Gamertell Review: Freakazoid! Season 1 on DVD

Title: Freakazoid! Season One DVD (aka Steven Spielberg Presents Freakazoid! Season One DVD)Price: $22.95Release Date: July 29, 2008Publisher: Warner Bros. (Amblin Entertainment)Pros: Wacky super-hero humor that stands up well to the internet generation. Great art, plenty of fun references, lots of classic homages and good transfer quality.Cons: Not a lot of extras and still mis-marketed toward kids. A few very short segments have gritty transfers.Overall Score: Two thumbs up; 90/100; A-; * * * * out of five.

Screw spiders, crazy experiments and crash landings. It’s the power of the internet, man.

Relatively early in the mass-appear years of the world wide web, a group of animators had the foresight to create a super hero endowed the with intelligence, mysterious powers and grand sarcasm of the internet.

Due to poor scheduling and being mistakenly marketed towards kids, Freakazoid!‘s quick wit and outrageous (and often incongruous) humor only lasted two seasons. Fortunately for us fans, the first season of the series has finally been released on DVD (two discs, one box) so you can enjoy it over and over and over and again and over again until, of course, you completely freak out. In a good way…
