Dexter's Lab Full DVD Collection
An excellent full collection for the Dexter's Lab show. Looks just how it should. Though there is a small, flickering black line on some early episodes but maybe that's just how it was and wasn't noticeable on a CRT TV back in the day. Seems to go away eventually in later episodes, hopefully for good. Wish the DVD collection had more fun extras and a more inspired menu screen but as it stands this is a nice way to own the whole cartoon in DVD format! The slip cover is fun and stylish too!

Almost Whole Series is Here, But Weird Black Line Issue With Masters
The DVD set is a great one to have since you can finally have a majority of the series at the palm of your hands (especially since "Ego Trip" is included on the 12th disc). However, there are caveats to this set:1) The episodes "Dial M for Monkey: Barbequor" and "Rude Removal" are unsurprisingly not a part of this set. The former episode had some trouble with Marvel as the Silver Spooner was a bit too close to the Silver Surfer, and the latter was banned since it wasn't really deemed as an episode that could go on air for the kid friendly Cartoon Network. These episodes are pretty easy to find elsewhere, however.2) When compared to the old Season 1 DVD set, a bunch of the episodes in this new set have this weird black bar issue on the bottom right of the screen (see attached photos). The good news is that this weird issue only seems to impact some of the episodes within the first two discs (what the set designates as Season 1) as well as the first three episodes of Season 2 (specifically "Beard to Be Feared", "Quackor: The Fowl", and "Ant Pants"). From what I have tested, the rest of the DVD set lacks this black line issue (you can see some of the edges of the frames in some of the other episodes, however), so I guess Warner Bros. had issues with the recordings for most of the episodes in the first season. As such, if this is a deal breaker for your DVD set, then the simplest solution is to just grab the Season 1 DVD set for the better looking 1st season and this complete series set for the later seasons (even though that would add an extra $15 or so to your overall order).3) Episode order matches that of what the show had on Max, not the original ordering that the show had when it aired on TV (so, what you'd see on the TVDB).4) "Dexter's Rival" and "Dexter's Lab: A Story" are duplicated on this set. The former appears on discs 1 and 2 while the latter appears on discs 2 and 6. This is likely due to "Barbequor" being banned as that issue occurred in the S1 DVD set that was released years ago.5) One episode had the intro sequence (the usual intro where Dee Dee dances into Dexter's lab) played with a lower pitch. The rest of the episode has the correct pitch, however, so I'm unsure why only the intro was affected.Overall, I like this set, but its image quality isn't as good as the Powerpuff Girls set that was released a bit before it or the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends set from the prior year. I imagine that Warner Bros. is working with the masters that they managed to preserve (as Dexter's Lab is from '96 while PPG is '98 and Foster's is from '04), but that whole black line issue didn't exist in the older S1 set. Still, I'm glad that the series is FINALLY complete for home releases (barring the two banned episodes) as it was removed from HBO Max for some dumb reason. Definitely worth grabbing to have continuous access to the show at this point!I hope Johnny Bravo comes next!

Classic Cartoon Network Series that keeps going and going
My kids loved Dexter's Laboratory when it ran on Cartoon Network. As they got older we loved watching Season One which was the only season we could find on DVD.This set of every season is a jewel in our DVD collection that the entire family still can enjoy together.Rendering is clear and the sound is good.As DVDs we are able to bring them in the car on trips. They definitely make the driving time pass more quickly.What a fine day for science - and Dexter's Laboratory on DVD.

You have to get this
I'm way too old for this cartoon, yet I saw it when I was in my 20's when it was popular. It's one of the great cartoons, like PowerPuff Girls and all the classics like Bugs Bunny. It's really a work of art.I wish they had released it on Blu Ray, but eh, you takes what you can gets.

Amazing collection of this classic cartoon
I got this on sale for about $30 since it is a dvd. However it is one of the only complete physical collection of dexters lab. The cels have not been remastered do they work fine as a dvd and if you use a 4k blu ray player the upscaling is not bad at all. In fact it looks great for a dvd.I beleive this is all of the episodes on dvd, it's not like an ed Edd n eddy situation where the specials were left out?In any case, it's worth a buy if you are a physical media collector.
