Super Mario Super Show

[yoda313]

I bought this on ebay and it came the other day. I love it! The live action is lame but the cartoons are great

I'm thinking of getting the Zelda cartoons as well.

Ah the good times

[yoda313]

Wow I'm suprised nobody took a cheapshot at me for buying these dvds

Consider yourself gratified

Thanks jimmy

[jimmalenko]

I live .... to give

[Faustus]

I remember that show. I hated it, except on Fridays when they played the Zelda cartoon. I'm sure it wouldn't hold up to my expectations today but I remember liking it as a kid.

[yoda313]

You can get JUST the Zelda cartoons you know

[VideoTechMan]

Interesting Yoda.....you got these off ebay? Are there any still available?

I still have the original VHS versions I recorded back when they first aired....on a cheap 2-head VCR. Granted I still have them but the quality defintiely isnt great. I have been longing the day that I will be able to get better quality videos of these, but of course I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

[yoda313]

Oh these should be available brand new at a store. I got mine with the shrink wrap on. Real copies not home made dubs.

[VideoTechMan]

Sounds good....may have to search then. I havent been able to find those in any store thusfar....but if they are indeed out then I definitely want to find them. Been waiting a long time to try to watch these again....

I hope that they release the SMB3 episodes too at some point. Do you know the company that is distributing the DVD's Yoda?

[yoda313]

Shout.

[UNiCRON]

Netflix has the "Mario Bros. Super Show", if anybody just wants to rent them.

[VideoTechMan]

Found it Yoda. Thanks!

@Unicron, this is a set that I will be keeping. I used to have Netflix 4 years ago but I dont deal with them anymore....plus its one less bill to deal with every month. Besides, they may not have the 4 disc set to rent.

[yoda313]

I was at Best Buy yesterday and found the Zelda cartoons. $26!!! I wasn't going to buy them for that price. Maybe I'll try ebay later if I want them. Right now I'm having fun with the mario cartoons.

[lordsmurf]

Did SHOUT! put any extras on the discs?

[yoda313]

A few. An interview with Lou Albano. Some trailers for other tv shows.

Plus each disc has artwork from the cartoons.

[VideoTechMan]

I just gotten my boxset in today via UPS. And though I havent watched them yet, I have a feeling that some of the episodes have the edited/changed music from the ones that originally aired. Like "Danger Zone" and "Jingle Bell Rock", and "Weird Science" were cut and replaced with some instrumental stuff in later airings.

In a somewhat unrelated note I read that in one SMB3 cartoon episode "Kootie Pie Koopa Rocks" they took out the song based from Milli Vanilli after their fiasco...good thing I still have that original uncut episode as well.

I think that would be my only minor gripe as far as the DVD set goes but other than that it's awesome! Good thing that I still have the episodes with the original songs on the VHS tapes I did them on when they first aired.

I think it really sucks though when copyright gets in the way of decent DVD entertainment.

I have heard that the other half of the episodes of this DVD set will come out later this year. If that's true then I am going to get that as well.

What do you mean by that? Is that a second season set? I mean there are 20 some episodes on this set.

And despite your concern about missing music pieces I didn't even notice. Well either way you'll enjoy the set.

I might still buy the Zelda cartoons if I sell some more stuff on ebay. Not worth $26 for a dozen or so episodes.

There are a total of 52 episodes of the original SMB cartoon series. This 4-disc set has 24 episodes so you still have 28 more episodes left. Most of them I have on VHS, but if they will come out on another DVD set soon containing the other half that would be great because I will buy those too.

As for the music it's no big deal, but after watching the original eps with the original music so many times over the years when I saw them again years later I had noticed that they were replaced with instrumental music. I tend to notice some differences quite easily.

As of now i'm watching the first disc, and so far im luvin it!

Sounds like you're "HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS"

[VideoTechMan]

Got that right!

[yoda313]

BUMP!

Well I broke down and bought the ZELDA set. Very Nice

I'm thinking someday I might rework it to make the dvd set complete by mixing in the original SMB episodes with the zelda cartoons.

Does anyone have a list of when the original epsiodes aired? I'd like to do the 4 smb cartoons then the zelda cartoon and repeat until the series is laid out like it originally aired...

[duffyr83]

I remember the watching Super Mario World as kid, i enjoyed watching that one. as for your episode list you might want to check here. they might have zelda as well, but i havent checked.

EDIT: They do have a list

[lordsmurf]

TV.com is often wrong with many shows. Seeing as how Zelda aired as part of the SMB Super Show, those guides are also not correct.

I hate it when people separate episodes into several parts and call shorts or portions "episodes". Idiots. They do that with Smurfs and Baby Looney Tunes and several others. It's wrong.

[yoda313]

Baby Looney Tunes

I think you mean TINY TOONS

[Conquest10]

There's also a baby Looney Toons. Its not Buster its Bugs as a baby.

[yoda313]

Really??? Sorry didn't know.....

[dukenukem]

Congrats on the great buy,i loved that show as a kid watching it whenever it was on.

[yoda313]

BUMP!!

Just bought volume 2 at Bestbuy today.

I hope that they release the SMB3 episodes too at some point.

I don't know if these are the smb3 shows are not. I haven't opened them yet but if they are I will let you know

[Suave74]

I use to love that cartoon
