The Alvin Show for me. And I think the show being on DVD is probably held up by music clearances. I have a bootleg of the complete series.

The songs on The Alvin Show were public domain. Ergo, no excuse not to release all 26 episodes on DVD at all.

As for which one I prefer? Well, that would be the latter.

I grew-up with "Alvin and the Chipmunks", but I like "The Alvin Show" as well...but I give the nod to "Alvin and the Chipmunks".

Do you have a website link to where you bought it? I'd love a complete series set more than anything,

I grew up on Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s so for obvious reasons I like Alvin & The Chipmunks better, the animation was superior. I didn't discover the old The Alvin Show until years later and was shocked they had been around that long.

The 60's Alvin Show.

Both are great! I grew up with Alvin & The Chipmunks in the '80s, so I would probably have to go with that series- but I like Alvin and the gang in general. Any of their series are great- even the movies aren't too bad (not the greatest in the world- but cute enough.)

I love both and I wished they had both of all of the episodes on DVD!
