Stories form Seasons 4 & 5 DVD sets!
**Updated 2/2/11**
If you have been collecting the seasonal sets 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 like me, then you can pass on this.
First a quick word about these later seasons:
SEASON 4 - only 19 new half hour shows were produced. The rest of the season was filled out with re-runs.
SEASON 5 - NO new half hour shows were produced. BUT 66 new 3.5 minute Rocky & Bullwinkle segments were produced to be inserted into older shows, replacing the older Rocky & Bullwinkle segments. Thus 33 half hour shows were created for the 5th season re-using the secondary cartoons from previous seasons.
The box art shown by Amazon must be a preliminary version. It states "16 Fumbled Plays", when actually there are 28 episodes. My box cover states "28 Fumbled Plays".
Each of the three stories starts out with one opening title section from seasons 1 or 2 as indicated, a brief Rocky & Bullwinkle intro. And then the story chapters, uncut but with out the individual...
I really didn't want to buy this.
When is Classic Media just going to release a proper season four DVD set? That is what I would like, instead I have to buy this. The episodes are great, and none of them are one the first three season sets, but I like the interludes of Fractured Fairy Tales, Aesop and Son, and Peabody and Sherman. Also, the 'exploding lightbulbs' end credits would be nice too. It has a much jazzier tone to it.
Content Brilliant but presentation is not the original cut.
Rocky and Bullwinkle are great, but the original format has been changed for these DVD's. Instead of the chapter interludes (Fractured Fairy-tales, etc.), the story goes from beginning to end without "interruption". Anyone raised on Rocky and Bullwinkle will be a little disappointed that the style has been changed.
