After many years of waiting, the DVD gods have finally released Tales of the Gold Monkey
on DVD here in the US!
on DVD here in the US!I can finally retire my old home made pirated DVD copies I got off of Napster years ago.
They served me well but the DVD set is a thousand times better.
Although, all is not Champagne and Starlets with this DVD set. There are no Subtitles or a Closed Caption option. I don't really NEED them, but they are nice to have, especially when you're trying to watch the show with a house full of screaming Minions running around.
My other minor gripe is that the sound quality is not the finest. I guess I shouldn't complain too much seeing as I've spent the last two decades waiting for this to come out.
All in all I'm a happy Geek. Now if we could just get Thundarr the Barbarian and The High Chaparral on DVD I'd truly be at peace.
I loved that show as a kid and have been waiting for it-Thundarr too.
ReplyDeleteYep, I want Thundarr also.
ReplyDeleteI remember liking this quite a lot. Definitely worth looking into.
ReplyDeleteMax Headroom is also about to be released, making for some good cyberpunk adventure ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! You all do not have Thundarr on DVD? Poor bastards. :)

ReplyDeleteOh, we have it on dvd and on our hard drives. what we don't have are nice sharp DVD boxed sets with all the goodies.
I snagged this set a few weeks back, and (ashamedly) haven't had time to watch a single second of it yet! Oh the humanity!!!! Maybe tomorrow, I'll set my alarm clock a little earlier. Sound like a plan?
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, Thundarrrrrrrrrrrr! I have a... a-hem... *copy*... but yeah, would love a real nice box-set, with extra goodies, too! Haven't they *officially* released a few eps on those Saturday Morning Cartoons DVD sets? That usually means it's getting close to a full-blown release, rights-wise and such, right?
