I'd like to see a box set that contains all 28 episodes of the 70s live action show, the 2 episodes of Isis that guest starred CM, and all 13 cartoons (from the 1980s "Kid Superpower Hour with Shazam"some written by Paul Dini, btw). Toss in audio commentary by Jackson Bostwick and Michael Grey on select episodes, maybe as bonus features, some of Bostwick's home movies on the filming of the show and the Drew Carey episode with CM, and I think that would make any CM fan very happy.

I would say the most likely release scenario is that WB puts it out through their Warner Archives manufacture-on-demand program. My guess would be a release for the live action show and one for the caartoon, though they could just do a complete Shazam release. However, it will be bare bones, without remastering. There just isn't a viable commercial market, bootlegs notwithstanding.

To get back to a former question: it was neither Lyle Waggoner Nor Adam West that voiced the elders in Shazam! the producers themselves (according to an interview with Bostwick)provided the voices of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury (saved them money by NOT having to pay others to do it.
However it does state in the cast list and his own page that West Voiced Hercules in ONE episode (the final one actually "Out Of Focus") i went back on Youtube (you can watch the entire series on that site) and watched the episode again. can't say it wasn't him but can't be sure it was since he may have done it in a different pitch or tone. (Doesn't Sound Like Him To Me But I Won't State Catagorically It's Not Adam West Either) -

I agree. There were some parts of "Spider-Man Unlimited" that needed to be improved like some of the voice acting and some of the dialogue. But on the other hand it was good. I kind of liked Spider-Man's new look in this series not like I didn't like the old traditional costume but still I thought the new costume was cool. I also thought it was sort of like Batman Beyond.
I still wish that Fox Kids didn't cancel this show on a cliffhanger, I hate it when good cartoon action shows get canceled on cliffhangers! I wish Fox Kids would have aired the second season of this show. -

I'd like to own the series on DVD too, hopefully with a feature about what plans they had for Series 2. Perhaps we should start an online petition?
i agree its a shame they never made season 2 marvel cartoons most of them seem to end with a cliffhanger and never follow it up -

There is a DVD out, if you look for iyt you'll find it.
As for season 2
http://www.sobolov.com/spidey2.html
Check that link, according to what it says, we can make out that the tiger guy would've heped spidey out. So maybe that's how spidey got saved and saves the people after the cliffhanger episode Sadly, We'll never know though.
As for if there were more episodes made?
Well, there were 6 scripts of the second season made but they were never animated.
And also they had an order of 26 episodes of Spidey unlimited. What i'd like to know is why didn't we get those freaking 26 episodes?
Fox is runned by morons -

The only DVDs available are pirated versions, recorded directly from the series' TV run. It would be much better if there was an official boxset (2-3 DVDs?) that collected the first season, possibly including a featurette that gave details about the unreleased second season (script overviews, concept art, etc).
Who currently owns the license, and what would need to be done in order to get a DVD release approved? -

Not true. Screw-On Head, based on the Mignola one-shot, had a pilot (actually released online) which has now made it's way onto DVD. Ten bucks for 22 minutes isn't that cheap, but it's got some great commentary and a behind-the-scenes feature.
We got this because of the fans. They kept pushing for it, and eventually got the release. Keep trying with Global Frequency; maybe we'll get lucky.
