Subject: Hong Kong Phooey/Groovie Ghoulies DVD

Written By: Snoopygirl on 04/12/07 at 8:23 pm

I was wondering: did anyone buy either of these dvds yet?  And if so, how are they? I was looking at them in the store this week and I was debating on buying them but I put it off for a while. I'll get both of them but I was just wondering how they were and if they were worth the $ for them.

wow. groovy ghoulies. tell ya what, i just threw disk 1 of GG on my netflix queue, i'll tell ya what i think. what are you after, like, if there's a lot of extras?

i was actually never that big on hong kong fooey, i probably just didn't like the theme song or something. if i hated a theme song forget it, the show was toast. i deprived myself of a lot of enjoyment of all in the family and MASH cuz of that... great shows, annoying as hell theme songs.

did you ever watch ARK II? i bet that's out now, i know it was coming out. also Isis is coming out, i believe.

I haven't bought the DVD's, but after reading this I had to go find the Groovie Ghoulies theme song lyrics 'cause it was bugging the heck out of me! Whew, I feel much better now!  ;D Now I'll have that in my head all weekend!

I went and bought Hong Kong Phooey today. I wasn't sure if it was remastered and the sound quality was good or bad, but I've watched the first disc and I'm happy. Now for The Groovie Ghoulies.  I'll get that next week.

Oh, I love Hong Kong Phooey.  Kinda wish they'd get Funky Phantom out on DVD.

just threw in groovy ghoulies. i defeinitely remember the animation but the song totally sounds unfamiliar to me. guess i couldn't hear it from the crunch of the sugared cereal in my head.

Hong Kong Phooey was a standard teatime cartoon in the UK during the 70s.

I don't really remember the Groovy Goolies but according to wikipedia they were shown as part of Banana Splits in the UK which would be Saturday morning tv.

i watched a few... well, i had em on in the background while i did other stuff, mostly... and to tell you the truth i didn't really remember em either. i got a kick out of the musical interludes and they do this laugh-in thing, although it's mostly not that funny. my favorite groovy ghoulies joke...

Girly Ghoul: Can you help me? My husband thinks he's a lawnmower.
Guyly Ghoul: Why don't you take him to see a psychiatrist?
Girly Ghoul: I can't, the neighbors already borrowed him.

c'mon! that's pretty good! most of the jokes aren't nearly as good as that. the music really is pretty fun, though.
