5.0 out of 5 stars Birdman & the Galaxy Trio, April 2, 2007

Now this is a truly good choice. Can't wait for the release date. Wow.
All 40 Birdman cartoons, and 20 Galaxy Trio cartoons presented as complete shows. For years we've laughed at the way "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" poked fun at this show. Now we can see the original Super Hero action that inspired it all.
Semi-regularly, throughout the series, you'll see winged Super-hero Birdman gain powers from the sun's energy, and take on F.E.A.R., a criminal organization which sometimes does its own dirty work, and sometimes employs super villains like Nitron, Dr Freezoid and Murko the Marauder.
Unique to the time (1967), they introduced a new character "Birdboy" in the later Birdman episodes, and developed him well, as he assisted Birdman in return conflicts with Birdman's old foes like Dr Millenium and Vulturo.
The Galaxy Trio stories are a fantastic outer space sci-fi Super-hero concept. Meteor Man (an elastic enlargeable hero), Vapor Man (who can turn into various gasses, as well as fire them from his hands), and Gravity Girl (who can reduce or increase gravity) fly through space in their ship Condor 1, defeating many foes. In particular, the music used in "Space Slaves" and "Peril of the Prison Planet" will make me keen to play them again and again.
LET'S HOPE THEY REPEAT THIS GREAT IDEA THEY'VE DONE, BY RELEASING THE 1972 "SEALAB 2020" SERIES which inspired the more recent satire "Sealab 2021".

I surely dont see how someone can say this is terible.I remember these as a child and they always made me happy on saturday morning.I was always glued to the set and didnt move.I guess the packaging is subpar and you need to put some effort into getting the disks out.No big deal i say as watching these again will be well worth it.Sometimes you find packaging like this but oh well,im just greatful to be able to own them and leave it at that.

5.0 out of 5 stars BIIIIIIRRRRRRRDMAAAAAAN!!!!!!, April 17, 2007

Just when I post a review for the Space Ghost DVD box set and requested the release of Birdman and The Galaxy Trio, well, if you're reading this, you'll know where I'm going.

I mean, WOW! What are the odds? Both on the same day. Man, my wallet is going to take a really serious hit on 7-17. And I hope I come across a review for the Herculoids box set as well. Seeing these two listings on the same day certainly gives me hope.

Admittedly, I'm not as nostalgic about Birdman (don't think I'd even remembered him or even heard of him up until about 8-10 years ago, don't know how I ever missed him) as I am about Space Ghost and The Herculoids, but since seeing them on Boomerang, they're now up there with those guys, as far as I'm concerned.

I won't go on any further other than to say, "Keep them coming, Warner Bros!" You're making me very happy right now.
