From the moment Thurl Ravenscroft intoned, "Gold doubloons and pieces of eight/ Handed down to Applegate," "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure" became one of the best-loved serials on the The Mickey Mouse Club, second only to "The Adventures of Spin and Marty." Gifted young actors Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk make a believable pair of adolescent sleuths: Frank and Joe Hardy want to follow in the footsteps of their father, private detective Fenton Hardy. Summer vacation in the little town of Bayport seems boring until Frank and Joe run into Perry Robinson, a new kid in their neighborhood, who them leads into the search for the long-lost pirate treasure of local eccentric Silas Applegate. There's plenty of low-key daring-do, suitably sinister villains, misread clues, and wholesome comedy to keep young children (or grandchildren) occupied while Baby Boomers delight in recalling how they enjoyed the adventure in the mid-'50s. The extras include the entire Mickey Mouse Club show from Oct. 1, 1956, when Considine and Kirk presented a preview of the new serial, and a short feature on how the Disney crew adapted the popular boys' books to television. Host Leonard Maltin conducts an agreeable interview with a disconcertingly aged Considine and Kirk. This Disney Treasure is a must-have for viewers who grew up during the '50s--or younger audiences who want discover the answer to the question, "Now where are those gold doubloons and pieces of eight?" (Rated G, suitable for ages 5 and older: mild violence) --Charles Solomon

As I watched these Hardy Boys serial episodes, my mind found me firming planted on the floor behind the living room coffee table, patiently waiting for my Mother and the arrival of my favorite peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a cold glass of milk and hopefully, several delightful Oreo cookies.
This was my after-school ritual while I waited in anticipation for the next suspenseful Hardy Boys edition.
After 50+ years without, I was as entertained today as I was back then! Walt Disney is to be commended for the quality and timeless efforts featured in this mini-series. A must see for all generations!!!

Mystery of the Applegate Treasure June 14, 2008
The reason I purchased so I could revert to a 12 year old for a short time... I can so vividly remember rushing home to catch this seriel on the MMC... I was really srprised at the great quality of the DVD picture for such an aged telecast..Its nice to reminice those good years..oh well.

I loved seeing the old serial again. I wish Disney had included more than just one Mickey Mouse Club episode. I loved the interview with Tim Considine and Tommy Kirk!
