What our customer's say!

"Finally Freakazoid", We have waited for a very long time for Freakazoid to be released on DVD. We have watched the first season 3 times and laugh just as hard every time. Can't wait for the further seasons to be released.

"Perhaps best for young teens", Freakazoid was part of the animation revival of the mid 90's. It was animation targeted to a slightly older audience, utilizing more complex animation techniques including many visual and textual homages to the entertainment that preceded it. The one thing that Freakazoid does not have, in general, is a plot. It is almost entirely a vehicle for interesting ideas, jokes, and parodies, with no attempt to weave them into a cohesive whole.

In many ways this is a good thing, unless the target audience are young children. I believe that young children require a beginning, middle, and end. Small children also emjoy simple themes and repetition. Which is to say that Freakazaoid, like much of the animation of the mid 90's, is targeted more for what we now call tweens and older, and in this way it was far ahead of it's time. There is nothing in the content inappropriate for small children, but I think that most simply will not get it. This is a departure from much of what Amblin created at the time, so it is an interesting tidbit.

To the DVD itself. The fourteen episodes are on one single sided dvd and one double sided DVD, so when the second DVD ends, flip it over. There is some commentary, most of it very good, and nothing I heard should be objectionable to most parents. The transfer seems to be of good quality. The only issue is that the subtitles do not seem to run during the comentary.

Two minor negatives. The first DVD starts with an anti-piracy advertisement which includes footage from the Wizard of Oz. It begins with a shot of the Wizard, which was disconcerting to me. I can't imagine what young kids would think of it. Second, the packaging is made of a plastic does not seem to as tough as the regular DVD case. Mine broke during shipment, and at some point small pieces of plastic broke off, so keep it away from the very young children.

"Finally...The Freak is back!", In 1995 I was only nine and woke up diligently for my Saturday morning cartoons. Being something of an oddball kid from day one I took a fond interest in Steven Spielberg's work. "Tiny Toons", "Animaniacs", and "Freakazoid". His series' harken back to the original "Looney-Tunes" while being fresh, new, and hilarious no matter what your age. "Freakazoid" was probaly the greatest work of them all, a true 'diamond in the rough'.

I'll spare the commentary on the plot's basis and skip right on to the package itself. This two disc collection is completely stuffed full of greatness with commentaries, behind-the-scenes, and the original advertisement Promos (which I remember seeing as a kid). All in all they made sure to cram everything the fans of Freakazoid wanted. My only real issue with the whole set is that the second disc is a dual-sided DVD which is very prone to scratches. I've taken precautions to prevent it but I think that it was a gross oversight to keep costs down. Also be careful to check your DVD case when you get it. Shipping can sometimes dislodge the discs in this case as well as (in my case) break the teeth holding the second disc in place. Luckily there was no damage but keep that in mind.

My vote: If you liked "Tiny-Toons" or "Animaniacs" even in the slightest the complete first season of "Freakazoid" delivers everything that will have you rolling with laughter for hours. So, what're you waiting for, the Horn of Urgency? BUY IT!

All in all: a big freakin' 9 out of 10!

"Freakin' Fantastic", Although I originally bought this DVD for my husband, my six-year old daughter loves it! We really enjoy watching it together. There is a lot of humor that adults can appreciate. But, my daughter finds it hilarious. It is a great DVD.

"Hilarious show... subpar DVD", I'm finding it challenging to accurately "star" this review because I am frankly overjoyed to be able to own this gem of a show on DVD.

THE SHOW: First the good news: The show is hilarious. Rating the DVD on the episodes alone I'd give it a 5 of 5. Some of the humor is decidedly childish, and alot of it relies on a knowledge of the events and culture of the mid-1990s, but when it hits it can be side-splittingly funny. The extended lament on the loss of the aerial tram at Disneyland has made me laugh for over a decade.

The quality of the shows voice acting is consistently excellent, with inspiring performances by Ed Asner, Ricardo Montleban, David Warner, Paul Rugg and others.

The animation quality is on a par with quality Warner TV animation at the time. It comes off as a hypbrid of the styles of Batman: The Animated Series and Animaniacs.

THE DVDs: Now the bad news. This is not a lovingly restored animated show. In fact, compared to a number of other 2-D animated features I own on DVD the show looks downright awful. Noise and artifacting are rampant throughout the discs. It looks worse than a standard def television broadcast of the same material, which is truly a shame.

On a more positive note, the commentary on 3 episodes is very entertaining and the original promotional spots (which I don't remember ever seeing on TV at the time of the shows airing) are a hoot.

SUMMARY: Great show, poor transfer, average special features. I hope it says alot about the quality of the show itself that I will definitely still purchase Season 2 (a meager but rewarding 11 episodes) if/when it is released.

"Finally out on DVD", I've been looking for this for several years now. This has to be the best cartoon in years. Thank God they finally put it out on DVD!!!

"Can't wait 4 "Vorn the Unspeakable" in season 2!", Squeeeee! I am so happy they released this on DVD. I hope they release season two soon.

"DVDs at last!", The DVD itself isn't worth mentioning. If I were to rate this set on the merits of video quality and bonus content, it'd *maybe* rate a 3/5. The quality of the video isn't the nice, remastered stuff. This one, well, you'll see for yourself. It's not terrible quality, but it's not much better than if you were watching the show back when it first aired. The bonus content is about the same level - two little features and 3 episodes with commentaries (though I admit the commentaries were actually funny instead of the usual boring stuff).

In short, the four stars is mostly on the merits of the fact that this show finally made it to DVD. Sure, it may have been Emmy-winning at one point, but no one remembers it. People remember the Animaniacs and Tiny Toons, but this one has been lost in time, and it's not surprising considering the wackiness of the show.

Freakazoid is a fabulous cartoon, all sorts of crazy and zany. However, you're probably already aware of that if you're buying this DVD.

"Too Funny!", When a teen computer nerd named Dexter Douglas, with the help of his cat, types in a strange combination of letters and symbols on his keyboard followed by the delete key, he is sucked into the internet only to return a zany blue superhero in a tight red suit! As Freakazoid, Dexter defends Washington, D.C. against a rather unique gallery of rogues that includes The Lobe, Cave Guy, Longhorn, Guitierrez, Candle Jack, Cobra Queen, and more! Freakazoid's madcap style is part Robin Williams, part The Creeper, part The Mask, and channels Jerry Lewis quite frequently. He's a lot like a fourth Warner, if that Warner were a superhero. As a human, Dexter's still quite a nobody, but as Freakazoid, he hangs with Police Sgt. Cosgrove, drives a cool car, and has one of the hottest girlfriends I've ever seen, Stephanie, AKA Steff. However, all this stuff is only a small portion of the show. Most of your average Freakazoid episode is nonsensical comedy bits/skits ala Monty Python's Flying Circus. It's a lot like "Animaniacs", only much crazier! The result is a show that at times is just as funny as anything on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim without having to resort to R-Rated humor (or does that stuff pass for PG13 now? I guess it's TV14 or some boloney rating like that).

This 2 disc set is a great example of what certain OTHER studios SHOULD be doing with their beloved animated shows. Here is a show that has a fairly small cult following, yet WB has seen fit to give it a Season One set release complete with a nice crop of extras. Meanwhile, a big studio like Disney (which I for the most part LOVE as an obsessive Disney fanatic) with hugely popular shows like DuckTales gives us barebones releases of only a few of their titles and sometimes doesn't continue beyond the first season or season and a half if they don't think sales are high enough, and just reflects very little respect or appreciation for the material or the fans in doing so. This "Freakazoid" set provides creator commentary for 3 episodes that is a joy to listen to and provides great insight into what is on the screen. In fact, you'll wish every episode, or at least your favorites (which are bound to be different for everyone) had a commentary track. The set also offers a look at some curious promos for the show that give little clue as to what it's about, and there's even a great making-of featurette! Where is all this stuff on the TaleSpin, Darkwing, or Gummi Bears sets, Disney? At the very least, you'd think DuckTales would have had something...

The Steven Spielberg produced comedy show (which originally was going to be a Timm/Dini superhero show that was more hero than comedy, in the vein of Batman's Creeper) offers up 14 episodes in this Season One set, which consists of one single-sided disc and a second, double-sided disc. The episodes are as follows:

1. Five Day Forecast / Dance of Doom / Handman (optional commentary): This first episode is an absolute fave of mine. I'd call it the funniest of Season One, largely due to some zany improv work by the voice actors. Love it! The disturbing Handman bit that never ends when it should is hilarious too!
2. Candle Jack / Toby Danger in Doomsday Bet / The Lobe (optional commentary): Candle Jack is another really hilarious one, a supernatural villain who steals kids from a summer camp simply because, "He's a nut." Toby Danger is an extreme spoof of the classic Johnny Quest series, and The Lobe introduces one of Freakazoid's best villains, voiced by the always wonderful David Warner!
3. Mo-Ron / Sewer Rescue / The Big Question / Legends Who Lunch: Mo-Ron is an extremely annoying alien visiting Earth. British hero Lord Bravery attempts to prove his prowess by doing a reluctant sewer rescue. Some aging superheroes chat up a storm while they have lunch.
4. And Fanboy is His Name / Lawn Gnomes: Chapter IV: Fun in the Sun / Frenching with Freakazoid: A character many like but I find too annoyingly stereotypical gets introduced here, supernerd Fanboy. Still a pretty funny story though. Lawn Gnomes is a humorous spoof on Disney's Gargoyles, and Frenching with Freakazoid is a French lesson with the hero himself.
5. Foamy the Freakadog / Office Visit / Ode to Leonard Nimoy / Emergency Broadcast System / Cönversational Nörwegian: Freakazoid introduces us to one of his favorite failed sidekicks, Foamy the Freakadog. Lord Bravery tries to deal with copyright issues in Office Visit, and one of then comes one of the less funny bits of the show, when Fanboy gives us his Ode to Leonard Nimoy. Lastly, Freakazoid does an emergency broadcast test and gives us some instruction in Norwegian.
6. The Cloud / Candle Jack: In a Hitchcock spoof, a strange cloud in the mountains turns people into clowns. This one is most enjoyable to me because of a very personal Disneyland-referencing running gag. The second story in this episode is just a repeat of the fun Candle Jack.
7. The Chip: Part I: The fabulous origin story of Freakazoid is finally told!
8. The Chip: Part II / Freakazoid is History!: The fabulous origin story of Freakazoid is finally finished! Then, Freak spoofs Quantum Leap and travels back in time to stop the attack on Pearl Harbor!
9. Hot Rods from Heck! / A Time for Evil: Dexter's family has a highway run-in with the villainous Longhorn, and then the Huntsman, a Charleton Heston-like hero, is disappointed to find that there is nothing for a superhero to do when crime takes a break.
10. Relax-O-Vision / Fatman and Boy Blubber / Limbo Lock-up / Terror Palace: An encounter with the Lobe is repeatedly interrupted by the show's new feature, Relax-O-Vision, we meet a new superhero team that doesn't seem to be much help, Freak is subjected to the punishment of Fanboy's Disney sci-fi knowledge in the Limbo Lock-Up, and the Hunstman gets disappointed yet again.
11. In Arms Way / The Cloud: A Christmas shopping scene is disrupted when Freak encounters Arms Akimbo (after a delightful meeting with The Lobe). Then, a holiday-themed musical interlude, followed by a repeat of The Cloud.
12. Next Time, Phone Ahead / Nerdator (optional commentary): Steph looks hotter than ever in the background of an E.T. spoof where Mo-Ron returns as Bo-Ron (maybe they're two different idiots who look the same). Then, Freakazoid must save the world's nerds from a villain out to get 'em.
13. House of Freakazoid / Sewer or Later: Another fave of mine due to the subject matter, Lon Tallbutt (a great caricature of Lon Chaney, Jr.) seeks Freakazoid's help to cure him of his werewolf problem, and then Freakazoid must deal with his distaste for poo-gas when he has to go into the sewer to catch Cobra Queen.
14. The Wrath of Guitierrez: Finally, Guitierrez, a villain from the two-part Chip origin story, returns to exact his revenge on Freakazoid! Guitierrez is voiced wonderfully again by Ricardo Montalban.

The funny thing about the 1995 WB animated series "Freakazoid", and probably its downfall, is that the humor was really for a much older audience than the early Saturday morning crowd which was exposed to it. A few slightly older audience members with a never dying interest in animated shows are probably the ones who make up the Freakazoid cult-following today; those of us out there buying this great set. And we all hope the second and final season comes to DVD soon too! If you ever enjoyed Animaniacs, Monty Python, the Marx Brothers, or anything wacky, weird, random, and hilarious, you need to give Freakazoid a try!



"Completely amazing fall off the chair entertainment that stands the test of time", Though this set dates from 1995, most every joke is as hilarious now as it was when the series first aired.

The only downside is this is only season one, and I really wish they would have included the 11 series two episodes and had made it a "complete series" set, as Freakazoid! was moved around so much not only were the S2 episodes hard to catch, WB never reran them after they canned the show.

Anyone who enjoyed the "Hello, Dolly!" references in Wall-E will not be able to contain themselves should the season two episode "Dexter's Date" ever be released.

In the mean time, be sure to pick up this set; not only will you be laughing hysterically throughout the 13 season one episodes, good sales will convince WB there are enough fans to release season two.
