 Great Disney Series October 16, 2007

I loved Spin and Marty. I was very sad when it was over and will watch it again. I remember it as a kid and it brought back a lot of nice memories. I really hope they will bring out the New Adventures Of Spin and Marty. I'm ready to ride back to the Triple R!
Spin and Marty Forever September 4, 2007

I always loved Spin and Marty, I thought it was the best part of the Mickey Mouse Club. My grandchildren now watch and love Spin and Marty as well as the Original Mickey Mouse Club. My 6 year old grandson asked where the color was and I explained that back then they didn't have color t.v. he said "OK" and that was that, he looks forward to watching Spin and Marty, color or not. I must say, it still holds the same excitement for me as it did when I was a kid.
perfect summertime show August 25, 2007

This was a fun adventure at the Triple R. Had a great time watching this series including the Mickey Mouse club at the beginning which had the Introduction episode and a Mousekartoon. As you know this is what I call good TV unlike today. Perfect for the whole family since it has adventure, comedy, and even a little education on horses. Therefore this DVD is definitly worth buying. I am hoping that Disney releases The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty.

I won't go into the myriad existing reviews of this serial. The Disney Co., knows their babyboomers, their kids and their children's children and they release their feature films--live and animated and now series for short periods of times and pull them from circulation for the next generation. Some contain no extras, and others a few. "Disney Treasures" do come with COA's, nice but not very informative booklets and some extra features and they all cost more than a regular DVD.
It's nice to see the happy neighborhoods of yesteryear, the crewcut boys with dollops of "greasy kid stuff" in their hair and a clean, boy's dude ranch among others things. Buyer beware. The "Treasures" come in flimsy and easy to dent metal boxes and everything the company has to offer for the price is strictly for the collector or those who trip on their feet during the good old innocent days. Most of the films (not all of them) have great sound and transfers and some are shoddy.
It's all part of the ingenious marketing of a large corporation to entice the above mentioned people. I'm not complaining, I just think nostalgia should be better priced than the Disney offerings.
Spoiled rich kid comes to Tripple R June 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Martin Markum is a spoiled rich kid who comes to the Tripple R ranch. He is trouble right from the start. He calls the tripple R a Dirty old farm. When the the other boys play a joke on Marty by putting a frog in his bunk, Knowing that it was Spin's Idea-Marty wants to knock his block off. There's a boxing match between Spin & Marty. Yep-that's how they do things at the tripple R-whenever two kids wants to fight-a boxing match is formed. Marty puts up a real good fight-the match is declared a draw.
Bill Burnett(Harry Carrey, JR)is the ranch counseler in charge of straightening out Marty. His Job won't be easy because Marty is stubborn. Marty gets himself into a jam when he tells the other boys that he plays polo. Before that he tells Burnett that he's never been on a horse before. As Mr Burnett points out "For someone who's never been on a horse, you sure picked yourself a hobby"
Early on Marty makes friends with Ambition & Freddie. Marty also meets skyrocket-a horse. A special bond is formed between skyrocket and Marty. In time Marty becomes friends with more of the boys and becomes easier to get along with. However, when the truth comes out that Marty never played Polo-he tries to run away-but he decides to go back to the ranch.
Spread out over 25 10 min episodes, this serial aired as part of the Mickey Mouse club in the mid 50's. It's nice having the entire serial on DVD. The story culimates with the Big rodeo between Tripple R and Northfork. Spin and Marty become freinds. Marty will never be the same again.
This is fun to watch. Boys were allowed to be boys. There's some funny moments-besides the frog incident, there a scene where Ambition and Freddie "Fixed" Marty's jeans! Then there's the Live ghost trick that Marty and ambition played on Spin & two others.
This is clean wholesome fun from Disney.
