Well I'm picking Speed Buggy.

How about a shout-out for Wally Gator, Yo Yogi! and Peter Potamus? With this brilliant system, I think I'll finally see some of my favorites coming! why, 2 Stupid Dogs and Lippy The Lion complete series sets might not be far off....
I love all things cinema, from silent movies to world cinema to animated cinema to big blockbusters to documentaries and everything in between!

I usually don't comment much on people's taste in the product being released... BUT...


MY GOD! Most of the animation being released through the WB DVD On Demand is awful! There's a reason most of this stuff was never released before... it's putrid!

I unfortunately remember a few of these shows from my youth and on Cartoon Network reruns in the 1990s before CN started doing original programming.

With the exceptions of Rover Dangerfield and Thundarr, I really don't see much worth buying in that list unless you're a nostalgia-freak. (Yes, I have lapses in judgment, too, and actually like some pretty bad films and TV shows as well.)

The Gilligan cartoons???? Even the original 3-season live-action show hasn't aged well! The cartoons might be the one part of the Gilligan franchise that's worse than the original cast reunion movies and that awful reality version of Gilligan's Island that aired on TBS a few years ago...!

(See folks! The Star Trek cast aged far more gracefully than the Gilligan's Island folks did in their 2-3 TV movies. Even the Next Generation movies and The Motion Picture were written better!)

I would agree that the best of Hanna-Barbera has already come out on DVD. But we do all have our nostalgic favorites. And we all know that nostlagia can trump good taste. :)

I haven't picked up every Archive cartoon set, but do plan to get most of the H-B stuff.

I've got my own plans to get the rest of The Flintstones -- I have half the series now -- and maybe the original Jonny Quest and Huckleberry Hound.

As much as I like the designs for Space Ghost I just don't think I like those episodes enough to actually buy the series.

Plans are definitely to finish Pinky and the Brain and maybe get Tiny Toons... although frankly I think P & B and Animaniacs were better shows.

The Brave and The Bold is definitely a given. It's a matter of $$$.

This one I might actually like to get. I managed to not feel tempted by The Dukes or Wheelie.

But where the heck is Herculoids? It seems inevitable, but it's wierd that Toth's Space Ghost and Birdman each came out over 3 years ago, while Herculoids is a no-show so far.
