Shouldve been released in a single 2disc DVD set, not broken up over two


Don't get me wrong -- I'm delighted that Filmation released this series on DVD at all in such fine quality. I purchased Vol. 1 when it was released, and Vol. 2 a couple of weeks ago (although I had to pay big bucks for Vol. 2, as it's now out of print).

But I cannot fathom why it was coupled with the Lone Ranger series. It's a completely different and distinct show. Nothing against the Lone Ranger series (although Zorro was better in every way), but the two are separate entities.


Instead of this insanity:

DVD Set 1:
Lone Ranger disc 1
Zorro disc 1

DVD Set 2:
Lone Ranger disc 2
Zorro disc 2


clearly it should have been this;


DVD Set 1:
Lone Ranger disc 1
Lone Ranger disc 2

DVD Set 2:
Zorro disc 1
Zorro disc 2


Then, each set could have had its own unique cover art. Zorro's could have had a night theme in Old California, and Lone Ranger's a day theme in the Old West.

I cannot fathom why they merged the two this way, when they'd be better appraised as separate entities.

they just released a single disc of all 13 episodes, I pre-ordered it as soon as I saw it, you can get it for less than $10 easy. I totally forgot about this series until I pre-ordered it, it was one of my early childhood favorites, really underated show.
