For what it set out to be -- a fun adventure show for kids -- I guess it was okay. I could've done without all the anime'isms and any post-BTAS will always suffer in comparison. It was just okay. Which sucks.

Show posts MenuQuoteA lot of people today claim that the show isn't all that special in retrospect but I very much disagree.I find it's mostly young people who didn't have GI Joe and the Superfriends in the early early childhoods who say that. By modern standards, sure, there's probably not much to write home about concerning TAS (beyond some extremely well written episodes, that is). In 1992 though, that animation style and that level of sophistication was absolutely foreign to children's programming. Even now, BTAS has the novelty of being totally watchable by both children and adults. I can't think of any too many animated shows you can say that about.
QuoteYou don't see episodes like "Heart of Ice" everyday in most american adventure/superhero cartoons.Right on.

Having read about the background of the family due to this incident, one can argue that it's a case of estranged and disgruntled/embittered family members trying to blacken the reputation of their relative at the moment of his greatest success, days after the premiere of his biggest movie yet.
