TMNT 1987 Season 9 scheduled for DVD release on August 16th! - Page 6

To be fair Shredder/Krang nearly did kill the Turtles or take over the world in many episodes.

Some eps they were foiled at the last possible minute.

I've been waiting nearly 20 years for a Lord Dregg toy.

A new TMNT comic book series (with Kevin at the helm) AND TMNT OT Season 9 released on DVD at nearly the same time. I'm in Turtle Heaven in 2011!!!

The seasons have all been released properly, and the order is just fine. The Euro eps aired with Season 7 in the US so can't blame them for that.

Sure the cover art could be more accurate but I don't care. And as for remastering the eps I wouldn't expect any other company to do that either.

I am happy Lionsgate did do as many releases as they did and got the seasons done properly with only a few mistakes here and there.

Oh man, so much wrong with that reply it's hard to know where to start:

Tell me something, of the hundreds of released DVD sets over the years, how many do you know that flat out 'forget' episodes, never acknowledge their mistake, or even include them later on when they had MULTIPLE chances to do so? That's a big zero.

Um, do you have different DVD sets than I do? There wasn't a single season released with all the episodes in the PROPER order, except if you count Season 1, which originally Lionsgate was going to f*ck up by releasing it as 'The Saga Begins' until they got reemed out. When I buy a product from a supposedly big name distributor, I expect them to at least do a sliver of research into what they are releasing.

While the cover art inaccuracies is probably the most minor of the complaints, not going back and using the original video sources is plain inexcusable. Essentially EVERY single DVD release nowadays has the company go back and grab new copies. Since this is likely the only time these will be released, I would have expected them to put at least SOME effort into them making look better than a VHS copy.

Seriously, do you work for the PR department at Lionsgate or something?

I can't believe I'm the only one who feels this way, and flaborgasted at how much less you will settle with for something that's apparently really important to you.

I'll agree this is the one bad thing they did. That being said, the fact that only 2 episodes managed to get skipped over is godsend. If they skipped tons of eps that would be a different story.

LOL, wtf? All the following season sets have episodes in proper order:

- Season 1
- Season 2
- Season 3
- Season 4
- Season 8
- Season 9

Episodes in slightly different order based on episode lists but still perfectly fine:

- Seasons 5
- Season 6

Episodes where Euro Vacation eps were included:

- Season 7.

What the hell are you complaining about? I watched Seasons 5 and 6 on the order they were on the DVDs, and nothing mattered. The Euro vacation eps are the only, "majorly out of order" on the sets, but again those eps were always originally aired in a wacked out place.

Most likely when the Season 10 DVD comes out, all 8 episodes will be included in proper order too.

I would have liked them to do remaster versions, but again I don't see any other company making the effort.

I think any other company would have done a much better job than Lionsgate did. Smaller franchises have gotten much better treatment and from smaller companies.

Is this why the 2k3 series actually was messed up in DVD releases?

*sdp* · 05-25-2011, 05:27 PM

2k3 was a currently airing show and most shows that are airing have to put up with the Volume crap/random episodes, its minority that actually get good DVD releases at first if its a kids show. After the show was going off the air they finally got the releases right, they just were unable to continue.

I'm comparing the OT to DVD sets from that era like He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats and releases from companies like Shout! Factory. Those are all much smaller franchises than TMNT and got much better treatment and Lionsgate is a much bigger company than Shout. To Lionsgate the turtle dvds were a quick buck cash-in releasing cheap barebone dvds.

*Redeemer* · 05-25-2011, 05:46 PM

I would like to see them release onw giant TMNT set with the OT,2k3,NM,all four movies. All in jst one giant collection Yes I know I still think Next Mutation should be put in there jst for collection sake, but I would love to see this, but alas The OT is still own by Fred Wolf and he has vice grips on the OT. Oh well I can dream cant I?

cryan · 05-25-2011, 06:32 PM

The one thing I wish the Lionsgate box sets had were commentaries on all the episodes.What went into making them.the writing,The character creations and so on.I would love to find out how some of the "one shot "characters were created.I think LG really missed the boat on that.

*gobo* · 05-25-2011, 06:43 PM

I'm wondering now: What cartoons ever had commentaries?

I think SELECT epiosdes of the DCAU stuff....but aside from that, only "adult animated series" like FG and the Simpsons (maybe...I don't know if they do. Futurama does.)

*CyberCubed* · 05-25-2011, 06:54 PM

Yeah that stuff is very rare.

Freakazoid, The Real Ghostbusters, Transformers Animated, Gargoyles, Ren & Stimpy, the Ralph Bakshi-produced Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, SpongeBob, Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, Tom & Jerry, Popeye, and Wolverine & The X-Men, just to name the more "kid-centric" shows (plus plenty of Disney and Pixar films).

This reminds me I still need to get season 2&3 of Gargoyles

*sdp* · 05-25-2011, 07:26 PM

Commentary on ALL episodes? You can probably count the number of shows that have them in one hand, and thats for show that aren't over 100 episodes. I'm not a huge fan of commentaries but I wouldn't mind a few. Better quality transfers and for extra stuff I'd love the Turtle Tips and Toy commercials. Interviews and all that jazz is nice but not a priority to me. Does Fred Wolf even own the turtle tips?

Heck, Jester and I would volunteer to record our thoughts on the whole season!

We're certainly workin' on it.

rufus · 05-25-2011, 07:57 PM

Whoa. Finally Season 9 is being released. And speaking of remastering. I don't think Disney remastered the Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger DVDs,nor Ducktales,Talespin. They didn't look like they were but I could be wrong.
@Redeemer. Disney hasn't released all of season 2 of Gargoyles. Only half of the season was released of season 2 and all of season 1. The Disney afternoon sets are still missing their last volumes,
