My Pet Monster

I have seen both the Live Action Movie (pilot for tv???) and the Animated Series (made after the movie) really enjoyable 1980s fun. Max's sister in the movie & series is played by Alyson Court and Colin Fox plays Dr Snyder in the movie & Mr Hinkle in the series. In the movie Max has an older brother whose girlfriend has a poodle, in the series Mr Hinkle has a poodle. I would like to suggest that Chuckie (Max's friend in the series) could be a replacement for Rod (Max's older brother in the movie). The animated series is a better way of selling the toy as it includes the orange cuffs and separates Max & the monster instead of Max turning into the monster when he is hungry.

I still remember when it was on television every Friday morning

The basic premise of this show was that a kid had a monster who wore handcuffs, but he was just a toy. When the kid needed the monster, the monster would come to life and brake his chains and kick the bad guys asses! The toy version of the toy monster with the chains was quite popular...moreso than the show.

I was just sorting out my old videos from when i was a kid when i came across this little gem. The story was absolutely brilliant as i remembered (to me as a kid anyway). A kid who turns into a blue monster when hes hungary - masterpiece. I advise anyone who remembers or would like to see it to check it out as it was a favorite of mine!

This show was pretty good, but I don't remember it that well, I remember a few kids, hung out with a monster no one can know about! It was pretty cool! The bad guy couldn't get hit back into his dimension. I suggest this show.
