RIP-OFF!: I give this one star because I'm way more bent out of shape than the previous poster -- the theme songs and intros WERE THE WHOLE REASON I BOUGHT THIS DVD TO BEGIN WITH! Let's face it, none of these cartoons were well-written or animated like the classic shorts of the 20s-40s, they basically serve the sole purpose of being boomer-nostalgia. Lacking the parts we all remember best, this DVD is stripped of all charm. My baby girl even hates this stuff, so the DVD is totally worthless as nostalgia or entertainment for kids. Wish I'd have read the reviews before buying this. Don't waste your money. One last thought: I'm Jewish and that earlier post about these cartoons being anti-semitic is one of the stupidest things I've ever read in here. Hate this DVD for being a crappy rip-off, but let's not fabricate bigotry where none exists.
Its good to bring back memories of youth: I thought that the disc was great, considering that Cartoon Network rarely shows this anymore. It is somewhat incomplete with title cards missing, but it is still good fun. Not anywhere near racist or anti-semitic as cat-in-a-former-life said in her poor excuse for a review. She clearly has deep issues that need resolving. Its Underdog, not Fritz the Cat or South Park. She needs to remember waaaaay back to her own youth and not be so uptight.
Good, but could have been better: The quality of picture and sound are excellent, but because the cliffhanger episodes are chopped up and are not matched up with their theme songs, it is very cumbersome to navigate. It would have been much better had they kept the episodes in tact as they were origionally seen. Also, no person in their right mind should find Underdog offensive. The cartoon series is gentle and fun and being a teacher of small children, I wish children today had shows like this to watch on television!
A Jewish fan of Underdog: I recall as a child watching every episode of Underdog. my favorite episodes were the one's with Simon Barsinister and Riff Raff. also, as a Jewish person I see nothing anti-Semitic or racist in any of the Underdog episodes. the politically correct person who referred to Underdog as "racist/anti-semitic" is obviously the type of individual that probably sees everything as racist in society. in my humble opinion, Underdog was nothing more then a very entertaining cartoon for kids that was basically a spoof of superman with Sweet Polly Purebred representing Lois Lane.
"Underdog (Collector's Edition)": "Underdog" was definitely one of the best classic cartoons of all time. This is an excellent DVD. I LOVE "Underdog"! "Underdog" RULES!
