Well at least Shout waits and admits when they can't use something, instead of releasing hacked up versions. (Rhoda notwithstanding)
Yeah...like with The Tick sets...Ken_Martinez said:I still say that's a slightly different circumstance because the Punky Brewster cartoon episodes are explicitly bonus features, which are as a rule never given the TLC of the main program. It'd be something else if they released the cartoons on their own and THEN omitted the episode.
That's a good question.moviebuff75 said:I have a question. I know that "The All-New Superfriends Hour" contained PSAs, but did the 1980 series have them, or were they repeats of the ones produced for the previous show? The dvds do not have any for the 1980 series.
What's crazy about how WB is picking the episodes to release,Is that Vampire Bats has been out on DVD for 12 years already.It was on one of the very first Scooby Doo single disc releases,way back in 2001. I shake my head every time one of these setsIs announced. Any fan who really wants to watch these showsshould just download them from iTunes, and be done with it.Ridiculous waiting forever for a DVD.http://scoobydoo.wikia.com/wiki/Scooby-Doo%27s_Spookiest_Tales_(DVD)Darby67 said:Here is the release info for Scooby-Doo and the Vampires: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Whats-New-Scooby-Doo-Scooby-Doo-and-the-Vampires/19128Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats (one of the famous "missing 8" episodes of classic Scooby-Doo) is on it. I just wish they would release all 8 of them in one release rather than the piecemeal approach.Darby
I didn't really understand what you meant by "not gonna happen",JMFabianoRPL said:Not gonna happen. More DVDs to buy = more $$$$ for WB.
There has never been any mention of them needing them. And given Shirt Tales is an 80s show, it's far more likely they had in perpetuity clauses for home media on it from the start. Hence meaning there would never be any rights problems.JMFabianoRPL said:About Shirt Tales: do they need the rights from whoever came up with the greeting cards first?
I have that set and it's a good episode, but I'm not aware of any of the other "missing" episodes available on DVD...?What's crazy about how WB is picking the episodes to release,Is that Vampire Bats has been out on DVD for 12 years already.It was on one of the very first Scooby Doo single disc releases,way back in 2001.

There are 8 episode from 1977 that have not been released on DVD. Well, not all 8 of them have been released. These were originally part of the Scooby's All Star Laf-A-Lympics show.

[*]Scooby-Doo's Spookiest Tales featured a different cut of this episode with a few changes:
[*]The title card is missing, probably because the two episodes that this one airs in-between have no title card at all.
[*]Some of the blue lighting was changed to brown.
[*]After Fred says, "Next stop: Lisa's hotel!", the Mystery Machine's driving animation is more smooth, and the vampire materializes from its exhaust using a spacey sound. (In the original, the Mystery Machine had more crude animation, and the camera zoomed out to show the vampire.)
[*]Some more sound was added, especially to Scooby-Dum's reactions as he and Scooby-Doo try to load the coffin into the Mystery Machine.
[*]Mr. Dracul has a softer voice.
[*]When Shaggy and Dracul carry the coffin, the transition from light to dark is rougher.
[*]The scene where Shaggy and the Scoobies are blocking the door from the vampire (as Lisa gets her post-hypnotic trigger phone call) is flipped so that the door is on the left.
[*]When the Scoobies trap the vampire in the coffin, he doesn't keep bobbing up and down after he sinks.

Well, that's interesting. So which version (if either one) is the original? (I gave up and recorded these 8 plus the missing New Scooby-Doo Movies and second season Dynomutts off Boomerang, just to have them even as reference copies.)MattPriceTime said:I think it's unfair not to mention the Spookiest Tales verison of that ep is not the regular print people have seen for the last several years and the version on this new DVD is (er well the ones shipped in Europe are and the American one should as well)

Thanks that's what I meant I guess, but didn't say well, that is which ones made it to disc beyond Vampire (which I think is a great episode) I don't remember the other two by title.Vampire Bats and Scaredy Cats - on DVD - Scooby Doo's Spookiest tales
