Question Regarding Madman G1 DVD Season 1

[5FDP]

I've been wanting to ask this question for a while now but kept forgetting - for those that have the Madman G1 DVD Season 1 boxset, have you ever noticed that the opening titles for More Than Meets The Eye (Parts 1 - 3) show the opening title for Season 2?

I found this quite odd considering that a season 2 was not planned at that stage.

Does anyone know the reasons why they did this?

Madman got it wrong? It wouldn't be the first time. (Or the second time, or third or... heck... it wouldn't even be the thirtieth time.)

My belief too. The actual original aired versions of MTMTE may no longer exist after years of syndication, but they likely did have the original season 1 opening opening credits.

I just checked, you are indeed correct.
The opening for "More Than Meets The Eye" shows the opening title for Season 2.
Probally one of those production muck ups or that the version they had to put on the disk just happened to have the wrong opening.

Didn't Rhino originally make this stuff up, and Madman just copied off theirs?

[5FDP]

Yeah, it doesn't really make any sense because they have the opening titles for the first season - most of the episodes in the boxset (season 1) have the correct opening

Is there a representative from Madman that visits these boards who can perhaps shed some light on this?

[Gutsman Heavy]

could try posting on the madboards, they generally seem to respond to questions

There was a Madman rep at the Sabretron 2004 convention, and Madman's stall was right next to the OTCA stall at the Smash! convention in 2009. </pluggage>

Does anyone here own the Rhino DVDs who can confirm/deny my theory?

[5FDP]

This clip is taken from the Rhino DVD release (More Than Meets The Eye Part 2) and shows the correct intro for season one. Not sure if your theory is correct Goki. It's looking more like Madman stuffed up on their own.

Well I got both the US and Oz release of the first box for G1, I will have to check it when I get home.
