Geez, how long are they going to keep milking their license for the OT?

[CyberCubed]

Top 10 episodes?

"Legend of Koji" better be on that DVD.

[Jester]

Would almost double dip for new content...but there is none....so...what's the point of this? (The DVD release, that is,)

To continually sell DVDs to casuals or kids watching the Nick show.

Its obvious Lionsgates doesn't want to sell the show to Nick. So they're trying to squeeze out whatever money they can.

[Donatello19]

They should really just stop. The entire series is available in one set, for crying out loud...not to mention the single season releases.

[Jester]

If you're gonna try and milk it, at least put some effort at it and give us SOMETHING new. Seems like a pathetic cash grab for the 30th.

Seems? It is! I am curious how they determined the specific episodes are fan favorites. Poll fans? Lurk around this forum? Its nothing I need having the whole series already, but I am curious what the top ten favorites are according to Linosgate.

[Jester]

That's a good point. I never heard of a poll, and I'm sure we would have. I mean come on, our forum is named for Krang and Shredder's headquarters. If there were a legit poll we'd have known.

[oldmanwinters]

Looks like the box art is claiming its the top 10 episodes as voted on by TV.com

[Jester]

So...in essence how they rank by fan votes on a site like TV.com or imdb, eh? Seems "scientific"...

[MikeandRaph87]

All the episodes have a 7.0-9.8 rating of the reviews. Its like someone said see which of this obscure rating system has the ten highest rankings. Real smart Lionsgate!

From looking through the website I have determined it possible that the top ten episodes from their bizarre method is in chronological order:

1.The Shredder Is Splintered.
2.Curse of The Evil Eye.
3. The Big Break-In.
4.The Big Blowout.
5. Superhero For The Day.
6. Four Turtles And A Hare.
7. My Brother The Bad Guy.
8. Planet of The Turtles.(highest rated)(2 parts)
9. Night of The Rogues.(2nd highest rated)

All of those episodes are rated with either a 9.7 and 9.8 on TV.com if Adam's find has a plausible lead. What do you think,is the ones I determined from that idea what will appear on the set and if so what do you all think of the set of episode that could appear on the set?

[CyberCubed]

"Turtles and a Hare" being on any Top 10 list makes me depressed. I really hope that's not on the DVD.

[Technogeek29]

Havimg bought the Turtle Van set I really don't need this. And I highly doubt 4 Turtles amd a hare, is that popular. I don't think it's terrible but I certainly don't think its top 10 material.

[CyberCubed]

My Top 10 favorite episodes (not in order)

Turtle Tracks
Legend of Koji
Get Shredder
The Old Switcharoo
Turtles on Trial
Son of Return of the Fly II
Shredder Triumphant
The Ninja Sword of Nowhere
Leatherhead meets the Rat King
The Big Blow-out

The Big Break-In is only rated 9.6. There are ten episodes that have a 9.7 or 9.8 rating.

1.Planet of The Turtles (1)
2.Night of The Rogues
3.Cowabunga Shredhead
4.Superhero For The Day
5.Turtles at the Earth's Core
6.Curse of The Evil Eye
7.The Turtles and the Hare
8.The Big Blowout
9. My Brother The Bad Guy
10.Shredder & Splintered

I'm pretty sure this what we are going to get. Though I highly doubt they will only include half of Planet of The Turtles. It will probability be the hour long version,

[Refractive Reflections]

Wait... not even the bonus material is new?

So there is nothing exactly new huh? Just reshuffling the same content. ...To be expected.

Maybe they should provide actual "never before seen" material and maybe there would be an incentive to buy it. Okay, whatever Lionsgate... whatever... **shrug**

This would be a decent list if it weren't for the god awful, "Turtles and a Hare" on it. Whoever rated that episode so high when it was probably among the series absolute worst episodes needs to be smacked.

Not even the cover art is new

[oldmanwinters]

Interesting! I figured "Once Upon a Time Machine" would outrank "Turtles and the Hare" due to its somewhat rare status before the Season 10 DVD release. I'd imagine many of those episode listings on TV.com probably don't even have more than a handful of user votes. That seems to be par for the course for the IMBd too.
