Quotes:

Gus Lloyd: I don't remember programming you to be so full of crap.
Sebastian Jackal: Kid... think to yourself... why did you create me?

Lots of stupid sci-fi fun.

Christopher Lloyd starred in this extremely short-lived TV series. I enjoyed it very much, my favorite memory being of going to Jack-in-the-Box and getting a Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich every Tuesday night just before it started. The show is pretty dumb, with okay special effects and a stupid plot, but it's still a lot of fun. Enjoyable entertainment.
