Great news for fans... but I don't know why Nick thinks that these old live action Nick shows would be profitable, and Rocko's Modern Life (even in best of volumes) isn't!

Yeah. Ren & Stimpy, SpongeBob, Invader Zim and some other Nicktoons have been released on DVD; but there are still alot that haven't (and some of those that have only get single-disc compilation releases, with just a handful of episodes on each DVD).

*Drtooth* · 09-12-2007, 12:54 PM

Ren and Stimpy was released during the small period of time where they thought that the new series would work. I'm still waiting for the Ultimate collectors edition that they announced 3 years ago that never came up.

Spongebob was released because it was a current popular series.

Invader Zim was released by a third party company, not Nick (as they wouldn't have themselves).

Now I can see them not doing Doug, due to Disney claiming they still own him. Rugrats I'm surprised I didn't see. A lot of others I don't imagine would do well..... But I.m sure that a lot of people would buy Rocko. I'm disappointed that there really wasn't any merchandise. i saw a girl's T with Rocko on it at Hot Topic last year. I know there's a call for it.

I'd love to see Rocko and Doug on DVD. Two of my favourite cartoons ever.

Well, yeah. I was just noting a few Nicktoons that have been put out on DVD.

As for ones I'd like to see, along with Rocko and Rugrats (which 'rats has had some single-disc releasing). Others I'd like to see include: Rocket Power (a few episodes are on single-disc), All Grown Up (some of it is on single-discs, as well), Aaahh! Real Monsters, and Angry Beavers.

*Drtooth* · 09-12-2007, 03:01 PM

I'd also love to see Fairly Oddparents in sets. I got most of the single disk releases, but I want more episodes.

*VaughnMichael* · 09-12-2007, 03:05 PM

I want a Sifl & Olly box set but I doubt that will ever happen Nick/mtv/viacom must not think the shows we liked are good enough for box set treatment but my super sweet 16 is..

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 09-12-2007, 07:37 PM

Okay I found this site when I was looking for Ahh Real Monsters! but I am not sure if I should order anything or not. Does it look legit everyone?

Clearly bootlegs. They're probably just episodes downloaded from the net and burned to DVD's.

Yeah, obviously bootlegs.

As most of those still haven't had legit DVD releases (so far the only ones I know of are the Canada-only Afraid of the Dark?, as I started this post of; and Secret World of Alex Mack is going to be getting released soon, Season 1 scheduled for Oct. 2nd).

The cheap looking white box covers didn't give it away?

Let me just pull out the phrase that pays here....

Stupid tweenage girl demographic.

If Rocko's modern life was a show about a whiney blonde girl whining about how she's rich and popular, we'd have 8 box sets by now. And a movie, a second series, a breakfast cereal, a cell phone case, a Nintendo DS game, a direct to DVD movie, and it would be rerun on TV a million times a day with the E/I educational logo on it.

*Brodie* · 09-13-2007, 11:07 AM

Too bad those money hounds don't want to finish the Pete & Pete series on dvd, I have seasons 1 and 2....wtf.

We'll believe it or not my opinion of that is it all started with the whole boy band crap allot of those girls are in their 20's now and are still mindless idiots loving all the crap that empty v shoves in their faces.
They're really teaching people good life lessons here I know so many nice kids who are now complete snobby little brats because they want to be just like some rich spoiled brat they saw on tv it really makes me ill.

Mtv thinks Sifl & Olly was one of it's worst tv shows ever I'm sorry but I can think of allot of other shows that are a hell of allot worse that where on and are on now.

Yes I realize they aren't real in any form but I kinda wanted them anyway. I just didn't want to loose my money. They did have a sample of what the quality looks like, basically the same things you find on Ebay sometimes

But not to digress, I did love Are you Afraid of the Dark and I hope they start some Us releases of all these older faves

I almost bought some ones of The Tick like 2 years back that had all the episodes in it. But I decided to wait it out and it paid off cause they started to release The Tick on DVD. So maybe if we just wait it out a bit longer they will come out eventually. I mean the bootlegs will always be there but I doubt they will never release them on DVD. Their so cheap to produce and they charge like 30-40 bucks a piece of them they won't ever loose money on that stuff. And I'm sure people of our generation would rather raise our kids on DVDs of TV programs we watched that the mindless garbage they show on TV now for kids.

I'm still waiting for the damn TV Funhouse series to come out on DVD.

Amazon.ca is your friend. I've purchased more than one Canada-only disc from them. The best part is they're NTSC and Region 1, so no compatibility issues.
