Thanks, Randy, Benjamin and Eric. Yes, I was curious if anything was missing from any of the episodes on those sets and if the end credits were original to each episode or a generic set that was made up to be all inclusive for every season. This latter is something I've always wondered about...

But can anyone answer my question about the releases of the original 60's series on DVD? Have things been tampered with beyond the end credits?

I'm out of the loop on the quality and possible issues regarding THE FLINTSTONES releases we've seen thus far. I bought the entire series years ago when Big Lots had the inadvertent sale of them, at rock (ha!) bottom prices, but only cracked open the first season about a month ago to watch on a...

Definitely in for ATOM and SECRET, two favorites from my kidhood. But greed knows no bounds, so where is Wally and Touche and Quick Draw and....

Matthew, until you've worked for the major film studios as long as I have and had first hand experience with their operations in both their creative and legal departments, I don't think you should be so quick to dismiss any opinion that runs contrary to your assumptions. But if it makes you...

Sarah, we see the trends differently, but our goal is the same: To acquire our favorite titles and have them as part of our collections. Everything else makes for a "forum," but none of us can predict anything with absolute certainty. You know what would make me happy in the short term and while...

As someone who still has his Wally Gator "Soaky" from when he was five years old, I hope it does get released someday!

This is pretty much what I've been trying to say and I agree with you about the time frame for physical discs. Where we disagree a bit is that the studios will continue catering to collectors via downloads. They might, but I have my doubts that they will offer anything but their most popular...

EDIT: Done.

Although a rebuttal with contrary evidence is available, I think it best to agree to disagree and just wait to see what happens as the market and marketing changes. Lest this thread turn into a negative slug fest as often happens on HTF, I will conclude my part of this by saying it has been an...

Warners is already marketing streaming as a much more convenient and ultimately cheaper alternative to physical media. The demographics for streaming will eventually skew older and right now the Warner Archive streaming channel is filled with vintage film and television titles geared for an...

But streaming will become their preferred method of delivery, there is no denying it. Tossing an old cartoon onto their streaming channel represents a far less investment than releasing a limited run MOD, including a lack of restoration costs if that's how they choose to present it. We can go...

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Believe me, I would love to be wrong and that there are still years of DVD/Blu releases left, but I'm not too optimistic at this point. And the older some of us boomers get, the less market there is for some of the vintage titles. I can see TOUCHÉ...

I have no doubt that everything will be released, but not in the physical media format. Once the Warner Archive streaming channel gains a foothold and streaming itself becomes more widely accepted, you will see the DVD/Blu departments of the WA fade away. I would expect an announcement one of...

Where's the DISLIKE button? What a shame.

Does anyone think we'll ever see more of the classic, though relatively forgotten 60's HB toons like WALLY GATOR, SNOOPER & BLABBER, TOUCHÉ TURTLE, ATOM ANT, et al.? Some of these barely even made it to BOOMERANG back in the early days of the network and certainly are few and far between now...

Stop invading my brain and stealing my exact posts! Couldn't agree more with your sentiments, Mark and Greg. It's not to disparage later HB titles, but stuff you grew up on almost always seems to take precedence when it comes to children's TV.

I would love to see those again. They were all such an essential part of my kidhood.

For those of you who have access to the great streaming channel PUB D HUB, they are currently streaming episodes of RUFF AND REDDY that were recorded from Boomerang. The quality is VHS watchable. I can't imagine it's legal for them to have this, so catch it while you can!

Thanks for the FANTASTIC VOYAGE info. I ordered it from Amazon UK, $16 and change shipped.

Sarah, have you had a chance to watch any more of these? Is the quality consistent? I have 1960's board games for THE LONE RANGER, MANDRAKE THE MAGICIAN and FLASH GORDON, all saying they are based on television cartoons. Were those also Filmation? Have any of these been released besides...

Thanks Greg! WALLY is one of those toons I never seem to catch on BOOMERANG between shows. Same for TOUCHE TURTLE and SNOOPER & BLABBER. Am hoping for SECRET SQUIRREL as I collect anything having to do with the 60's spy craze.

Greg, do you know the conditions of the PETER POTAMUS, WALLY GATOR and SECRET SQUIRREL shows? Those are three I would like to see released. (Forgive me if this has been answered already in the thread, I didn't have time to read the whole thing).
