These are, however, the DVD versions, meaning that the licensed songs are still cut out.
Rereleased for Free: The entire series was uploaded onto WildBrain's official YouTube channel.Instead, he's played by Maurice LaMarche, who incidentally took over the role of Inspector Gadget following Adams' retirement of the character in the 90's. The Other Darrin: Don Adams does not reprise his role as Inspector Gadget.So My Kids Can Watch: According to Danny Wells, most of the celebrity guest stars asked to be on the show rather than the other way around their children were always big fans of the Nintendo games.video game, as were his children and grandchildren. Promoted Fanboy: Captain Lou Albano himself was a big fan of the original Super Mario Bros.Out of Order: WildBrain doesn't list the episodes in the correct order on their YouTube playlist.
Because of the unusually high lengths taken here to localize the series for Korean audiences, Korea's rendition of the Super Show has become highly coveted- unfortunately, only small fragments of these skits have surfaced online, and it's not known how many surviving recordings of full skits exist. These skits weren't just remakes of the Albano/Wells skits, either they featured all new plots and completely different sets & costumes.
Super Show notably replaced the live-action skits with new footage starring Korean actors. The Korean version has become an oddly notable case of this while international dubs of American shows generally don't see much attention within the Anglosphere, the Korean dub of The Super Mario Bros.The NCircle Entertainment series release cut out all of the live-action segments as well as the cartoon episode "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service.".Some attempts have been made to Keep Circulating the Tapes though. However, the Club Mario version of the episode "The Unzappables" is the one that's on iTunes, Netflix, and Amazon instead of the original version. As this link states, the poorly-received 1990-91 Retool Club Mario disappeared into a black hole after it was taken off the air, and there are longstanding rumors that the master tapes were trashed.Four other live-action segments that were not originally attached to episodes of The Legend of Zelda were not released on DVD either, as Shout! Factory either couldn't secure the rights to those segments or didn't get the proper masters for them Some of the live-action segments that aired alongside episodes of The Legend of Zelda were not restored when Shout! Factory released the series on DVD, one particular example being The Treasure of Sierra Brooklyn.Efforts have been made to properly restore the songs however. The only way to watch the cartoon segments with the original licensed songs intact is if you have them in their original VHS prints or copied them when they first aired.The same can be said for all but one Club Mario segment.
Several live-action segments, particularly those paired with The Legend of Zelda haven't been seen since their initial TV airings and aren't on DVD for one reason or another.Keep Circulating the Tapes: While the show itself is beyond easy to track down on DVD now, there's a lot that's been missing or impossible to find since its initial syndication.This is corroborated by the lack of a credited writer for any of them. Harpo Does Something Funny: According to an interview with Lou Albano, he and Danny Wells (and, presumably, the various guest stars) largely improvised the live-action segments.Everyone else in the cast was based in Toronto. Fake American: Captain Lou Albano was the only American actor.Edited for Syndication: DVD releases of the series feature the licensed songs from each episode replaced with stock tunes from the show's in-house incidental soundtrack, due to DiC being either unable or unwilling to reacquire the rights.
