I'm glad I was able to finally get the second season of this wonderful series and while many kids today probably would never believe it this cartoon series was a lot more popular than many high hitting t.v. shows in the 80's. Many of the stories and situations they would do in the episodes will of of course not make much sense to kids today like the Soviet Unions G.I. Joe version team which had a serious dislike for each other since the U.S.S.R has been gone for about two decades and other smaller things that were going on in the early 80's, The video and audio for this set was very good considering the condition the originals were probably in and the added extras are a nice touch as well. This box set also pretty much ends the turn of the series as well as the movie that came out saw the end of the 80's series run pretty much, yes I know they have made a few new shows of this but none of those will ever match the entertainment and quality of the 80's original series. Sadly this set will be the last episodes of the beloved 80's version of G.I.Joe as after episode 95 they made the G.I.Joe movie that would showcase the last time the voice cast would do their character roles, of course there was an attempt to restart the series in the 90's with just the actor who did the voice for Cobra Commander Chris Latta but that didn't really take with the fans of the beloved 80's version. And while there have been newer versions of this beloved series I like I'm sure many other fans of the original series have never really bothered to look at these newer attempts at remaking a great earlier version, So for the kids of the 80's here's a great box set that has finally come out for us to enjoy....

I am so excited that GI Joe is on DVD & have added it to the list of DVDs I have purchased of cartoons from my childhood! The 1980s was the best decade to be a kid in!

If you like the old cartoons like thundercats and transformers, then you'll love G.I. Joe. It's easier to appreciate how awesome the cartoon is when you watch it as an adult because a lot of the ridiculousness that escaped you as a child is very obvious now. I would recommend this show to anyone and the dvd copies are great as far as audio and video. G.I. Joe is a true classic that will probably be enjoyed forever. It is certainly better than any cartoons that currently air and fits the old saying of 'they just don't make them like they used to'.
