"This is a single DVD with the following episodes on it:
S-Shivering S-Smurfs - An early winter comes to Smurf Village and Tracker is the only one prepared and saves the village.
Turncoat Smurf - Gargemel uses his dog to track down the Smurfs after finding Brainy's laundry.
The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No - Pushover Smurf is used to do all the work and puts out the Fox Fire awakening a monster.
The Haunted Castle - Johan & Peewit' meet a ghost in a drought filled countryside with the Smurfs help they end the drought.
The Black Hellebore - After the king is poisoned by the potion maker, to wake the king Johan & Peewit' need the antidote from Homnubus. The potion maker later uses the evil Hellebore flower to try and take over the kingdom.
The title sequence of each episode is the newest of the three opening sequences that I know of. The one on the Season 1 DVD's was something about Smurfs being good and Gargemel being Bad, the one from most of when I was growing up had Gargemel chanting "total destruction from mountain to shore", and this one was used when Peewit' & Johan were main characters has Papa singing while the dam is bing built. I don't know if there was an additional opening for when the Smuflings were in the show.
This DVD has the same issue that the Season 1 DVD's did where the menu is much louder then the episodes. I just wish that they would have continued to release the seasons, this was just a tease of what should have been released."

"My 8 year old son and I both found this DVD to be extremely boring. Gargamel is barely present. The episodes are heavy on Johan and Pee Wee. I was a huge fan of The Smurfs from 1981-1985, and I don't remember any of these episodes. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to what I was buying."

"It's really sad to me how greed continues even with children movies.It would make more sense to me if warner would just continue putting out there 20-25 episode season's of the smurfs,and stop trying to make a buck by wasting time and energy to put out these crappy cheap overpriced greatest hits episode from the 2 seasons that are already contained in the first 2 smurfs seasons sets...otherwise great show and memories....geesh...greed...greed"

"Booooo...why would you not continue to release the seasons sets and only put out a few episodes. Are they not going to come out with the season sets anymore? I could deal with the episodes being out of order in the first two DVD's...but I want more smurfs :(
Who can we write to so we can ask for the season sets...I don't want to buy those burned copies that are being sold."

"This dvd is okay. It is not as entertaining as the previous releases. The 5 episodes that are provided are a bit dull and Gargamel was not as prominent as most tru-blue Smurf fans would like. However, my daughter stills likes it, but wants to watch one of the other Smurf dvds when this one ends. I gave it 4 stars because the dvd does contain Smurfs."
