"However, Rhino has lost the G.I. Joe publishing license, and the odds are, we'll never see Season 2, Part 2, or any other season for that matter. We have Aol/Time Warner to thank for this. Not only did they kill WCW, but they have stopped the publicaton of G.I. Joe DVD's: they're certainly doing an excellent job."

Half a cup of JOE

""G.I. JOE Season 2 Part 1" includes a meager 15 episodes of the classic animated series. The last DVD set ("Season 1 Part 2") offered an impressive 28 episodes for just a few dollars more. Clearly, this set is egregiously overpriced and disappointingly incomplete -- but it's G.I. JOE on DVD so you MUST buy it ("THIS I COMMAND!") Why Rhino didn't just make a 5-disc set including the COMPLETE 30-episode season is beyond me, but I suspect Destro is involved somehow. Anyways, you have to love the awesome new menu animation featuring a CGI Cobra Commander and some funky techno music. And be sure to check out the Dolby Digital 5.1 track on the fifth episode of "Arise, Serpentor, Arise" to hear our beloved Joes repeatedly referring to Sgt. Slaughter as Sgt. SLAMMER and yelling "Full Force!" (instead of the traditional "Yo JOE!") - What's up with that?! I can't stand it when people get the JOEs names wrong! I'm not a big fan of Serpentor and Slaughter, but the episodes on discs 2 and 3 are topnotch G.I. JOE (and refreshingly Slaughter-free). New characters like Lowlife, Beachball, Lifesaver, Mainland, Busy-Signal and Dr. Fenderbender are a welcome addition; while old favorites like Duke, Scarlett, Flint, Lady Jaye, and The Baroness still get some quality screen time. Special Features include a couple of interviews and a few more "Now You Know" public service announcements. It would be nice to see some old Hasbro and Marvel Comics commercials on the next set...assuming there IS a next set. Until then, YO JOE!!! (...or, if you prefer, FULL FORCE!!!)"

A little fresh news on Season 2 Part 2

"As some have noticed the second set of season two has not been released. Rhino lost the rights to the Sunbow series and Sony Entertainment picked them up. Who knows when or if Sony will re-release them?

The 5.1 soundtrack has an error during the last episode of "Arise Serpentor, Arise" that contains the UK version, hence the different names. Just put the soundtrack back to "original broadcast" and you'll be set.

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions, I'll try to help xerofall@comcast.net"

A Great Cartoon Comes to DVD - But with Some Problems.

"As a huge fan of the GI Joe cartoon series, it was great pleasure to add this DVD set to my collection. However, there is a problem with episode #5 of Arise, Serpentor, Arise, in that is seems that the European version of the final episode made the cut instead of the North American version. All of a sudden, GI Joe is referred to as Action Force and Sgt. Slaughter is referred to as Sgt. Slammer. And the battle cry of 'Yo Joe' is replaced with 'Full Action'. It is quite annoying because the actors who originally voiced the characters are NOT the ones who do the voices overs for the European version, so it is very odd hearing two people voice over every character in the final epsiode. All of the other episodes seem to be of their original North American quality. Just keep in mind that when you purchase this set (versus either of the two season 1 sets), that you are getting less episodes (3 discs versus the standard 4 discs in season 1 sets)."

Awesome DVD set!

"A great, albeit too short G.I. Joe set from Rhino. In regards to "Arise, Serpentor Arise" Part 5, the "Action Force" dialogue (i.e. "Full Force!" and censorship of more violent words like blood and bloody and slaughter) can only be heard if you select the stereo or surround settings. If you keep it on original broadcast audio (which I always do anyway) you'll hear the original audio track. Don't let that deter you from buying this great DVD set. Seems to me after multiple airings of the "Arise Serpentor Arise" series on tv way back when, that some of the sound seemed to fade in the later episodes and the music was gone, so repeated airings by networks and time may have been responsible for unaugmentable tracks. Thankfully though, under original broadcast audio, all original sound is present, including the wonderful music by Robert J. Walsh, some of the best action music I've heard in a cartoon. Disc 1 with the "Arise Serpentor Arise" series has by far some of the most action in the series and is great entertainment. The only problem is, my most favorite character, Cobra Commander, is replaced as the leader of Cobra. A travesty to be sure. Serpentor pales in comparison to him. Also, the extras are pitiful; couldn't they have interviewed Frank Welker or Michael Bell or other more prominent characters than Dial-Tone, like they did in the last series with Flint and Lady-Jaye? One more thing: Why does the CGI Cobra Commander have boobs? Or is that his uniform? Seems rather odd..."
