Title unclear
I had my phone on dark mode when I heard this so I thought it said raversWas a little disappointed it was not about dogs at a rave, also the fact that Rover is a common cliché name for a dog but also Rover could mean somebody who goes a lot of places, but this double entendre is never addressed in the show, leaving me unclear how the writers wanted me to interpret the titleAlso it turned me into a furry

Don’t be a weird boy😜
Just finished the series today and I gotta say, I love it! I was only three when this show was on TV, so I missed out on a really cool cartoon. If you love silly 90’s cartoons you will love Road Rovers. My favorite scene is the “tanks” scene.Hunter: Hey Blitz, you wanna biscuit?Blitz: TanksHunter: Your welcome.Blitz: No, tanks.Hunter: Are you sure? It’s tasty, try it.Blitz: Tanks.Hunter: Your welcome.Blitz: No, Tanks!Hunter: What’s with you, do you want it or not?Blitz: Tanks!Hunter: Your welcome!Blitz: NO TANKS!!!Hunter: WELL MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!BOOM!!!Hunter: Oh tanks, now I get it, funny!Blitz: (Facepalm)My only issue with the DVD is the fact that the “Russian name game” song in episode 13 was discredited. If you ever watched the show as a kid you probably know what I’m talking about. The scene involved a bit where they sing a song about naming children, it sounds cute at first, but when you get to the end they sing a verse that sounds dangerously close to Son of a $&@#%. Now honestly, I can understand why WB would censor that scene and remove it entirely, but you would think that the DVD collection would feature the original uncensored version of that episode, but I guess not.Some people have theorized that that scene was the reason for the show’s premature cancellation. I seriously doubt it, 90’s cartoons were more forgiving back then. In an age where gun violence, smoking cigarettes and political jokes were still common in cartoons, I seriously doubt that “cursing” twice in one episode caused the show’s cancellation.I really wish I new about cartoons like the Road Rovers when I was a kid. I was born in 1993, a good three years before the show was aired. I missed out on a lot of good shows. I wish I was born 1990, that way I could have been a true 90’s kid and seen all the cool stuff.Bottom line, if you watched Road Rovers as a kid, here’s Your chance to watch them again! If you’ve never seen them before (like me), give them a chance and you will love them too. The Road Rovers may have been short lived, but it’s still a great show, and I’d watch The Rovers any day over the cartoons that are being made now.TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!!AWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

LOVE THIS 😍
I got this with some of my birthday money and it’s pretty good! I heard about this show on social media and was interested in watching the full series and wanted a physical copy. I’m satisfied 👍

The quality of the DVDs are good. But the DVDs are clearly DVD-R discs.
While it is nice to have the entire series on a 2 disc set, it's clear that the DVDs are actually DVD-R discs. And because of this, the DVDs are lacking in content. You do get all of the episodes "almost" completely uncensored. And the quality of the episodes are good. But there are no languages besides English. And there's no bonus content, like behind the scenes or interviews. So only buy this is you are desperate for a complete physical set of Road Rovers.

Let's hit the DVD players, Road Rover Fans!
While the 2-disc set lacks special features, it is absolutely awesome to finally have access to this show. Road Rovers is a fun, snarky, tongue-in-cheek parody of the more serious "Humanoid Animal Hero" cartoons of the time. It gained a cult following from its original run on WB, and subsequent run on Cartoon Network, following its abrupt cancellation (fans protested the cancellation by sending in tennis balls to the Warner Bros. Studios). This is a must-have for the fans who have been waiting so long to see one of their favorite shows again. I gladly recommend this to anyone with a good sense of humor and a love of mid-90's era cartoons.A few words of warning for those not familiar with the show: It is really not PC, and some of the references may come across as being a bit dated (the cartoon was made circa 1995). And there are a few dark and emotional moments, that are rare for cartoons of this type. There are also some high-brow jokes that may take a bit of research to understand. In my own opinion, these are not bad things. But some more sensitive or younger viewers may not be an appropriate audience for this cartoon.

A Good Collection at a Good Price
A solid collection of an animated show that is underrated from other Steven Spielberg shows, like Animaniacs, or Freakazoid. Made my dad super happy, and I would highly recommend giving Road Rovers a shot if you're looking for something to watch.

Underrated and underappreciated TV show from 1996!
Road Rovers is such an underrated show from 1996. I admit, I never watched the show when it first came on, but someone on YouTube who's a big RR fan, did several videos talking about the show, and it got me interested. I purchased a copy and I can honestly say that I wasn't disappointed. The characters are all likeable, the comedy in this show is a hit for me, and the voice-cast is terrific. It's a shame that this series is only short-lived and 13 episodes long. Just so everyone knows, Episode 13 on this set is the edited version. Still though, if you loved this show growing up, pick it up. If you're new to the show, give it a chance, you might enjoy it.

Barking, scratching, frisby catching, presidential pets . . .
What's not to love? If like me, you remember the original tv series, just buy it!! I was over the moon when I saw the series finally released on dvd, and even happier when it played in my dvd player! It says it is Region 1 in the advert, but I cannot find anything on the discs or box that says this, so I don't know if it is perhaps region free? Either way, it played, the quality is great and I can return to my childhood days and enjoy watching Hunter, Colleen, Exile, Blitz, Shag and Muzzle in their exploits to save the world from the evil General Parvo!! My advice, if you loved it then, you will love it now. Buy it, watch it, and make everybody who has never seen it watch it too! :)

Para los fans de esta serie.
Por fin la serie completa en DVD. El lado malo es que no cuenta con ningún tipo de extra, subtitulos, idiomas diferentes al inglés, etc. También la calidad de imagen pudo ser remasterizada, pero en su lugar está versión parece sacada del formato VHS. También creo que a un episodio le falta una escena donde cantan como se da el nombre de una persona en Rusia. Por lo demás contento de tener la serie aún con todos sus defectos y carencias.
