I posted when they were taking pre-orders but now the complete series of Bump In The Night is available on DVD for immediate purchase!

But if you are waiting for the DVD to come to a store near you, it’s going to be a long wait! The DVD is being released exclusively through Shout! which means that there is no plans to put it in stores. But if you want a copy, you can grab it now from Shout! right here.

You can read their product description below:

He goes a hundred miles an hour, he’s green dynamite
His name is Mr. Bumpy, he goes Bump In The Night!

Mr. Bumpy (Jim Cummings) is a wild green guy living under the bed, gobbling up dirty socks, rocking the night away and getting into adventures with his pals Squishington (Rob Paulsen), the neat-freak bathroom monster and Molly Coddle (Gail Matthius), a comfort doll who consoles those in need. A classic Saturday morning cartoon that aired from 1994 to 1995, this claymation program was highly creative and featured fantastic karaoke songs.

This set includes all 26 episodes form the two-season series, including the iconic fan favorite “Night Of The Living Bread”.

Mr. Bumpy is the role Jim Cummings received his Annie Nominations for so you don’t want to miss this classic from his earlier career.

Instead of being first in line to see Iron Man 2 in the theatres this weekend, why not get yourself a copy of Iron Man: The Animated Series. The complete series is available on DVD for the first time ever.

In this series, Jim Cummings M.O.D.O.K. (sometimes written out as MODOK) which is an acronym for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing.

You can read a review of this DVD release here.

(If anyone has a copy of Iron Man on DVD already, would you mind taking some screenshots of Jim Cummings’ M.O.D.O.K.? I can find versions of him from every version of Iron Man except this one, unfortunately.)

If you order the DVD from Amazon, they are offering several discounts and combination offers so you should be able to get a really good deal.

Thanks to Voice Chasers for bringing these two videos to my attention. They are older but a must watch for fans of voice actors. They star Jim Cummings, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, and Danny Mann.

Part 2:

So I have been working hard on the Jim Cummings portfolio section of the site, trying to get the listing of his most popular characters and roles up. Now as the man has hundreds and hundreds of credits to his name, it’s going to take me a while so I’m going to just do a few whenever I can. Gotta squeak work on this site around my day job, you know how it is.

What this means for you is that the portfolio section of the site will be incomplete for a while but will update very slowly as I have a chance to make new pages. I’m not doing them in any logical order, just as I feel like it.

On the plus side, instead of a boring old list, the new portfolio pages are pretty slick. Each one lists the project (TV show, movie, etc) that Jim Cummings was in, who he played and then (wherever possible) pictures of the character, video clips and where you can get the DVD or download (if the item is available on DVD or download) and then a section for comments so that you can add your favorite quotes or other memories of the characters making it interactive. It’s a lot more work per show than a simple list but I think you’ll really like the result.

A few random pages are up already so if you have a chance, why not take a look at them and let me know what you think.

Here’s what’s up so far:
