back in second grade

i remember i did a presentation on this show back when i was in second grade and my teacher didn't beleive the titled. i myslef, have always loved this show! it was short lived, and yes crappy, but i cherished it as much as am 8-year old boy could! i had a boy crush on gordon, and thought laurie reminder me of my sister. apollo was the hottie, and drew, had a super model aunt, and she though very down-to-earth, was the cool one! i think this show provided an in depth look at roles that teenagers have on kids. they were all elitists, and swinten/apollo even said once "i can't be a super-hero, i don't even take gym!" i laughed, and still do eleven years later. this show had a sexy one be a guy instead of a chick. the traditional cheerleader laurie had adult problems and gordon, the sly one was cute to boot. their weapons were cheesy, shiny plastic peices that looked like batons and shot pretty animated special effects! it was out-dated for what others offered. and the stunt people didn't look like the actors. especially when the fought, which wasn't a mock set-up of angel grove like we're used to but to a forest dark/gothic desert-esqe place. total riots! the theme song still rings in my head. and i am very glad that i have a couple of episodes on tape. does anyone remember the episode when laurie became a monster because the monster threw-up on her and all she ate was rancid meat for a week because that's what monsters crave? too much fun! gordon was such a sissy, i love him! no one did anything after this show, and it'll probably air in the uk in a couple of years and make millions. i hope that this come to dvd soon! long live laurie, gordon, drew, and swinten! scorpio, taurus, centuar, and apollo! as they wore their shiny plasticy-metal latex short-shorts and muscle-tees! turquoise, black, magenta, and yellow never looked so good!
