Great collection, fingers crossed The Banana Splits will be a restored 1hr uncut episode verison

The line up of these 2 new sets isn't as good as the first... at least for the 60's collection... but I'm diggin what's on the 70's collection for a change.

I really wish they'd make a 90's collection.... maybe have a way to get Taz-Mania and Histeria on DVD at last.

 

[SillyRed]

Will it possibly say Not Suitable for Children again?

 

[Telly]

Haha a 90's collection...with Yo, Yogi!

 

[Drtooth]

Or a 2005+ collection.. It would just be 1 blank disk and a disk of the Warner Bros head of animation giving everyone the finger.

I know, I know... I'm really hard on them. But they deserve it. They clearly don't know what they're doing there, and they seem desperately unhappy.

Bump:

There has been a correction with the ofiicial list of episodes listed...



Seems like the only thing the same is the inclusion of that exact Banana Splits episode. I actually want the 70's one... but the 60's one has more classic 60's HB shows like Peter Potomas before the era of "Did you get that Thing I sent you?" Superman on the 70's set was replaced by Batman (have they ever got the rights to the Filmation Superman? Seems like there's a gonk there... as there is with the 60's Filmation Batman).
