Info: article on censoring Tom And Jerry
Time

This is why I snagged a copy of the Tom & Jerry Laserdisc Box Set Vol 1.  I think TCM showed the original early 1940s Christmas cartoon (along with some others) a few years back with introduction commentary by the host.  Boomerang & Nick showings are pretty well cut up.

I still need to get hooked up with the original Tijuana Toads episodes.  I think we'll eventually see this since I found a recent release of all The Inspectors episodes on a standalone DVD volume of the Pink Panther series.

Were any episodes of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles available on the Laserdisc?

See the bottom of the first page of this post, they are listed there.  If I recall correctly, even the first round of LD and VHS releases were edited versions of the broadcast episodes?

I picked up a copy of the "complete" DVD box set, which turned out to be a Chinese pirate version off of eBay for my son a few years back.  We sorted that out with the seller, but it is edited as well.  Chapter indexing and bonus material is flakey or missing on these.

Amazon reviews indicate that a re-release is pending.

Apologies for the bump to this thread, but does anyone still have the King Kong Criterion commentary which is ready to sync to the DVD? The link earlier in the thread no longer works, but I'm still interested.

Out of curiosity, FanFiltration, how are your "A Hard Day's Night" and upgraded Banned Bond DVDs going?

EDIT: Bought the King Kong Criterion laserdisc for $2.95 today. :-D

 

Good price, but I think that one has some parts restored from a 16mm print.  I think the Turner/RKO double feature with Son of Kong is from a complete 35mm print found in Europe which has since become the master print.
