I loved the look of Frankenhole, really neat stuff going on there. The plots got a bit convoluted however.

But recently the Harvard-Smithsonian Center did something about it: It held a debate — pro and con — and let the audience vote. The result: “Pluto IS a planet.”

I adored the premise and animation style of FrankenHole, but I felt the writing wasn't up to the same quality. Anyway!

I had never watched a full episode of that until today, and didn't really know what it was about...the premise and general story arc of the first episode reminds me of "Franken Fran"

There is commentary. So far, the pilot stays on track, but I'm excited to see them veer off into drunken nonsense.

The BHS is just about the weirdest thing I've seen today.

Steven, are you telling LIES?
Do you live near an Amazon warehouse or distribution center? Amazon warehouses have been known to stock items that local customers are likely to order online in order to cut down on shipping times and costs. Odds are good your copy has been sitting in the local distribution center for weeks now.

Mine said the same thing, but I got it in at like 1pm. Be on the look out.

Also, the thing was barely packaged. I'm surprised it ended up intact at all.

I should have my copy tonight. I would have had it yesterday, but the USPS guy on Tuesdays for my apartment complex is utter poo poo and was still sorting out the mail at 5:30pm when I got home from work. For some reason the idea of dropping all the packages off at the office first hadn't occurred to him like it would for everyone else, and no I can't just look for it in the bin thing that holds all the mail even though that's probably it right there.

The fact he always works Tuesdays and most media things come out on Tuesday is annoying, especially since Amazon has been favoring USPS over UPS lately for me. Sometimes he forgets whole bins at the post office or puts things in the wrong mail box. The other mail carrier is great though.

Quick question for those that redeemed their digital UltraViolet copy. Is anybody else missing the episode Rick Potion #9 in their digital library? The episode title and summary are listed there, but there is no way to watch or download the episode.

While I hate the fact that they decided to go with UltraViolet's streaming DRM bullshit for the free digital edition pack-in, the episode summaries almost make up for it. Almost.

Lawnmower Dog
Rick helps Jerry out with the dog, broh. Don't even trip about this episode, because they also incept Goldenfold. (Guest starring Rob Paulsen and Jess Harnell)

Rick Potion #9
Rick helps Morty win over the girl of his dreams in this one, broh. Fist bump me, broh.

Those are just the iTunes summaries. I remember because of the baffling overuse of "broh".

The Good Morty comic is especially hilarious because I recently had one of those Good Christian comics left at my door and it is dead on for the tone of that thing.

Same issue with Rick Potion #9 for me as well.

My copy was also not signed.

Mastering of the blu-ray seems to be a bit off. The overall black level is elevated which gives it an ever so slightly washed out look. Other than that though, it looks great.

From what I gathered, if you didn't order it off of amazon the moment it went on sale, you probably wouldn't be able to get the autograph.

I had my pre-order the day it went on sale, so doubt that adds to it. 250 signed copies isn't a lot.

Commentaries:

The ONLY other thing I've watched episode commentaries for before this was Invader Zim, so there may be a gap in what I was expecting based on that and what is the norm. There was a lot of great content in the commentary, but I kept hoping for more pointing out of little missable details, and more behind-the-scenes chat, and less... I dunno... random rapping? As funny as that was. A lot of things I was really looking forward to comments on were totally glossed over, while instead the things that got fixated on were boring or incidental. "Look at Summer's rear end!" came up like four times, too, which was weird.

Guest commentaries had promise, but were ruined because nobody from the show sat in with them. All of the time there was spent with the guests saying "Why are we here?" or "Man it would be cool to know the answer to this question but none of us know so let's talk about Futurama instead."

Overall I enjoyed the commentary tracks but they weren't all I was hoping for.

E: At one point they were even about to discuss the origin of a recurring background character, but then apatheticly gave up with "Nah, I don't want to get into that."

I dunno, I think these are the best commentaries since Invader Zim. Cut out bits withstanding. These commentaries were probably what Zim's would've been like had the DVD not been associated with Nickelodeon.
I don't know why you guys expected real information here. That BTS video is about what I expected, and it was pretty amazing.

The tracks are funny, but yeah, I would have liked more information and less "This is a 22 minute episode of Harmontown podcast". Learning about when stuff had to be dialed back or changed or fights over what joke to use was interesting, I would have loved more of it.

Listening to the menu music is great, all the songs from the show basically loop with no other audio over it. Ahhhh yeah, full flu rap.
