The Woody Woodpecker Show - DVD

DVD

In the early 2000s (decade), a series of mail-order Woody Woodpecker Show VHS tapes and DVDs were made available by mail order through Columbia House. Each DVD featured “cartunes”, bumpers, and ‘A Moment with Walter Lantz’ or Newsreel segments set in the 1957-1977 format of The Woody Woodpecker Show, though Volumes 11-15 hardly feature any “Moments” or “Newsreels”. However, following complaints about censorship (the cartoons included featured varying amounts of censorship, from restored and intact prints to severely cut TV edits), the series ended after fifteen volumes rather than the planned twenty.

In 2007, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection, six behind-the-scenes segments from The Woody Woodpecker Show and a 1964 episode that contains the cartoon “Spook-a-Nanny” were released on the collection as bonus features. The following year The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection: Volume 2 was released and feature twelve behind-the-scenes segments and two pilot cartoons, “The Secret Weapon” and “Jungle Medics” from The Woody Woodpecker Show.

The 1987 intro and bumpers have yet to appear on DVD.
