I had intended to start this post off as a list of all the stuff I wish would come out on DVD. Seeing as UHF, Kuffs, Remo Williams, Disorganized Crime, Midnight Run, and Dutch, have all finally been released (or re-released) over the years, that list has shrunk considerably. I started with the new top item on the list, Disney’s Gummi Bears, only to have discovered that it is now set to be released on November 14th of this year. Hallelujah and praise be to God, I’ll finally have my Gummies!

It ran for five seasons from 1985 to 1990, culminating in 94 episodes spanning 65 shows (source: Wikipedia), and was the best goddamn show on television at the time (source: me). You can read the synopsis at Wikipedia. Besides the Medieval setting with knights, castles, and trolls, what I liked most about this show was the theme song.

I have frickin’ tears in eyes, for chrissake. Tears. In my eyes. How sad is that!?

And that’s not all… A ska version by Suburban Legends:

New Gumbrea has various versions of the theme. Why does no one tell me these things?!

Cubbi.org has stills from the show.

I was going to finish this off by saying what was next on my list, but it looks like it’s available, too (sorta). Not a problem for a connaisseur like me.
