Since it's made clear in the beginning of this DVD that most of these shows could not be restored properly, there's a good chance this is the only way we'll be able to see them in all of their glory. And for someone who recalls a great amount of the eighties animated series from his childhood, this was a cute re-visit in to a decade filled with the utterly absurd and outright abysmal in animated programming. These shows will likely never receive a proper boxed set, so this is good enough. One of my favorite entries in this anthology is "Chuck Norris: Karate Commandos" a show I recall quite well and now can look fondly on with slight bouts of laughter after the cult icon Norris has managed to become. Like Rambo, GI Joe, and Karate Kid, "Chuck Norris" is a superhero of many facets who leads a team of racially diverse superheroes fighting against the generic forces of evil who he battles with enough force that's socially acceptable and dodges violent repercussions at all costs. The only episode features Chuck and his crew fighting Deadly Dolphins.

There's also the obvious exploration of the fact that just about every sports star and television icon had their own animated show at one time or another. From Gary Coleman to Mr. T, no one was beyond having their own animated adventure series in the vein of "Johnny Quest," and it's quite entertaining if you can deny that these shows are almost unwatchable. Disc two fares better with episodes from Dragon's Lair, Thundarr the Barbarian, and master Tex Avery's final work "Kwiky Koala." Not to mention there's an utterly surreal show called "The Monchichis" that I've admittedly never heard of. I'm disappointed we didn't see a single episode of "Flintstone Kids" since the images from the series are on the box, but I guess we'll have to wait for Volume 2. I honestly don't see anyone beyond collectors buying these box sets, because the whole relevance and context behind these quick cash-ins will severely be lost on kids today.

If you can push the fact that these shows are utterly horrible then you could have a damn good time remembering when Mr. T was the coolest person in the world, Ed Grimley was a comedic gold mine, and Chuck Norris not an inside joke among internet nerds. And what in god's name is a Monchichi?
