X-Men

Trust me when I say I am not looking at this through nostalgia glasses, but it is impossible to sing enough praises about this show! It's odd, even watching it as a eleven-year old kid at the time, I knew it would have a life long after its run on Fox because it was so different from anything else; playing out more like a high-brow soap opera than your typical "Saturday morning cartoon" fodder. There was always something about it (if not several things) that just stuck with me after the credits rolled.

Even to this day, whenever I pop in my dvds, I want to see more. Like The Real Ghostbusters, BatmanTAS & later, Avatar the Last Airbender, its one of the elite few animated shows that you really felt a part of; not just a fly on the wall. Thank God for the incredible team of Margaret Loesch, Frank Squillance, Stephanie Graziano, Sidney Iwanter, Eric Lewald, Scott Thomas, Will Meugniot & the countless other writers, animators, the PHENOMENAL voice actors, etc. for creating an experience that is true to the essence of its source material & endures. It was because of this show that I got interested in comics! The forces behind this series is evidence that it pays to be a student of your craft & the stuff you're putting out there into the universe. They gave us [the audience] love & with the obvious HUGE success of the show, it reciprocated ten fold back to them. Nevermind the fact that we were kids, they didn't attempt to insult our intelligence as functioning HUMAN BEINGS & that is to be commended. Future incarnations could learn so much from studying this series.

Hands down, it still remains one of the greatest television shows EVER put on the small screen. IMO, they set the bar so high that almost anything that came afterward pales in comparison. Oh, my X-Men, how I miss you so. :*(

R.I.P Fox Kids.

It's up there with Batman: The Animated Series as one of the great superhero cartoons of all time! It's certainly one of the better Marvel ones.
