Dennis The Menace: Volume One - 33 Episodes

Dennis the Menace, a classic cartoon series inspired directly from the classic Comic, is finally available on video thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment and DHX Media, with 33 1/2 hour episodes for a runtime of 8 hours and 7 minutes.The Video Quality is good, but you can tell it's transferred directly from a Video Tape, as the colors, though varied and colorful, tend to bleed into each other slightly, as video is known to do, compared to a remastered and newly cleaned update as with other cartoon series. Even so, it's better to have this series as it was broadcast back in the 80's, than nothing at all.The 33 episodes are split up into 3 discs, spindled neatly onto a patented new DVD disc design that locks in tight, one disc on top of the other (be careful and remove them one by one, pressing in on the center to avoid scratching or damage to the discs). About 11 episodes each disc and they look good considering that fact. Likely double layered DVDs. Also included are 3 bonus Umigo Music Videos, unrelated to this show.If you're familiar with the comic or the live action black & white TV show from the 50's or so, you'll know the set up of each episode: Dennis visits his "Greatest Friend in the whole wide world, Mr. Wilson!" Much to the regret of Mr. Wilson, who usually ends up in the hospital after Dennis the Menace gets through with him, innocently unaware at the havoc and punishment he gives to poor Mr. Wilson. Thankfully, there is plenty of adventure and antics that take place all around the neighborhood, and not just in one location.One of the Funniest episodes is when Dennis leaves his skateboard on the porch and Mr. Wilson steps outside, right onto it. Barrels of slapstick comedy reminiscent of The Three Stooges at times, ensues and is made even more hilarious thanks to the oblivious nature of Dennis, who has no idea he's causing Mr. Wilson such grief.A great cartoon show finally returns to video. If you're a fan of Heathcliff the Cat, Dennis the Menace (from this 1986 series) includes plenty of slapstick comedy the likes of which is hard to find these days. Buy it!

I wanted to wait until I actually received the product and viewed it before making a review. If you know anything about Mill Creek Entertainment then you will not be surprised with this product. This is the usual Mill Creek offering. Instead of the paper sleeves you get all three discs on top of each other. All I do is buy a 3 prong DVD case and change the cover. Nothing is remastered or enhanced at all. If I had to describe the quality of this I would say that this is exactly what you get when they played it on the Boomerang channel. No HD but it is very clear and it looks really good on my HDTVs. Be happy with this. It's clear, cheap and you get 33 episodes on 3 discs. Don't get all bent out of shape if you think there are too many episodes on one disc. I never do. If it's not remastered and cleaned up why would you really care? A DVD can fit more than eleven 20 minute episodes and still have good quality. I make my own all the time and I put no less than twelve episodes a disc. It really only depends on the source material as far a quality is concerned. As long as it's clear and I can watch it then I'm good. I hope they finish this series. It's Dennis the Menace folks. A cartoon from 80's and it is fun for all ages. Good old fashion family fun for boys and girls.

I'm loving when Cookie Jar, and now DHX Media, took over the DiC library amongst others. The result is they've been steadily releasing those libraries on DVD, some for the first time. I love it.Despite it being a bare bones release, this DVD is a great trip down memory lane. The familiar theme song, the characters, right down to the classic voice talents of the late Phil Hartman. The episodes are not in high definition, with there being so many crammed onto each disc, but you know what? They don't need to be. When this show first aired there was no such thing as HD, and the quality is no more diminished than if you were watching the show freshly in 1986. I feel that only adds to the nostalgic quality of the presentation.If you loved the show, you can't go wrong with picking this up. It will bring back memories.

This has been a long time coming I'm still in awe that this is even out I haven't been this excited since The Real Ghostsbusters cartoon release. This cartoon was really funny and the Dennis character kinda reminded me of myself when I was a kid (always had good intentions but things just get out of hand and that's when the fun begins) . I'm glad this is out on dvd and I hope it sells well because I want to get the second vol. which contains the rest of the series. I can't wait 5 stars all the way.

Another nostalgia buy -First, l now see that as an adult, if Dennis were your neighbor, no court would convict you of any action you may have against him, provided you have this disc as evidence.Second, you won't need more than one volume of this. This disc literally contains 99 adventures of Dennis The Menace (33 episodes x 3 adventures per episode). How could you possibly need more?Third, there are some complaints here on the quality of the video on the episodes. I distinctly remember the quality of the video as a kid being absolutely horrible when it originally aired in the 80's. This was an extremely cheap, daily syndicated kids cartoon. It wasn't until it became a Saturday morning cartoon on CBS that the animation quality improved.

Thank God this cartoon is back and now on DVD!!! Now I can relive the numerous episodes I used to love watching on tv when I was a kid. Love it!!! Great way to pass this on to my future kids!!!

Great collection. All original episodes in order it appears. These are true 33 half hour episodes which contain 2 or 3 minisodes each . Good quality images not remastered but not necessary. Only complaint if any Is they use the intro from the 90s version. If u want the 80s intro it's available on other dvds like "trouble trouble everywhere " or the uk release by jetix. This collection is the most complete so far and I look forward to volume 2. Thanks again to mill creek entertainment , they get my support.

I was so happy I find it and my daughter was so excited but unfortunately seller do not mention that DVD DO NOT work in UK, I send it back without any respond.We are very disappointing.

I like Dennis the menace shows. They a re not long episodes but there is alot of them. Dennis is always pushing buttons whether they are real or mr. Wilson's he's always causing a problem but sometimes good comes from them. Dennis likes to help out but his help usually ends up a mess for the other person usually me Wilson. Overall they are real good

Should be made clear will not play on British DVD players therefore useless

Classic cartoon show!
