    5 out of 5 stars THE SWAMP HAS COME ALIVE !   January 30, 2009
    THE CRITIC (Windsor, Ontario Canada)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Fans of the "Swamp Thing" have 22 reasons to Shout! Based on the DC comic book character, the "Swamp Thing" made his debut in 1990 for the first time on television following the two movies from the 80's. For the first time ever fans can see all 22 episodes comprising of seasons one & two the way they were meant to be seen, in order. When the show was originally broadcast on the television the episodes were shown out of order making the story hard to follow at times.

    Dr. Anton Arcane is looking for a secret elixir; some would call it the fountain of youth. Through his research Dr. Alec Holland believes he has created a new chemical composition and its value could be immeasurable to the world. After being immersed with chemicals and set ablaze Dr. Alec Holland's badly burned body is thrown into the Louisiana swamp by the ruthless Dr. Arcane. After some time in the swamp Alec's body has begun to regenerate itself and it has now mutated into some form of plant & swamp creature. No longer human the "Swamp Thing" sets out to destroy the person responsible for causing his mutation. Welcome to the "Swamp Thing" seasons one & two on DVD.

    This half hour show wasn't always the best. Some stories were better than others and the show was definitely campy entertainment, but the swamp thing creature was well done and Dick Durock was good in reprising his role. This four disc set from Shout Factory is a must for any fan of the show. All 22 episodes are spread out over four single sided discs with great artwork and packaging. The video transfer in my opinion is excellent and the sound is crisp and clean. I have really enjoyed watching the first 22 episodes in order and gained a new appreciation for this show.

    3 out of 5 stars Corny but Entertaining   June 20, 2008

    3 out of 6 found this review helpful

    My teenage sons have developed an appreciation for the classic monster flicks such as Dracula and Frankenstein. They also enjoy the older B Grade films such as The Blob and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Part of the drawing power on these movies is making fun of how corny they are. Swamp Thing definately ranks right up there as one of the "cheesiest" series ever made. There is no way you can take it seriously: the acting is TERRIBLE, the plot line is flawed and the effects are lacking to say the least. However if you just want some laughs (I'm sure the creators did not intend for it to be funny), then you would probably enjoy this series. If it is available to rent in your area, you might try that first. We picked it up on a sale but even at Amazon's regular price, it is about 9 hours of hilarity for appoximately $2.70 an hour. How can you beat that?


    4 out of 5 stars Great adaptation from Movie Screen to TV Screen   May 23, 2008
    Bennet Pomerantz (Seabrook, Maryland)
    3 out of 4 found this review helpful

    From Comic (Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing) to movies ((Swamp Thing) and now TV screen the Swamp Thing had a run like no other DC character other than Superman or Bstman. His translation to TV was good and lasted three seasons. Remarkable for a NON MAJOR DC hero

    The adventures of a man-turned-muck monster. Swamp Thing was once a man named Alec Holland, but after being caught on fire, doused with strange chemicals, and dumped into the Louisiana swamps by the evil Dr. Anton Arcane, Alec's body mutated. No longer is he human, or even an animal. His body is made from the muck and plants of the swamp. He's super strong and can make plants do his bidding. Good thing he's on our side

    This muck monster with a heart owes a debt to Frankenstein legend. Mark Chapman (not a relation to John Lennon's killer) plays the Thing's foil, Dr Arcane, a mad doctor who is doing expierements on mutations.

    The make up other than Swamp Thing costume was not always the greatest. For example, the Episode where Paul Mark Richman was man/falcon looked slightly cheesy, but it did seem to convey it..similar to some of the monsters from the 70s-80s Dr Who

    Dick Durrock plays the Thing with a heart. His origins were unexplained but in bits and pieces through the shows run, but it worked and made this a hit

    Now on DVD, you can relive the episodes. The episodes were tight without major sub plots and major character devices. These shows were told in half hour episodes which seem to work

    Its format was a simple good vs evil and it works

    It is rated four stars because they could have put some sort of commentary on a few episodes. There is extra of interviews with Lein Wein (who created the comic version) and Dick Durrock who played the monster
