Rock On! That Rules the Planet! I'm so excited, I just peed!

 

[TheBat]

awesome news that the first season is coming to dvd.. I wonder if it will have any extras? like interview with cast and crew or commentary?

the first season was only a half hour long. it went to an hour in the second season. there was 7 seasons all together. I figure they would of have combined season 1 and season 2 together.

I'm still waiting for official confirmation before I get too excited but I'm really hoping that this news turns out to be true.

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

HAHAHAHA GREAT NEWS!!!



I'M SO EXCITED!!!

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

I think I got the confirmation I was looking for. Mark Evanier who wrote for the show had this to say in his blog today.

 

[Matt_H]

anybody know of plans to release "Garfield: His 9 Lives"? I always enjoyed that one mainly becuse it was a little dark.

 

[TheBat]

I think with the release of the garfield movie.. that is the big reason that we are seeing garfield tv specials and series coming to dvd.. even Peter Statton said that it would be a big year for garfield. He was not kidding with us.

[Jeff Jacobson]

Any idea what is wrong in the contents listing?

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Jeff, I don't know what that means, I took that quote from his blog, and that's all he said about it, nothing else in terms of what the actual content is. Mark is registered at HTF but doesn't post very often...I've seen 2 posts from him in total. I love his site though.

No esta Sylvia, esta uno de esas criaturas de Kung Fu en el alboroto...DOS!

As long as that episode gets out one day, I'll be a happy cat myself.

 

[MarcoBiscotti]

Does anyone know if this original theme will be reintegrated into the first season set: http://www.angelfire.com/film/jonnys...d/garfield.htm

Also, when did the newer "we're ready to party" theme come along?

It will be a huge mistake on Fox's behalf if they do not include the original opening on this first season set!

 

[TheBat]

www.dvdtimes.co.uk has the latest info about the garfield tv series. looks like volumke 1 will have the first season and the first half of season 2. the first season was only a half hour, then went for an hour on the second season.

Mr. Mark Edward Heuck, That is one of my favorite episodes as well. I loved the Kung Fu Creatures on the Rampage 2!

I always remembered seeing G&F on saturday mornings as an hour long. Only when I saw them re-run on Fox and Nick, did I ever see them half hour, and I watched them from the very first episode on. Maybe I just remember wrong?

 

[Mark Evanier]

GARFIELD AND FRIENDS was done, from our point of view, as a half-hour show. The first year, CBS ran it that way. Starting in the second season, it was an hour show which only meant that the half-hour shows were reformatted into hours before broadcast. All of the masters in the vault were formatted as half-hours.

73 of the 121 half-hours have been released into syndication. The others have not been seen in the U.S. since they were on CBS.

The current plan is to release all 121 shows as five volumes of DVDs. The first comes out in July and the second is tentatively intended for the Christmas market. All of the prime-time specials should also be available before long, as well.

That's really about all I know about the DVD plans. I'm not even sure which theme song is on the episodes on this volume.

 

[TheBat]

thanks for posting the news here at the forum. do you know if the plan any making of features in the later dvds? interviews with cast and crew? that would be very cool.
