“Gargoyles” on DVD needs sales

I just read this
TVShowsOnDVD article
. For those who haven’t seen
it, Gargoyles was a remarkably mature Disney
cartoon, which had a huge teenage audience. It wasn’t
the shiny, pretty world that so much of Disney’s
current output seems to be built off of. Instead, it
felt like fantasy characters lodged in the real world.
Moreover, it featured serialized stories, a rarity in
children’s entertainment. I’ve been putting off
buying them, hoping for a complete series pack, but
I’ve just ordered the two available sets now. This
show may not have enough audience left to outsell
Bambi II or the next direct to video sequel,
but it deserves to. I’m spending the dollars on it,
hoping to convince Disney that there is a market for
content on this on DVD, and that it’s worth their
while to release the rest of the series. If you
remember the show, or have teenagers who would be
willing to listen to recommendations, pick up a set.
(Note that season two, volume one has twice the
episode count as season one, so it’s actually a better
deal.)

      Damn, I prowl the DVD stores and I never saw it!

      Let me cut down your hunting time. Season one is at Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. Season two, volume one is also available at Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.
      Take a look at the Canadian prices, and you’ll see that Amazon.com makes sense on both sides of the 49th, even with shipping.

    I nabbed S1 immediately upon release. It is everything a fanboy could want. I was waiting on S2V1 for whatever reason, but have since ordered it after having read the same article. Gargoyles is one of the greatest original Disney cartoons ever, and certainly deserves fan support.

    Please spread the word!
