The H-B Diamond Collection has the politically correct edits where the audio is blanked. Otherwise it's great to see Jonny Quest again.

The team of Tony Janning (Actor), Felicia Day (Actor), and Sandeep Parikh (Director) are back together again!

The premise is that Tony, playing a slacker & gamer, is magically transported to Herule, the Land of Zelda.

There is a tremendous amount of geeky humor and clear, tongue in cheek ad libing.

It was cool to see Sandeep's creative hand at bringing the characters inhabiting Herule to life.

The series pokes loving fun at the various denizens for all the contrived (and highly neurotic) reasons that that might have been in their positions for Link to attack in the Zelda series.

Tony as Link also lampoons the benefactors of Link for providing help in the way of substandard, crappy wooden and limited use ties when they clearly could do more if they chose to do so.

One caveat, this is adult humor.  So, if you are a gaming mom or dad, every scene of every episode might not be appropriate for the youngsters.

Well done!

In service,

Rich

This is the original Jonny Quest That I remember from the 60s. The packaging and bonus material are great. Love it.

Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures - The Complete Second Season," from William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, is an animated version of a series that aired originally in the 1964-1965 season. The animated science fiction adventure TV series aired from August, 1996 to April, 1997 as a continuation of the live-action series and The New Adventures of Jonny Quest (1986). Created and designed by comic book artist Doug Wildey, the series focuses on a boy who accompanies his scientist father on amazing adventures. Inspired by radio serials and comics in the action/adventure genre, it featured more realistic art, characters, and stories than Hanna-Barbers's previous cartoon programs. It was the first of numerous Hanna-Barbera action-based adventure shows, which would include Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman and the Galaxy Trio.

To save money, the Hanna-Barbera Studio pioneered the technique of limited animation, which does not provide the intricate, smooth animation of classic Disney or Warner Brothers cartoons. Limited animation has the characters move side to side with a sliding background behind them. The characters remain mostly static, with only the crucial moving parts, such as running legs, shifting eyes, or talking mouths, redrawn from frame to frame on a separate layer.

In Season 2, Team Quest spends less time in the sinister cyber environs of Questworld as they jump back to their 60s spy/science fiction/adventure roots. A new voice cast is featured as well as some old faces, like Pasha the peddler, femme fatale Jade, and the deadly Dr. Zin. As Jonny, Hadji Singh, and Jessie Bannon continue to assist Dr. Benton Quest and Race in their global investigations, Team Quest must contend with all sorts of dangerous adversaries, including deadly Zinjas dispatched by the vengeful daughter of Dr. Zin. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Surd is still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the team to let its guard down.

All 26 episodes of the shows second season are contained on 3 DVDs. There are no special features in this unrated set.

Space Quest IV was the game that captured my attention as a young computer gaming.  The wonderful characters, humorous situations, beautiful hand-painted scenes all combined to immerse me in a game like nothing I had seen before.  From that point I was hooked on all computer adventure games, especially from Sierra.  I played the remaining games available in the Space Quest series, the King's Quest series, QFG, PQ, Laura Bow and on and on.  I am very glad to see these games re-released, and am looking immensely forward to playing them again.  Here's to nostalgia.  Now if we can just get some of the others (QFG, Quest for Camelot, Laura Bow) re-released, that would be great!

Was great to see Arnold Schwarzenegger back in action again with some great lines relating to his age, etc. Obviously there's some holes in the story, but that's somewhat expected. Hopefully the sequels will answer the unknown and put everything together, making it a good new series of the Terminator originals.

I loved Jonny Quest as a kid -- the exciting story lines, the vivid background scenery, the dramatic background music and the lifelike human characters.  In fact, the only character done in caricature is Bandit, Jonny's lovable dog -- who often provided the show's comic relief.  Even though the animation was a bit more stilted than, say, Disney or MGM shorts, it was still light years ahead of "Scooby-Doo," "Batman," and the other action-adventure shows that succeeded Jonny Quest.

Among the things (and people) that Jonny, Dr. Benton Quest (his scientist father), "Race" Bannon (his bodyguard), Hadji (his East Indian pal) and Bandit battle are lizard men, pygmies, dragons, gargoyles, and even a turu, a walking mummy, an invisible monster and a crawling eye.  Each story is packed with edge-of-your seat excitement for young viewers -- without boring their parents in the process!

This DVD set comes in a fold-out cardboard and plastic case of 3 DVDs, which are housed in individual DVD holders.  There are other bonus features, including a PF Flyer (sneakers) ad featuring none other than Jonny Quest!

However, the one thing that kept me from rating it 5 stars was the bleeping of Race Bannon calling the Po-Ho warriors "you heathen monkeys" (even though you can still see him mouthing the words!).  This was rather surprising, especially since Warner Brothers were not "politically correct" with either their "Droopy" or "Popeye" collections.  Personally, I think they should have left the dialogue in for historical purposes and put a disclaimer at the beginning of the set, as they did with both Droopy and Popeye.  But that's minor.

Otherwise, if you want the action, adventures and pure fun of yesteryear, I would highly recommend this set.

Once it gets started, JJ Abram's rebooted second installation makes good on action and entertainment. Since we do not have a current ST series to fill in the logs between now and the next film, it will be interesting to see what they do next with this storyline. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of of those 'cheekbones'!

After a few years of editorial mismanagement from Golden Eagle, the Destroyer is back with a new publisher and a rejuvenated writing team. In a way, it's a return to the winning formula that made this series the go-to book for action, adventure and side-splitting satire all through the '70s and '80s. All the great elements are back - the action, the well-written interplay between Master Chiun and his occasionally ungrateful adopted son Remo, hiss-worthy villains, socially relevant satire (with the most clear-headed view of the illegal alien crisi this side of a Minutemen meeting) ... it's all present and accounted for. If you, like me, found yourself losing interest in the series during its tenure with Gold Eagle, rest assured that Tor (along with Warren Murphy and James Mullaney, of course) have the series back on track. Welcome back, guys; we sure missed you.

I was addicted to the first game, and found myself playing until the wee hours of the morning, so I was very excited about the sequel.  Although they had tried the other games carrying the "Puzzle Quest" name, they were far from fun.  This game makes some dramatic changes to the RPG portions of the game, allowing for a more interactive environment. There are some storyline elements which are quite weak, but overall the gameplay changes are all very good.  The core puzzle element, while still holding true to the formula, is actually a bit less fun and addictive than the original.  The overall speed and quality are just shy of what made the original a true pleasure.  The other additions to the game though more than make up for this slight detraction.  Overall it is a wonderfully fun experience, and yet I had to rate it with 3 stars for the overall game as you spend the majority of your time in the core puzzle element.  My only true negative on this game is the "loot" minigame which can be just a frustrating aspect after a long fought battle.

I read the other reviews of this video before purchasing, and was a little worried by the negative ones.  However, I think most young children will have no objections.  My five-year-old son enjoys the original Pooh movies (like The Blustery Day), the lower-quality TV series videos, and the newer ones.  He thinks this one is great.  (I wonder if this is analogous to Star Trek:  We older Original Series fans just can't get into the newer incarnations, whereas others enjoy them all.)
The animation was a little funny-looking:  Pooh has too much of a neck, for one thing.  The music and the stories were pretty good.  Young Pooh fans will love it.
I think, for overall quality, the original Pooh movies and "Pooh's Grand Adventure" are superior.  (I'd actually recommend  "Pooh's Grand Adventure," over "The Book of Pooh."  Even though it's not A. A. Milne either, the music, artwork, and writing are truly first-rate.)

I'm sure the critics will hate it, but I loved the series and loved the opportunity to see the team in action again. I can't wait until the next movie. Maybe if these sell well, they might resurrect the series. Again.

I remember I couldn't wait to watch  Jonny Quest every morning . Glad they brought them back on DVD. And now all the other great Hanna-Barbera cartoons of that era.

I remember the last time I saw this flick before now-September 10,2001.  Too much of life imitating art there.  Regardless this is my favorite entry in the series and the reasons are manifold.  Firstly, John McTiernan returns to helm the action and return it to the blue collar roots of the first film.  Secondly, Jeremy Iron's tongue-in-cheek villainy if not the equal of Alan Rickman's in the first is at least comparable.  Primarily the film's real selling point is the rapport between Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.  These guys riff of each other like they've been doing it for years.  No offence to Reginald VelJohnson but he's more at home with Steve Urkel then being in these two fisted affairs.  I don't think there has been a misfire in the whole series but for my money I'll take this one followed by the original.

I am a huge Hart to Hart fan!!  It's great to see those two in action again. In this one, Jonathan almost finds a sister and Robert Wagner's real daughter plays in this. It was great. I hope Sony releases seasons 3,4, and 5 soon.

I loved the Greatest American Hero when it first came out. I was 11 and Superman II had come out that same summer. So I was all superhero'd up that year. Now I loved Superman II that year but the Greatest American Hero used a new and different approach to the super hero genre. Ordinary special ed teacher Ralph Hinkley (William Katt) takes his class to the desert on a field trip when the van mysteriously stops working. He hikes up the road to find help when he runs into FBI agent Bill Maxwell (former 'I Spy' man Robert Culp). He gives Ralph a lift but the car like the van mysteriously shuts off and they are met by an alien space ship (with "little green guys"). Ralph and Bill are chosen to help make the Earth a better place as Ralph is given a red super suit. Unfortunatly, Bill is spooked by the little green guys and takes off leaving Ralph with the magic "jammies." As Ralph is cussing out Bill for leaving him there he drops the instruction book in the desert by the side of the road... So now we have a reluctant super hero who doesn't know how is super suit works. Bill shows back up to help Ralph help him solve his FBI cases. Ralph's divorce lawyer and girlfriend Pam Davidson (Connie Sellecca) also joins their team. A great chemistry between the three as I couldn't wait for every Wednesday night to watch! Was funny to also see the hang up the network had at that time on using the last name Hinkley for our hero. Sounded too much like John Hinckley, the man who shot Ronald Reagan that same year. So for the remainder of the first season Ralph's last name was "Hanley." June Lockhart's (Pam's mom)dialogue was edited when they were at the airport. Everytime she said "Hinkley" it was muffled by the sounds of jets flying by.

While I have all these great memories of the show there are some things they changed. Any song that was a cover was deleted and subbed with an original new song. Ex. "Rocket Man" was replaced in the pilot. It wasn't like these were the original artists. They were covered by Mike Post with Joey Scarbury on vocals.

The Extras are wonderful as there are interviews with William Katt, Robert Culp, Connie Sellecca, Michael Pare, and creator Stephen J. Cannell. Also featured is the 1986 spin off pilot, the Greatest American Heroine (which never aired) where Ralph becomes a world wide celebrity and is asked by the little green guys to give up the suit to a sucessor. It was neat to watch but it just isn't the same without Ralph, Bill, and the counseller.
