Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot

The show "Big Guy and Rusty" was deceptively interesting. Upon first hearing of it, I thought it would be off the air within a week. Of course, I had never read the comic, mind you. Little did I know that one viewing of one episode would lead to me become an absolute fanatic of the show. Not only has it inspired me to buy all the comics relating to the show, but has also inspired me to be a better American and to show respect for my country. That's right, folks. A kid's cartoon show has compelled to salute the flag and recite the pledge of allegiance.

This was an awesome show that I'd wake up at 6am for. Why'd it end? Did anyone see the last episode? Was there any ending to the show? The comic was incredible but I think it was only one issue and Rusty came only at the very end. That sucked and I wish Darrow and Miller made more. Darrow's illustrations are incredible. He also designed the matrix sentinels and other mechanical devices such as the gun used to suck out the bugs and the Nebucannezzar. Geoff's comic illustrations are so detailed he draws on huge sheets of paper that are then condensed to comic size pages. I also noticed while watching this show that Rusty and Bobby Hill from King of the Hill have the same voice. Cool.

I watched this on Fox Kids and grew attached to it. It was funny, patriotic, and Rusty was so cute. The plot of this show was really clever and the characters were all interesting. Especially Jenny the monkey.(LOL) She was so funny.

My favorite episodes were: "Rumble in the Jungle" and "Nephew of Neugog", tho I found all the episodes to be really well written and very entertaining. My favorite character was Rusty, who had the same voice(Pamela Segall)as Bobby Hill on "King of the Hill" and Spinelli on Disney's "Recess". I am a fan of both of those shows.

I suggest this show to everyone and give it 9/10 stars.

You see... the main thing that mad me really not like the show was robot kid his face was so disturbing to me I immediately stopped watching it I could not even get through the first episode! I don't like the intro either.. I give this some credit though the design for the big robot (i don't know his name) is really cool! Though I am not watching anymore of it i would much rather watch other shows nevertheless it's okay.. for my standards at least.

The artistic contributions of Geof Darrow are great. His designs were used for most of the vehicles and Legion Ex Machina Technology The legion did not appear in the 1995 comic book seres). His Dr. Spiderhead is also the inspiration of Dr. Noidburgh. This cartoon is one of the better shows to come from fox but is being replaced by thier crappy cartoon version of the avengers.
