Are you collecting on DVD/Blu-ray the shows you grew up on as a kid?

Jan 26, 2012 7:00 PM

Recently I have started to try to collect all the shows that most people forgot about, but I grew up on as a kid (born early 80's).

As of late I am starting to see more and more of them coming out on DVD and Blu Ray...

Recent purchases...

Gummi Bears
Street Sharks
Angry Beavers
He-Man
Biker Mice from Mars
David the Gnome
Pirates of Dark Water
Tail Spin
Darkwing Duck
Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers

the list goes on and on..

I was so worried that we would never see them again, and it is nice to run back over the nostalgia.

What are you collecting / what do you hope they release to DVD

I'm not. I guess there aren't any shows from my childhood that I'm particularly attached to...

I guess too it all depends on when you grew up... I was big into the Saturday morning cartoons... I would get up Saturday morning, have some captain crunch (destroying the roof of my mouth) and bust out some Legos and watch some Saturday morning cartoons.

Good times

@politicsisevil: "destroying the roof of my mouth" is right! I can't believe that its still fed to children (and people in general).

I got the Carol Burnett Show collection on DVD, found a "deal" and ended up with burned dvd copies that are pretty crappy. Kinda wishin' I paid for the real thing. Quality can be everything.

Funny, I'd been looking for a while for Dungeons & Dragons the cartoon series, but didn't want to pay regular price. Because of this post, I remembered to look it up again, and low and behold it is on sale -- reg $19.98, sale for $6.99. I listed it as a deal. :)

I didn't watch much TV as a small kid. I was out conquering the world. As a teen there were a lot of shows I loved, but looking back at them now most of them seem pretty dated and hokey.

The other day I was flipping through netflix and came across the old "Adventure of Sonic the Hedgehog" cartoon...

As I was watching it I was like wtf why does sonic sound like Urkle...

bust out the iPhone... IMDB App low and behold... Jaleel White played Sonic. Who the hell was casting that show? Looking back on it the casting director should have said " did I do thaaaaaaaat " get it Urkle... too soon?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
