Amazon.com:
Conceived by the same team that created Tiny Toons and Animaniacs and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the animated series Freakazoid! was ostensibly about a mild-mannered teen who transformed courtesy a computer virus into a raving lunatic who battled a bizarre gallery of criminals. But as anyone who watched Freakazoid! during its brief network run in the mid-'90s will tell you, that's not what the series was about; in fact, Freakazoid! really wasn't about anything at all. The adventures of Freakazoid were just one element in a rapid-fire barrage of pop culture references, visual and verbal non sequiters (plugs for non-existent toys, stock footage of Bavarian folk dances), and parodies of then-current movies and television series, including other Spielberg-produced cartoons. First-time visitors to Mondo Freakazoid! via this two-disc set will be treated to the sight of the title hero imitating the Emergency Broadcast System signal (before passing out), lessons on how to say obnoxious statements in French, and whole segments devoted to peripheral characters like The Huntsman, who is constantly thwarted in his crime-fighting pursuits, and the Jonny Quest spoof Toby Danger. Suffice it to say that few cartoons are as polarizing as Freakazoid!; viewers will either eat it up or find the whole thing bewildering, as many kid TV viewers during its brief network run. Those ready to take the trip with Freakazoid and pals will find all 13 episodes of its debut season in this set (in what can only be seen as a Freakazoid-like movie, the episodes "Candle Jack" and "The Cloud" are included twice). Three of the episodes feature commentary by producer Tom Ruegger, story editor John McCann and writer Paul Rugg, who also provided Freakazoid's voice. All three are also showcased in an amusing making-of featurette; even funnier is a collection of the show's promotional spots, which mercilessly lampoon a series of artsy cruise ship commercials while providing no actual information about the show itself. --Paul Gaita

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Freakazoid Season 1 dvd's
Fast shipping and good packaging, my only problem is there's some mysterious sticky substance on the case that won't come off, but the discs are fine. Thanks!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - HUGGBIES!
If you know what that title is all about, I don't need to convince you to buy this set. Heck, you probably have your own review on here about it. This is right up there with Animaniacs in the best things Stephen Spielberg and Warner Bros. have ever produced. If you haven't seen it, you need to see this, because if you missed this, you missed what it meant to be alive in the 90s. This is cartoons at its best.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It delivers what was expected.
I was thoroughly impressed by it, you know, with the whole "childhood being relived" thing and all. The clever and constant cultural references are always a subtle delight (although some are obscure; I was proud of myself for catching the Ed Wood/Bela Lugosi reference in the first episode), the animation is decent and appreciable on for something that reached its peak in popularity in the 90's, and it's family friendly. Show it to your friends, show it to your family, kids and all--it's difficult ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Still entertaining
Came fast and still wrapped in plastic. DVDs work fine, and the box looks good.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Lazy, noisy, unfunny show
Along with similar clap trap, animaniacs and tiny toons, this show was a loud, noisy show that never quite worked. The writing is very disjointed, the designs not particularly appealing, and the animation abominable. The sound tracks are a non stop cacophony of lame voices and synth music. An insult to kids and adults intelligence.
