Gravy: #48 - The Greatest Man in Siam Loved it as a kid -- hope it holds up. BTW, when we first got a TV set, Woody Woodpecker was the first thing I watched on it. |

Well, the computers lost this one. I picked up the new Popeye set on Friday, which my local retailer had on the shelf eary, by mistake. Don't know how it got by the computer, but I wasn't going to complain. I just kept my eyes down and kept quiet, while the purchase was rung in. I have watched the first five Popeye cartoons, so far, and they look great. I also watched the first four with their commentaries (the fifth 'toon in does not have one) and found them informative and/or fun. There are commetaries galore, bonus cartoons and lots of featurettes on Popeye and cartoons in general. Come this Tuesday, I don't think any Popeye fans will be disappointed with this set. Highly recommended. |

Yesterdays (7/29/07) Washington Post had a fairly lengthy review of the DVD set and also a story on the Isis TV Series box set. These should be on their web site. |

Well, since the link does not appear to work, I guess you must be registered. Jazzy, what was their take on the Isis set? |

That's funny; it worked for me, unregistered, but then I registered anyway to read the Bergman obit. |

The Popeye DVD set is on its way to Rancho Yesteryear, but since everyone has spoken glowingly of the Woody Woodpecker collection I went ahead and ordered that one today as well...and this from someone who never really cared for Woody (I thought he was a tad obnoxious). |

Thanks, PP, I tried it again and it did work. I was able to read the Popeye review, but had to register to see any other reviews. |

Got the POPEYE Vol. 1 yesterday from Best Buy (in collectors tin). OMG! Incredible remastering! The b&w shorts are amazingly clear and pristine. It's amazing the elements from 1933 - 1938 are in such great condition! The two color features (I watched one "Ali Baba")look amazingly vibrant, clean and new. If you're a fan go out and buy it today! It's like they were made today! Regards, Beatle Bob
