As long-time readers of the blog may recall, Season 6 was the season that the U.S. Acres gang was dropped from the logo. Given the blunders on the Boomerang release, I would have expected them to get the title cards wrong... but to my pleasant surprise, at least two U.S. Acres shorts use the correct "character-less" versions.

One real head scratcher though is the theme song that opens this disc. Although the song itself is correct (for Season 6 anyway), the majority of clips shown were never used in any broadcast version of the theme song. One might assume they threw these clips together as a "preview" of sorts to show what's on the disc, but several of the shorts (and quickies...) represented actually aren't on the disc (eg, The Garfield Musical, Grape Expectations). Whether this new version of the intro is exclusive to this release or intended as a replacement for Seasons 3 and beyond remains to be seen.

Once I get a copy of the disc for myself, I'll write a more in-depth review with better screenshots (and perhaps my brief thoughts on the shorts...).
In the meantime, you can pick a copy of the disc up here for a mere $4.79.
I was actually going to buy this after reading that my all-time favorite U.S. Acres episode was included (Kiddie Korner), but the fact the original U.S. Acres title cards are included makes me want it even more! I'm planning on getting it for Valentine's Day as a result. And it's funny that they included the remastered versions, as I joked to my sister about how I couldn't wait to see the remastering process of Kiddie Korner cut off the bottom of Aloysius' dartboard (since the Wanted: Wade one cut off Orson's hand during the "How do you plead?" scene. On a side note, it appears that the restoration doesn't seem to use the rap theme. On a thread on AnimeSuperhero I read, someone contacted Nine Story and they said that the master tapes for the first opening were lost as well as "one short in episode 49 and one short in episode 106". So maybe this is why the opening for this disc also uses the reanimated Garfield on a fence? Though it may be a relief to many that the rap wasn't used!
