Well...I loved this, at least as a child. I honestly haven't found a copy of this to watch as an adult...so I can't tell you if it stands the test of time like G.I. Joe does...or if it fails to hold the love like Brave Starr did. But, I do remember thinking that this was MTV for kids. Or at least it was what the cool kids watched. It was part New Wave and part children's adventure cartoon. So, it sort of gets the love from two ways. And even my father described it as "The Runaways meets Kiss." which was a little before my time as a child...but everyone loves The Runaways so he couldn't have meant it in a bad way.
