This was pretty ahead of its time

I'm pretty sure that if this show was still on it would have a pretty big following. I think the problem is that it came out before cartoon network was drawing the crowd they have with adult swim. Theres also the fact that almost all of the shows cartoon network was making and playing on toonami and everywhere else were awesome and this one didn't seem as great by comparison.

compare it to the *beep* they play on cartoon network now and it would be second only to venture brothers or Metalocalypse. Even shows like Time Squad seemed mediocre back then, but were actually pretty good. It was just hard to see it with shows like Samurai Jack and Dexter's laboratory being the norm at the time.

heh, Almost all the shows you mention are ones I liked. Though... never really watched Time Squad.

I'd say the show was ahead it's time more so. It felt like a 90s show. More accurately a early 2000s show emulating 90s style. Like mtv style cartoons. If the humer was a bit more adult (not mature) this show would've got nicely with beavis and butthead.

I used to watch this at 3am at work and LOVED it!
