5.0 out of 5 stars No bad language. Don't be swayed. September 19, 2011

By F. Strat

I think I just read the funniest review ever on Amazon. It was written by WinfieldLizzie on this product. They claim that the "C" word is used in an episode & that there is probably other bad language. Well, I wasn't even going to bother looking it up, but was going to say that they must have misheard the word, as it would never appear in a TV cartoon from the 60s. But my curiosity got the best of me & I threw in the DVD. I went to the spot they mentioned & put on my closed captioning. If WinfieldLizzie had done this, it would have saved them a lot of trouble & saved them from looking like an idiot. The word in question is actually the word "con". Truth be told, it sounds a bit like the "C" word, if you're listening for it. Anyway, feel free to buy this set, as there is nothing offensive in it. I would have commented on WinfieldLizzie's review, but they didn't allow commenting on them. Understandable. Too bad their bad review affects the product's rating, as it is brought down due to stupidity.

As for the quality of the DVDs, they are top notch as far as video & audio. There is some speed up in some episodes to fit them all on the discs, but it is hardly noticeable. The packaging is the new sleeved package that have been seen recently in discount DVDs. In my opinion, they're well worth the price. If you like the show, get it. Period.

I have been waiting for this Speed Racer complete collection for years. Don't let the recently released movie deter you from getting this excellent collection of cartoons. My 8 year oold son and myself love watching these old cartoons. It brings back a lot of happy memories from my childhood to see these again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speed Racer The Complete Classic Series Collection November 3, 2008

By E. Faucheaux

Purchased this Series for my two and half year old son. He is enjoying the series as much as I did as a child. Quality of the product was great but could have been packaged better as the collectable tin was bent from shipping.
