And I really wish I hadn't. This show is lame beyond words.

Yeah I just finished all 4 episodes on G4.
The animation is what makes this bad,the stories are unfunny too,but some jokes work and the only good factor really is the original actors like Mel Brooks,Zuniga and even Joan Rivers,who brought back some good feelings.
Ill watch every episode once,but I doubt Ill revist it ever again.

Yeah, I mean, a few jokes hit, but VERY few. It was nice that Brooks was in it and Zuniga, even though she doesn't sound like she did in the movie. As for Joan Rivers, she's always annoyed the crap out of me. I'd have rather heard someone impersonate her.

That was a rough US debut.

I hated every part of the show, I'll stick to the movie for now. I mean the show just seems like its half-assing it in terms of everything.

[–] Ford_Maverick 16 years ago

Yeah, I think that's what pissed me off is it was such a good idea, but they just blew it.

if they'd have stuck to parodying Star Wars instead of virtually EVERYTHING else it could have been great. Instead they tried to be a half-assed Futurama and ruined it.

What is this crap?

Seriously that is what it is, crap?

This is crap.

Ugh way to ruin a great movie Mel Brooks.

I GOT IT!

Mel Brooks butchered this series on purpose so he would ruin the Spaceballs legacy as Lucas did to Star Wars with the prequels, thus making the entire series one big joke on the tragedy that was the additional Star Wars films! What a genius Brooks' is!

Interesting look on your blog, btw.

Well there ARE things I like on here. :D

And thanks, I did all the art and coding on my blog. Lil' Zombie and Something Here is Terribly Wrong I wrote and drew If you'd like a look inside what I think is funny...

I also write Black Cats: Paranormal exterminators, but I don't draw it.

I wasn't impressed with it much either. Especially the first one I saw about the E-Cola. Yes, it's so awesome to rely on cartoon barf every two seconds.

[–] Ford_Maverick 14 years ago

I know, right?

My big thing was it just didn't have the same magic as the movie. I think that's mainly because the stuff they were spoofing wasn't in any way relatable to the Movie.
