La squadra del tempo

I think the title explains itself, doncha think?

If there's one thing I learned from watching this cartoon is this: Do NOT underestimate its content.

When I first watched "Time Squad", I was not impressed with it. I too thought it was dull and annoying. I figured that it was going to be another stupid made-for-Cartoon Network cartoon (a "Cartoon Cartoon") that would become overrated overtime.

Imagine my surprise when I was reunited with this insane show.

I found myself laughing at it from the parodies, the pop culture references, the puns, the stupidity, the way the historical characters are corrupted, the campiness, the broad humor that can get really racy at times...it was all there.

However, I think of this show as a show for the older crowd who still watches cartoons (I mean, what kids is going to watch a show like this when they have those annoying Nicktoons?).

This show is really dear to me and its proven to be a favorite if you have the attention span for it and if you don't watch Cartoon Network for the classic cartoons (which aren't bad, but they get overplayed).

I felt compelled to respond to the first review. While Cartoon Network has become a shill for Warner Bros (thanks to the buy out) it still does some gutsy stuff and Time Squad is a good example. It is quick witted and does some brilliant parody. Sure, its no Ren and Stimpy or even Dexter's Lab, but, its not Cardcaptors or Grim and Evil either(there is a cartoon that is DOA). If you watch Cartoon Network simply for the Looney Tunes, you will not enjoy Time Squad. But, if you are willing to look at it with an open mind, you will get a laugh.

Why is Big Guy and Rusty not on Cartoon Network?

This show was one of the best! Just how the most unlikely characters were tossed together in the show: Otto Osworth: An orphan, and proud history whiz, The Lawrence 3000 (Larry): A sissy, sarcastic robot with a classical taste, and Buck Tuddrussel: An idiotic Time Squad cop that always seems to say the wrong thing, at the wrong time. Together, they work to put history back in order to keep the future from changing drastically, or for the worse.

There is always some hilarious obstacle, like the Boston Tea Party actually being a Tea Party, Sigmund Freud hypnotizing his patients to act like animals, Napolean always being dragged away by his wife, the Mafia acting as Clowns, or Abraham Lincoln joining a band of pranksters. Somehow, the job always seems to get done, and history is saved.

In my most humble opinion, Time Squad is the best show on Cartoon Network. Its interesting characters and plain silliness make it stand out. My favourite aspect of Time Squad is the way the characters interact. Although I am, apparently, the only true fanatic of Time Squad, I would recommend this to anyone who simply likes the pure zany humour that I find in this show.

...I have to say that I really like this show. I also have fun editing for it and the quotes that people send in. I also like competiting with the cartoon strip-miner, Candace Elder (aka candy17)(who Angel-Marie sounds suspisiously like), on what's a goof and what's not (ex: "when Tuddrussel was screwing Larry's head on his body (after being beaten up by the farmers), Larry's expression changes when Tuddrussel says..." and "Al Capone's cigar changes length throughout the episode."). Plus I get word about new episodes from a myserious contributer named "BURGERTRAINS". Plus I post many episode ideas in the viewer comments, enspired by a contributer named "vze28cxg". In short, Time Squad is fun to watch and fun to edit.
