My idea for a Planet of the Turtleoids DVD

*CyberCubed* · 03-26-2009, 11:51 AM

After Season 7 comes out, it would be nice if they announced a DVD set that contains the two-part Planet of the Turtleoids, Once upon a Time Machine (maybe even just throw in the first Hokum ep too for the hell of it), and all the Turtle Tip shorts.

Sadly whenever Season 8 comes I doubt they'd put the missing eps on it, so our only hope is for Planet of the Turtleoids gets its own DVD release. With that 2-parter, and the 2-part Hokum eps, and the Turtle Tips shorts, they could release it on DVD for about $9.99 and I'd buy it.

IIRC Murphy said Lionsgate was looking for a way to release more DVD sets considering now they're at a lack of episodes (Seasons 8-10 is only 24 eps together), so a separate release of these skipped eps would give them the extra money they want.

What do you think?

Not a bad idea... I'm willing to bet though that they hold them for the single-disc Season 10 DVD that they might not even make since it seems more reasonable to bundle the last three. But, since they're doing these Season 7 'slices' with six to seven eps a piece, I guess it's not so hard to believe they'll do an eight-ep volume (with only four new-to-DVD eps unless they add the skipped ones).

I think all of Season 10 will be released together, it wouldn't make sense for them to skip eps just 'cause they were put on the first set as bonus eps. They deserve to be put in their proper order with the rest of the season.

Although I imagine Seasons 8-10 will all be released separately at 8 eps per disc.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting they'd leave them off. Just pointing out that these skipped eps would make perfect purchase incentives since half the season was previously released on DVD.

I'd prefer they release the entire series in an special box set that includes those lost episodes and the shorts. That gives us more of a reason to buy it and everyone gets what they want.

I think it should have been an Easter special, given the Hokum content.

Actually, I think the original VHS release of the Hokum episodes was an Easter special.

Right, screw the loyal fans who've bought every season so far even with all the mistakes Lionsgate has made. Sounds to me like saying a big "F U" to us.
