Wacky Races: The Complete Series

We love wacky races, my son watched it several times already.

October 19 brings a promising release of Wacky Races, the series where many different characters compete in races in their custom cars. Sadly I dont think Cartoon Network plays these shows anymore so many kids may not know what this is. Adults will remember it though and it certainly is a show the entire family can enjoy. The characters: Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chugabug The Slag Brothers, Rock and Gravel, in the Boulder Mobile The Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe Professor Pat Pending in the Ring-A-Ding Covert-A-Car The Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer The Sarge and Private Meekly in the Army Surplus Special The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth in the Buzzwagon Dick Dastardly and Muttley in the Mean Machine The show follows a similar pattern: Dick Dastardly and Mutley cheat every way they can to win but never do, and Muttley always laughs about it. Different riders would win on each episode, often with dilemmas within the race (mostly caused by Dick Dastardly/Muttley). It is a simple but fun show that I loved watching and I am glad we are getting the complete series of 34 episodes on dvd. There look to be good extras included on here, and each episode has been remastered to look better than ever before. Amazon's price of $[...] is a steal for what you get so I encourage fans of 60s/70s animation as well as first-time fans to pick this bargain up. It is fun for the whole family, old or young. Episodes listing of the show: 1 See Saw To Arkansas 2 Creepy Trip to Lemon Twist 3 Why Oh Why Wyoming 4 Beat the Clock To Yellow Rock 5 Mish Mash Missouri Dash 6 Idaho A Go-Go 7 Scout Scatter 8 Free Wheeling to Wheeling 9 The Baja-Ha-Ha Race 10 Real Gone Ape 11 By Rollercoaster To Upsans Downs 12 The Speedy Arkansas Traveller 13 Rhode Island Road Race 14 The Great Cold Rush Race 15 Eeny Miny Missouri Go 16 The Super Silly Swamp Sprint 17 The Zippy Mississippi Race 18 Traffic Jambalaya 19 Hot Race At Chillicothe 20 The Wrong Lumber Race 21 Wacky Race To Ripsaw 22 Oils Well That Ends Well 23 Whizzin' To Washington 24 The Dipsy Doodle Desert Derby 25 Speeding for Smogland 26 Race Rally to Raleigh 27 The Dopey Dakota Derby 28 Dash to Delaware 29 Ballpoint Penn.

As advertised DVD Series. Quality is excellent.

This was a gift for someone for Christmas who enjoys all the old cartoon shows we watched when we were kids. He loved it.

When I found out that "Wacky Races" was out on DVD, I was thrilled with delight, because I haven't seen those cartoons in decades, so I ordered my own copy of it! I like all of the drivers & their cars, including Dick Dastardly & Muttley and the Mean Machine, especially when they cheat & something bad happens to Dastardly and Muttley laughs about it. I also like the creative names of the episodes (See-Saw to Arkansas, The Great Cold Rush Race, etc.). I also enjoy the special bonus features, especially the featurettes about the making of "Wacky Races" & the spinoffs, "Dastardly & Muttley & their flying machines" and "The Perils Of Penelope Pitstop". I definitely love how the set is packaged in full-color & the two foldouts containing a group photo of every single wacky racer. What really gets me laughing (and I'm sure it's the same for anyone who sees or has seen it) are the hysterical one-liners & puns in every episode. To sum it up in one word, this DVD set is terrific! I definitely love this DVD set and to anyone that's a fan of 60's/70's animation, Hanna-Barbera cartoons, or any cartoons, in general, I recommend that you buy this set, because, believe me, it is GREAT!

Loved watching these as a kid. Now I can share the oldies with my kids

Enjoy watching old cartoons and now want to share them with my kids. Growing up as a kid in the early 80's there was clean, funny characters with leaning lessons. Cheaters don't win.... The option for Closed caption would been great...

Wacky Races was something I grew up watching on the USA Cartoon Express in the 80s. As such, it became a cartoon I looked forward to seeing every week. The characters within the series are totally unique and no two are alike (though some are similar....Dastardly/Muttley) However, the premise of the cartoons were so simple that they were easy to be followed. Each week, the different racers would be racing from one part of the world to another. Similarly, each week, the characters had to put up with the cheating antics of Dick Dastardly and his assistant, Muttley.) Of course, in traditional cartoon fare, the bad guy usually lost. ;) This DVD Set did not fail to live up to my expectations. The cartoons are still as funny as they were back when I'd watch them on the USA Network. The characters are still as funny as ever: (as a side note, my favorite character was always Professor Pat Pending because he could do anything). The storylines are somewhat predictable with Dick Dastardly's plans always failing. However, compared to cartoons today that seem to rely on politics and/or grossout jokes and cutaway gags, Wacky Races is a nice breath of fresh air. It's also a really fun blast to the past. Just as a side note, the following were the cars I used to/still root for: Number 3: Professor Pat Pending in his Convert-A-Plane. Number 5: Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat Number 8: Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chug-a-bug

.... ottima la consegna e il prodotto perfettamente funzionante.... probabilmente sono io a non aver capito che tra le lingue in cui era possibile ascoltare i video non era presente l'italiano.....

Dick Dastardly's activities tells viewers that it does not pay to cheat. Who said Cartoons were babyish? Whacky race can be educational in a way. It portrays that it does not pay to cheat. Dick Dastardly would have won nearly every race if he did not waste his time cheating by stalling the other competitors.

This is a great cartoon series. It's just as good as I remember it. It still doesn't cease to amaze me that if only Dick Dastardly hadn't been so dastardly (spoiler alert) he'd have won the race each time!

génial cela est arrivé en tant et en heure merci et je recommande ce vendeur.

Muy interesante para los de la época.
