Chowder, Vol. 1

Best new cartoon
Chowder is a great cartoon and I'm thrilled to have it on DVD finally! I just wish the first Vol. contained more episodes than 5, when the first season had 20 episodes total.

Segments included on this DVD:
- The Froggy Apple Crumple Thumpkin / Chowder's Girlfriend
- Grubble Gum / The Cinnamini Monster
- Certifrycation Class / The Sing Beans
- Majhongg Night / Stinky Love
- The Thrice Cream Man / The Flibber-Flabber Diet

Great Cartoon-Skimpy DVD
I love Chowder. but this is too little content for the price.
This DVD does not contain half of Season 1. It contains one fourth of Season 1. There were 20 episodes containing 38 cartoons (Two were double length). This DVD contains 10 of the 38 cartoons as five episodes. The description above says 10 episodes when it is actually ten cartoons. The widescreen picture is beautiful, and the cartoons are grouped into two cartoon episodes (just like on TV) so that you get to see all of the clever and funny openings and closing credits. The menus are well done, and include a "Play All" option. But this is gonna cost over $[...]bucks for the first season IF they all come out on DVD!?!

A must buy for animation lovers
Chowder is really one of the greatest things to come along on Cartoon Network since Dexters Lab. It has a different and highly creative art style that is absolutly gorgeous. Not to mention that the show itself is hilarious and fresh. I already have both seasons downloaded through Zune, but buying the DVD's was a no brainer as soon as I heard about the widescreen format.
It seems trivial but the full widescreen picture, which the show is originally made for, makes quite a difference even from the intro and you get to see all the beautiful lighting on the inner sides of the oven that you couldnt see before. Also, the picture quality itself is improved drastically over digital downloads, no more digital artifacts blurring up the screen during Chowders many random food transitions or fast sequences. The dvd looks amazing and crisp even on my 1080p TV being played off an xbox360. My only gripe is that you only get a few episodes per DVD, and the next installment isn't even due for...
