Transcript: Leave It To Beaver Blu-ray Review: A Timeless Family Classic

Greetings Classic Cinema and TV fans this is Jason back with you once again bringing you another silver screen spotlight and today we are looking at two brand new releases and I am so excited about them. One from Warner Archive and one from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. First off, the Warner Brothers, Warner Archive release is for all film fans of classic animation. We're talking about Looney Tunes Volume 2. Look at that. Brand new Looney Tunes release. Now for all Looney Tunes fans, yes. Pretty interesting release. We got volume one and now we got volume two. These are newly restored classic cartoons from the old era. Now it's interesting because a lot of these old cartoons are more or less deemed somewhat inappropriate in this day and age. Now, I've never had a problem with them in all my life. I grew up on them, so to me, it never bothered me. But I know for some parents, they deem the classic Looney Tunes, you know, not appropriate. So for all intents and purposes, Warner Archive puts on the back package. Looney Tunes Collectors Choice Volume 2 is intended for adult collectors and may not be suitable for children. I never, like I said, I never had a problem with it. But anyway, we get 25 classic cartoons on Blu-ray. We got a little bit of a glare there. There we go. Now it's good. You can see all the classic cartoons. right there okay pretty awesome tons of them I not gonna go through all of them but they let see Daffy southern exposure ding daddy let see a hick a slick and a chick Very very funny cartoon The Leg Horn Blows at Midnight, I get that. That's a take on The Horn Blows at Midnight with Jack Benny. Pretty cool. The Rebel Without Claws, another take on The Rebel Without a Cause. pretty cool, just tons of stuff, and yeah, so that's just a quick look at the new Volume 2 collection of the classic Looney Tunes, pretty awesome, love that so much, so yeah, Volume 2, we'll have a full written review of that coming up at Classic Cinema Plus here very, very soon, but for the main event now, this is the one, when I saw this was releasing, I was like, yes please um i love classic tv uh especially tv from the 50s and 60s um those old shows um the honeymooners um you know i marry joan i love lucy um all those old shows they i just love them so much and uh one of the the coolest of uh the old uh family uh shows was the show leave it to beaver uh leave it to beaver uh was a family it was the cleavers uh ward and june uh mom and dad uh who um would uh who had two sons wally wallace wally and theodore also known as beaver okay and it was all about their um their crazy antics how beaver would always get into trouble and try to get out of trouble and Wally would get in trouble and try to get out of trouble.

Look at that The complete TV series all six seasons on Blu That is so awesome I love that Now six seasons Okay here the six discs Now I love the fact that they do this because a lot of times what they been doing companies have been doing has been releasing these big box sets where it's like these flipper cases and you just sit them inside the thing and that's all well and fine, but it's not real sturdy. uh, it really isn't. So when I saw these, I was like, yes, this is what we wanted. So season one, uh, looks like this. Okay. And you got Beaver right on the front cover. Pretty cool. Back cover right there. Okay.
