¡Fenomenoide!

Every episode is packed to the gills with hilarity! Not only are the Freakazoid bits brilliant but so are the rest: Toby Danger, Lawn Gnomes, Huntsmen, Lord Bravery (think the Monty Python of Heroes), and everything else rules. Also the voice actors are great, like Ed Asner as Cosgrove and Jonothan Harris (AKA Dr. Smith from Lost in Space). One of the best cartoons but was aimed for the wrong audience. Great songs, likable hilarious characters (like Lobe: the villain with a low self-esteem and Cosgrove whose easily distracted by various things), wonderfully brilliant yet strange stories, jokes galore, homages and spoofs, great use of Stock footage for comedy. BRING IT BACK!

Why in the world did this show get bad reviews? The jokes on actors and movies are hilarious! For example, when Freakazoid gives the truck driver a ticket, it wasn't a fine, it was a ticket to Jerry Springer! This show is absolutely hilarious, and it contains the wackiness from Animaniacs and makes it even funnier. It should've lasted as long as the Animaniacs as well, considering how funny it is! If you're looking for a show that will make you laugh REALLY hard, look no further than Freakazoid!

Freakazoid! is one of Spielberg's best executive-produced cartoons in the history of animation. It puts cartoons in a perspective of many different kinds of mishaps and spoofs galore. Think of it bad if you must, but I think it's a good stead of cartoons that should go on and on.

Why wasn't this on longer? All I have now are the insanely late showings on the Cartoon Network at 5 in the morning. I love this show. As someone who was late into my teens when this debuted, I could appreciate the obscure pop culture humor that makes this cartoon well above the average Saturday morning fare. This is not a show for kids, this is a cartoon for grownups who actually KNOW what Lost in Space was and get the vast numbers of jokes that go over the heads of most of our younger counterparts.

Oh, I miss this show. The script was so good, terribly well-written and ever so funny. Between this and them taking MST3K away, I really can't think of anything to live for anymore... *sigh*. At least they still rerun them.

"Freakazoid!" was a blast from Richard Stone's demented theme music ("Super teen extraordinaire/Freakazoid, Freakazoid/Runs around in underwear/Freakazoid, Freakazoid...") to the credits; probably Steven Spielberg's best TV show not to involve Pinky and the Brain, this was too good to last long. And probably too skewed at serious fans for wide acceptance - but you could hardly call it run-of-the-mill. (The way Dexter Douglas became Freakazoid is better seen than described.)

Freakazoid's adventures, blended with a plethora of supporting cartoons (like "The Huntsman," whose cartoons were an intentional buildup to nothing; and the very British "Lord Bravery" - who in one episode tried to have his name registered but ended up becoming "Lord Smoked Meats And Fishes"... no, I wouldn't want to be rescued by someone with a name like that either!) and a very healthy dose of self-reverence and in-jokes for the fans - you won't find many supposedly kids' cartoons with gags about William Shatner ("They usually disappear AFTER I perform 'Rocket Man'") - were packed with invention, never predictable and filled with more jokes per show than most live-action sitcoms. Though as I said, not the most accessible show in the world... but those who get the gag will love it. I got it, and I do.

"FREAK-OUT!"
