2.0 out of 5 stars A Great Cartoon Butchered by Classic Media, March 20, 2004

This review is from: Underdog Boxed Set (Collector's Edition/Chronicles/Nemesis) (DVD)

Did I miss something that the other reviewers saw? Or did I get a defective DVD set? This set would have been alot better if Classic Media kept Underdog as the original TV series. Each Underdog episode was initially shown as a serial with cliff-hangers. In between each cliffhanger was a short like Tennesse Tuxedo. What Classic Media did was to run each episode in one complete uninterrupted showing. This takes away from the original series' charm. The "Cliffhanger episodes" are banished into the features section which is a shame because the cliffhangers are classics in and among themselves. The features would have been better if they interviewed some of the actors such as Don Adams or even some of the people involved with the production such as Howard Stern's father, Ben. Instead you get co-creator Joe Harris' creepy account of a never before seen Underdog episode written for two girls.

4.0 out of 5 stars This collection of episodes holds up well but is incomplete, February 14, 2004

This review is from: Underdog Boxed Set (Collector's Edition/Chronicles/Nemesis) (DVD)

Most of the time, I cringe when I see my old favorite shows that I haven't seen in years. After watching these DVDs, I was pleasantly surprised that Underdog still brings a smile to my heart.

These DVDs were packaged both separately and together as this box set. They are NOT the complete series, which ran for a lengthy 120 episodes over 7 seasons.

There really isn't a single clunker in this small selection of episodes whose plots range from the standard evil-invention-of-the-week (The Vacuum Gun) to the moral tale about standing up to evil (The Witch of Picayoon, my favorite episode) to alien slapstick (Zot).

If anything, I was disappointed because each disc was over so quickly and left me wanting more. On each disc, there are teasers to "Episodes available on VHS" but these either never existed or are out of print.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the original stories, March 24, 2006

I must agree with the other reviewers that this set is awful as it does no show the episodes in the original clifhanger form as shown on TV. I will be the first in line to buy underdog when it is produced as it was ORIGINALLY shown with all the shorts like tennessee tuxedo and commander mcbragg and with the cliffhangers. Come on guys give us the original show as it should be and this set will fly off the shelves. Until then you can keep this junk.
