Based on packaging, features, & quality.


The Worst DVDs ...

Duran Duran: Greatest

The packaging: no liner notes, pictures (instead of the band/videos, the sleeves feature color bars), and the track listing is hard to read since it's white against the white sleeve.

The DVDs are OK, but there's a lot of easter eggs and the menu could've been done better

MTV20 collection (2001)

The set is mediocre since it's mostly forgettable videos from the mid 1990's. Granted that there's a few classics like Aerosmith "Livin' On The Edge" & Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun", but several that aren't even well known or interesting like Jodeci "Forever My Lady" or Smash Mouth "Walking On The Sun". There's only 17 videos from the 1980's that are mostly average like Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now" & Gary Numan "Cars" instead of classics like a-ha "Take On Me" & Beastie Boys "(You Got To) Fight For Your Right (To Party)". Atleast there's a few gems like Run DMC & Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and didn't include any "TRL" era pop acts like Britney Spears.

One DVD features a "Yo! MTV Raps" performance, which is slightly out of place since it's a music video compilation.

Instead of having the promos inbetween videos (like how they were shown on tv), it would've been better if there's a bonus feature with MTV promos shown for 10 minutes. Also MTV interviews and maybe bits from their documentries aired around that time.

For the 20th anniversary, they could've released sets like "Club MTV", "Unplugged", and even best of "Headbangers' Ball" or "Yo! MTV Raps"...

Then again, there was a "Video Music Award" performance set featuring many omissions (ie Madonna "Like A Virgin", Bon Jovi acoustic performance from '89) and mostly performaces from the later 1990s/early 2000s.

Beavis & Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection Vol. 1

First of the three volume set that featured several edited episodes. Granted that the music video commentaries (several are on the bonus feature disc) were cut out for copyright reasons, but the endings of "No Laughing" and "Manners Sucks" were cut out for no reason and the first few minutes (featuring them watching "Letterman" of the episode where Beavis & Butt-Head wants to start a talk show was taken out. Oddly, a clip of the scene was shown in the documentry from the second volume and VMA clip featuring the cartoon duo with David Letterman in the audience.

Thankfully the other two volumes are good and the episodes were "uncut" (only the videos, which some are on the estras feature) despite that there's many episodes that weren't on the set.

Tom & Jerry Spotlight collection

Don't have them and not thinking of buying...

The majority are edited for "Un PC content"  and some omissions...

Not to mention one cartoon from volume one also appeared on the second volume  Roll Eyes Tongue

Sometimes those folding cases will come apart on you.  They glue the plastic holder down with something that looks like rubber cement and they can pop off.

For some reason, cases are a bit more flimsier...
