JTV / Johnny Vs. Bling Bling 2

Best of the Test
Meet Johnny Test - not to be confused with another kid with a similar name. He's just your average 11-year-old boy with a workaholic mom, overly strict dad, scientist sisters, and a talking dog.

Okay, that last part kinda makes him less than average, but Johnny is a real go-getter and always up for almost anything as long as it's up to his boyish interests from super powers to a turbo-charged scooter or backpack. No matter what crazy experiment his sisters Susan and Mary do to him, he along with his dog and canine confidante Dukey somehow get into trouble but then suddenly find a way out of it. That's how this crazy series works with 26 episodes from the first 2 seasons on 3 discs. (And P.S., you may want to note that the art and animation style is different when comparing the first and second seasons down to each and every episode.)

It's quite a collection, you know. Plus, there's big bonus features like DVD-ROM content, a sneak peek at the Johnny Test...

Good value but no widescreen???
I was amazed that they decided to release two seasons in one set at the same price as one season. This is an incredible value. The only thing I despise is the fact that they gave us 4:3 ratio for season 2 when it is available in widescreen on other Johnny Test DVDs that are already out (Gametime, Johnny and Dukey, Johnny vs. Bling Bling Boy, Johnny X and Super Pooch). The only season that should be in standard 4:3 is season 1. I have no idea why this was done but with 16:9 TVs being the standard now, it seems to be a waste. Other than that, this is a great set to have if you enjoy the cartoon.

Terrible packaging
This is a great release, having 2 seasons for such a low price. However, the packaging is down right AWFUL! Is there a reason that the discs come in CD-Rom little packages instead of disc holders like a REAL DVD? And why are all the discs the same picture but just the disc number changed? It makes me feel like I purchased a bootleg. Other than that, the episodes are in nice quality and play fine.
