Of course those of us who grew up in the 70s recall that time as "The Golden Age of TV Specials". Even then(at age 7) I was disappointed. But I loved the cartoon, I just wish script allowed "Lumpy" to watch more episodes of it. I picked up a bootleg copy in the late 90s and laughed like crazy. <br />I often tell younger friends of mine how weird the entertainment biz was in the 70s. I think this special is living testament to that. Lucas needs to get over himself and release this ASAP. I'm sure it looks even worse on blu-ray.J.A.
