Did Universal licence the entire Krofft library? They're releasing the Pufnstuf movie as well...

^^It just kind of sucks that we're finally getting the movie, and the series is out of print. I was waiting for the movie to be released before I bought the series... I hope Universal releases the series as well....

To be honest, I'd pay for just a box set full of Krofft shows.
If Universal has access to Krofft properties, a lot of these series could fit on an entire DVD-18. You could have a box set consisting of Lidsville, Lost Saucer, Far Out Space Nuts, The Bugaloos, and H.R. Pufnstuf on something that only takes up a few discs.
The only full shows that were more than one season were Land of the Lost and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters (also currently in pre-production at Universal).
Side-note, I also might be the only 23 year old who know who Sid and Marty Krofft are.

I never realized that until now. I watched Land Of The Lost as a child, but I never saw The Brady Bunch until I was an adult. It had never occurred to me how errily similar they look until now.

Well, IMNSHO, the original 70s series is the only good one. And, as I'm a child of the 60's and 70's, metal lunchboxes are the ONLY lunchboxes, lol. At least from an "inner child" pov. Plastic lunchboxes?!? I remember thinking "Jesus, how fucking lame are those?!?" And I was right.
I'm in for this.

I agree with everyone on this thread who has trashed the original poster, Grundle! How dare he tease us with his thread title! When I visit a thread (especially one that's titled with a question) I expect facts not opinions! And fact: this is not the coolest DVD packaging I've ever seen.

Anyone pick this up? I haven't seen any reviews for this set anywhere. How does it compare with Rhino's version?

I have the original Rhino releases of this series.
I was hesitant to sell them as they have several
good extras. Kathy & Wesley commentary's are
very cool. Does this release have any dvd extras?
Or just a remake of the original luchbox???

Geez, that's one long intro credit sequence. I remember watching this show as a kid when it first aired and even then I knew it stunk - both in the writing and the effects. Haven't seen it since, but I must say, those terrible effects sure look more fun now in a goofy retro sort of way then they did at the time.

I was jizzing in my pants until I actually entered this thread. Talk about anticlimactic when you see the actual "packaging".

I think Best Buy had a bunch of single seasons of shows that came in lunch boxes last year like Leave it To Beaver, The Partridge Family, etc. Maybe I'm delusional, though.
