"Tune In Next Week...."
I orginally missed this series during its TV broadcast days, but was already a big fan of the three Flash Gordon serials and the Alex Raymond comic strip. So when it became available as a DVD release I was anxious to see how well it stacked up to previous Flash Gordon incarnations. I was very pleasantly surprised. The series is very well made and, unlike the current Sci Fi channel Flash Gordon "in name only" TV show, provides very much the same excitement and adventure as the original source material. It is very much like watching an old time serial, as each chapter leaves the viewer hanging and anxious to watch the next episode.

"Still a classic"
These DVDs are great! Every episode is fun to watch. Although by today's standards its not the best out there, the stories and action still hold up well. If anyone ever enjoyed watching this series when they were young, this is a must have.
For sci-fi fans who never got to watch the show, I highly recommend enjoying it now that its available. Many times we forget how good an older show was/is until we go back and watch it again.
It may have a slight "Saturday Morning Catoon" feel to it, but that's what it is. That's what Flash Gordon was/is based upon to begin with. An old episodic serial at the movies.
One of the most enjoyable things about the series is that you don't need to wait until next week for the cliffhangers to be resolved.
Its just a great show, well worth watching.

"The New Adventures of Flash Gordon - The Complete Series"
I just found out recently one of my all time favorite cartoons was available on DVD. This is one kickbutt cartoon and a must for anyone that loves Flash Gordon and sci fi cartoon animation at it's best. You can't go wrong with this cartoon and the shots of some of Ming's ships getting hit in the same place, hardly spoils this for me given it was made back in 1979. The facial expressions are the actual actors who did the voices and makes this cartoon special.

"A Cartoon GEM!"
Very awesome DVD set. I have been searching for this series on DVD for years and years and I am happy that Filmation has finally put out such a fine series. This was the best of the best in cartoons during the 80's. I loved this show as a kid and still enjoy the rich annimation, excellent stories (at least the 1st season) and serious storylines (except for the 2nd season). Excellent voice acting matched with awesome visuals make this series jump right out of the newspaper serials that Flash Gordon was known for. I give this 5 Stars and note that any serious collector of Flash Gordon items or of the animated series/cartoon MUST have this for their collection. This is what the 80's movie should have been!!!!

"One of the best cartoons to ever air on T,V,"
Ever Saturday at 11:00am the world came to a stop(at least in my house) and I was propeled into an adventure beyond the stars on the planet Mongo as Flash and company battled the evil Ming in the hopes of saving Earth.
With a look of a big screen movie, this show set a bar for animation that T. V. still has yet to equal. The scripts were very good and hold up very well today. My boys have watched this with me and love it. I only hope that they release more of the old Saturday morning cartoons on DVD, they would make a nice counter point to the sad state of children's show that they try to pass off to us as good for the kids. This is one the whole family can watch and enjoy.
