Unfortunately my #1 wishlist item from H/B will probably never be released by Warner Bros. I'm referring to the '70-'71 Harlem Globetrotters. Several companies have ownership rights (including Viacom & Warners), and I guess CBS still has rights as well, but I'm not sure who has media...

I'd go for a complete boxed set of the Abbott & Costello cartoons HB did. Too bad those don't seem to be in the mix. Gary "and of course the biggest grail item from HB are the original Harlem Globetrotter cartoons - but I believe CBS has the rights so it will probably never be released" O.

I concur. I've held off sharing my thoughts because I don't want to be greeted with a chorus of "I told you so's" if things don't happen just like I say they might. This board is always good for a few of those type comments, so I'm done making predictions one way or the other. But I will say...

Still hoping for the original '70's Harlem Globetrotters. That's the biggest H/B cartoon still on my wishlist. Gary "not sure if that one is ever gonna make it" O.

Quote: I wasn't attempting to offer a solution. There isn't one. I was taking exception with what I understood to be a suggestion that it shouldn't be a big deal to anyone if releases take years and years to get finished. That may be what happens (for any one of numerous reasons), I...

Quote: Bingo again, Grant. Gary "that's my one regret with slowed up/stalled releases geared to kids - mine are now older teens and the window for some shows that would have been fun to share with them has now passed" O.

Quote: I'm only speaking for myself, but it seems like the point being made by some of us isn't that we feel everything should have been released by now. Of course that's not realistic, as you pointed out. I think it was more of a counterpoint response to a seemingly cavalier attitude...

An inside joke for my pal, Jeff Willis: Protectionist Alert!!! Protectionist Alert!!! I've got most everything I really want badly from the HB library, so whatever they do or however long they take to do it doesn't matter to me. But I do feel for those that want to see some...

Quote: Bravo, Grant! That was very well stated and sums up my feelings exactly. There is an aspect of this hobby where having to wait too long for a series can be a severe negative. And you've pointed out one of the biggest ones - kids don't stay kids forever. Gary "Paul also...

My number one wishlist item, by a long shot, is The Harlem Globetrotters. I know it's not actually owned by Warners at the moment, but I wish they'd get a deal done and release this fantastic Hanna-Barbara series. Second on the list would probably be something like The Adventures of Gulliver...

Quote: Great list, Randy. I do know of one you missed, but only because it involves my favorite comedy team of all time. The Abbott & Costello Cartoon Show Gary "HB really did put out a ton of great cartoons in the 60's and 70's" O.

Quote: I'd be in for at least five of those titles, but the one I want most (Globetrotters) isn't owned by Warners so I doubt it's going to see a release. Gary "CBS owns it and I don't see them ever releasing it" O.

Quote: It's not a "rights" issue in the sense that the Globetrotters themselves are holding things up. It's that I believe the cartoon series itself is no longer under the ownership of Warners. I want to say Time Warner, or whoever owns them now, has the rights. Don't ask me how that ended...

I was glad to see The Herculoids offered, but my top choice (I'd probably classify this as a Holy Grail for me) is the Harlem Globetrotters cartoon. Not the pathetic Super Globetrotters, which I personally think is pretty bad, but the original show. I'd unhesitatingly pay Archive prices for...

So many of the HB cartoons have been run, uncut, on Boomerang for the past decade that it's hard for me to get too excited about Archive releases. But if you took away all my recordings off Boomerang and I had nothing in my collection except what's already been released on pressed DVDs, I'd...
