I watched it back when I was like... 11, I think. XD But recently the themesong randomly popped into my head out of nowhere and I was like "Wait what song is that???" One quick google search of the lyrics later and I'm now rewatching the series online. I expected cheesiness and I was right--it's cheesy as can be. But it seems like it's held up remarkably well for a show I watched fourteen years ago. So how about it, anyone else around here remember this show?
“The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote. Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the street looking for a towel."
I can't believe you reminded me of this incredibly old show. I miss it so much! ;_; I used to watch it everyday when I came home from school. So ridiculous how long it's been. It's such a great show. I should definitely watch it again too. The theme song brings back memories!

Yeah, me too. I was totally hooked on it. It was the obsession that fell between my Power Rangers days and the move to anime. And I used to have the biggest crush on Merton growing up. XD
I'm about midway through season one now. Though part of me wants to skip to the end just to avoid Stacy. I don't really remember her much from my first watch through, even though I remember all the episodes. (I remember Lori. And I remember totally adoring Lori. <3) But Stacy's... well she grates on my nerves to be honest. XD; Especially in episode , Catwoman. And her line at the end of , That Swamp Thing You Do definitely didn't endear me to her.
Anyway, it's definitely a bit cheesier than I noticed as a kid, but it's not nearly the cringe-fest I expected it might be. 11 year old me did not have the best taste in television, but I think this one was a nice gem among all the duds. ^^

I think it's safe to say almost all girls had a crush on Merton. x)

"No, Merton, what happened in the movie."
Yes, yes I remember this show. It was what I watched along with Young Hercules. The guy who played Tommy has been in a few things since then, and I still recognize him (though the first time was a case of 'who is that guy and why do I know his face?')

xD Probably! I remember eleven year old me being very confused about his inability to get girls' attention. "But he's adorable!"
I don't know if I've seen him anywhere else or not. I'm really bad with faces. I tend to remember voices more easily. XD

oh god me too, I'm really REALLY bad at matching the face to the name, but I recognize faces, and it always bugs me that I don't know why I know somebody's face. Voices, though, I can match almost every time.
