I use Mac DVDRipper Pro to first create a disk image on my Mac of the DVD I'm ripping (saves wear and tear on the optical drive during the next step), then I use Handbrake to convert the cartoon shorts on the disk image to MP4 files. I'm still on iTunes (rather than the newer Music and TV apps)...

I'm happy to see any classic Hanna-Barbera title get released. I own all of the SD releases and have started collecting the HD Blu-Rays. Even so, I'm surprised at the titles that are getting priority for release on Blu-Ray. I would have put Space Ghost and both iterations of Josie and the Pussy...

I've been building my digital library for about 10 years now. I have nearly 7,000 animated shorts, tv shows, movies, and music videos that I have either purchased or converted from my physical media collection. I use iTunes to store, manage, and organize it all. While I appreciate the streaming...

One interesting advantage I've found to purchasing digital copies through iTunes is that Apple periodically makes upgrades from SD to HD available free of charge for previous purchases, as the various studios allow, and will apparently be doing the same with 4K titles as they become available...

Yes, I've noticed this on The Funky Phantom set, too. I've had mine for several years now, so it's not a problem with only the recently produced discs. I just assumed it was something built into the show itself when it was originally slapped together.

No argument there. I remember the original show. I was just pointing out the availability of the Grape Ape segments by themselves. I always prefer to collect complete shows myself, but I break up them up into individual shorts, bumpers, and titles when I bring them into my digital collection...

This is probably old information, but all 32 of the Grape Ape segments/installments are available on iTunes without Tom and Jerry. https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/the-great-grape-ape-show-the-complete-series/id1094394575

Very nice job! I have long been converting my discs over to digital files (at a fairly generous bit rate) and watch most of my collection via Apple TV these days. I've also started appreciating purchased digital downloads vs. hard copies, depending on the title, as owning a large collection...

A while back, I was elated to find Charley and the Angel on iTunes in HD. I agree that it would be best to have classics on disc rather than just digital, but looking at iTunes again today I'm seeing a number of the titles some of you are looking for and almost all of them are in HD. - Darby...

Interesting that the Wally Gator set on iTunes is not the Wally Gator Show (with Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har, Touché Turtle & Dum Dum shorts), but strictly all 52 Wally Gator shorts by themselves. Maybe this is consistent with other Hanna Barbera shorts on iTunes, rather than the way they...

Dogfather and Misterjaw are the final two to be released from the titles listed in Kino Lorber's original press announcement last year. They had initially said the titles would all be released in 2016, but they slowed down. Hopefully we'll see the last two released by the end of this year.

I hope the music issues have been corrected on this and future sets. I realize that Jay Ward's daughter swears they went back to the original tunes that Jay himself wrote and wanted in the series, but this is not the music we all remember airing on tv. Some bits they got right, but most...

I've collected all six of the Golden Collections so far and anxiously look forward to more Looney Tunes being released. I see no problem with them being released as single disc collections because each of the 4 discs in the GC's were typically devoted to an individual character or character...

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm definitely going to be getting this set when it's released.

Wow, I really hope this is the tv series I've been wondering about for years, but had no clue what it might have been called as I had only seen maybe an episode or two as a child back in the 70s. All I could remember was it being episodic, black and white, and in the horror vein. Now that I've...
