Goofy returns along side a great cast of other goofs, including his son Max, the typical rebellious teenager, and neighbors Pete with his wife Peg, and their son P.J. Goofy is a bit older now but has seemed to avoid gaining any form of common sense as he is still reckless as ever. The series focuses mostly on Max and his adventures as a teenager, often with his friend P.J. tagging along.
This DVD release of “Goof Troop, Volume 1” is another disappointing set from Disney. The disc contains a total of three episodes, which hardly scratches the surface of the shows 79 episode run. While the three episodes included are all good, I still feel that they should have followed along with the release template they used on DuckTales and Rescue Rangers, both which boast a respectable 27 episodes on three discs for only about twice as much as this single disc costs.
The episodes included in the set are “Slightly Dingy”, in which Max and P.J. go on a fishing trip with their fathers, which of course turns into a contest as to determine who is the better fisherman out of the two dads. "Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape" has Max hoping to win a trip through sending in a home video to The Worlds Most Painful Home Videos, which stars none other then his father. The last episodes is "Shake, Rattle, and Goof", where Max and P.J. start up a rock band, only to have their fathers interfere, Goofy joining up on none other then a Ukulele. Not terrible episodes, but not the best of the series either.
Like its release partner “Quack Pack”, I recommend passing on this set until future releases are known. This set offers no special features either, aside from the standard advertisements that most things seem to be getting nowadays. The episodes do not seem to be remastered or touched up in any way, which is another disappointment. Hopefully Disney will figure out that people want box sets, not small bite size discs like this. They've not been enhanced in the least from their original TV appearances, making this offering seem all the more cheap.
