The aggravating, asinine, anarchic release of “Adventure Time” on DVD



So, DVDTalk has put a third collection of "Adventure Time" episodes in the mail to me, Jake vs. Me-Mow, and so I figured I'd update and post my checklist of "Adventure Time" episodes and their corresponding DVD releases, because Cartoon Network still apparently thinks episode collections are better than season releases. It's particularly annoying that they included Season One episodes in this third collection after Season One has been released, although maybe Cartoon Network has this insidious idea that fans will collect the whole series via collections.

*obviously, all episodes of Season One are available in The Complete Season One DVD, although here's where I complain that there was no Blu-Ray release, despite the fact that the show airs in HD and can be purchased in HD from Amazon and iTunes (although I guess the addition of being able to buy it from Amazon since the last time I checked counts as a plus).
