Pirate Islands

So you say your 16 and too old to enjoy this show...well Im 22 and all I can say is that your crazy if you don't like the show, even my 50 year old mum liked it and used to watch it with me....myself, Im hanging out for the new series which I've heard is in production at the moment. Anyhoo, this show is really fantastic, its fun, adventurous, exciting and most of all Oliver Ackland (Mars) is a real cuttie, mmmm. lol:)

The last episode of Pirate islands was just shown here today (June 30) in Australia, and now that i have seen out the series I realise how much i was addicted to the show. So much so that I got my brother to tape the episodes which i couldn't be home for, and I was so distraught when he couldn't tape them for me and I had to miss out. How obsessive!

There is something which allures one to this show. Once you start watching you're addicted. i don't know if it's the whole concept that's alluring (how crazy, to be zapped into a computer game!- yet how fun!), if it's the characters (I feel Oliver Ackland might have something to do with it), or if it's the storyline and the adventure that comes with it. Whatever it is, the whole thing comes together perfectly and makes for very lighthearted, pure fun.

It's great escapism- fantasy is the best genre.

I am happy to discover that many 16, 17 even 20 something year olds love this show, despite it being a kids show. That's how cool it is.

I hope it comes out on DVD...

I can't wait for series two!

Well, i don't know about you, but i have watched this show twice already!!! Apart from the fact that Aukland is hot, the thing i love about this show the most is the crazy and creative characters they come up with. I love Blackheart the best, he's so angry and really needs to get a life. Anyway, i'm not really that into Kate, Mars is more fun. I never watched the last episode and am so frustrated because i was looking forward to it so much! I am 16 and i love this show! actually i loved all Jonathon M Shiffs work. Ocean Girl was another of my absolute favorites. You could be any age and still watch Pirate Islands, anyone who thinks differently is silly.

BRING ON SEASON TWO!!!!! :D

I first saw Pirate Islands one day when I had gotten up early and decided to veg out on the couch watchin cartoons. It was the last show on the Foxbox so I was a little tired of cartoons and glad for the humans. I was even more glad when I saw an extremely hot specimen of human. Oliver Ackland is his name and driving me crazy must be his game because as soon as I saw this cute boy I realized I was going to have to watch this show A LOT! Which is exactly what I have done. I have done my best to record shows I wasn't home for but I've missed some. I really hope they will put out a season dvd or tape. I know I'd buy it. Of course Oliver (0r Mars as he is in the show) isn't the only reason I watch the show. It has a general fun quality to it. Also, it is fun just to throw yourself into something that is just childish enough to let you have fun but not so bad that you sit there in utter disbelief. I guess to sum up Pirate Islands I'd have to say that Mars is cute, the plot is inventive, and the dialogue funny. I wish I was an alien so I could give it more than two thumbs up :)!

I know I shouldn't watch it (being after all 16 and above kid's shows) but there's something about this show that makes it really fun to watch. Maybe it is the sense of fun that pervades it, and the fact that most of the kids are good actors and there is real tension between Kate and Mars. Plus the idea of being in a computer game is fascinating.
