A total of 75 syndicated episodes over two seasons were broadcast from September 1985 to November 1986. The first season consisted of 65 episodes, but the second season, whose theme centered around auto racing instead of crimefighting, lasted only ten episodes.

Production

One of many cartoons produced during the 1980s as a vehicle for toy merchandising, M.A.S.K., was a hybrid of popular era cartoons G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and The Transformers.{{cn|date=June 2018}} When originally broadcast, M.A.S.K. was the first closed-captioned series to air in first-run syndication.[4]

Home video

Several episodes of the series were released under Karl-Lorimar's "Kideo Video" branding on VHS in the 1980s, with two episodes per tape. The "racing" second season was distributed by Tempest Video. Several episodes were edited together into feature-length shows and released under the titles M.A.S.K The Movie, and M.A.S.K The Movie II.

M.A.S.K. episodes have been released on DVD in three different regions.

  • USA: Shout! Factory acquired the Region 1 DVD rights and released a "Complete Series" set on August 9, 2011[5] containing only the episodes from the first season of the original series (65 episodes), as well as a separate 2-Disc collection of the first 11 episodes, called "Volume 1" and released the same day.[6] The second season, which consists of 10 episodes, are owned by Cookie Jar Entertainment and are not part of the acquisition.[7]
  • UK: Collection 1 was released in the UK in November 2007 by Jetix Films Home Entertainment and FOX Kids International - Maximum Entertainment, containing the same number of episodes as the Australian set. Collection 1 was re-released on 31 August 2009, and Collection 2 was finally released on 28 September 2009. Both sets (The re-issue Collection 1 and Collection 2) are distributed through Lace DVD, replacing Maximum Entertainment, and both sets are in Region 2 PAL format. All 75 episodes were released across both sets.
  • Australia and New Zealand: Madman Entertainment released the complete series over two DVD collections for the first time in Australia and New Zealand. Collection 1 was released in November 2006 and contains episodes 1 - 38, Collection 2 was released in March 2007 and contains episodes 39 - 75 which includes the season 2 episodes.[8]

Reception

IGN voted M.A.S.K. the 99th-best animated series in 2009, calling it one of the most popular cartoon/toy marketing franchises of the 1980s, stating that it took many of the strengths of G.I. Joe and Transformers while taking few of their flaws.[9]
