Another 10 inches closer to having all the classic cinemassacre content on youtube

[@testshietchannel]

And another 10 miles away from nowadays quality content 🤷‍♀️

[@pass_]

only 540 films to go!

[@testshietchannel]

@@pass_ unless he runs out of time

[@Labyrinth6000]

He should of never started up the new website. The old Cinemassacre website was KING!

[@thecubeman381]

And we're not gonna apologize for what happens next. It's gonna be great.

[@JusticeForPottsvilleMaroons]

Update from 2024: Both the 1987 series and the 2003 series have full and complete DVD sets. And the fandom rejoiced!

[@CSManiac33]

But the 1987 complete series is just all the individual discs bundled in a set with all the out of order episodes stuff.

[@ChaseMC215]

Except the problem is that the '87 set is still the Lionsgate releases, which means, yep, out of order episodes. Heck, the Paramount release from days ago is still just the Lionsgate release.

[@williamwilson480]

​@@CSManiac33 but doesn't really matter when the turtles are in syndication in the early 90s they were never in chronologically order

[@bensneb360]

It’s over a decade later, the 2012 series and 1987 series both have complete box sets, yet 2003 still doesn’t… Now that is chronically confusing lol

[@PowerPuffBoysZ]

actually 2003 does have a complete box... in russia of all places

[@SwiftyStardust]

Yeah, that's dumb. I think it's on Paramount+ though.

[@DorkSoulss]

yeah maybe cause of the... content of said series. 2003 tmnt got a bit dark at times.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@DorkSoulss I doubt that's the reason because most of the episodes are on DVD even the darker ones.

[@KootenaiKing]

@@SwiftyStardust yep I watched that series recently.

[@EdmondDantes224]

This is a trip to watch in 2023. Especially now that both the 1987 series and the 2003 series are available complete on DVD. That said some of the issues mentioned here are still legit, like the whack episode order for the 1987 series.

[@pixarfan939]

The year is 2023 and we now FINALLY have complete box sets for the 1987 series, the 2003 series, and even the 2012 series. Took them long enough.

[@benjaminboudreau2675]

I'd say

[@JeffersonLaTrump]

just waiting for Rise and everything will be released physically ❤

[@Victory-in-YAHUSHA]

The quality of the TMNT 2003 dvd complete series is bad. The best way to view the 2003 series are the digital versions.

[@SgtScorpious]

@@Victory-in-YAHUSHAi wouldn’t exactly call the ‘87 series a shining example of consistent quality on the discs

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

I own all 3

[@Tasuke]

This one is one of my faves. And I bet James is super happy now that there's a complete series set, as well as a season 9, 10, and another set that I think was supposed to include all the missing episodes.

[@jonbourgoin182]

Even if that's true I'm glad it didn't stop him from putting out this video. I only followed James' content on KZbin so all this Cinemassacre exclusive stuff is new to me and still entertaining as ever.

[@Tasuke]

@@jonbourgoin182 Yeah, I'm glad he's putting these videos on KZbin too. I hope you enjoyed watching it!

[@hithere01]

@jonbourgoin182 Nah, they put the updated info in the description, which nobody reads.

[@Morgil27]

I can't speak for the other series, but now in 2023, the '03 show has _finally_ gotten a full, single DVD boxset containing the entire series.

[@HLHReviews]

Had to come back to this video after seeing that TMNT (2003) will be having a complete DVD set.

[@dest151]

I love physical media... and yet they want to get rid of it.. I'll keep my dvd, bluray collection. Thank you very much.

[@Psychokyuubi666]

I agree 100% I love my physical games & movies/ TV series. I take care of them the best I can, and if need be are 100% rip-able. I like digital media as well, but there are still issues with Digital-Only content. Like a persons WiFi not connecting,They somehow get locked out of their streaming accounts & PSN & XBL Accts. Etc

[@ProductionsFromBeyon]

Good thing we now have “the complete collection” (hopefully it has all of them, I actually haven’t looked into it)

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

It does you're all good

Thankfully things updated with the 1987 cartoon. Season 9 and 10 have been released with Once upon a Time Machine and Planet of the turtleoids. Season 3 dvds have been re released into one and now there exists a box set of the whole series.

[@grimTales1]

I wish Season 4 had been released in slimmer packaging

[@valdoggold]

This should’ve been a “You Know What’s Bullshit?” episode

[@trustno173]

Please note that this video, over a decade old, is a little outdated now as the complete 87 TMNT series has been released on dvd, though the 03 show DVD is still a problem. Also I happily am one of the few who own TMNT 03 season 2 part 2.

[@legacyofthe243]

Yeah b/c I have that entire OG 10-season collection sitting right in front of me 😆 I'm glad they finally corrected the wrong, at least for the '87 series.

[@wallygator92]

Now they are finally releasing the complete 2003 in one set.

[@robd1329]

Damn...has it been 10+yrs?? I remember trying to get these dvds one by one at ToysRus when they were new on shelves. Time fliessssss! Now we have a complete series box set. The 200x series was a Nightmare to get.

[@BlueWingedPanther12]

Did they finally release them all?

[@jadedheartsz]

@@BlueWingedPanther12 yup they finally released a complete box set in 2023, it was like a miracle.

[@dragondaveltd1992]

As for this year, Paramount Home Entertainment has announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 series are coming out on DVD including the entire seasons and in complete order, Turtle-Power! I would love to see both 1987 series and 2003 series comes out in the UK physical markets.

[@pointless529]

I am so glad we’re now getting repackaged DVDs of entire shows now. I heard that they released the full 2003 series on DVD last month.

[@yesjamesin]

I always loved how pissed he got about the dvd set looking like a pizza box

[@kml-animation]

If you want to be really chronologically confused, try finding every Looney Tunes cartoon on physical media (or any media for that matter lol)

[@pkkingcrimsonrequiem1332]

Only about 300something out of the 1,000 (yes it's exactly 1,000) made were ever released on DVD and beyond

[@211inprogress]

I thought how cool if I had them in 91, then I realised 📀 that would have been huge stack of VHS.

[@tank8285]

2:27 "Planet of the Turtleoids" 1&2 and "Once Upon A Time Machine" were released on DVD. I have it. Those episodes are on disc 23 of the "Complete Classic Series Collection" that came in a case shaped like the turtle van. While the episodes are wildly out of order, they are included. Edit: seasons 9 & 10 of the 1987 series are also included.

James has always had a way of explaining things that is polite enough to be simple, but doesn't insult your intelligence.

[@THEFORCEboston]

The OG 87 turtles has a complete collection box set. It looks like the Turtle Van. That has Seasons 9 and 10 on it, and every episode is in order.

[@anthonyness5360]

It's crazy that you can watch the WHOLE 2003 show on KZbin. 😂

[@chuckhackett4493]

Actually there is a way to get all 10 Seasons, if you're lucky to find the complete series that comes in a case that is shaped like the turtle van.

[@AJPlanet74]

After this dvds 9 and 10 came out...season 10 included missing episodes from season 5

[@oldmighty15]

6:16 "What the Shell is going on?"

[@gftyhify]

One thing he didn’t mention about volumes 2-6 is that they crammed 12 or 13 episodes onto one disc which is a bit much as it means having to Compress the episodes thereby effecting the picture quality somewhat especially with the scenes with fast paced animation. Also the season 4 set for the 2003 series didn’t have all episodes from that season. Only the episodes that were not on the season 3 volumes

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Well to be fair the whole complete series has been released on DVD in one set. But I don't know if it's divided in seasons. It's available at Walmart. Good review and cool video James!👉😃👈 Question:Are the latest seasons going to be released on Blu-Ray? When?

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

I wonder if he knew that was going to happen if he would have bought all the DVDs that he did.

[@wallygator92]

This video is so outdated. Now we have the complete 1987 series on DVD and we're finally getting the complete 2003 series on DVD.

It says 2011 on the title

[@zeebooboo9663]

And now Paramount did a release of the '87 show, only for that release to ALSO be the Lionsgate release from before.

Update From The Future: The 1987 series finally has a complete box set with all 197 episodes!

I love watching this in the year 2023 realizing that I have it easy because I'm able to get all ninja turtles series on DVD the 1987, 2003, and 2012 series all at once on Amazon

[@Grimlock16joey]

Thank goodness the 2000 series is getting released as a combo full set.. we will see if screwed up order

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Just curious but do you plan to cover other 80’s tv shows like Heman and the Transformers for example?

[@JustinEvitable80]

Reminds me of the X-Men (90's version) DVD Volumes. When Season 3 started, many episodes were out of order and they decided to release the DVDs the same way. So some Season 3 episodes are in Volumes 4 & 5. You have to do your research to find out which episode occurs before/after others.

[@Fsan6275]

Over a decade later, all of the tmnt shows are out on dvd in complete series sets.

I have the complete classic series collection i purchased from Best Buy in 2017. That is in a fancy turtle van case with 23 DVD discs. In episode order. With the last 4 episodes after series 10 as well. This video reminded me of that purchase and i dug it out of my storage. Thank you for reminding me!

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

I love this video but I just think it's so funny that you can just buy them all in one set now. I purchased it last year and it really is an awesome set.

[@skorn8112]

It was nice season 10 released the missing episodes on there. Otherwise, the only way to see once upon a time machine was if you owned the vhs tape of the Turtles Easter special.

[@o.bfanboy]

And the episodes still aren't in the right order

[@drstrangehome]

What about the turtle van box set of the original series?

[@johnghoul7542]

I've seen a classic TMNT boxset that's in a turtle van & it says all 10 seasons 23 disc so idk

[@bobjeezorham7658]

I never understood why they couldn't seem to just get the episode order right for the 2003 and 1987 TMNT series DVDs, its gotta be a real pain to go through those and try to find out which is which rather than just being able to watch it all in order right away. As someone who's always been a big fan of the 2003 TMNT series I'm sad that the DVDs are so inaccessible...at least I can watch through streaming services but having it physically would be great.

[@christopherjordan6235]

[@SpikeJet2736]

the 03 dvds remind me of those anime dvds from around the same time that would also just put 4 or 5 episodes on there. I wanna say that was intentional since the 03 series takes alot of visual cues and influences from anime so maybe they did it as an homage to that but they would be giving them too much credit

I wound up making my own DVD sets, buying the different volumes and buying multi-disc DVD cases and printing custom covers. For the 80s show, the 03 show, and the '12 show. Then.... Complete boxed sets of the 80s and '12 shows came out. I bought those. Hopefully the 03 show gets a complete boxed set release one day.

Thankfully that Problem with 87 series is resolved with a Big Purple Box Set with all The Seasons in Every Disk! Put into together. But Season 1 Disk still has the Problems of Jumping to Season 10 Early with the Episodes. Better makes plans what your aiming for based on the list and Move Forward, Turtle Power! Sadly theres no Complete DVD Boxset for all TMNT 03 Series, But Only on Bluray!

big fan of the original 80s tmnt cartoon series

[@TheNightstalker80]

Wow I'm glad I never felt to collect these DVDs lol. But I got some other shows on DVD and it's always a mess. I don't know about the US but here in the EU they like to do different collections of the same show. Also it's a pain buying single seasons while a show is still running, it's usually better to wait until the end end then buy a collection because they are usually more consistent... usually ... lol

[@ottone2863]

When they pull episodes it's generally because back in the day sa censorship used to rule in the concept of suggestive information and information that was conducive to certain types of behaviors and because of that like where I live in Indiana we didn't get a lot of movies or video games and we got most of them and when we did get them they were different Like I've seen some movies recently that reality we got a totally different version of that movie in my state
