Teddy Ruxpin on DVD!!

SOOOO I went to Walmart last night and was looking to see what was out.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a face I vividly remember from my childhood and to my amazement it wasn't some lame remake it was the show I knew and loved as a child of the 80's!
Yes my friends for the first time ever the first 5 episodes of Teddy Ruxpin are on dvd!!!!!
The only thing toping this for me is the news Zarius posted about Galaxy High coming to dvd.
I do recommend this to anyone who loved this stuff as a kid.
BTW does anyone else besides me remember there being a live action Teddy Ruxpin show also?

Ick.

How long have I been waiting for The Centurions to make it on DVD, only to see stuff like this get formatted instead? Travesty is the only word that comes to mind here.

I hated Teddy Ruxpin. Damn thing reminds me of a fluffy Chucky doll. Hmm... That brings to mind a cool concept: Crossover!

Ruxpin was great, perfect rival to Gummi Bears at the time, good continuity also, had a long running arc, not sure if it wrapped up though...

Yes, Centurions needs a release so desperatly now, a lot of Ruby Spehres shows do, Spiral Zone, Chipomunks, Sky Raiders...

I agree and I hope they bring out the rest of the Ruxpin episodes it would be a shame for them to start and not finish it all..do you happen to know how many episodes there are Zarius? also by any chance do you know if Dark Wing Duck is out yet?
thanks

65 episodes, standard for syndication in the 1980s', Black Monday killed all chance of a second season (Teddy Ruxpin culled by a stock market crash...too funny)

Here's the link to see the intro to this cartoon many of you hate. Lol I remember it so well. it was on teletoon for a while when the channel first started. I was afraid to watch it again...

I used to watch it all the time when I was like 6.. I remember there was a live action movie before the cartoon started.. and there was this doll who talked with a tape inside of it..

Meh, what do they know? Anything overly cute and marketed to tell you stories at bed is bound to blind a few people. The show was well written.

oh well not everyone will like everything..I agree with you Zarius I loved Teddy because I grew up with the talking dolls and amazingly sculpted action figures for its time....and I did watch the live movie and cartoon all the time because of it...I didn't remember the show that's why I was so happy yo buy it on dvd and now being 26 I can say seriously grow up to all those talking about his voice and what not it's an amazingly well written show even compaired to half the **** they feed us on adult tv today.
I happen to like Teddy Voice btw so what if it's cutsy he happens to be a very kind polite character..
I like grubby the most the bumbling side kicks are always my favorite characters for some reason...
I also really like the wolly watsit!
the Foobs are a bit annoying though that I will say ther ehigh pitched voices are way to much for me lol
I really like the bad guys on this show though they are CLASSIC!
So far 2 dvds are out I've only found one I'm ultra excited about this dvd realse almost as much as I am about Galaxy High!

You're sitting here telling people to grow up for having an opinion about a cartoon that you don't agree with? Perhaps taking your own advice is the best thing to do.

I'm just saying how could you even base an opinion on a show some of you have never even seen let alone remember.
if you look almost everyone is forming there opinions on the stupid toy.
the things I say are valid and I stand by them.
watch the show I'm telling you it's better then I remember it being and it actully made me laugh quite a few times.
I'm allowed to voice my fealings just as much as anyone else is especially when others are being rude about something I wanted to share and making uncalled for michael jackson jokes etc.

Why are you making so many assumptions? I saw that show so many times as a kid it made me sick. Just because a couple people talked about the toy doesn't mean they've never seen the show. People aren't going to like everything you like. Deal with it. You don't need to tell everyone to "grow up".

I'm not making assumptions and I'm not even talking to you peanut so chill...
I'm talking to those who are acting immaturely about it.
I honestly don't give a rats ass if you do like it. I love it and thats all that matters to me hell no one in the world has to like it but me and I'd still be happy about it...it would be more fun to watch it with someone else but whatever I'm fine by watching TV myself it's not like going to the movies or anything.
and once again I didn't tell everyone to grow up I'm speaking to those acting like idiots over it....you know the people who think they are the Technodromes personal one liner comedians
