This show deserved to last longer!


It was awesome, it died too young!!!!

It wasn't the only show to die that season. CBS changed their whole Saturday morning children's lineup.

Not that I didn't like it, but I think it wouldn't have lasted long anyway.

It probably would've lasted two seasons as it was, and then get revamped in some either great (losing the morals) or horrible (losing the humor) way that would let it last about three more. But it probably wouldn't last much longer than that because of the tight schedule he already had with Poodle Hat and his marriage and all of that stuff.

Oh well, at least we still have Al TV!

There will come a day when I will portray a superhero...

After listening to the audio commentaries for the first four episodes, it's obvious why it didn't last longer.

Nah, I think it was very dumb. In some episodes Al was so stupid I'm thinking, "Can't he write better stuff?" I don't blame CBS for axing this.
