Having heard what a classic this series is meant to be, and having seen references/parodies in other series, I grabbed hold of Live-Evil's batch torrent and downloaded the lot.
So what can I say? Obviously, it's very much a thing of its time (1979-1980, I believe). Melodramatic, a bit campy, and OTT in parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I did find myself thinking things like "Aha, that must be a bad guy. He has a villainous moustache!" and imagining the Animation Director standing over the animators saying things like "Sparkles! MORE Sparkles! GIVE ME MORE SPARKLES, DAMN YOUR EYES!!!"
But I did watch seven episodes yesterday, and I'm hooked.
Well worth a look, if you ask me.
