I can't believe I payed money for this., 14 February 2002

A show like The Comic Book Kids comes along rarely. Thats not to say that there is a lack of bad television shows out there, I simply mean that it's not often I find something with absolutely no redeeming value whatsoever. Watching The Comic Book Kids is akin to setting your hand on fire, I severly recomend against it, and it will probably ruin your life. I found an old tape of this show in a bargain bin for less than a dollar, so its not that I expected a lot from it. But, I really didn't expect something this bad. Heres the plot, as well as I remember it; two kids are given magical belts by the "comic book wizard" named Fantos. These belts allow the kids to travel into the worlds of comic books, and generally waste their youth. There are other characters, but I'm only given 1000 words, and I'm not going to waste any on them. Apparently, the worlds within comic books are made up of inane dialouge, horrendous sets, awful musical numbers, and even worse acting. I honestly never thought that I'd find a show worse than Aliens in the Family, but I need not look any further. My new challenge is to find something that can match the utter baddness of this show. I only recomend this to those sick individuals like me that seek the absurd, and only then with reservations. This one aint for green-horns.
