Sounds nice, but I won't believe it until I see a more formal announcement. The last time someone in the know shared information like this on social media, it turned out to be a dud (Greenblatt "revealing" a new Zim movie on tumblr).

Original writers or bust.

Only if they accept my pitch where the Rugrats are nihilstic twenty somethings who've just begun to realize their lives peaked when they were one.

The show is finally getting the proper DVD treatment it deserves.

Seasons 1 & 2 releasing May 2.

Why the heck did this take so long?

Anyway, this is great. Now we just need season 3 and they can stop for all I care.

Why the heck did this take so long?

They had that deal with Amazon all those years ago for the MOD DVDs.

[Avaitor]

From what I've read, those MODs were worse than nothing.

I'm going to get these for sure. I just want the pre-Dil seasons, and then I'm good.

I think I'll need to rewatch some of the show before I decide to get these. I have fond memories of a lot of moments, but it's been a long time since I've seen any of it and I don't know if it holds up for me as well as other 90's Nicktoons have.

[Spark Of Spirit]

In my opinion, the first 65 episodes hold up really well. That was with the original staff and creative team though. After it was revived due to the popularity of reruns it pretty much lost all appeal. Even if you liked those later episodes back in the day, they are very hard to go back to now. They just didn't age well at all.

Rugrats comics are coming in October.

[Avaitor]

Seasons 3 and 4 are coming out in Feb.

I got the first 2 sets, but haven't really used them yet. That said, I'll probably get these as well. Conventional wisdom is that the first 65 episodes are the only good ones, but I watched a lot of the show when 90's Are All That started up years ago, and found the first couple of revival seasons entertaining, too. Especially the specials made in between cancelation and revival. I'll probably stop collecting when Dil joins up.

The first 65 episodes were done by the original staff. After that the show's tone and direction changed because new people came in. Some people like them, but I tried rewatching much of the series a few years back and the episodes past the first 65 just didn't hit the mark. It feels like a different show.
