This show could have gone on for years. It was a ratings success but the people running things ruined that because they wanted to fire the writers and replace them with professionals. Ralph Bakshi's son was one of those writers and he wasn't going to fire his own flesh and blood leading to the cancellation. Thanks for nothing HBO.
did anybody else hear the flying things from Starfox Adventures at 5:17? turn it up to hear it. I know this show's way older than that game, so it had another source. what could it be and why is it there? subliminal message?
Back in the day, I saw this one episode during a free HBO preview, and although I had long since forgotten the name of the show, I was so taken by the concept that it stuck with me for years. This aired in 1997 back when the internet took 10 minutes to download a picture. It is astounding to see how this episode anticipates the immersive environment of social netwoking via virtual identities. Thanks for posting this little cultural artifact.
I agree. My favorite episodes are this one (because of the touching ending), the one about the crooked female cop named Margo, and the first episode with the detectives kidnapping hookers and turning them into hologram strippers.
That seems unnesscaryas you can buy those this though this is rare and you can't get these anywhere. I agree though too bad it didn't last longer but that happens sometimes good shows just aren't apreicted until they're gone
God, I was really little when I saw this...brings back memories.

@cometandcupids The show was too ahead of it's time. I just wish Adult Swim was smart enough to pick it up.
