User Reviews

I Remember This!

I used to watch this show when I was a kid. It was great. Excellent stories, fun but deep characters, and the animation is great even by today's standards.

It wasn't afraid to take an honest look at real-life problems and there were always consequences. I remember the episode with the boy dying from the drug overdose, and it had a profound impact on me and to this day I have never touched them.

I wish this would at least come back out on DVD, the world needs heroes like this again.
