- It’s a good thing the Blazing Saddles sitcom never made it to air, especially if Spaceballs: The Animated series is any representation of its quality:

this show looks like a 2002 newgrounds animation project and not something that aired on TV or had Mel Brooks involved in its production honestly
You're absolutely spot on with that. It looks completely amateur, like some really weird flash animation
It almost reminds me of the early/mid 2000s star wars gangster rap parody animations
Why I'm surprised he mentioned it "wasn't badly animated" because it screams flash animation, which is hard to do without making it look bad.
@PestoMayo it was also the early days of flash animation at that time too.
@@jamesduncan6729 Amateur is definately the word I'd use to sum up the show. Both in writing and in animation style.
That design for Dark Helmet in the Spaceballs cartoon is a hate crime against Rick Moranis.
Even more than the actual hate-crime against rick moranis
@@kevinrhea7332 _HEY-YO!_
@@kevinrhea7332
We laugh at that but like really it’s kinda fucked up.
The dude left a career in Hollywood so he could be a good DAD. Straight up said “lol no thanks” to possibly millions of dollars so he could go be a kickass dad to his kids.
And then the poor guy gets beat up by some jackass. And the Internet laughed at him.
It could be that they were contractually obligated NOT to make it look like Moranis, sort of like how the "Real Ghostbusters" couldn't resemble any of the original actors.
@@kevinrhea7332 IIRC there was a rumor at the time that the guy who attacked Moranis did it because he was white. There's no evidence for that, the guy is schizophrenic and attacked random people.
I want the next Spaceballs to be titled Spaceballs III: the search for Spaceballs II: the search for more money!
There was a rumor for a while there was going to be a sequel, and it was going to be titled just that.
Years ago I remember reading that there was plans for a prequel. (Think right after Phantom Menace.)
Where the kid from Jerry McGuire was gonna play young Dark Helmet.
That would have been fun.
@@joelbizzell1386 I personally feel the ship sailed a long time ago to do sequel to spaceballs 1) this is a major point against it John candy is dead so any chance of having barf in it has long since pass same goes for Joan rivers and dick van patten though he wasn’t a major character but still. dom deluese is gone so no pizza the hurt. 2) Mel brooks will probably never be able to play president scroob and yogurt ever again. so the only way it would be possible is as a cgi movie and if the sound a likes for these characters aren’t out there then let spaceballs just be the original movie.
@@batman200 Oh definitely.
I would almost rather them not try.
However, twenty years ago it could have been good.
Just one more to file under "What If..."
Spaceballs VII part two: The Search for more Backstory
The animation gives me “The Nutshack” vibes.
I should also give my own account of this show as I discovered it on Netflix over a decade ago (back when Netflix started to go into streaming) and I was only able to sit through the pilot before realizing that the show was shit.
Oh, Jesus, the nutshack... You're right 🤯
The Nutshack becomes even more infuriating when you realise that it could have portrayed the culture and lives of Filipino-Americans, an underrepresented group in media, in a comedic and endearing way. But instead we got Tito Dick dick-man, baby.
To make things even worse, the Nutshack is both a terrible Myx property and a rather bad ABS CBN property, despite the creators being talented as hell.
Oh God, it does, and now I have that stupid song stuck in my head.
"It's the Nutshack"
Yeah it reminds me of the Nutshack too
The thing about most of Mel Brooks' parodies is that they spoof things but they couch the spoof in jokes that are still jokes even if you don't understand the reference. Young Frankenstein, for instance, is stuffed full of references to Frankenstein movies, but you don't need to know that to understand any of the humor.
The first two Shrek movies are also a good example of reference humour done right.
One example I can think of is in the first Shrek, where Robin Hood and co ambush Shrek, Donkey and Fiona, and Fiona takes them out with a slow motion bullet time rotation kick a la Trinity in The Matrix while also stopping mid slow-mo to fix her hair.
The joke works here even if you haven’t seen The Matrix because
A) It establishes Fiona’s character as being competent at fighting and defending herself despite what you would normally expect from a stereotypical Disney-esque princess like her. Which plays into the film’s theme of challenging the typical Disney fairytale tropes. And
B) The idea of someone stopping mid bullet time to fix themselves up and look proper is still a cute, funny little gag that stands on its own.
What the people who made Spaceballs and the first two Shrek movies understood was that you can’t just throw in a random pop culture reference and expect people to immediately get it and find it funny. You need to craft actual jokes around those references that can still work on their own merits, regardless if the viewer understands what that joke is referencing or not.
Young Frankenstein is one of the best comedy movies ever written. It works on so many levels. A true masterpiece. Blazing Saddles is genius as well.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It is a great example (even if not his best). It has so many direct references to older Dracula movies, but it’s still funny if you’ve never seen one of them.
This movie is sadly a miss for me, some great moments and prophesying...but overall it feels like someone aping Mel Brooks on a low budget.
Yeah, Mel Brooks understood how to make references. Unlike Seltzer and Friedberg who think that references ARE jokes. Not only that, but Seltzerberg assumes that the audiences have seen the movies they “reference”.
The unlimited nature of animation is both a blessing and a curse
😏👌🏻
What do you mean?
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits Because there's no limit on what they can do, i.e, they can draw the characters doing anything, in any setting, in any universe, they can make all these weird parodies and random worlds, whereas the cost of doing that in a regular film would stop it from happening
animation is unlimited if you have unlimited money, otherwise you have static characters in medium shot standing completely still relying on the dialogue to do all the heavy lifting. not everything can be the thief and the cobbler
There is nothing unlimited about that animation.
This feels more like Epic Movie: the animated series
We need spoof movies to return…if someone can do an animation on that.
Pretty much.
As long as the humor lands better
Damn...that's a cold blooded but unfortunately true line.
The way the characters move in the digital flash animation reminded me of The Nutshack. Which definitely doesn’t help it’s situation...
The Nutshack honestly looks better than this
This was better off staying forgotten.
Agreed
Yup, and you wonder why G4TV gave up and mostly rand Cops and Cheaters reruns endlessly between what was left of their original Video Game related content. Whomever was writing that crap and stamping Mel's name to it should have been Force chocked, but knowing show business they probably "failed upward" somewhere.
I knew they made a Spaceballs animated series but I had no idea this was the tone/artstyle.... great as the video is, part of me wishes I'd remained oblivious.
I find the animation style so unnerving and low effort!
This series didn't understand what made Mel Brooks' humour so good.
@@AnyBodyWannaPeanut same for me! I'd probably only seen one image before and forgotten how it looked so I was imagining the show with the style of an 80s saturday morning superhero cartoon...even though it wasn't from the 80s or about superheroes....and probably not shown on saturday mornings
It's just as bad as Star Wars Detours.
They took the blatant cash grab joke from the show and ran it so far into the ground by taking it serious...
Though It’s completely understandable that you didn’t know this show existed since It aired on the G4 network
I live with my autistic aunt. She gets hyper fixated on certain things for extended periods of time. At one point it was this show that she watched over and over and over again. I wanted to die.
As an autistic, i apologize
I’m so sorry
Back in the day, my autistic 2nd cousin was obsessed with The Wiggles
1 VHS in particular
The same one, rewound and played all day every day, I looked after her for two weeks while her mother was in hospital, as a result i REALLY hate captain feathersword
@@ComicBookGuy420 I know that game very well. Luckily we live in the age of the iPad so she can watch whatever she wants however many times she wants. Btw she turned 40 yesterday and she spent her day "beating" me at Mortal Kombat and blowing stuff up in Call of Duty. She's such a sweetheart lol.
@@jackkingsby116 lulz 15 years later I got my cousin into far cry
I'm not bad at the far cry series, but my cousin can make sniper shots I wouldn't dream of
The joke about Yogurt selling merchandise was about an agreement with Lucas.
Keep this at 69 likes
Noooo somone ruins it
Whee the real money from the movie is made.
@@dane4073 dweeb
Well, it was about how Star Wars changed the game by plastering its brand on everything and made more money off of toys and tie-ins than its already incredible box office. Changed movie marketing forever. But you're right that they had an agreement. Mel had carte blanche to reference Star Wars and Lucas's blessing so long as he agreed to never make toys of the characters. And decades later, he's held to his word.
So this is Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money.

Comixproviderftw 02 you ever saw starchaser legend of orin ever itas an animted star wars RIP off
Technically speaking; yes. 😂
That ugly, vector-based, motion-tweened, newgrounds-porn-game-level animation was the first tip that this was gonna be low-effort trash. G4's cringe-worthy "nerd culture" humor was the diarrhea icing on the turd cake. I tried watching an episode when these were on TV and found it so repulsive I didn't get more than a couple minutes in.
It was bad. We all knew it. But it was so bad, it was good. Like plan 9 from outer space bad, or police academy 25 : why the hell are we still here? was just really called in.
@@donnerblitzen1388 Some things can be so bad they're good, this isn't one of those things.
i made it 3 episodes in and gave up
When I saw the title I thought "How could I not know about an animated Spaceballs show?" Then I saw the clips and remembered I had seen it but my brain erased the painful memory LOL
Well I never knew that this was a real thing
I’m so sad that I know it exists now
Truer words have never been written before.
It's not that bad. #groupthink
Two of the episodes, including the Grand Theft Auto one was directed by Blake Leibel, better known now for murdering his fiancee in a way similar to a murder depicted in one of his graphic novels.

@@TheRealNormanBates 🤣 I laughed harder than I should have at that, take a like
Given the current state of the Star Wars franchise, an actual Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money could be a brilliant biting satire.
Although considering that Mel Brooks is 95, I don't exactly think he'd be at the helm of the new project.
9:22 "The animation isn't bad..." Stop right there, sir. It is indeed horrendous.
for 21st century animation it's not bad.
For some reason, once animation went to digital, and became infinitely faster and easier than it used to be, all execs decided to cut its budget down to like 5%. it's honestly baffling. it'd be like if everyone started starving after they developed modern food growing techniques because all the prices somehow went up
@@KairuHakubi This isn't even remotely true. Even if you only take into account series from 2008, it looks so much worse than just about everything else.
@@MetaWarlord135 nahh maybe you just don't remember. or maybe I remember wrong, but according to my memory I'm right. and I watch a lotttta TV, man.
@@KairuHakubi I can assure you that either your memory is faulty or you don't watch as much as you think you do. Off the top of my head, I can name plenty of 2008 animated shows that blow Spaceballs out of the water - Avatar: The Last Airbender, Ben 10, Codename: Kids Next Door, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy to name a few. If we limit it to adult animated shows, then The Simpsons, Futurama and Family Guy were airing in 2008, and Spaceballs looks like complete garbage next to all of those.
@@MetaWarlord135 I don't think you understood the point. Most of those are either regular-budget primetime animated sitcoms or toy-funded action shows.
KND and billy and mandy were not still around by this time, were they? If so they were almost over. That kind of fully-animated cartoon for kids was being phased out in favor of simpler-to-draw stuff. after that we got flapjack and chowder and then adventure time, kinda changing the game for that genre.. but also finally accepting a little older audiences.
Regardless, new (not coming from a powerhouse old franchise with matt groening or seth mcfarlane behind it) adult comedy animation was all shoddy cheap crap like spaceballs because they didnt expect it to make much money.
I still giggled when they jammed the radar with a jar of jam.
I saw that joke coming a mile away, and I still laughed.
It's probably not a good sign that the first time I ever heard of this show, it was when I learned about how one of the directors murdered his girlfriend
This show is the epitome of wasted potential because an animated series based on Spaceballs has so much potential.
Spaceticles
Ah yes, Space Balls in the style of The Nutshack, the perfect crossover everyone had totally wanted.
G4 was such a curse on everything it touched. It started being about videogames and tech and devolved into a second-rate SpikeTV knockoff(which was already second-rate). Their parent company (Comcast) kept trying to re-invent them and in the end they seemed to settle on every negative stereotype about gamers as a to-do checklist.
And yet, it's coming back later this year.
Spaceballs works for its comedy AND when it takes things seriously enough as a sci fi adventure.
The Sequel to Spaceballs either needs to be Spaceballs 2: The search for more money, or Spaceballs 2: The search for Spaceballs: 3.
Heh, the "Search for Spaceballs 2" thing could work, riffing on the huge time jump between Episodes 6 and 7 and how much story was left untold. As well as the whole phenomenon of "generational jump" sequels we've been seeing lately. (eg Creed) Everything about the world is totally different from the first movie, people keep talking about vague things that happened offscreen, etc. The search itself could even mirror the search for Luke in 7, except it's the kids looking for someone who can just explain the damn plot to them.
I do remember hearing if Rick moranis returned to acting in any form, spaceballs 2 : the search for more money would appear WITH merchandise!
Last I heard, he has returned. Dark helmet has returned!
Going straight to Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2 would be funnier.
Spaceballs 3: The Forgetting of Spaceballs: The Animated Series.
@@planescaped that was going to be made
I do recall some people call it a poor attempt to replicate "Futurama", and in some way, I do see it
More like both Futurama and Family Guy’s Star Wars parody
God the animation is nutshack levels of quality
@Very Sad what the hell was the nutshack
@@zacharyjochumsen9677 A terrible mid-late 2000s animated show that was heavily meme'd a few years ago when it was rediscovered. The animation is similar to this
Do I have a suspicion you might be covering the Napoleon Dynamite animated series in the future too if you covered Spaceballs'?
It’s definitely possible!
Second
Royalty here declaring third!
Well, Rascal sized royalty.
I just started watching that recently!
'Ello you!
There was a spate of adult oriented cartoons based on old movies around that time that all seemed to fail miserably. This, Bob & Doug, Friday, that failed Blues Brothers pilot... Usually there's a big success and then people jump on the bandwagon. I've never quite understood why so many people were jumping of a bandwagon of failure.
dont forget the failed rankin/bass coneheads cartoon
@@chriscarpenter6889 Actually... The Coneheads pilot was made BEFORE the film. Quick reminder: Coneheads was a SNL segment which became popular, lkke The Blues Brothers.
"The animation isn't bad, except for the need to overly animate female anatomy." Sorry but I have to completely disagree--the animation is atrocious, and only came close to being interesting when they went sleazy.
Someone else in the comments said it looked like a Newgrounds porn game and that's pretty much dead on.
amen, that is some awful animation, really cheap and awkward. the "sexual parts" neither add nor distract anything to it, it's bad animation in general.
It's not often that a show comes along and actually makes me angry. Its awfulness baffles and enrages me.
This animation gives me serious Nutshack vibes
Dear god
I was just about to say the same thing, it's that cell shaded vibe
And that's not a compliment
Basically nothing to look at, nothing to listen to, nothing to think about. I loved the original movie as a kid, but the cartoon was horribly mismanaged.
Did you ever see the short lived Clerks animated series? I really liked it.
❤ that show
"I'm a poet and I didn't even know it, Silent Bob...snoogans."
"Why are we walking like this?"
Clerks the animated show was eh if best. Could’ve been done better imho but I gave my copy away. As for this, ugh what absolute rubbish !
If the show had been on something like HBO/Adult Swim, I think it could've ended up doing well.

The two dislikes on this video are from people who are mad about being reminded of Spaceballs: The Animated Series
14 now
Uh oh! It's still going up. I think all two worldwide fans of "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" are setting up bot dislikes to attack this video and make it look like it's more missed than it actually is!
@@Littlegoatpaws New theory, they're people who are mad because they JUST LEARNED about Spaceballs The Animated Series.
I always wanted Mel Brooks to come back and make a special addition version of space balls, bring back the actors as they are and add scenes that were meant to be deleted scenes, like Lucas did with starwars, but just with no effort to make them match, with the actors older, and just similar sets and costumes, but a true "Search for More Money" just could be epic about now.
I quote that line about “The Search for More Money” several times a year...
Ahhh I remember when they showed this once in a marathon on G4 then never talked about it again.
How would you even parody grand theft auto it’s super self aware and filled with references already
Love your vids! Men in tights is by far the best robinhood film of all time
I'd agree but young Frankenstein and airplane
A forgotten thing I did not know existed to begin with.
*Reads title-card* Spaceballs, a forgotten failure?!? How could anyone call Spaceballs a forgotten failure? It was a great movie! It was. .. .*reads* the animated series. . . o.o. . ..Oh.
I forgot this even existed. Guess it's a good pick for the series, lol
10/10 intro
As a follow-up, will you cover Clerks: The Animated Series?
❤ that show
He'll need a new category for that: forgotten sabotagees. and good lord there are a LOT of those, including a truly heroic number from 2000. every exec was like "this is too good, get it off the TV. air the first 6 episodes out of order then cancel it. out of my sight with this genuine humor and creativity" and then we discovered them all in syndication on comedy central
@@KairuHakubi aired like 3 episodes, premier was episode 2 that Kevin Smith thought would be funny to do an 80s flashback episode, where they show clips from previous episodes, the joke being they can only show scenes from episode #1, because it was episode 2, ABC decided to air it against March Madness. in CBS after a repeat of Drew Carrey, they did this for 2 weeks, airing episode 4 in week 2, then episode 1 in week 3, and gave up on the show.
Ironically UPN offered him 13, and a plum time slot with tons of advertising but ABC was the bigger network offering 6 and he went with them.
ABC kept having the dream of male heaving viewing sitcom,so they kept developing then would kill whatever they came up with cause they had nothing to pair it with
@@petewillson205 yep that's what happened alright. funny since UPN was much more of a fit for the show.
what's this about male heaving?
3:01 **john candy spinning in his grave intensifies**
Jesus, that was sad to watch. I was almost happy I didn't know this existed.
The way Dark Helmet was drawn, it’s no wonder the series was canceled.
I saw this when it aired. I got through the first 10 minutes of an episode.
i stumbled upon this thing on Netflix when i was about 10. i never regretted anything faster in my entire life.
The funny thing is the premises reminds me of Excel Saga, one of my favorite anime that essentially a show that parodies various manga/anime genres but also entertainment as a whole from around the world. What made that work is that the initial plot between all of this was that the main characters were trying to take over the world and each episode revolved around them trying to do so based around whatever genre they were parodying so the main story itself was a blank slate of sorts. It lent itself to no real 'main' genre so it taking the form of another series or tone could fit. There was an episode where they played out the whole thing as a serious anime with no over the top gags at all until the end and even that was funny because you knew the series they were trying to immatate so when the parodies popped up, you couldn't help but laugh because even in trying to be serious you couldn't take it seriously.
Comparing that to Spaceballs, Spaceballs already *IS* a parody of the sci-fi genre so them trying to parody everything was moving a bit too far out of their wheelhouse even though I think a lot of what they did could have been snuck in as gags to support the main thing they were parodying.
I had no idea this existed. I really enjoy your channel. Keep putting out quality stuff.
Animation looks on par with the Nutshack.
3:50 That is so awesome! What an honour
Feels like they didn't know who their audience was
flash animation? no wonder it failed.
I remember this was hyped for a long time on G4. Then things went silent for a while. Later one Saturday, all the episodes were burned off in a day. I had to work, so I missed half the episodes. I don't recall re-runs either. G4 sucked at programming post 2005.
Except for code Monkeys. I think also MXC was on there before spike TV took it. I think.
@@donnerblitzen1388 The best thing G4 offered after they got rid of 99% of the tech/gaming stuff was expo coverage. E3, Comicon and CES was great. Almost made up for the fact they ran COPS and Cheaters for nearly 24 hours a day. Those who didn't see TechTV/G4 pre Sarah Lane and Kevin Rose leaving AOTS missed out.
I worked on this!!!! :D It was my first job as jr animator. So many memories lol
How does it feel knowing the uh, success of this show today?
Have you made better stuff since?
@@kh22912 It was huge success for me! I moved from Toronto to Los Angeles for a year to work on a network TV show. When I moved back to Canada I started working as department lead in my mid twenties. I've worked on Need for Speed series at EA, an academy awarded nominated short "3:19", many commercials and I was recently Art Director of a 3D Barbie movie for Netflix. Sadly, I have yet to do anything truly impressive such as your "Viking Battle Reenactment" at a playground.
@@jesseburch6667 I am very happy for you in that this animated series was a stepping stone to other opportunities. I feel like they come out with animated 3D Barbie movies every few months now. When I was little it was once a year at least with a new Barbie movie lol
I’m not sure how I never knew this existed lol. That’s why I love this channel. Always bringing interesting stuff to the forefront
Maybe somewhere in Comic Book Guy's secret vault there is a tape of "Spaceballs: The Animated Series... Good Version."
I remember being so excited for this at the ripe Ol’ age of 11 and somehow convincing myself that it was good for a few episodes before bailing on the series after a switch went off in my head that said “Wait A Minute....This Isn’t Funny. I could be watching the movie, which is funny.”
So....That’s a part of my youth I consider to be wasted.
I remember watching this on G4 when it aired. Still don't get it, even if its based on one of my favorite movies of all time.
Spaceballs doesn’t need a cartoon. What it really needs:
• A parody of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy called *8008: A Spaceball Odyssey*
• A parody of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy called *Spaceballls 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2*
• Video games called *Spaceballs: Fattle-Bront I & II* and *Spaceballs: The Schwartz Unleashed I & II*
I remember seeing this on iTunes. I bought one episode, the video game one, and felt like I wasted my money.
I remember watching that first episode. I did not continue after it
I remember seeing a couple episodes on G4 when I was a kid and being stunned by how awful they were. Spaceballs is a classic and one of my favorite films. Spaceballs: The Animated Series is an intergalactic dumpster fire and embarrassing as hell to everyone involved including Mel Brooks. Calling it a failure is an understatement.
Another amazing review Joe! I also hope that a proper Spaceballs sequel or follow up comes along as well.
Your channel is very entertaining, keep up the great work!
This show was my first animation gig in 2007! Excited to watch a video on the train wreck!
ouch. sorry to hear that. Hope your career got better. Those were kind of dire times, weren't they?
Stories?
@@KairuHakubi It was a job, and right during the writer's strike happened and alot of productions shut down for a year, so I can't complain. You work on some good one's and some stinkers. Pays the mortgage at the end of the day.
Holy shit I forgot about this but this series crossed my mind about 2 weeks ago.
I remember seeing this once or twice but whenever I think about it I just feel like it was a fever dream
Man I could've gone the rest of my life without knowing this existed... 😕
Wow how did i not know this was a thing
We ain't found shit 🤣
Fun fact, that was Tim Russ who would later star in STV.
I can't forget what I had never heard of 😂. Thank you for the video!
You put LIFE STINKS up as one of his lesser comedies, to me it was one of his best, I didn't even know it existed until I seen it in my video rental store (yes I'm that old), and it turned out to be one of me and my mothers favourites.
HAH TOO! Hah too! Ziggity Bing Bam Boom!
Time to do a forgotten failure on the space sci-fi sitcom Quark !
The ORIGINAL Quark -- not that Big Eared, rotten toothed "Star Trek: Intergalactic Mall" denizen. RICHARD BENJAMIN rules.
This show was deep in the memory hole
This show is probably going to become like the Star Wars Christmas special
Looking at the animation, it reminded me of The Nutshack. The only reason Spaceballs is better is that the characters at least are drawn in proportion.
There's, yet, another reason that Spaceballs is better, though, default.
1:13 Yeah, right; I'm still waitin' for History of the World Part 2! As a kid, I genuinely thought it was a promo for the next movie
That ship sailed when Dom DeLuise died, it's, probably, for the best.
isnt it weird how we didn't pick up on the obvious fact, which Mel had to spell out later, that all the previews in that fake promo were one-note gags that wouldn't actually be funny as full segments. Somehow when we're kids it's like YES GOOD PREMISE GO MAKE MORE
@@KairuHakubi Probably, but, even The Naked Gun's sequels, also, failed, this, likely, would.
@@matthewdaley746 I liked those!
I think Mel's stuff has often suffered from people not always being on his humor wavelength. it always seems accessibly lowbrow, but if you turn your brain off you misinterpret things and don't get when he's not being serious, like about doing a sequel.
@@KairuHakubi I liked them, especially, the last one, but, they were nowhere near as good as the original film was, sorry.
I kept hearing this series was going to happen, I didn't know any episodes had actually been made.
Yeah, I remember seeing the announcement on the internet, but there was no info as to when and where it would air. As far as I know ... until now, it never came out.
This just came up on my suggestions on Hulu or wherever it’s streaming. Crazy how those things happen.
Love this channel cuz I didn’t know this existed until now
I was literally typing, “Geeze this show seems like Epic Movie with it’s pointless and forced movie references,” and then you said it! “Comedy bronze. A must miss!”

A literal murderer called Blake Leibel wrote some episodes. Yeah it's that bad.

I need to watch Spaceballs sometime soon, so this reminded me in all its hideous glory.
Thanks for that...
I remember hearing about this show, but I never had a chance to watch it, never saw it on DVD, and was interested in watching it. After what was on display of it here... I think I can live without seeing anymore.
