Hey guys! This episode of GBNF was made from suggestions from fans who emailed us demanding this show be covered on this series. If you want to make suggestions for future episodes of GBNF then e-mail GBNFSeries@gmail.com and maybe we’ll cover your show!
How could you talk about this show, and not discuss the Best Villain in TV history more. The Xanatos Gambit is a definitive trope on how to write a villain that isn't stupid and who can fail without becoming weak. There is even famous social engineering gambits & stratagems based off it... "The key to strategy... is not to choose a path to victory, but to choose so that all paths lead to a victory." - Cavilo, The Vor Game he was a significant part of what made the show, as good as it was, without him it would have been interesting, but no more than MASC or Jace and the wheeled warriors.
Really impressive. My Grandparents used to watch Lou Grant re- runs, so I also knew the show and it's amazing to learn both us, the children, and the grandparents used to watch and like technically the same people. By the way, I grew up in Spain, watching Spanish dubbed versions, so, we were never able to recognise any of the voices in other shows.

Crazy to think that Gargoyles, Batman TAS, and X-Men (which all fall in my top ten list of best cartoons ever made) aired at the same time. This was truly the golden age of animation.
"the fact this was a Disney show still boggles my mind" - This is so very accurate, thought this many times! Even the subtle stuff, like Fox having a baby - such a well put together production.
It's from a time when kids were less sheltered and pathetic. My cousin and I would watch this show and then jump off the roof of the house and beat the shit out of each other pretending we were gargoyles lol
It didn’t boggle my mind because I didn’t question it. I watched many scary series animated movies. Secret of nimh, a American tail, etc. I just didn’t connect Disney to being family friend as they had a scary killer whale called monstro, malifscent as a dragon, and frollo going to hell shown on screen.
Gargoyles is a great counter argument to the commonly idea that shows aimed at children don't need to be complex and well written. The same goes for Batman TAS and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
I was a huge fan of Gargoyles as a kid in the 90s but I somehow never knew the voice acting line up was so stacked with superstars. It's no wonder I loved the show
Greg Weisman was involved in some of the best animated shows I have ever seen: Gargoyles, Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice, Star Wars Rebels. Just some of the best writing and characters in a show.
I agree 100%, but at least it's available on Disney+, unlike so many gems like Aladdin: The Animated Series, The Weekenders, and Fillmore! Instead of betting on the classics, Disney+ just keeps churning disappointment after disappointment. 😖
Damn...im 33 now.i remember watching on cartoon network gargoyles,batman,swat cats,biker mike from mars and so on...how time flies.seems like a lifetime passed.
36 here. And the thing is, we've gotten next to nothing good since. ATLA and Legend of Korra, Arcane, and...that's basically it for the 21st century from Western sources. Some great anime in the early 2000s (Trigun, Outlaw Star, Bebop)...but stuff like BTAS, Swat Kats, Gargoyles? Yeahhhh, GL HF catching that lightning in a bottle again.
Gargoyles became part of my childhood and taught me so many life lessons throughout the entire series, the comics were awesome and the new continuation that just started has been incredible. The series taught the concept that not all heroes look or even ARE human looking, nor should have to be. Basically, they are the defenders of the night. They are Gargoyles!
*Gargoyles was an INCREDIBLE series. The voice acting has not been matched by any other production, the themes were mature and tragic. (The Gargoyles were essentially extinct). The Animation was top notch, and the incorporation of historical and theatrical characters from literature was super-well done. What killed the series (in my opinion) was, 1. the cannon, there was such a bevy of characters that the storylines began to become jumbled and contrived (too many details to remember/kids). 2. Transition from character and plot drama to emotional/relationship drama, when any show starts treating the gravity of a breakup as seriously as the drama of saving lives or the world, it can't be taken seriously. 3. Cliff Hangers:, you could get away with that in the 80's but by the 90's people were FED UP with that, and despised anyone who used that to promote future episodes (to this day). 4. TIME SLOTS. Not only did people have to basically memorize the lore to know what part of the series they were in, they had to filter out re-runs, AND, on top of that, when the show changed time slots, they had to track down WHICH slot was housing the show, and hope they didn't have to wade through MORE reruns, or that they didn't miss an episode (missing plot points). What killed this EXCELLENT and BELOVED show, was, like so many other franchises. "Business Decisions". MORE TOYS!! MORE SALES! RATINGS!! HIRINGS! FIRINGS!! I'm glad I got to witness the show as a kid, it helped me alot (themes of discrimination) and Goliath was a very noble character. I am currently watching it on streaming as we speak, and yes it holds up.*
I LOVED this show! And as a Star Trek fan I was so excited and instantly recognized every time a TNG cast member's voice was used. Too bad they didn't make a live action adaptation of this version of Gargoyles.
I lost my freaking mind when the gummy bear theme started playing!!! you know how much I loved that show!!!?? Man.. thank you for this... It makes perfect sense.
I liked this show growing up. Definitely had that Batman look but has some humor every now and then. It was cool hearing the Star Trek TNG cast in the show.
Speaking of which, STTNG is obscenely overrated, (yeah, I said it, and, I'm standing by it), despite, totally being, Alice Goes To Space, DS9 was truly the best one, and, that's, not, even getting into the fact that Patrick Stewart got knighted, while, Jeremy Irons didn't, a total travesty, terrible.
I was in high school when Gargoyles came out. My English Literature class was reading the works of Shakespeare. I loved how Gargoyles used Shakespeare plays like A Midsummer Night's Dream and MacBeth in their storylines.
OH MAN !!!!!!!!!!! I loooooooooooooved this so much and still continue to watch it! Long integrated stories is correct and so well detailed you come away learning a lot - PLUS If you are a Trekkie like me it was double the excitement as the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation voices what were lent to voice the characters
I miss this show so much. It was my all time favorite as a Teen. I went to a couple of the conventions and even met some of the voice actors. It was such an incredible experience.
Loved this as a kid and loved it as an adult. Someone give it a big time animated remake. As long as we still got Keith David and Jonathan Frakes were good
Never gave the show much thought when it aired. When I met my (now wife) in '98 she was a huge fan. Ended up getting the seasons on DVD and watching them all and loved the series as well. I get whatever merch I can for her still (have the whole Funko Pop collection and trying to locate the current NECA figures in Canada
So glad that I have the DVD's so I dont have to give Disney anything. I love this show so much, its one of my all time favorites. The third season was never put to dvd, probably for the best. Season one and two though are GOLD.
Ooh, the only good part of waking up at 6 in the morning on a school day for a 13 year old me was Gargoyles! It was dark and mature, that's why you had to wake up early for it!
It was evening time for me. At my grandma's with my brother and a couple of cousins, my Grandma kept an eye on. But I do have this one French show I woke up at 7am on weekends to watch because I had a crush on the main character. So, I've seen worse 😂
I 100% agree with you! The 90s was more than just a simple boom, it became an explosion of unique talents, creative ideas and story-driven narratives that still has his fans raving about long after! Gargoyles can definitely say it had a hold on us and I still love it to this day! Thank God for the NECA toys coming out to celebrate our love even further! Also, Gummi Bears ROCKED!!!
And I had just released a short discussing the Gargoyles comic and then @joblo does a full on series synposis in a matter of days hehe. Loved all of this. Journey through memory lane I often revisit.
I can't believe I forgot about this TV show. I used to love it when I was a kid. I have to say i am surprised to learn that this was a Disney show. This is news to me. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thank you for making this video, it was my favourite show when I was a kid and definitely helped me get hooked on mythology and Shakespeare and dark fantasy and so much more. I remember reading an article a few months back about a possible reboot of the show. If it does happen it really needs to be done right, there are just too many disappointing reboots and remakes that make we want to tear my eyes out in frustration. Anyway, thanks again and keep it up 😃
Great research. My favorite cartoon ever, tied with Saturday AM Sonic the Hedgehog. This was a great Sega Genesis game too. They really don't make 'em like they used to.
Loved this show! I was so disappointed when I bought Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and there was no part 2 and so overjoyed when they did release part two a couple years after I first discovered the DVDs! Excellent all the way around.
Gargoyles just FN rocked. The mythology, the story, the settings and of course the characters. I'd love to see a live action film series and I look to the Underworld franchise as that is close to the tone and setting to this series. Det Elisa and Demona are such great female characters really should be considered as pioneers in how they were presented back in the 90s
The Star Trek connection with Gargoyles was incredible. The only one that missed out in voicing Gargoyles is Patrick Stewart. Jonathan Frakes' design with the face reminded me of William Ryker from TNG when I watched it as a kid during the 90s.
@@RichO1701e Agreed. Nichelle Nichols voicing Diane Maza, Eliza's mom so good. Rocky Carroll from NCIS voicing Derek Maza, Kate Mulgrew voicing Lady Titania wife of Oberon, Brent Spiner voicing Puck with Jeff Bennett voicing his human counterpart Owen Bennett while Peter Scolari's character was the reference model that Puck used as the human disguise for Owen Bennett. Peter Scolari's character was the assistant to Halcyon Renard voiced by Robert Culp.
"What Happened to Gargoyles" hahaha this was great. Usually i use to see you asking what Happened with real peoples but this time with characters from animacion with wast kind of touching i lovling and i was very happy to see it.
The eighties was the era of fun, silly shows with the exception of Robotech, which clearly helped pave the way for the more serious series with story arcs we got in the nineties. Gargoyles and EXOSQUAD are my favorite cel-animated series of the nineties. I was fortunate to be able to attend one of the Gathering conventions when it came close to LA.
Gargoyles was epic and awesome and dark. I was born in the early 1990s, but I missed the show on Disney because I was watching Batman and Power Rangers mostly. I saw one episode and parts of other episodes as a kid, but never got hooked. That all changed when I was in GED school and found the series on DVD at the library and my brother and I fell in love with Gargoyles. Brooklyne was our favorite character of the series. I also loved Talon and Maggie. The series needs to be remade or there should be a series about Talon and his clan.
My friend and I watched it all during 2020 lockdown and whilst I remember enjoying it as a kid I absolutely loved it now. The characters and story have complexity whilst being easy to understand for younger audiences. The voicework for the most part is outstanding. I would love it to come back but they'd have to replace Hudson and have his character pass on as there is no recasting that would work I feel. My main concern other than more constrictive rules being imposed on the writing would be what animation they would use. I can't imagine it looking good in ay other style, especially not if they tried to force them to do it in 3D. Anyway, if they did do it they need to get a move on so we can have as many returning cast as possible.
Hell. YEAH!! But I still can't believe NOBODY mentions the awesome Arthurian-arc! We had an entire story centered around Camelot! And also worth mentioning; I remember the comics being pretty remarkable for their time too. There was even an issue that centered around a vampire, something that was quite taboo in the 90s. But Still; an awesome show, and a great video! =)
I been watching the Gummi Bears last week saw it on Disney+ and one my fav shows even had the DVD collection from 13 years ago. Gargoyles was one my fav also but last season idk
This show is so desperately needed in today's world. The fact that it wasn't afraid to tackle truly deep characters made it one of the greatest cartoons of my childhood and I honestly loved it for that. In later episodes, I was blown away by the fact that it actually brought literature and myth into its continuity. Culture is dying today. We have so many great books out there, but instead, all we seem to get is reboot, reboot, reboot of movies when we could instead get wonderful adaptations of myth and legend such as what Gargoyles gave us. That said, I just don't know if I trust Disney to actually do the series justice these days.
I don't think there was anybody out there that wouldn't at least admit that this show was good. Personally, I think it's one of the best things that ever came out of Disney.
Gargoyles had The best Saturday morning cartoon villain in Xanatos. Unlike most cartoon bad guys, he didn't shake his fist and curse the Gargoyles for thwarting his diabolical scheme each week, to the point of looking like an idiot (like Cobra Commander or Skeletor). He would smile and steeple his fingers in silent triumph, as Machiavelian plans within plans fell into place, and would even find opportunity when he _was_ defeated. That's the kind of bad guy you can root for.
Even though I didn't grow up with it, I can honestly say having watched it recently that Gargoyles might be one of the greatest animated shows of all time, next to Avatar. Some may say it rips off Batman TAS but I think it remains distinct due to it having a full serialized story. Much like Batman, Gargoyles got away with so much to the point where I sometimes questioned if it was actually a kids show. While not perfect, season 3 was a let down and some characters, particularly Talon in season 2, I think should have had far more screen time and development, I can honestly that Gargoyles, due to its dark atmosphere, serialized storytelling and great characters, is by far the best thing the Disney Channel ever produced.
You might enjoy it, but it's a total disservice to the previous seasons of the show. Season 2 is EPIC, but I think Season 1 will always be my favorite.
@@VALonTH-cam The multi episode opening to this show was probably my favourite start to a series when this aired. Plus Clancy Brown and Keith David together is a pairing that should happen far more often. I would cast these guys in anything.
I used to love Gargoyles. Back in the 90s in Spain, it was one of the best cartoons out. I like to joke that my love for the Finnish band Lordi comes from the leader Mr. Lord reminding me of this show. Good memories of lazy evening at my Grandma's or my aunt's

Hey bro, can you normalize the volume in future episodes?
You voice & the Gummy Bears theme should not be 10 decibles apart

Looks like you have a reply bot you need to ban.

Let's take a moment to appreciate that the voice acting lineup for Gargoyles was absolutely incredible.
100% agree, phenomenal.

What a good line..
Thank you for giving Gargoyles more love. Greg Weisman needs more respect as a creator.
Absolutely the truest words ever spoken! 💯
Seconded!
indeed
Crazy to think that Gargoyles, Batman TAS, and X-Men (which all fall in my top ten list of best cartoons ever made) aired at the same time. This was truly the golden age of animation.
💯
I totally agree. It’s crazy when you have dreams that seem random and then you see it in todays TH-cam videos
"the fact this was a Disney show still boggles my mind" - This is so very accurate, thought this many times! Even the subtle stuff, like Fox having a baby - such a well put together production.
It's from a time when kids were less sheltered and pathetic. My cousin and I would watch this show and then jump off the roof of the house and beat the shit out of each other pretending we were gargoyles lol
I thought the same about the movie National Treasure.
It didn’t boggle my mind because I didn’t question it. I watched many scary series animated movies. Secret of nimh, a American tail, etc.
I just didn’t connect Disney to being family friend as they had a scary killer whale called monstro, malifscent as a dragon, and frollo going to hell shown on screen.
Gargoyles was the reason why I got into history and and mythology around the world as a kid. Such a smart cartoon without talking down to kids
Me too. It started me on the road to an English degree.
Gargoyles is a great counter argument to the commonly idea that shows aimed at children don't need to be complex and well written.
The same goes for Batman TAS and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
When you make something for kids that adults can also enjoy, then you've achieved art.
The last Airbender for sure.. I feel like you can't even be apart of my family if you don't know about that show lol
@@kefkamadman Exactly!
I was a huge fan of Gargoyles as a kid in the 90s but I somehow never knew the voice acting line up was so stacked with superstars. It's no wonder I loved the show

It's also kind of boggling that Disney would never make a show like Gargoyles ever again.
Ironically, I was binge watching Gargoyles for the past week and still going.
Enjoy. 😉

Love Gargoyles! Glad I snagged it on DVD. Such a great series and as others noted one of the 90s classics.

Bring it home someone....
Good video,90s had great cartoons like Garyoles,Batman Tas,Xmen Tas,Spiderman Tas,Darkwing Duck,and other cartoons.
What was weird about Darkwing Duck was it was the, next-to-last, program on many stations, while, the comically awful Goof Troop was the last.

Thank you❤
I was looking for this comment lol
One of the all time classics 😎👍🏻🌟
I still get goosebumps hearing that theme.
So good.
Loved this as a kid and loved it as an adult. Someone give it a big time animated remake. As long as we still got Keith David and Jonathan Frakes were good
You don't want a remake trust me
@TheGlassesPro a continuation would be just as bad
Keith David OR BUST
I thought Deanna Troi was an amazing villain.
Don't forget Salli Richardson as Elisa.
This show and Batman were life back in the day. Could've watched 5 more seasons!

It's always a treat to see the latest GBNF from David Arroyo and Jesse Shade. And it's on a favorite show from my teenage years.

Gargoyles and EXOSQUAD are my favorite cel-animated series of the nineties. I was fortunate to be able to attend one of the Gathering conventions when it came close to LA.
I just busted out laughing with the Gummi Bears reveal!
The one episode I really remember, is that witch or whatever, being vulnerable to sugar?!
My sister was obsessed with this show, still is.
Gargoyles was epic and awesome and dark. I was born in the early 1990s, but I missed the show on Disney because I was watching Batman and Power Rangers mostly. I saw one episode and parts of other episodes as a kid, but never got hooked. That all changed when I was in GED school and found the series on DVD at the library and my brother and I fell in love with Gargoyles. Brooklyne was our favorite character of the series. I also loved Talon and Maggie. The series needs to be remade or there should be a series about Talon and his clan.
The gummy bears was the one song that got stuck in my head for years. I last heard it in 1993, and it's always been with me
I always felt this along with Swat Kats should have been way bigger. At least Gargoyles got a lot more seasons though than Swat Kats.
Swat Kats should have went to Ruby Spears Productions instead
I used to have every VHS, I have the entire first two seasons on DVD.
One of my chores as a kid was to record the episodes so my parents could watch the show when they got home from work
One of my favorite shows and still is
I'm surprised they never made a live action remake of the show.
Yes!!
Gargoyles!! 😁😁😁😁
Oh my god! With highway to heaven music in your video? Awesome!
My friend and I watched it all during 2020 lockdown and whilst I remember enjoying it as a kid I absolutely loved it now. The characters and story have complexity whilst being easy to understand for younger audiences. The voicework for the most part is outstanding. I would love it to come back but they'd have to replace Hudson and have his character pass on as there is no recasting that would work I feel. My main concern other than more constrictive rules being imposed on the writing would be what animation they would use. I can't imagine it looking good in ay other style, especially not if they tried to force them to do it in 3D. Anyway, if they did do it they need to get a move on so we can have as many returning cast as possible.
I loved the show. Super sad it ended and towards the end one could tell the quality took a dive. Just rewatched the whole series last year. Worth it.
This was ahead of it's time in terms of children's entertainment. Have lots of memories watching this.
i loved this as a kid and when they reran the series when i was at high school i would bunk off last period to get the bus home in time to catch it
Hell. YEAH!! But I still can't believe NOBODY mentions the awesome Arthurian-arc! We had an entire story centered around Camelot! And also worth mentioning; I remember the comics being pretty remarkable for their time too. There was even an issue that centered around a vampire, something that was quite taboo in the 90s. But Still; an awesome show, and a great video! =)
I been watching the Gummi Bears last week saw it on Disney+ and one my fav shows even had the DVD collection from 13 years ago. Gargoyles was one my fav also but last season idk
Hands down the best thing on television growing up.
I love -- LOVE -- Gargoyles, but Batman: The Animated Series will always have a very special place in my heart. 🤩
This show is so desperately needed in today's world. The fact that it wasn't afraid to tackle truly deep characters made it one of the greatest cartoons of my childhood and I honestly loved it for that. In later episodes, I was blown away by the fact that it actually brought literature and myth into its continuity.
Culture is dying today. We have so many great books out there, but instead, all we seem to get is reboot, reboot, reboot of movies when we could instead get wonderful adaptations of myth and legend such as what Gargoyles gave us. That said, I just don't know if I trust Disney to actually do the series justice these days.
💯
I don't think there was anybody out there that wouldn't at least admit that this show was good. Personally, I think it's one of the best things that ever came out of Disney.
Would love a live action adaptation of this cartoon. It'd be amazing.
I miss shows like this. I love the 90s.
Modern TV sucks!
The Intro alone is awesome!
Gargoyles had The best Saturday morning cartoon villain in Xanatos. Unlike most cartoon bad guys, he didn't shake his fist and curse the Gargoyles for thwarting his diabolical scheme each week, to the point of looking like an idiot (like Cobra Commander or Skeletor). He would smile and steeple his fingers in silent triumph, as Machiavelian plans within plans fell into place, and would even find opportunity when he _was_ defeated. That's the kind of bad guy you can root for.
As a gargoyles fan I loved your video!👍👍
One of my favorite shows growing up.
Gargoyles was more of a mystery suspense cartoon in the vain of Batman: The Animated Series, rather than an action cartoon
Gargoyles was the best show Disney has ever made.
From characters to stories to art, actors and opening theme music. This show fired on all cylinders!
Even though I didn't grow up with it, I can honestly say having watched it recently that Gargoyles might be one of the greatest animated shows of all time, next to Avatar. Some may say it rips off Batman TAS but I think it remains distinct due to it having a full serialized story. Much like Batman, Gargoyles got away with so much to the point where I sometimes questioned if it was actually a kids show. While not perfect, season 3 was a let down and some characters, particularly Talon in season 2, I think should have had far more screen time and development, I can honestly that Gargoyles, due to its dark atmosphere, serialized storytelling and great characters, is by far the best thing the Disney Channel ever produced.
Too bad it came out at a time where you still only saw, The, Disney Channel, for, those precious few, fortunate, four-day periods, annually.
the other thing that linked batman and gargoyles was the technique of painting night backgrounds onto black to create a mooood
If there’s any time in history you don’t want the current corporate owners of this series to revive it, it’s right now.
This plus Exo squad and Galaxy Rangers are my jam. They were my childhood, and all 3 still are great. Best episode, deadly force was a great one
This was great! I loved the Gargoyles!
Awesome series, I am currently watching every episode. Just started on season 3.
You might enjoy it, but it's a total disservice to the previous seasons of the show. Season 2 is EPIC, but I think Season 1 will always be my favorite.
"Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into hell." How a kid's cartoon wrote a line that magnificent is a testament to how great this show is.
Xanatos says it on S1E2. 😄 Love it.
@@VALonTH-cam The multi episode opening to this show was probably my favourite start to a series when this aired.
Plus Clancy Brown and Keith David together is a pairing that should happen far more often. I would cast these guys in anything.
@@CaptWesStarwind Absolutely. 🤩 It was the 5-part premiere that got me hooked on the show in the first place. Gorgeous to watch from start to finish.
I used to love Gargoyles. Back in the 90s in Spain, it was one of the best cartoons out. I like to joke that my love for the Finnish band Lordi comes from the leader Mr. Lord reminding me of this show.
Good memories of lazy evening at my Grandma's or my aunt's
Just for fun, imagine a live action Gargoyles movie made by Guillermo del Toro.
Would I sound too horny if I put up Henry Cavill as Goliath?
I can see him casting Ron Perlman again
@@Nikki-tx6khmight as well just use Keith David
This brought back fond memories. I might give it a rewatch.
Tail spin and gargoyles ❤
This is still one of my favorite animated series. And it 100% started my love for Shakespeare's work.
I just learned that Elisa Maza is actually biracial. She's half African American, half Native American.
HalfAfrican half American
And now the GB theme is in my head. Not a bad problem to have.
