Does anyone know if Butch Cassidy was initially pressed?
I'm not sure what Thanksgiving specials they have to release. I once asked them about Bugs Bunny's Thanksgiving Diet and Mouse on the Mayflower on Facebook. I didn't get a reply. Thanksgiving Diet is about the only Bugs Bunny special I can think of that has not been released either as a stand alone or as an extra on one of the Golden Collections. From my subsequent research, I think Mouse on the Mayflower may be owned by Classic Media, as part of its half of the Rankin Bass libarary.MattPriceTime said:Also what's left in terms of specials? They like throwing some of them out towards the end of the year. Maybe this is the year for the Thanksgiving special.
Remastering & restoration of SPACE STARS has required an enormous amount of painstaking work, especially tracking down missing (and deteriorating) film elements. The process is now complete, and an announcement is forthcoming. We hope fans will be pleased with the result of our efforts.
Given that Space Stars is one of their most recent titles, I wonder why it was particularly difficult.Randy Korstick said:Someone on FB just asked about Space Stars again. Here is their reply:

Yes, that is correct. Classic Media has Mouse on the Mayflower and when asked they haven't been all that forthcoming with information or enthusiasm to get it released. I would love to have it since it is the very last Rankin and Bass holiday special that hasn't been released on DVD yet.JoeDoakes said:From my subsequent research, I think Mouse on the Mayflower may be owned by Classic Media, as part of its half of the Rankin Bass libarary.
Thank you very much for doing this. Shaggy and Scooby Get a Clue is a horrible show. I'd rather watch a Scrappy Doo marathon.derosa said:Another one of those random Scooby two disc sets coming January 7
"Scooby-Doo - 13 Spooky Tales: Love of Snack"
A smattering of recent half hour episodes, with a good number of shorts
from 1980-81 Richie Rich Scooby Doo show, in their syndicated "scooby and Scrappy Doo"
format of 3 shorts per show. I looked up the dates on the scooby wiki, and it has
slightly different pairings for those short episodes than they are listed on the discs,
but yeah, it's more retro Scooby for the fans.

Me too, but because he wasn't THAT bad. I do think Scrappy's "legend" has been built up by the Internet. And yeah, because S&SDGAC is THAT bad.JoeDoakes said:Thank you very much for doing this. Shaggy and Scooby Get a Clue is a horrible show. I'd rather watch a Scrappy Doo marathon.
I was a hard core Scooby fan as a child. I started out with the last year of Scooby Doo, Where are you? and I faithfully watched every iteration after that, including many of the Scrappy Doo episodes. At some point, I got disgusted. Scrappy was annoying and Scooby wasn't the same character I had loved. "Scooby" walked around on two legs, and used many more words than he ever had before. As for the New Adventures of Batman, I do not think I watched it much if at all in its original run, but I think it's a really good superhero show. Not a great cartoon for adults, but Adam West and Burt Ward do great voice work, and my children really enjoy it.JMFabianoRPL said:Me too, but because he wasn't THAT bad.

I don't have the RR/SD set, are these shorts double dips? And nothing from the 1982 shorts?
Still wishing for '82 in its COMPLETE version so I can see the Puppy again, but since there's no demand for that series and, you know, the Scrappy thing, I doubt that will ever happen. (Plus I wonder if I am building the show's legend up cause I have not seen it since original broadcast, like I did with The New Adventures of Batman, and when I finally saw that...whoa...)
Yeah, I got thrown off when they lost the rest of the gang and did fantasy stories, and yes, when Scoob became more anthropomorphic. But I'd watch those over Get a Clue still.JoeDoakes said:I was a hard core Scooby fan as a child.

Cool! Another DVD set on my "Santa List".Greg Chenoweth said:Space Stars is up for pre-order: It comes out October 8th. Cover looks cool.

Agreed on the superiority of Scrappy to Get a Clue. Batmite doesn't bother me for some reason. The 1968 series is one of my top wants. I got the sense that Warner is going back to the remaining superhero shows it has, so I am hoping it will be released before too long. As for Burt Ward, there's a great episode where Penguin develops a "crime slime" to turn Batman and Robin into criminals. Ward has a great line where he says in his best "criminal" accent, "We got places to go and crimes to commit." It's awesome.JMFabianoRPL said:Yeah, I got thrown off when they lost the rest of the gang and did fantasy stories, and yes, when Scoob became more anthropomorphic.

The '68 Filmation series was 100000x better than the New Adventures. From what I saw of it, they were really corny. Plus I wanted to kill Batmite, as they NEVER GAVE US A BREAK FROM HIM THUS FAR. Some He-Man eps. didn't have Orko, after all. Adam West > Olan Soule, but Burt Ward always sounded bored to me on this series. And being in the '70s meant "no fights." I dunno I will have to resume watching the NA series to see if it gets better to me.
