Product Description Smurfs, The: Volume One - True Blue FriendsThe Smurfs are a group of over 100 bluish, three-apple tall creatures who live in the mushroom homes of Smurf Village. They are led by 543-year-old Papa Smurf (who doesn't look a day over 530). Their lives would be perfect were it not for the villainous Gargamel, a wizard who spends his days trying to capture them to eat, turn into gold, or for other evil reason. Gargamel's cat Azrael adds to the menace, always looking for a smurfalicious snack. It’s Smurfs Vol. 1: True Blue Friends, the Emmy-winning animated series [Outstanding Childrens Entertainment Series 1982-83] that delighted Saturday morning cartoon fans for nearly a decade.]]> desertcart.com Beloved in Europe for almost 20 years before they became a toy and marketing hit on American shores, Belgian cartoonist Peyo's industrious and charming Smurfs were a natural choice for Saturday morning TV. Though simplistic by today's animation standards, the quarter-century-plus since their U.S. TV debut has not diminished the key ingredient to the Smurfs' enduring appeal: their unflappably upbeat demeanor, which helps Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and the rest of the clan overcome the schemes of their chief rival, the evil wizard Gargamel. True Blue Friends contains five episodes from the second season: "S-Shivering S-Smurfs," "Turncoat Smurf," "The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No," "The Haunted Castle," and "The Black Hellebore." --Paul Gaita Review: Smurfs Vol 1 True Blue Friends - I'm buying things from my childhood to share with my children - and for some reason, the smurfs have disappeared off our TV screens. I am very happy with my purchase, although any customers from the UK should be aware that DVDs from the US do not play in the EU thanks to some dumb regulations. I never knew that. I had to purchase some programme from the internet to be able to play my DVD, and can only play it on my computer. Unfortunately its virtually impossible to get the smurfs in this country, so I'll have to continue buying US DVD's. It sucks. Review: Great item. My daughter loves the smurfs! - This item brings back a lot of memories of when I was younger and used to watch this cartoon. I wish all the older cartoons were on tv now for the kids to watch. The older cartoons were the best!!!

Essential Saturday Morning Fever Requisite.
As it has come to be known that The Saturday Morning Fever,or SMF is back. Looney Tunes was the forerunner for many years, until The Smurfs stole the acclaim. These editions seem to come out every 3 months and have a patterns of each containing 5 episodes. The trailers of the The Smurfs: Smurfy Tales and The Smurfs: World of Wonders are the same as this one.

Nephew loved it.
My nephew had this on his wish list. I gave it to him for his birthday. He loves it, so I love it. His mother however may feel differently, since she is the one that has to listen to it, right behind her head on long car trips...

Not Season 2
This is a single DVD with the following episodes on it: S-Shivering S-Smurfs - An early winter comes to Smurf Village and Tracker is the only one prepared and saves the village. Turncoat Smurf - Gargemel uses his dog to track down the Smurfs after finding Brainy's laundry. The Smurf Who Couldn't Say No - Pushover Smurf is used to do all the work and puts out the Fox Fire awakening a monster. The Haunted Castle - Johan & Peewit' meet a ghost in a drought filled countryside with the Smurfs help they end the drought. The Black Hellebore - After the king is poisoned by the potion maker, to wake the king Johan & Peewit' need the antidote from Homnubus. The potion maker later uses the evil Hellebore flower to try and take over the kingdom. The title sequence of each episode is the newest of the three opening sequences that I know of. The one on the Season 1 DVD's was something about Smurfs being good and Gargemel being Bad, the one from most of when I was growing up had Gargemel chanting "total destruction from mountain to shore", and this one was used when Peewit' & Johan were main characters has Papa singing while the dam is bing built. I don't know if there was an additional opening for when the Smuflings were in the show. This DVD has the same issue that the Season 1 DVD's did where the menu is much louder then the episodes. I just wish that they would have continued to release the seasons, this was just a tease of what should have been released.

Let's just say I "smurf" the Smurfs! Thought I was shocked by the negativity I heard on Keyframe.com, I thought the series is really good. My favorite smurf characters are Clumsy Smurf, he's funny; Smurfette (who doesn't love Smurfette) and Handy Smurf because...well because I love Handy and Marina the mermaid, they're my favorite TV couple. And after watching the TV show, I even read the original comics from Peyo, and now the Smurfs is my favorite European comic along with Rene Goscinny's Asterix the Gaul from France. Overall I really love the Smurfs; that is all I could say about this cartoon series, folks.

It isn't relevant to a 4 year old whether there are special features, or any of those extras. Apparently, the Smurfs do exactly what they should to keep her entertained. How can you not give 5 stars to something she watched over and over?
