About time for I loved watching the series on Saturday mornings.
Oh heck yeah! this show was the best and i'm so happy to be able to finally watch it again!!
This is a great blog, Erick. Keep up the good work.
I loved the "Monster Squad" as a kid. Can't wait to see the dvd release. I used to have a bop-a-bag of the Frankenstein monster from this show, as well as the board game.
Saw an unofficial dvd with some episodes at the Cinema Wasteland show last weekend and was tempted to grab it to tide me over until the official release. But I decided to wait to get the good copy.
Erick, I have a question for you that I would rather ask via email. Can you drop me a line? I'm a librarian at Cleveland Public Library and my email medalby AT gmail.com - thanks in advance!
