Where are season 2 and 3, been looking every place that I can think of but nothing, I wants them I needs them... my precious
Unfortunately I think it's unlikely that the second two seasons will appear on DVD - unless, as Oberon says, you can put up with (and understand!) the French dub. After initial excitement the release of Season 1 received a rather lukewarm reception, given the lack of extras and the fact that the episodes had been trimmed. I can't imagine sales were too good - it was conspicuous by its absence in the stores I went into, had to get it online. Consequently I think it's unlikely that they'll bother to release the rest, unless there happens to be some fabulously wealthy BMFM fan out there who will buy the rights!
Anyhow, I agree it's frustrating. I've been lucky enough to get the few episodes from Seasons 2 and 3 that were released on VHS - including the infamous Once Upon a Time On Mars - but it's so irritating that I can't get the rest.
The French DVDs might have the English dub included.
Nope, they don't. I own 2 of 3 french volumes and the 3rd is on its way... French only there.
BTW, speaking of VHS tapes... I've already bought all 1st season episodes and OUTOM trilogy and going to buy everything else once it's available... As I know, "Back to Mars" and "We're Going to Cheesyland" (full list of episodes on that tape is unknown to me) tapes also exist, but I don't have an opportunity to get those yet...
So does anyone have a full list of BMFM VHS tapes ever released? Maybe some other episodes have been released?
oooooh I want links! *bats eyelashes* I'm looking for a specific episode on season 2 that's why, number six
All right then- but remember, these are in .rar folders (search freeware home on google, then search rar on the site, if you don't have the ability to unpack rar folders) and the base files are in avi format. And I'm not totally sure that they're in english, but I do know they're in russian. And the folders are huge.
Good luck, and tell me if these work (better yet, post 'em on Youtube so we can all watch, please!!) :

That's starting to sound like copyright infringement to me.

If they re-release the original unedited (what did they edit out, btw?) and include 2 & 3 with it, that COULD get the sales they were hoping for... Why must everything be edited or 'trimmed'? :/
Blame the censors for the cuts...they probably think that the old series is "too violent" because of all the punches that are thrown (and connect) in it, though there are a LOT more violent shows being shown (and released on to DVD) these days that it's not worth their effort. All they're doing is getting people who love the show (like us) mad and losing money when they realize that we won't pay for "edited" Biker Mice from Mars Season Box sets.
I think the edits were for timing reasons (they seem to match repeats from a couple of years ago which were trimmed - hey, who needs cartoons when you can watch adverts?!); most of the cuts are fairly minor, just little bits here and there, so if you weren't familiar with the originals you probably won't notice them. Criminally, however (and the person responsible should be hunted down and hung, drawn and quartered) the pastiche of 'Midnight Special' has been entirely erased from 'Hard Rock'.
Seasons two and three are only available in France, I think. Unless you'd rather take a gamble and try some download links I have... (waves links around tantalizingly) They're pretty big but they look valid.
