I'd like to see the 1976 Saturday morning show, The Kids from C.A.P.E.R. on DVD. I wonder if there's anyone else here who remembers this show.

since the appeal of saturday morning, or childrens tv fare is primarily a nostalgic one, i would love to see the various owners of this kind of content release "era"-centric sets.
maybe going in 5 yr chunks and sampling a wide selection of properties that have a general theme.

for example, have Artisan compile a list of all its kid programming holdings and then release box sets
vol 1 could have properties from 1960-'65
vol 2 " " '65-'70
vol 3 " " '70-'75
and so on...
just a suggestion.


otherwise i would still really like to see a Shazam/Isis box set

X-Men
Batman: TAS
Superman
Justice League
C.O.P.S.

Only in season sets though.

Thank goodness we are about to get GI Joe in season sets.

I agree with Jody L: it has to be the ORIGINAL Johnny Quest series.

I know it is/was available in Japan, but a R1 release of "Wacky Races" (1968-1970). This was a favorite of mine as a kid.

"Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp". This aired opposite "Wacky Races" during its single season (1970)and I don't think I ever saw it during its initial run. Maybe I'm prejudiced because I like the soundtrack album so much.

"Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies" (1970)

Second for "Banana Splits"

She-Ra and He-Man all the way!!!
These were excellent and actually stand the test of time (I rented a few on VHS tape about five years ago and STILL liked them!)

I want season sets too.
post #12 of 81
I just though of a few more. They're not cartoons, but live-action Saturday morning childrens shows that aired in the 1970's:

1) Dr. Shrinker
2) Big John, Little John
3) The Red Hand Gang
4) Ghost Busters (it aired on TV years before the blockbuster movie was released. They're not related)
5) Bigfoot & Wildboy
6) Lost Saucer
7) Lidsville
8) Monster Squad
9) Space Academy
10) Wonderbug

Nickelodeon really needs to release some of their older shows on DVD.
post #15 of 81
I'm surprised that nothing has been released on "The Electric Company" (perhaps there are rights issues).

Certainly there were some big names (Bill Cosby, Rita Moreno et al) and some classic characters (Blue Beetle, Paul the Gorilla, Letterman, Fargo North etc.)

Any it had a cooler than cool Spiderman

I wouldn't need the complete series, but a 4 DVD boxed set featuring classic bits would be most welcome. They could even be grouped by theme: one disc of "The Adventures of Letterman" and "Spiderman", another disc of the Cos, another disc of cartoons (including the hilarious "Happy Birthday Miss Jones, you sure got nice...bones"), and so on.

It's amazing, I can't remember what I watched on TV last week, but give me a kids show I last saw in the '70s and I can remember entire sketches

I really need Jonny Quest, my all time favorite animated show. I was about 8 when that show aired and it was the coolest show on Tv.

I also really want Star Trek - Animated.

Another vote for the Banana Splits.

Classic theatrical cartoons wanted on R1 DVD:

* All of Columbia's SCREEN GEMS (Fox & Crow, Li'l Abner, Scrappy, etc) and UPA cartoons (Mr. Magoo, Gerald McBoing Boing, THE TELL-TALE HEART, UNICORN IN THE GARDEN, ROOTY TOOT TOOT, etc).

* Universal's WALTER LANTZ cartoons of the 1930s-1950s (Woody Woodpecker, Andy Panda, Swing Symphonys, Hickory Dickory & Doc, etc), particularly all the cartoons directed by Tex Avery, James "Shamus" Culhane, Dick Lundy, Don Patterson, Alex Lovy and Sid Marcus. I wouldn't miss the late 1950s-1970s Paul J. Smith-directed cartoons, though, those were awful (and there were a ton of them). Get cartoon maven Jerry Beck to pick the selections. Many of these cartoons are currently available via Columbia House, but several are edited, and it would be nice to be able to purchase completely uncut Lantz cartoons through regular vendors, rather than getting roped into a DVD-of-the-Month Club type of deal.

* All of MGM's Tex Avery cartoons, and a special DVD set of great MGM cartoon "odds 'n ends" (stuff that doesn't fall under the TOM & JERRY, Tex Avery or Harmon-Ising headings), which would include: Michael Lah's six DROOPY cartoons (all in anamorphic widescreen), Dick Lundy's sole DROOPY cartoon (CABALLERO DROOPY) and ten BARNEY BEAR cartoons, the 1930s CAPTAIN & THE KIDS cartoons, and Milt Gross' two COUNT SCREWLOOSE & J.R. THE WONDER DOG cartoons (JITTERBUG FOLLIES and WANTED: NO MASTER), the three BARNEY BEAR cartoons co-directed by Preston Blair & Michael Lah (THE BEAR & THE HARE, THE BEAR & THE BEAN and GOGGLE FISHING BEAR), Chuck Jones' 1960s theatrical cartoon specials THE DOT & THE LINE and THE BEAR THAT WASN'T. All currently controlled by Time/Warner.

* All the Max Fleischer BETTY BOOP cartoons and other non-POPEYE Fleischer cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s, currently controlled by Artisan.

* All the 1930s-40s Fleischer POPEYE cartoons and the 1940s Famous Studios' POPEYE cartoons, currently co-owned by King Features and Time/Warner.

* The 1960s theatrical PINK PANTHER and INSPECTOR cartoons, currently controlled by MGM

TV cartoons wanted on R1 DVD:

* JONNY QUEST (1964-65 series only)
* GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE/TOM SLICK/SUPER CHICKEN
* HOPPITY HOOPER
* THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN (1968 Hanna-Barbera)
* The complete PIXIE & DIXIE (& MR. JINKS) cartoon collection
* The remaining BEANY & CECIL cartoons
* The remaining ROGER RAMJET cartoons
* The remaining ROCKY & BULLWINKLE cartoons
* THE ALVIN SHOW (the 1960s incarnation of ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS, including the CLYDE CRASHCUP cartoons)

Region 1 releases of the "Dangermouse" sets would be welcome here. I would also gladly fork out money for full season boxsets of the 90s "Spider-Man" series and "Into the Labyrinth" (UK series that was partially aired in Nickelodeon's "The Third Eye" anthology series). I might buy some sets of "The Real Ghostbusters" if the price was reasonable.

I remember Kids from CAPER.

On top of Electric Company I know there is demand for a Sesame Street boxed set (actually it'd probably be a 2 disc) of vintage bits. Schoolhouse Rock did pretty well so why not release this?

-All three prime-time Puff the Magic Dragon specials
-The remaining Rankin/Bass specials (including the exceptional Wind in the Willows from ABC)
-The Strawberry Shortcake specials from the early 1980's
-The Smurfs

-Complete early Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers episodes

-Pebbles and Bamm Bamm (where they were teenagers)
-Some of the ABC Weekend Specials (I remember Bunnicula and Miss Switch)
-Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids Complete Series
-Today's Special (remember this PBS series!)

.....can you tell that I'm a '70's toddler/'80's child????
