Unreleased Garbage Pail Kids Cartoon Comes To DVD
May the DVD gods have mercy on us… it seems the success of Garbage Pail Kids: The Movie on DVD has inspired Paramount Home Entertainment to open up their vaults and dish out even more Garbage Pail Kids goodness/badness in 2006. On April 4th they will release “The Garbage Pail Kids: The Complete Series”, a 13 episode animated series that was produced in 1987 but never saw the light of day. It seems CBS cancelled the show 3 days before its scheduled Saturday morning premiere. There’s nothing quite like waiting 18 years to recoup your costs by hocking an unaired cartoon to twenty-somethings blinded by nostalgia! Still, I have to admit I am somewhat curious about this show. The Garbage Pail Kids cards always were somewhat amusing in their own little gross out way (and continue to sell today). This will be a 2-disc set at a suggested retail price of $27.95 US.

2006 will go down as a triumphant year in cartoon world! Years ago CBS shamelessly teased millions of American kids (in the late 1980’s) with a Garbage Pail Kids Saturday morning cartoon promo (a tantalizing spot ad that only heightened one’s anticipation for the show) and they NEVER delivered! But times have changed. And NOW all of us devastated kids can purchase an entire season of mythical Garbage Pail Kids cartoons…the ones that SHOULD have aired! It’s now on DVD and comes in a colorfully fun display box. What a treatâ€â€Makes the perfect gift this holiday season!
