I don't remember this one at all, but after a quick Google search I see why. Due to concerns of violence depicted in The Impossibles' segments, this was pulled from reruns in 1968.

I remembered this series but didn't watch it much in 1966/1967. I was more into Space Ghost.

GREAT FUN!

Jaw drop. My brother was a fan of the series and even had a Big Little Book based on it. I’ll feel very nostalgic watching the Blu-ray.

 

[Richard Kaufman]

I remember it well. Frankenstein Jr. reminded me of Milton the Monster.

 

[Midnight Mike]

Great news!! This series is really fun. Some clever scripts from former Looney Tune writer Mike Maltese. The DVD set was good, but these shows really needed to be cleaned up. Hopefully this will be as much of an upgrade as The Herculoids blu ray was! Really looking forward to this one!

While I was familiar with this show, it always seemed to air up against other more popular cartoons on Saturday mornings.
But once I started watching, I found it very entertaining. So, I will definitely be upgrading from my DVDs.

I remember ads for the show but never watched it... Based on old schedules it ran opposite The Flintstones so never had a chance at my house. I'll pick up a copy simply because of the creators and years it aired - it's quite likely I would have watched it had there been lesser competition.

While I enjoyed this series, I wish WB archives would have put out an unreleased HB program. There are so many.

Music on Frankenstein Jr was pretty good. Wish there had been a CD collection with more of its more obscure songs.

Manilla Gorilla sometime in 2025?

Manilla Gorilla sometime in 2025?

You mean The Magilla Gorilla Show.

 

[oldtvshowbuff]

You mean The Magilla Gorilla Show.

Yep!

 

[JamesSmith]

Has Magilla Gorilla ever come out on DVD before?

Music on Frankenstein Jr was pretty good. Wish there had been a CD collection with more of its more obscure songs.

I wonder if complete versions of the songs were actually produced or just the short songs used in the cartoons. Maybe there would have been an album had the show done better.

 

[Mark Y]

Has Magilla Gorilla ever come out on DVD before?

Yes, in 2006 and then re-released again without the extras. Buyer beware -- in this case the "extras" included eight Magilla Gorilla cartoons so the version of the set with the red banner ("diamond collection") is actually incomplete.

Neither version of the set includes the show opening or closing. But the original 2006 release at least has all the cartoons.

 

[Sam Favate]

Frankenstein Jr and the Impossibles was a fun show, and I’m glad Warner is preserving it. It’s a good example of the influence of the Beatles on all aspects of pop culture, not to mention the cool animation style of the mid 60s.
