Product Description
Follows the adventures of the tiny blue creatures known as the Smurfs as they try to avoid the evil wizard Gargamel and his cat Azrael.
Amazon.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; fans who grew up with their popular and Emmy-nominated network run (1981-1990) can now enjoy (and share) the first 19 episodes of the Hanna-Barbera produced series, which are remastered and compiled in this tidy two-disc set. 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, but also a dangerous bird ("The Smurfs and the Howlibird"), a duplicitous genie ("The Magical Meanie"), and the Tribble-like "Fuzzles" ("Fuzzle Trouble"), and the giant Bigmouth ("Soup a la Smurf"). More benign issues are also handled with the Smurfs' typical can-do attitude, like Harmony's embarrassment over his lack of tunesmanship in "Smurphony in 'C'" or the hubbub caused by the arrival of Smurfette (addressed in "The Smurfette" and "Romeo and Smurfette"). And if the dialogue remains a touch on the corny side (especially the incessant use of "smurf" to replace any number of nouns, verbs and adverbs), it's delivered with good cheer by some of the best names in vocal talent, including Paul Winchell, Don Messick, Lucille Bliss, June Foray, Frank Welker, and Lenny Weinrib. It's unfortunate that the set's supplemental features don't delve further into the Smurfs' long history (or even into the TV series) with any detail; the Emmy-nominated 1982 primetime special The Smurfs' Springtime Special is the chief extra, while Smurfs: The Music Video offers tantalizing snippets of production sketches and promotional footage in a haphazard montage. Previews for DVD releases of Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, and Looney Tunes round out the set. --Paul Gaita

Join the lovable, peaceful, fun-lovin' Smurfs as they outwit the evil wizard Gargamel and his pet cat Azreal in 19 Smurf-arrific episodes from the Hanna-Barbera-produced, Emmy-nominated animated series in The Smurfs - Season One, Volume One.
Starring the veteran voice talents of Paul Winchell (Winnie the Pooh), Lucille Bliss (Space Kidettes), Frank Welker (Scooby-Doo), Don Messick (Jonny Quest), June Foray (Rocky & Bullwinkle) and many others, The Smurfs was a monster Saturday morning hit for NBC, lasting for nine seasons (1981-1990).
Season One of The Smurfs originally aired as an hour-long show, comprised of two eleven minute episodes and one full half-hour episode. Because episodes were repeated as early as Show #3, resulting in more repeats than original episodes being aired, Warner Home Video gives you the episodes in original order from Season One's hour-long format, minus all the repeats.
The Smurfs - Season One, Volume One is a 2-disc (345 min.) set featuring 19 digitally remastered and uncut episodes (complete with original broadcast version title screens); Full Frame (1.33:1) video; English Mono audio; English subtitles; plus extras. Here are the contents of this collection.
Disc 1:
1. The Smurf's Apprentice
2. The Smurfette
3. Vanity Fare
4. King Smurf
5. The Astrosmurf
6. Jokey's Medicine
7. St. Smurf and the Dragon
8. Sorcerer Smurf
9. The Smurfs and the Howlibird
Disc 2, Side A:
10. The Magical Meanie
11. Bewitched Bothered and Be-Smurfed
12. Smurf-Colored Glasses
13. Dreamy's Nightmare
14. Fuzzle Trouble
15. Soup A La Smurf
16. All That Glitters Isn't Smurf
17. Romeo and Smurfette
18. The Hundredth Smurf
19. Smurphony in 'C'
Disc 2, Side B:
(Special Features)
* Bonus Episode: "Smurf's Springtime Special" - Gargamel plots against the Smurfs as the Smurf village prepares for Easter.
* "Smurfs: The Music Video" - A 3-minute music video featuring the famous title sound track, cut to the rhythm of the best moments from the first season.

I randomly did an amazon search for smurfs dvd just now, and it looks like we will FINALLY see an official US release of this cartoon next year. The only thing that makes me hesitate to buy this is that it is season one volume one. I wonder if Turner is planning to release a special edition "complete series" box set at a later date.
If they were smart, the publisher would sell each of these dvd's with limited edition smurf figurines.
Finally! December 10, 2007

I've been hooked on the Smurfs since I was in the Navy, in 1983! Back then, it was the only thing on TV on Saturday mornings. I love this series, and can't wait. I dont know why it took so long!
MORE MORE MORE February 28, 2008
