This is one of the original G.I. Joe releases for DVD. Originally Rhino Video did G.I. Joe, Transformers, Transformers: Beast Wars, etc. till they seem to have went belly-up. So the G.I. Joe Rhino collection never made it past Season Two Set One. As to the video it looks fine on my Sharp Aquos LCD and even better when sent through a DVD upconvert player like my Panosonic DVD Upconvert Recorder. The episodes are a bit long in the tooth; seriously watch a episode and count how many lazer blasts and exploding vehicles there are. But never a death. Ahh, apparently being a kid that didn't phase me but reading the G.I. Joe comics too where characters actually were injured or died it's a bit of a come-down from the pathos factor. OK, so here is the answer of wether to buy or pass on this set. The extras are mundane but OK. The video is fine but I hear the new G.I. Joe re-issues are nicer. So why buy? If you are like me and owned Rhino's 2 disk mini-series collection and G.I. joe Season One Set One then you want this one because it's complete the first season and then wait for the reissues on Season two to come or rebuy all of your first season DVDs. The reissues just don't have all of the eps in the right order to match up to the old Rhino releases and if you just buy Season One Volume One from the reissue you will be missing episodes. Mind you: THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU OWNED AND KEEP YOUR PREVIOUS RHINO VIDS AND TRY TO COMPLETE THE ISSING HALF OF THE SEASON WITH THE REISSUES.Read full review
This was just a fun action-packed series. The animation was also top-notch. Other 80's cartoons also had some great animation too: TRANSFORMERS, HE-MAN, THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS, and I enjoyed them, but when watching GI JOE I am always amazed at the smoothness on all the great characters as well as the numerous vehicles that were used in the show. If you watched this show as a kid, you'll still enjoy it today. It's a nice escape from the stress and reality of the real world.
I used to watch this cartoon when I was little and it is still as good as I remember it to be!! Recommend purchasing for your home collection if you love the good old fashion cartoon GI JOE! GOOOOOO JOE!!!
G.I. Joe Season One Part Two was an excellent addition to my colection. I like the fact that the episodes are complete and exciting. I decided to buy the series, because it is extremely rare and hard to find in stories.
I like the Rhino version because it has Dolby Digital 5.1. It sounds great if you a system for your TV. If you don't have a system just get the new G.I. JOE from Shout Factory.
