Road Rovers

Now this show looks like most of the other shows of it's type from the mid-90's, but the only thing is about this one is that it's different, they use a lot of comedy and action in this one and maybe a little bit of drama too. I personally thought it was a good show, I can't understand why would they cancel it. The good thing is that the fan base of this show is still alive ever since 1997 up to date.

My hopes is that the WB bring back the show or even do a movie, which I know is gonna be impossible to do, but hey it doesn't hurt to dream, doesn't it?

Anyway, I would recommend if you hadn't seen it to find the DVD of all 13 episodes, because the characters are great, the story lines are good, the comedy is good and well the whole show is just great.

The Road Rovers was a great show about canine superheroes chosen by the Master to fight crime around the world. The show was hilarious to say the least. Simple and complex jokes that could appeal to all ages. Running jokes throughout the series that could spawn a drinking game. The action was mesmerizing, and cleverly set up. The characters were very original, each with a very different personality. But what made me enjoy the show the most was the depth of the characters. Each of them have struggles and emotional difficulties that are never expressed, but implied in subtext. Hopefully, one day, there'll be some way to watch the Rovers in action again.

When it comes to the horde of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles clones, Road Rovers was a very unique but decent show. I never grew up watching it, but when I learned it was made by the creator of Animaniacs, Tom Ruegger, it got me interested. I really like the concept and execution of humanoid dog heroes, but when I first watched it on Apple TV as an adult, I honestly wished it could have been better. Personally, it felt slightly mediocre to me because there are a ton of flaws in the show. Most of the humor was average, the gags were cheap and overused too much, the writing and logic felt like it was on auto-pilot, almost all the plotlines in every episode felt wasteful, Muzzle was way too overpowering, the Rovers themselves often feel and act one dimensional, stereotypical, and don't have any complex or emotional depth. For example, Blitz is basically an Arnold Schwarzenegger stereotype, as well as a narcissistic and cowardly dumb jock. I just find him to be very irritating, but I also feel sorry for him for being unfairly hated so much. Colleen however has to be probably one of the best characters in the show, because she reminds me a lot of Bayonetta. I can understand why Road Rovers has a following, but I'm not a die hard fan. Not to mention, this show came at a very late time when animation started appealing towards more mature audiences like The Prince of Egypt and Gargoyles. So in conclusion, Road Rovers is neither bad nor good, it's just... slightly decent and I guess it has gained the audience it deserved.

This show had it all. An original premise and intelligent humor. It's a pity this show only lasted one season. Great voices, animation and music. Each episode had a great story and had a great mixture of comedy, action and violence. Catch the reruns on Cartoon Network.

This was along with Freakazoid one of the funniest cartoons I have ever witnessed. Pity it didn't run longer.

Hunter- is an all American hound. a little dim sometimes but still a good leader.

Blitz- Doberman. Sounds like a cross between Arnold Schwarzenegger and both Hanz and Franz from the old SNL skits. Has an obssesion with biting the enemies 'tushies'.

Exile- Siberian husky from Russia. Got slang mixed up constaintly.

Colleen- The female of the group. A Collie naturally. Expert in judo and totally ignors Blitz.

Shag- Sheepdog. Big hairy and has a coat with with items.

Muzzle- Deranged rotweiler. Just plain nuts.

Master- the human who created the rovers and and is their 'boss' er.. master.

The show is hilarious. For example here is a quick scene from one episode:

(They are surrounding a building) Blitz: I'll bite anything that comes out of the rear. Exile: Frued would have field day with nut boy like you.
