I just got this to replace some of old animation clips I've had on my DVD player computer, for the Microsoft Video screensaver on it:

Ozie Boo! Learn to live together - the official Ozie Boo!'s website: Meet Ed, Ted, Fred, Ned et Nelly, 5 adorable baby penguins - ozieboo

Season 1 episodes are cut in 2 minute segments, which wrap a little song in them:

+ YouTube Video

Here's an example of the old ones that was removed. It was removed because it's only in French:

+ YouTube Video

Granted the Pigloo animation knocks Ozie Boo flat, but a screensaver is not supposed to be THAT exciting. If it was exciting, you'd be watching that all day and nothing would get done. Unfortunately for Pigloo, the French music group owners closed it down shortly after this song was released:

+ YouTube Video

As you can see, compared with the other songs, the Bizou d'Eskimo video really ruined the whole series. The "attitude" in there was just wrong.

Have never bought TV shows on DVD. But may have to start. My wife and kids only started watching Lost with me seriously for this season (4). So I've had to borrow the first three seasons to catch them up. We're almost halfway through season two right now and my kids are loving it. Planning to watch another episode after dinner!

The last DVD of a TV show I bought was season one of The Closer (well, technically I asked for it as a present). I discovered that show during the third season, and enjoyed it, but I couldn't figure out some of the background info and they never seemed to rerun any season one episodes.

The only other one I ever purchased was Eureka season one, for the same reason. I discovered that one during a season 2 marathon, but there was some background info I really couldn't figure out by the context. And yes I did watch the extras on this one. (And now the show's been on hiatus so long I'm going to have to watch them again to figure who's who! Fortunately, there is a marathon on again).

1. What did you Buy?

WAGON TRAIN The complete color season.
It includes all 32 episodes from season 7 and each are approximately 90 minutes long.

2. Why did you purchase?

Always been a fan of the Wagon Train series especially the color episodes.

3. Did you watch any of the "extras" included on the DVD?

Oh, yea. The set includes resent interviews with Robert Fuller (Cooper Smith) and Denny Miller (Duke Shannon) as well as 16 bonus episodes from the series other 7 seasons. Good stuff, good stuff.

Something unique about the Wagon Train series, unique as in I don't believe any other tv series ever did this, was that during the series first 6 seasons the show was one hour long and filmed in black and white. During the seventh season they went big budget and filmed each episode in color and went to a 90 minute format. Nothing too unusual there yet. The unique part is that for the eighth and final season they went back to a one hour format...and black and white!

They also fired Denny Miller. When they reverted back to 60 minutes, they only wanted one scout, so either Bob or Denny had to go. While Denny was more popular in the US, Bob was huge overseas, especially in Germany, Mexico, and Japan. They kept Bob and fired Denny.

The DVD quality was decent, but just an FYI, it's not 100% complete. It's darn close, but Shout did their best. I actually have a few eps that have smoother transitions and such. Universal is a real pain as far as helping to get anything put on DVD.

True Blood: First Season

Bought it for a rehash on a couple of episodes I missed but read about.

The extras are awesome, has some fake ads (like as if you, the viewer are a part of the vampire reality) for lawyers for vampires and vampire hotels. Pretty funny, and there was also a news report on Vampires by some known anchorman, can't think of his name off hand, but that was pretty cool too.

Cool points for you Tim on busting out with the Wagon Train DVD. Haven't seen it for years.

I'm thinking about picking up TruBlood 1st season on DVD just to have. hmm, decisions, decisions, decisions.

X-Files Season 1-9

Ive taken to buying television series on DVD sets and then selling them when finished. Beats Netflix, for me.

I may start to use the internet more, too.
