I'm enough of a fanatic to buy it on the date of release, but enough of a realist to know that it'll be marked down at some point afterward, like Oban was. Either way, it's GREAT news. Can't wait to pretend like it's 1999 again.

I recently received my copy of The Powerpuff Girls' complete series set, and ordered both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight for delivery later this week. It's rather irritating how many DVD bargains I have to pass up on a weekly basis. My local Walmart seemed to be putting out its old stock...

WOW. You're a king. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's been so long that I didn't even notice until I read your post. What really disappoints me is how consistently boring Cartoon Network's DVD covers are, especially when taking into consideration their position as an outlet for creativity. The last good one I recall was for Ben 10 Alien...

I saw Johnny Bravo at Best Buy, but the price wasn't selling it for me. I feel bad for not boosting the sales on these sets, but soon enough. Still need to get the Powerpuffs, first and foremost. This is a must buy, nevertheless. Surprised the forum isn't buzzing about this yet. I had to...

That was the most peculiar thing ever. But, I would never underestimate the intelligence of today's kids. I as a child (not too long ago) always made it my business to know where my toons were coming from: domestic, Japanese, French, Canadian, a co-pro between nations, etc etc. Those end...

Some people develop that nonchalance from their parents. Back when my mom ordered the family's current HDTV, I believe I was the one to realize its higher calling. So, I set out with an intention to get an HD cable box, and it delivered for the while we had it... and then, certain things...

My jaw dropped when I read that title, but I quickly picked it up when I realized the discussion was about players. My family is usually ahead of the curve (or riding on it) when it comes to new tech, but we're behind on Blu-ray. The HDTV is accounted for (has been since 2007), but the PS3 is...

Economically friendly? Then, why isn't it cheaper? :p

I remember how, back in its heyday, Cartoon Network had show-specific advertisements for new Samurai Jack episodes (because it wasn't sure whether it fit in with CCF's image). I am not suggesting doing this across the board, as it would fail, but I was working on a project that involved our...

Fans won't care if the discs come in a crumpled lunch bag, they're going to get the set. And, kids who are just getting into Johnny Bravo now will see his personage and logo splayed across the set and easily identify with him. Given that there's no real "design" here, I don't know how a...

All except for this one make me feel some sort of way as a designer/fontographer. Don't use Eagle for the secondary font! Eagle is already the CARTOON NETWORK logo subtitle! A variety of fonts (two, at the very least, but three, generally) helps make a brand pleasing to the eye. One for the...

I have a persnickety eye That first one's a crude acronym, I'll admit. Over a period of four years, the Samurai Jack sets never changed in composition, other than the Cartoon Network logo used on the packaging, which changed halfway through. The lettering on the spine did shift a bit from S1...

I'm glad that they're giving people less reason to order the Australian sets, but "Hall of Fame" is unnecessary. Think back to the days of the Hanna-Barbera Golden Collection, which became the Hanna-Barbera Classic Collection after one wave of sets. Sure, it peaks collector interest when you...

I overthought Did books kill public entertainment? Did instructional videos make public school obsolete? And, did Baby Einstein affect day care attendance? Technology can only supplement any type of education, because even online courses are controlled by some previously established...
