I think Wave 4 {while interesting} is a little bit of a letdown. If for no other reason than Wave 3 just seems to be an exceptionally strong release.

Well said. 90% of TV is crap these days, so Walt’s stuff is truly something to yearn for.
As for wanting all, I guess it would be nice. But I doubt that’ll happen. The wave 4 tin seems to be all the MMC we’ll ever see on DVD. And besides, not many people will want to pay $ for one MMC DVD set, much less all that $$$$$ for all eps (which is why it’ll likely have a number as low as Tomorrowland).
Hmm….I wonder if MMC episodes are pirated on the net (doubt that).
Also, were they filmed in just B&W or in color??

Rebel - on that I whole heartedly agree. This is much better than some forumla driven cartoon that's primary purpose is to sell kids cereal and action figures.

I think that is the best butchering of quotes, I have ever seen. I managed to get my post into quotes instead of Rebel's earlier post.

Then I think that's what the "Edit" button is for, Jimmy...
As for MMC, I'm still pretty unenthusiastic about it; not because I think it's "lame," or anything, it just doesn't catch my fancy. And I've only bought the Treasures that I
know I'll watch more than once. No use in spending $20-30+ on something I'm just not going to pop in that much, even
if it's part of a collection. LOL

Well, as a completist, I'm excited about all of the Treasures coming in December. Pluto will be excellent and go a long way to plugging the gaps in my shorts collection. Couldn't be MORE excited about MM in BW Vol. 2 since that's the really rare and rather controversial stuff. True-Life Adventures? Have to see the content, but I am looking forward to it.
Which leaves us with the Mickey Mouse Club. I frankly don't know how they plan on doing this. There is SO many episodes in the first season and DVD, cool as it is, does have limitations as to what can be crammed on to it. But I certainly don't want just scattershot episodes from throught the season AND I want them as originally presented. Don't cut anything or don't waste your time. That being said, wonder how they will handle the Newsreel segments as those DID change with subsequent reairings of the episodes.
Anyway, I'm just glad to be getting all this and am hoping for Donald II and Symphonies II in Wave 5!

Can't say that I'm too excited about this wave... but being the whore I am, I'll probably get all four anyway.
