CLASSIC
TV ON DVD:
 Dastardly,
Muttley and their Flying Machines
Also from Warners - two of my favorite cartoons as a wee kid - The
Perils of Penelope Pitstop and Dastardly, Muttley and their Flying
Machines. These shows were both spinoffs of the phenomenally successful
Wacky Races (1968-1970).
These two 1969 animated series were the top rated cartoons of the time
- with the Dastardly, Muttley and their Flying Machines ("STOP
THAT PIGEON!") collection you get all 17 episodes on three discs
along with commentary on two episodes by Hanna-Barbera's top artists from
the day.
This one featured the aerial adventures of villainous World War Two 'ace'
Dastardly and his perpetually snickering dog Muttley; brought to life
by the vocal talents of Paul Winchell and Don Messick.
 The
Perils of Penelope Pitstop
Also in release, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop which represents
the Wacky Races gang in a Max Sennett Keystone Kops motif.
In
this one, Sylvester Sneakly (Paul Lynde) aka "The Hooded Claw"
does his best to grab hold of young, innocent race car driver Penelope
Pitstop - and her money. If Peter Perfect couldn't save her, the Ant Hill
Mob would be close behind. Is it any wonder the kids who grew up on these
cartoons are so fond of NASCAR today?
Includes commentary by voice actors and animation veterans on two episodes
and all 17 episodes of the production. Loads of retro-fun, makes
a great baby sitter.
 The
Super Friends Volume 2
Warner Home
Video and the DC Comics Classic Collection imprint have released a couple
of DVD sets that I really enjoyed, you might as well.
First up, The Super Friends Volume 2 - with the classic Super
Friends lineup from 1978 featuring Superman, Batman and
Robin, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna. These
are the cartoons you grew up with on Saturday morning, pre-'Challenge
of' and pre-'Legion of Doom.' They're cheesy, poorly animated with ridiculously
silly scripts but that's the charm of this show, it's a flashback to a
simpler time that leaves you feeling nostalgic for the way things were.
This 16 episode collection comes complete with extras that include a 'Pajama-Rama
SuperFriends Retrospective' with Kevin Smith and friends along with a
funny music video celebrating Zan and Jayna - all this at the low price
of less than $21.00 if you order now from Amazon! You can't lose!
