Calvin and the Colonel Collection

I’m going to try to watch these on an actual DVD player instead of my console, but I’ve never had an issue like this. Disc 1 won’t play at all. Discs 2 & 3 get about halfway through its respective second episode before the Xbox 360 Slim delivers an error message reading “Attempting to read media”. Two stars for the episodes on Disc 3 being colorized- a pleasant surprise since I've only previously seen the series in black & white. Buyer Beware- I think these were haphazardly burned onto R-CDs and put out in a very short amount of time with little care. Considering a refund; disappointing because it's a rather good animated series otherwise.

The first time that I had seen "Calvin and The Colonel", was on a cartoon compilation collection on DVD. As a cartoon affictionado, I thought that it was hilarious! Basically, it's an animated version of the popular radio and television series; "Amos and Andy", that was created by Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll. Except that instead of the characters being in black face, or in the case of the TV series; black actors; the characters are now animals who speak in a southern dialect. Gosden and Correll provided the voices of the characters; Calvin Burnside; a large, lumbering, cigar-smoking Bear, and his friend, Calvin Burnside; a sly con artist Fox. The episodes were basically rehashes of scripts from the TV series. What I also found to be interesting, was that this cartoon was produced by the same producers of shows like "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Munsters".
