5.0 out of 5 stars
The DVD's are fantastic., March 9, 2005
However, Rhino has lost the G.I. Joe publishing license, and the odds are, we'll never see Season 2, Part 2, or any other season for that matter. We have Aol/Time Warner to thank for this. Not only did they kill WCW, but they have stopped the publicaton of G.I. Joe DVD's: they're certainly doing an excellent job.

Half a cup of JOE, August 28, 2004
"G.I. JOE Season 2 Part 1" includes a meager 15 episodes of the classic animated series. The last DVD set ("Season 1 Part 2") offered an impressive 28 episodes for just a few dollars more. Clearly, this set is egregiously overpriced and disappointingly incomplete -- but it's G.I. JOE on DVD so you MUST buy it ("THIS I COMMAND!") Why Rhino didn't just make a 5-disc set including the COMPLETE 30-episode season is beyond me, but I suspect Destro is involved somehow. Anyways, you have to love the awesome new menu animation featuring a CGI Cobra Commander and some funky techno music. And be sure to check out the Dolby Digital 5.1 track on the fifth episode of "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" to hear our beloved Joes repeatedly referring to Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. SLAMMER and yelling "Full Force!" (instead of the traditional "Yo JOE!") - What's up with that?! I can't stand it when people get the JOEs names wrong! I'm not a big fan of Serpentor and Slaughter, but the episodes on discs 2 and 3 are topnotch G.I. JOE (and refreshingly Slaughter-free). New characters like Lowlife, Beachball, Lifesaver, Mainland, Busy-Signal and Dr. Fenderbender are a welcome addition; while old favorites like Duke, Scarlett, Flint, Lady Jaye, and The Baroness still get some quality screen time. Special Features include a couple of interviews and a few more "Now You Know" public service announcements. It would be nice to see some old Hasbro and Marvel Comics commercials on the next set...assuming there IS a next set. Until then, YO JOE!!! (...or, if you prefer, FULL FORCE!!!)

A little fresh news on Season 2 Part 2, May 13, 2005
As some have noticed the second set of season two has not been released. Rhino lost the rights to the Sunbow series and Sony Entertainment picked them up. Who knows when or if Sony will re-release them?
The 5.1 soundtrack has an error during the last episode of "Arise Serpentor, Arise" that contains the UK version, hence the different names. Just put the soundtrack back to "original broadcast" and you'll be set.
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, I'll try to help xerofall@comcast.net
