commercial break. Most channels that show syndicated reruns in the US edit the shows for time, sadly.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that they called it volumes 1 and two because they didn's want people to feel ripped off, having season one being five or six and season 2 being 13 episodes, and then having season 3 be forty something. I don't think releaseing it in separate parts was what they meant at all by calling them by volumes.
