Papa Smurf, Brainy, Smurfette, Gargamel and Azrael…watching The Smurfs in the 1980s was not only a Saturday morning tradition, it was just a smurftastic thing to do. The predecessors to the Snorks, The Smurfs quickly became cartoon icons, firmly planting themselves in the minds of kids whose cartoon experience up to that point had been dominated by He-Man and the Looney Tunes.
For years I’ve wondered whether modern cartoons are just a bit too odd or abrasive, and almost on cue, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is answering this parent’s plea. How? By releasing The Smurfs: Season One, Volume One on DVD. And we’re so ecstatic about this DVD set’s release that we’re giving away three copies.

DVD synopsis: This set of 19 re-mastered episodes of The Smurfs is the first time the Emmy-winning cartoon series has appeared on DVD. Of course, wherever the Smurfs are, you’ll also find the evil wizard Gargamel and his cat, Azrael — plus monsters, demons and trolls — keeping our three-apple-high heroes on their tiny blue toes.
