really really cool show.

in short, it was disney's weapon against the then-uber popular BTAS crowd.

a few thousand years ago, there were gargoyles and magic and dragons and all that crap. someone placed a spell on the gargoyles turning them to stone permanently (instead of just stone by day). flash forward to present day, when a lex luthor - type guy buys an old scottish castle, adorned with gargoyles, and brings it to NYC. a lil magic here n'there and he's able to revive the gargoyles.

and chaos ensues!

from that point on, they do the regular crime fighting bit, in a spawn-like sorta way (not crap -- rather, its where they're sorta figuring things out and remembering past events as they go along)

excellent show. there were individual plot lines per episode, of course, but almost always a running plot in the background per show grouping, per season, or even the entire dynamics of the show itself.

good stuff.

as for the DVD release -- every show that is released should be done by season. other options are simply annoying, especially to completists. however, if its some gargoyles or no gargoyles, id go for some any day.
