It's about damned time!

I remember each of these episodes! Loved the show...

However, does volume one - with 33 episodes - ecompass ALL the shows?

[neomaine]

Hmmm. Looks like there may have been 76 episodes:

Not sure if its referring to the same series though.

Looks like I have some catching up to do:

Are those the original ones from the 80's???

I wasn't a huge fan by any means but I did see some of them...

I'm still waiting for the May release of the REAL GHOSTBUSTERS dvd set. That will be killer. Comcast already has two episodes on demand. Man that was a great series......

[stiltman]

Give me a break

Thunder Thunder THUNDERCATS .........rule

[yoda313]

Yeah but those sets are expensive! Aren't they still like 50.00 a set????

EDIT - by the way those were also on demand through comcast. Wow it had been a long time since I had seen that. I didn't even remember the characters....

They were also complete CRAP!
I was so stoked when Thundercats came out on DVD, but as yoda said - they're EXPENSIVE. So I got the first season from Netflix.
Boy am I glad I didn't buy that garbage. The DVD transfer was horrible, but that doesn't change the fact that the show is just unbelievably bad bad bad.
I remember watching Thundercats when it was new and how supercool I thought it was at the time, but that show absolutely does not stand the test of time. So horribly bad...

How about Transformers? Someone recently got me the Blu-Ray of the movie, and it's still pretty awesome. "dammit" and "shit" completely intact.

I didn't know the original animated movie was on BD!
I must investigate this further... I have the original series on DVD. It still rocks.

X-MEN was 1993-1997, five seasons, 76 episodes. The pilot ran in 1992.
There was a pilot for X-MEN in about 1988 too, but that series never happened, the pilot was released to VHS 2-3 times.

The UK already saw the first 26 eps to DVD, it was a typical release, nothing special, no extra features.

X-MEN was already released to VHS in the late 90s, by Suncoast, first 20-30 eps. The first 13 were released by another company too, EP mode tapes. And then random episodes have seen releases to DVD, including DVD versions of some of the early Suncoast VHS. All are long OOP, some are rare.

The original FOX run altered some episodes, namely the pilot (cut scenes, censored scenes) and ep#5 Slave Island (the alternate ending was only shown ONCE in the original run). The pilot was only uncut in the 1992 primetime showing.

I won all of the VHS tapes, DVDs, and have all other episodes recorded in SP mode off the original Fox run.

Later ABC Family, UPN, Disney, Jetix and WB airings of this show are edited, FYI.

Got that (Pryde of the X-Men). Who can forget Wolverine's aussie/cockney accent?

That pilot was essentially what X-Men the Movie (X1) became, except substitute Rogue for Kitty.

So is that how they ended up casting Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? To complement the aussie accent if that was the inspiration for X1?

Edit - Didn't kitty end up in - what was it - xmen 3? The girl bobby was sort of going after and got Rogue upset???

Based on the thread title, I was expecting this thread to be about some kind of "real doll" type of thing.
