great for very young kids--all others beware!

When I was five, this was one of my favorite cartoons--along with the followup series involving Dick Dastardly and the flying machines. I watched most every episode and carried memories of it being a good show into my adulthood. However, as I grew, I also came to realize that the quality of the Hanna-Barbera toons of the 60s-70s were absolutely abysmal. So I was left wondering just how good were the Dick Dastardly cartoons? I loved them as a kid but now realized they couldn't have been quite as good as I thought.

Well, a few years back, I had the chance to see some of them again on the Boomerang TV cable channel and was shocked to see just how terrible they really were. Not only were they very crudely animated, they simply weren't funny. But, considering I was only five, I guess I can be forgiven for having watched them. These wretched cartoons are only good for either very young kids who don't know any better or to be used in order to interrogate members of Al Qaeda--if they are shown this @#$&!! they are sure to beg for mercy and talk!

This review is practically identical to the one I posted for the Dick Dastardly and the Flying Machines show. Both starred a lot of the same characters as well as horrendous animation and writing. To me they are practically the same awful show! Don't watch this unless you are a masochist.
