Review(s): DVD Bobby's World - Scratch 'n' Sniff Episodes
Bobby's World is an awesome place 2 visit
I loved this cartoon as a kid, and I would watch it faithfully whenever it was on (after-school & weekends). I saw this while searching through the discount rack ($5.99) at the Best Buy across the street from my school and picked it up immediately. I'm happy that I did as about a week later I got pretty sick and laid in bed all day watching Bobby's World and it allowed me to laugh and reminisce, making feel worlds better in the process.
LOVED IT
My son watched Bobby's World as a child and we enjoyed it right along with him. Howie is terrific as Bobby - journeying along with Bobby's imagination is quite a ride. Its a cute show for kids (my 2 and 4 year olds now watch it), although some of things you could get away with in 1990 you can no longer say in most cartoons (eg - Derek calling his brother Bobby stupid and a dweeb).
I sit and watch the episodes over and over again - especially "Swim By Me" and the song "I was at the bottom of the pool..." and I'm not one to usually do that.
Its an affordably priced, enjoyable program. I recommend it.
Childhood all over again :)
I loved Bobbys World as a kid. And i still do now. When a friend pointed this out to me on the net i went insane. I had been searching for the show on TV...but no one played it anymore. Its only about $13 canadian so its a great buy. If you have kids, get it for them and they can experience the great time we had while watching it.
It comes with a scratch and sniff card. I tried to figue out the smell for a while...but then i relised the answer was at the bottom. The card is a joke, it says "[Answer: Cardboard]". (a early reviewer did not notice this). The DVD also includes Uncle Ted's adventure (i believe thats the title), which teaches kids how to get over the very common fear. Fear of the Dark. The DVD also includes the episode with the very popular "Fish Don't Stink" song. I'd suggest this to anyone with 13 buck lying around.
The one down side is that the episodes are of the normal quality. No upgrades, so it doesn't use the capibility of the DVD.

The 1987 debut season of the wildly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' first animated TV series finally arrives in its entirety on this single disc. And while it's a pleasure to have these long-unavailable episodes in DVD format, the set's lackluster presentation and paltry extras also make it a disappointment for those hoping for a more expansive release. Volume One contains the five-episode "miniseries" that comprised the debut season and explained the Turtles' origins; the episodes are presented with opening and closing credits, though offered as single chapters on the disc. The "bonus" material is four episodes from the series' tenth and final season, which were largely unseen in the U.S. (though some U.K. viewers may have caught them). While interesting from a completist... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Cam Clarke - Barry Gordon - Rob Paulsen DVD Release Date: Released the 20 April 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

This movie starts off slow, but soon enough it picks up and its hilarious. Howie Mandel was a comic genious. My favorite scene is where he changes clothes in a dressing room but the dressing room was...umm..occupied! You'll love it too.

"If you only watch one show, make it this one," Garfield quips in one of the opening credits. I'm inclined to agree. With three seasons of the show under their belts, Garfield's writers hit their stride with lines like, "If you don't like the show, My name's Heathcliffe" (a rival cartoon cat), and "Jest not with a craven duck." Volume four includes shows from the fourth and fifth season of "Garfield and Friends," but while many shows run out of steam before then, or morph and become "extreme," Garfield instead became self-referential, with Garfield frequently intervening in his own cartoon. Recurring characters complain about their bit parts and Garfield notes with nonchallant disinterest the recurring themes. There are bits of the opening animation that have been changed including,...

Well here it is nostalgianatics: the complete 13-episode second season of the Fred Wolf Films produced TMNT animated series on DVD. This season is marked by a notable downgrade in both stories, art and in voice-acting, though the animation remains much the same. Unlike the previous season, which had a wonderful five-part storyline where each part was a complete story unto itself and yet all were integral to the evolution of the saga (as any good serial should be), this season is very episodic, featuring one isolated wacky adventure after another (much like the comic book was becoming at the time). The one exception is the "Eye of Sarnath" four-part tale.
The thin evolving story of the season's cycle simply concerns the Shredder trying to convince Krang to bring the... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Cam Clarke - Barry Gordon - Rob Paulsen DVD Release Date: Released the 26 April 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
