Adorable in every facet.

This show is one of my brightest childhood memories. I fondly remember even the theme music. The goofy juvenile humor was classic in its purity...I'd sell a kidney to find out whatever happened to Galkin or Torres, for that matter. It's really a crying shame that kids today don't have goodies like "Hey, Dude" of their own. I would have settled for a rotating cast and horrible laugh tracks just to get it back.
