This was on the air when I think I was ten. I fucking loved it. As a kid, I had no video games, no particularly interesting toys, no friends, and I was never allowed to watch anything but what my parents turned on the television—which, incidentally, happened to be intensely imagination fueling things—so I played a lot of pretend games. Or rather, I directed a lot of pretend scenarios and forced my little brother and sister to play out the parts I invented for them. Sometimes we were victorious over the dastardly villains, like Captain Hook and Shredder. And sometimes we died horribly. It happens.

After we saw this show? Holy crap. We made a sliding device out of a lath out of my dad's truck and a push pin, wrote some buttons and dials on it with with a pen, and suddenly we could go wherever the fuck we wanted.

Now that I'm rewatching it now? It's still pretty awesome.

I don't know why I ever thought American television sucks.
