5.0 out of 5 stars CALLING ALL MONSTERS ! July 10 2009
By The Critic TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Walter played by (Fred Grandy) is a criminology student who moonlights as a night watchman in Fred's wax museum. Because nothing ever happens while he's on duty Walter constructs a "crime computer" to pass the time. Upon its completion Walter plugs in his new crime computer and something totally unexpected happens. Walter is overcome with excitement and he can hardly believe his eyes once he sees what has happened.

It appears that the oscillating vibrations from Walter's new super computer have brought to life three of the Museums most diabolical inhabitants. Three of the world's most feared & despised Monsters Dracula, the Werewolf and Frankenstein are now back amongst the living and they have Walter and his crime computer to thank for it. The Monsters with the help of Walter will now try and make amends for their past misdeeds by joining together with one another to form the "Monster Squad" as they set out to fight crime. The "Monster Squad" has brought back some great childhood memories for me and I'm glad I bought the set. The show benefited from some great guest characters and memorable costumes and it's too bad it didn't last longer.

The Monster Squad television series ran for one season in 1976 creating 13 episodes during its brief run. Thanks to Fabulous Films / Virgil films for releasing the "Monster Squad" complete series on DVD. All 13 episodes are included on two single sided discs with great disc packaging and awesome disc artwork. According to rear of the package the episodes have been completely restored for this DVD release and in my opinion the quality of both picture and sound is really decent. There is some noticeable grain in some of the episodes but they're still better than anything I expected. There isn't an episode booklet included however the Episode Synopsis do appear on the inside of the DVD case, but you have to remove the discs to see them.

4.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY!! Mar 30 2009
By S. Schwetman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Not to be confused with the 80s movie of the same name, "The Monster Squad" was a fond memory from my childhood. This 70s NBC Saturday morning show featured a pre "Love Boat" Fred Grandy as Walt, a night watchman at
a Hollywood-type wax museum who was also a criminology college student during the day. He built a "Crime Computer" to monitor police activity during his shift. The computer somehow brought to life the statues of the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula, and the Wolfman(not Laurence Talbot, but Bruce WW. The initials stood for WereWolf). To make up for past misdeeds, the three use their unique abilities to fight crime. The show featured "special guest villians" like Marty Allen, Alice Ghostly, Jonathan Harris, amoung others. If the show reminded you of the 60s "Batman" tv show, that's because both shows were produced by the same people. I can't wait for this DVD, and I still think an updated version of this show would work today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected! Jun 25 2009
By US PhotoGuy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The last time I saw "The Monster Squad", I was seven. I couldn't remember much about the show other than I liked it at the time and I was bummed when it went off the air. I was thrilled to find that over 30 years later it was finally being released on DVD. Without hesitation, I ordered it. I wasn't expecting the show to be very good, or the transfer to look decent. To my surprise, the show isn't bad (though clearly aimed at kids), and the transfer is excellent. If you're even thinking about it...ORDER IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ORIGINAL DRAC PACK ! July 10 2009
By The Critic - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The Monster Squad television series ran for one season in 1976 compiling 13 episodes during its brief run. Thanks to Fabulous Films / Virgil films fans can now enjoy the "Monster Squad" the complete series on DVD. All 13 live action episodes are included on two single sided discs with great disc packaging and awesome disc artwork. According to the rear of the package the episodes have been completely restored for this DVD release and in my opinion the quality of both picture and sound is excellent. There is some minor grain here & there in some of the episodes but they are still better than anything I expected to see and hear. There isn't an episode booklet included however the Episode Synopsis does appear on the inside of the DVD case when you open it. You still have to remove the discs to see them.

Walter played by (Fred Grandy) is a criminology student who moonlights as a night watchman in Fred's wax museum. Because nothing ever happens while he's on duty Walter constructs a high tech "crime computer" to pass the time. Upon its completion Walter plugs in his new crime computer and something totally unexpected happens. Walter can hardly believe his eyes when he sees what has happened and he quickly realizes that life in the old Museum will never be the same.

It appears that the oscillating vibrations from Walter's new super crime computer have brought back to life three of the Museums most diabolical inhabitants. Dracula, the Werewolf and Frankenstein are now back amongst the living and they have Walter and his crime computer to thank for it. The Monsters with the help of Walter will now join forces and try to make amends for their past misdeeds by helping people instead of harming them. Now that the formation of the "Monster Squad" is complete, these unlikely heroes will use some very unconventional tactics to battle an assortment of outrageous villains. The "Monster Squad" has brought back some great childhood memories for me and I'm glad I bought the set.
