"The Eds Are Complete?" - Gondarth's Video Memories - Episode 89

[@Gondarth]

​I'd like to dedicate this review to those crazy voices in my head who first told me to review Space Jam and now this. They can't be stopped!!! 🤣

[@DavidDoom95]

I've never seen your DVD recording of a phone-in show airing on TV Before?

[@Gondarth]

I found it recently while looking for footage that would support my point about basic DVD recordings having chapter skip functions.

[@itsjayden8002]

1:40 The entire series+movie were released in Thailand almost a whole decade before it was released in America. We don’t even have the movie or all the specials on DVD yet!

[@FA2012YT]

Hi, I'm glad your back

[@nicheofwatching]

The temporary return of the king!

[@ItsMeJamieB]

Nice to see you back, even if it is just for the one vid G, like yourself and many others I'm a massive Ed,Edd n Eddy fan, I'm a little younger but I've been a fan for over 20 years and it is my favourite animated TV show of all time, easy, I do agree with your review though fantastic the show I love has finally got a collection for it but to call it complete when it isn't? I myself can live without the specials, movie would of been nice, but when I saw this announced I didn't expect the movie to be included, overall I myself would get it but at the prices I've seen. nooooo. Great vid either way though man!

[@Gondarth]

Thanks. Yeah, I struggled on whether to give it 2 or 3 out of 5. I love the series, and the DVD set does provide all the normal episodes... but it costs 50 bucks minimum with a misleading title and an overall smell of cheapness. It would need to be cheaper or have better presentation to get anywhere near a 4...

[@ItsMeJamieB]

I would get it just for the normal episodes, but the hefty price tag just threw me straight off, if it becomes cheaper at some point in the future I might get it. I'd say 3 is about right for the review

[@Gondarth]

I say wait until either the price drops to about $30, or they release something with every episode and maybe the movie. Whichever comes first.

[@MikeNicholsonThomas]

Ladies and gentlemen, the Video Memories have returned.

[@Gondarth]

Those pesky inner voices of mine, they have magical powers 🤣

[@BaboDex]

5:24 Warner Bros has that same sort of style for all their newer TV show releases on DVD, just take a look at the Rick & Morty sets, and it’s just like that.

[@Gondarth]

Cheap and lazy with simple repackaging from previously available releases? Lame.

[@BaboDex]

@@Gondarth nah, the menu design is what I am saying is the same with the newer Warner Bros DVDs, they’re so simple and bland.

[@Gondarth]

@@BaboDex Oh super. I'm in the mindset where the menu presentation shows how much care is put into a product. It can either be full of love and passion, it can be decent and passable, or it can be a cashgrab.

[@EntertainmentKorner]

I agree. Such little effort on top of being incomplete AND they're charging a fortune. It's a no-go from me. I'll only pick it up if I find it for $20 or less.

[@itsjoshua2508]

Amazing!

[@NathanSimpsonnathanisbeast]

Have you heard that “Duck Dodgers” is actually coming out on Blu-Ray too???

[@Gondarth]

I did. That was a surprise. That's not a show I expected, especially for a Blu-Ray release. Shame the Eds never got the HD treatment.

[@NathanSimpsonnathanisbeast]

@@Gondarth yeah, maybe if DD succeeds, we might get the other post 2002 Looney Tunes shows on Blu-Ray! I’d pay to see the 2011 one on it just for Kwesi Boyake as Gossamer!

[@TVManiac_01]

4:34 I'm curious of the DVD recording stuff you own. I'm very interested in UK TV so even down to recordings that are partial or incomplete or don't have continuity and ads interest me.

[@TVManiac_01]

My interest in uk tv even goes to the fact a 5 sec clip of uk gold on a CN tape pleased me lol

[@Gondarth]

I don't actually own much on recordable DVDs. I primarily used them to make DVDs of old videos I made about 15 years ago. Things I would want to keep forever 🤣 The quiz show you see at 4:34 is a show called Quiz Call, a notorious phone-in show that had a good share of controversies. It's a terrible show, but for some reason, I was fascinated by it and would sit for hours and watch. The show I recorded was actually their last show from August 2009.

[@matthwe3468]

Considering the long wait it's a wonder we got a semi-complete release at all. That being said I totally agree with you about the incompleteness and the price. Somebody was very slapdash in getting this together. Still I'm sure it's nice to have.........

[@Gondarth]

Oh it's definitely nice to have, especially after all these years... That being said, it's easily 20 bucks overpriced, not including shipping or taxes. For what they're selling it, I'd expect the missing episodes and the movie, maybe better presentation for S3-5 if I'm not pushing it.

[@matthwe3468]

@@Gondarth Yeah, I had to wait quite a while for Wacky Races to be on DVD. But it was well worth the wait. Despite having to wait 3 weeks for it to be shipped from the USA and the episodes themselves being the battered old tv prints, it's still a great set. As for the Eds they could still release the missing specials/movie and the missing episodes as bonuses. Who knows? I would keep my eyes peeled if I were you......

[@Gondarth]

@@matthwe3468 Oh absolutely, I'll be watching out for it. Hell, I'd take them showing up as bonus features on a Blu-Ray of the Big Picture Show. Saves all Ed fans buying a new DVD set.

[@matthwe3468]

@@Gondarth Likewise and considering that the Eds are no longer on T.v and cancel culture running rampant I'd hold on to your set complete or not.

[@legofan6595]

I got a question. Didn't you say you were done with KZbin?

[@Gondarth]

I did, and I thought I was. I have weird voices in my head and they told me to talk about this DVD set.

[@thethomasthetankenginechan4055]

Question: May i use your Nick jr party recordings for a 2 hour video where i combine them in one? I will mention you in the description.

[@Gondarth]

I mean, they'll be showing up on the Thomas TV Patrol channel at some point, but I have no real objection personally.

[@thethomasthetankenginechan4055]

@@Gondarth Ok

[@80sDisneyFan]

I'm not a special features type of person but this set is way too overpriced for a bare bones release (not counting the recycled discs from the first two seasons). Also what are your thoughts on these two things (that are somewhat related to each other): 1. Dr. Strangelove 2. The Criterion Collection

[@Gondarth]

Not being into special features is fair. I just think it would be nice to have a few things, even if it's just some Cartoon Network bumpers from the old days. I just wish we had something that wasn't the bland garbage that is the S3-5 discs. My mother is a Dr Strangelove fan. It didn't do much for me, although I haven't watched it in many years, probably close to a decade. As for The Criterion Collection, I know of them but I haven't actually seen much of what they've done. There's a Godzilla DVD set I think looks pretty good, but it costs a fortune. My wife will gladly own it 🤣

[@80sDisneyFan]

@@Gondarth Yea a lot of Criterion's stuff is overpriced but that's because they usually put a lot of effort into their releases.
