Mission Hill (1999)

It's time to once again talk about one of the more well known cases of a one season wonder. And it's hard not to find a show more screwed over and tossed around like good old Mission Hill. Hitting in the midst of the second coming of sorts of late 90's prime time animation. The Simpsons was still a pop culture success while Fox was building upon it with shows like Futurama, King of the Hill, and another show that knows about one being jerked around, Family Guy. South Park's overnight success lit a fire in networks wanting more mature raunchiness for their programming. Other channels like NBC tried to pump animated products, but never struck gold with anything. So in this wild west of an era, along comes Mission Hill.

Mission Hill was the creation of Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein. Prior to this series, Oakley and Weinstein found success and name recognition as writers and eventual show runners for The Simpsons, starting in season 4 and eventually leaving in season 8. After their exit, they began work on Mission Hill in 1997, selling it to the WB as  more adult Simpsons that focused on more mature issues. I guess more like a raunchy enough, but not Duckman raunchy-level show. It was originally named The Downtowners, but an MTV cartoon named Downtown made it sound too similar. Note to self, possible future review.

WB liked the show and picked it up for a fall 1999 release,  and that's where it all went to hell. Two episodes would air before low ratings would force the show into a hiatus. The show was given a second chance in the summer of 2000, but after five episodes aired, it was ultimately cancelled. But unlike Clerks, the show was given another chance on television through Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup, and the 13 completed episodes all saw air. Much like other shows that aired on Adult Swim, Mission Hill gained a cult following, and has become a well remembered and beloved staple of early 2000s animation. But unfortunately nothing else ever really came out of it. There were a few other episodes in the pipeline, some making it to animatic stage, but still nothing else. So, did this show deserve its fate, or should it have gotten a fairer shake? Let's dive into Mission Hill to see for ourselves.

SERIES OVERVIEW

Mission Hill is set in the town of, you guessed it, Mission Hill, and stars Andy French. Andy is your typical slacker in his mid-twenties with dreams of becoming a cartoonist. His life gets turned upside down however, when he's forced to live with his nerdy younger brother Kevin, after his parents leave for Wyoming. Along with Andy's loft-mates Posey, an aloof flower girl, and Jim, who is essentially just Brian Posehn playing himself, they have many wacky adventures along with the many other crazy characters within Mission Hill. What kind of wacky adventures? Well, let's start running through the episodes to see for ourselves.

Episode 1: Pilot (Or The Douchebag Aspect): With his parents moving to Wyoming, Andy goes to pick up his mostly brain-dead dog Stogie, only to learn that he's also going to have to take care of his genius younger brother Kevin. This revelation doesn't sit with with Andy, obviously, but he has no choice. Doesn't help matters that Andy and Kevin easily cramp each other's styles, for lack of a nicer term. The remainder of the pilot focuses more on Kevin, who becomes the fish out of water with his new experiences in the city, and being too worried about breaking any rules. Eventually Kevin realizes that with his parents not around, he can finally loosen up without constant fear of ruining his life, so he ends up acting like a slacker, much like Andy.

This culminates to Kevin at his lowest when Andy throws a party at his loft and Kevin gets drunk for the first time. We do get a good moment with Andy, who gives up the chance at sex with his girlfriend Gwen to help Kevin out when he's gone too far. Kevin realizes that it's too hard being like Andy and just decides to be himself. And we end with their parents getting an answering machine call from drunken Kevin.

For a Pilot, it's fine. Lots of great gags, and enough time given to set up the concepts and conflicts within the world of the series. Andy and Kevin are great polar opposite characters and their interactions are entertaining. We don't get too much time with the rest of the cast (though we do get some time with Jim, and we get the concept of his character pretty quickly), but we get the general gist of everyone's quirks. The plot does feel like it rushes through, but again, that's the folly of all pilots. In the end, it's a fun way to start the series.

Episode 2: Andy Joins the PTA (Or Great Sexpectations): Being Kevin's new legal guardian, Andy is forced to go to his parent/teacher conference. But when he falls for Kevin's English teacher Ms. Peck, he inadvertently ends up joining the PTA. While this is going down, Posey's overabundance of vegetables leads her to start selling them, and Kevin and his friends George and Toby partake in an online RPG named Virtual Valkyrie. When Toby completely fails him, Kevin sells him for slavery, to which Toby promises revenge. Meanwhile, Andy actually seems to hit it off with Ms. Peck, particularly in planning the school dance. Due to Toby's threats however, Kevin declines going to the dance, putting the possible screws to Andy's plan. Despite that, Andy still forces Kevin to go to the dance, which all falls apart for Andy's attempts to woo Ms. Peck when the kids end up drunk from spike punch, and his attempts to get Kevin a date end up accusing him of being a creep. Also, Kevin tries to race Toby back to their computers, but in the end, Toby gets his revenge.

Overall, this was an enjoyable episode. Definitely had more breathing room than the pilot episode and the jokes and humor were excellent and on point. Particularly the stuff involving Kevin and Toby, which gave me the biggest laughs. Andy's story was fun, and you can tell that he actually did try to be responsible for once, even if its intentions were entirely just to bone Ms. Peck. Also, Posey's whole storyline feels like it got the least amount of development, but there were a few good gags in it. A strong second episode.

Episode 3: Kevin's Problem (Or Porno For Pyro): Bling-Blong! Blingity Blingity Blong Blong! While watching the Mission Hill Market, Kevin finds himself enamored with a porno magazine. After being caught masturbating by bullies Griffo and C-Dog, and in fear of being caught, Kevin tries to burn the evidence, only to end up burning down the market instead. He ends up having Griffo and C-Dog take the rap while he tries to keep innocent, especially with Andy being more kind to him after his brush with death. He eventually confesses to Andy, which both bothers him that Kevin would let two (Mostly) innocent kids get 25 to life, and offended that Kevin's doesn't want to be outed as a smut enjoying slob like him.  Meanwhile, Jim returns from Japan and begins to wear Karai Pantsu (or Spicy Pants) in hopes that it will make him popular, much to Andy's chagrin. After everyone else starts wearing them, he eventually conforms to doing so. This all culminates when Kevin, despite wanting to tell the truth, is told to lie to ensure Griffo and C-Dog end up in jail. He confesses and gets mocked for his pleasuring, but Andy comes to his defense.

This episode was fun. The plot flowed well, and everything moved at a quality pace. I liked Kevin's crisis as, while it's as over the top as it can get, it still is believable. From his moment of weakness to trying to hide the truth, to realizing his guilt would drive him insane to being told to commit perjury, to ultimately just doing it when his sexual fantasy would up morphing into his mother's face. It's all hilarious. It was also a good use of the side characters Gus and Wally who are one of my favorite gay couples on televsion as they don't feel super stereotypical and are hilarious. As for the b-plot of sorts, it was good and didn't feel like it took too much away from the main plot, and converged for a fun ending about how Karai Pantsu became uncool when everyone got in on the trend, making Andy look like a fool. Such is the case of fads.

Episode 4: Andy Vs. The Real World (Or The Big-Ass Viacom Lawsuit): Kevin discovers some old tapes belonging to Andy. Jim reveals to him that they pertain to an incident a year prior when MTV filmed The Real World in Mission Hill. With the cast annoying everybody, Andy tries to find a way to drive them out, only to accidentally cause one of the stars to get hit by a bus and for him to come a cast member. And, as expected, Andy becomes a massive jackass with the fame going to his head which causes him to alienate himself from his friends. Andy tries to quit, but due to his contract is ultimately trapped there. Ultimately his friends help him escape, and we end the episode with Kevin and pretty much the rest of Mission Hill having fun at Andy's expense while Andy strews. Great ending to a great episode.

This episode is brilliant for many reasons, despite being a perfectly on point parody of The Real World, it also feels like it predicted the mindlessness of reality television, which would infect itself more throughout the 2000s. Not to mention the supposed "star making potential" of reality television (made perfect with a well placed Puck joke). It also takes many amazing digs at Viacom and MTV, almost to a cathartic level. From the sleazy corporate mentality to the fake realism represented throughout The supposed "Real" World. And considering MTV's continual degradation throughout the past two decades, this feels just as poignant now as it was when this first aired.

Episode 5: Andy And Kevin Make A Friend (Or One Bang For Two Brothers): After a night of drinking and loneliness (well, despite talking with The Republican Vampire), Andy comes home and after some inebriated bonding, tells Kevin that he loves him, which makes Kevin happy since he thought that Andy's hated him since he moved in. The two go to a movie together, where they both meet George's sister Tina. Both brothers end up attracted to her. Andy for her looks (obviously) and Kevin for her smarts (Again, obviously). Everything goes well with the three until Kevin sees Tina leaving Andy's bedroom and assumes the worst.

Despite that, they all go to Galacticon, a take on comic-con (though it holds no candle to the bi-mon-sci-fi-con) and Kevin continues to blame Andy for ruining everything, with the two brawling with each other and culminating in an entertaining Star Wars duel. Tina leaves, being disappointed in the two of them (or, one of them. It's loosely defined). Meanwhile, Gus comes home with a knife stuck in his head, and despite Wally's concerns, he won't go to the hospital or remove it. Ultimately Wally has enough of it and fuses a bunch of other things to Gus' head. The fear of being a public spectacle finally forces Gus to get the knife removed.

Fun episode, if not a bit sloppy in places, but for an episode with a lot of intentional misdirects, that sloppiness still works. I like that we get more sibling rivalry stuff with Andy and Kevin, as even though we've seen them bond more and somewhat care for each other over the past few episodes, it's good to see them have a full blown brawl. I also really enjoyed the B-plot with Gus and Wally. I just like how gruff and bad ass Gus is with his insistence in not removing the knife in his head. Led to some hilarious moments and a good ending with some perhaps a bit too obvious parallels to being a public spectacle for being yourself. Overall, a decent episode as we near the middle of the series.

Episode 6: Andy Gets A Promotion (Or How To Get Ahead In Business Without Really Trying): After his cartoons are constantly rejected by publications, Andy begins to fall into a mental funk. This coincidentally comes at the time that Andy's boss Ron, a sleazy Armenian stereotype, wants Andy as his partner, mainly because Andy's lowbrow slacker mentality and propensity in sleeping around reminds him of himself. Ultimately Andy becomes Ron's partner, which comes with all the quirks, including sleeping with his stripper fiance. Kevin, worried about how easily Andy gave up on his dreams, still tries to get Andy's work submitted, ultimately getting him a job at the Weekly Freebie. But Andy's so convinced that he wasn't made to be a cartoonist that he instead decides to buy a strip club with Ron. But before he can sign the contract, Andy sees his work being appreciated, and ultimately gives up on being Ron's partner. Also, a B-plot of sorts where Stogie (and eventually Jim) start eating the sofa.

I like this episode's message in particular. It feels a bit more realistic in how you can be devoted in your dream and still fail, and how crushing that can be in your confidence. And how you shouldn't give up on that dream if you know you're good at it. Granted, it goes a bit happy ending with Andy succeeding by the end, but it's a better alternative in the end. The episode is fun, though I don't find it the funniest episode. It kind of feels a bit crushing, particularly in how down Andy gets throughout and how he almost ends up as bad as Ron, a character who has zero redeeming qualities about him. The whole B-plot with Stogie and the couch was okay, but other than that, the episode could have been more Kafkaesque. Nah, on second thought, this was still a great episode.

Episode 7: Kevin Vs. The S.A.T (Or Nocturnal Admissions): We're officially at the halfway mark of Mission Hill. Fearing being unable to go to an ivy league college (or worse, going to Borchmore like Andy did), Kevin, George and Toby try to find a way to improve their chances. When extracurricular activities fails, the three try to find a way to crack the S.A.T code to ensure them a perfect 1600 score. When Kevin gets a hold of a bunch of stolen S.A.T tests thanks to a jock, they hope to process all of them through a computer to find the perfect score. However, when George and Toby learn of Kevin's theft, they leave him high and dry to crack the code himself. That is until he learns of a Mr. Pensyl who went mad trying to crack the code (for about 26 years) and the pair try cracking the code together.

Kevin manages to crack the code, but upon learning that the jock is bent on bringing his teammates to Yale with him, Kevin destroys the code, and gets his ass kicked. First by the jocks, then by George and Toby for destroying their computers. Meanwhile, Posey starts up a massage business, only for it to accidentally be mistaken for a sex operation. Despite her not wanting any part of this, she still runs afoul of a pimp who wants his cut. After Andy mocks him, the pimp tries to throw him off the roof, only to injure his back. Posey fixes the pimps back, then kicks him off the roof into a dumpster.

Another quality episode. I liked the main plot and seeing how low Kevin was willing to sink to crack the perfect score code instead of, you know, just studying and doing his best. It does lead to a really good montage where he continues to fall further into madness and winds up destroying the computers. I do kind of wish Kevin's realization would have come through seeing how the code hunt affected Mr. Pensyl, but the outcome we get still works brilliantly. As for the B-Plot, I could see the concept being a bit more troublesome in modern times, but I do like that Posey never forces herself or is forced to do so and in the end gets a moment of awesome in kicking the pimp off the roof. Posey feels more in the background for most episodes, but when she gets great moments, they're really great. Overall, a solid halfway point ep.

Episodes 8 & 9: Unemployment  Parts 1 & 2 (Or Brother's Big Boner/Theory of the Leisure Ass): Got a two parter to cover next, so we'll review them as a package instead of separately. Andy foolishly buys an organ, which leaves him and Kevin broke for the month. This is made worse when Ron's Waterbed World is seized by the IRS, Ron is in jail for five years for tax avoison, and Andy is now out of a job. He also can't get benefits without getting Ron to sign some papers, and Andy's not willing to lower himself to doing so. What follows is a montage of Andy constantly failing at differing forms of employment. Kevin ultimately gets Ron to sign the paper on the grounds that he takes care of his Ferraro. However, in taking care of the car, Kevin ends up using up all of Andy's check. However, it all ends up for naught when Kevin and Andy accidentally destroy Ron's car. They tell him the truth, leaving him in a fit of rage.

Part two continues where we left off with Andy still without a job and living happily on welfare. In fact he starts to become a bit too well adjusted to the life of slobbery that he turns everyone else off. It all goes fine until he loses a tooth. Jim offers him the ability to fix it with his insurance, to which Andy actually learns that Jim works at an advertising agency, rather successfully. He offers to help get Andy a job in the art department. At first he declines, believing the rest of his generation to be slackers. But when he discovers otherwise, he's quick to take the job. However, he ultimately doesn't get the job. At least until Jim, who pretty much has complete stroke in the company still manages to get the job for Andy. So Andy gets to move on up in life, gets his tooth back, and everything seems to be happily ever after.

I like this two parter of sorts. It serves as a decent arc for Andy, even if for the majority he kinda just gave up, and even when he tried, he still failed, and needed Jim to bail him out, but he still learned something. I also like that we get more character focus on Jim. How he's as much of a laid back slacker as Andy, but has his head in the right direction and uses that to better himself financially. I will say this didn't really need two parts, and you could have cut the entire Ferraro bit without losing much, abridging the two plots to one, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. It's a quality shot on slackerdom and the evolution of generation Y pre the dot com bubble burst.

Episode 10: Kevin Finds Love (Or Hot For Weirdie): Eunice Eulmeyer (or Weirdie) is considered (mainly by Kevin and his friends) as the weirdest girl in school. However, when he discovers that her dad is a famous scientist, he tries to feign romantic interest in Weirdie to hopefully earn himself a shot into Yale. The two hit it off, with Eunice finding some interest in Kevin and Kevin finding complete interest in her father. Kevin gets a recommendation from Dr. Eulmeyer, only for the old man to die before giving him the letter. Kevin eventually fesses up to Eunice, to which she responds that she never cared for him either, but it was just to make her dad happy. She still offers to get Kevin the recommendation letter, which is now locked in an army base.

Eventually Kevin actually does get feelings for Eunice during their letter rescue escapade. Meanwhile, a new club opens in Mission Hill, but is selective in who they let in. After being rejected, Andy and his friends start their own club, The Meter Room (literally inside a meter room), and soon everyone in town wants in. When they tire of their charade, they make a crude smoke bomb and blow up the place, with the rest of the town unaware of the truth of the Meter Room. The episode ends with Kevin still smitten by Eunice, but the romance is still unrequited. Kevin throws the letter into the ocean, only to realize that he actually really needs it, and goes to get it back.

This is another good episode. It gives us a fun character in Eunice, but mainly is a good character study in Kevin. Throughout the series we've slowly seen the darker side of Kevin. How this kid who is a total genius and believes in following the rules for fear of repercussions is also emotionally manipulative, often when it comes to his own wants. By the end he does becomes smitten with Eunice, and while some of it is through his experience with her at the army base, it still ultimately feels like immature romance, something he doesn't deserve after his actions. Whether this mentality was always present or osmosis from living with Andy is up for debate, but it does add a darker layer to the kid for certain. The B-Plot is fun, nothing really amazing, and gets the right amount of time, while taking little away from the core story.

Episode 11: Stories Of Hope And Forgiveness (Or Day Of The Jackass): This one is more of a combination of multiple plots as apposed to a couple. For example, Posey, through meditation, goes on a path of enlightenment, Toby tries to walk to school for once, but he ends up being chased after by a rabid dog. Andy gets invited to the Grammy Awards by an actress named Becca Michelle Butterfield (after she accidentally spills coffee on his crotch). All while there's some sort of nondescript world crisis going on. Kevin goes to get Andy's tuxedo for his date, but winds up joining a protest against the crisis. Andy goes to get his Tux, but ends up handcuffed to an iron fence with Kevin. The two manage to escape, and Andy manages to get Kevin free, but he's still stuck to the piece of fence. That's when Toby and the dog shows up and Andy's now on the run.

Kevin ends up Becca's date at the Grammys instead, where his mom's old saying about "making a fruit up" inspires Becca to say it, effectively ending the crisis. While Kevin has the best night of his life, Andy heads home saddened and with both a large metal fence on his arm and a bad haircut. He also screws over Posey's chance at enlightenment (which involves Ronald McDonald apparently). In the end, Kevin gives Andy a gift from Becca (a grammy for Quincy Jones), and it seems his still has a chance with her after all, so despite the mess, it's still a happy ending.

I think this episode is a bit cluttered, with the plot being a little too everywhere, but I gotta say, for a show made in 1999, this episode feels like it hits home at modern times. While they don't divulge on what the crisis is per se, they still make it clear about the celebrity involvement in politics, which again, sadly hits too close to home. Further proof of how ahead of its time this show actually was. I also liked the stuff with Toby and the dog, and Posey's hunt for enlightenment, which did garner some great laughs. Particularly Posey's as she comes off as a total bad ass in this one, even if the action is mostly off-screen. I also like the character of Becca Michelle Butterfield, who is clearly meant to be Sarah Michelle Gellar, but the show couldn't get her, even with both Mission Hill and Buffy being on the WB. But most importantly, this is the first appearance of the "penis penis penis" guy and that makes this one a true classic. In the end, not the strongest in terms of plot, but still very important nonetheless.

Episode 12: Happy Birthday, Kevin (Or Happy Birthday, Douchebag): Penultimate episode time! It's, as the title suggests, Kevin's birthday. His first one away from his parents. However, instead of being a happy day, it's pretty much just crap in a bag (as in a horse literally craps in his backpack). Andy, annoyed that he has to host a birthday party for Kevin, just does a terrible version to try and break his spirits, despite them being already broken. Feeling sorry for him, Andy decides to give Kevin an actually decent birthday instead. However, even with Andy's best intentions, it still turns out terrible for Kevin (though that's more due to his constant complaints). Andy finally has enough of Kevin's bitching and calls him a douchebag. This prompts Kevin to just head back to his old home. It leads to a great final few minutes as Andy and Kevin bond in their folks old home, doing the things that would have gotten them punished.

In the B-Plot, Natalie brings home a boa constrictor after raiding an animal testing lab. Oh, right. Haven't talked much about Natalie and Carlos, mainly because this is really the most major focus they get in the series. Natalie is your typical politically correct character, with a hinge of Jewish stereotype, usually heavy in activism and whatnot, while Carlos, similar in mindset is an artist. They have a baby, which they haven't given a name to. With the snake in the house, Carlos fears that it will hurt the baby. When they hear baby noises coming from inside the snake, they assume the worst, and give chase, only to find that it ate the baby monitor instead, and is harmless to the baby. So they ultimately keep it.

I really like this episode, particularly in its final few minutes with Andy and Kevin bonding and not being at each other's throats. The whole episode is a good bit of character growth for both of them, with Andy actually showing some empathy for Kevin and trying his best, while Kevin learns to finally let the past go and that things don't always feel as good as they did before. Add in a few references to past episodes and even a reference to the fact that Andy was once as bad at holding his liquor as Kevin in the pilot and you have one of the show's finest works. The B-Plot was also fun, and gave Natalie and Carlos a bit more to do than they have throughout the series. Definitely wish more was done with them throughout the series as they're great characters, and what we get is still quality work. Overall, if this one was the season/series finale, I think it would have ended Mission Hill on the highest of notes. But with that said, up next we have...

Episode 13: Plan 9 From Mission Hill (Or I Married a Gay Man From Outer Space): The final official episode of the series. Kevin becomes allured by X-Rated movies at the theater, only to learn that the X is for older movies and that it's actually a revival theater with Wally as the projectionist. Over time, Kevin watches more and more movies, gaining a bit more of an appreciation for the classics. It all goes well until a lost movie called "The Man From Pluto" is set to play. It turns out that movie was directed by Wally and starred Gus, and it's been lost for ages, seemingly purposefully. Kevin, awestruck that his friend was a famous director, tries to get information about Wally's film history. Andy introduces him to crazed film expert Beardo.

Kevin invites the entirety of Mission Hill at the theater for the big airing of "The Man From Pluto". But upon watching, it turns out to be a really terrible B-Movie along the lines of an Ed Wood film. Everyone laughs at it, which has Gus confused and Wally humiliated. Andy gets answers from Wally, who reveals he once had a career in Hollywood as a director. But when filming his dream project "They Come From The Stars", he fell for Gus, and replaced the lead actor with him, ultimately causing the project to get worse over time. Kevin helps Wally realize that his movie overtime became a loving tribute to Gus, and helps him discover that people aren't laughing because they hate the movie, but they love how bad it is.

While not the best episode to end on, I still really love this episode. First off, it's a loving tribute to cheesy cinema and particularly the work of Ed Wood. I said it before, but it's worth repeating that I really like Gus and Wally, and this episode shows how genuinely they care about each other. It's a gay relationship that, especially for its time, doesn't just feel laden with tired stereotypes. It's also a good Kevin episode as he ultimately screws up, yet manages to help Wally see how his film does get appreciated in the end. Overall, it's a fun final foray into Mission Hill.

Technically, this was the last episode in production. Several other episodes were in the works before the shows cancellation. There are even a few animatics that exist, including a completed one that I've linked above. The show really had a lot of juice left running before it got cut too shortly.

BEST EPISODE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN

While Mission Hill had a lot of great episodes, I think the episode I appreciate most is the twelfth episode. The last few minutes in particular really help show the character growth for both Andy and Kevin, and how the show actually cares about how well it builds its continuity. It has a really good B-Plot with the snake too, so that's also a plus.

WORST EPISODE: ANDY AND KEVIN MAKE A FRIEND

Can't say there were any bad episodes of Mission Hill, but I will say Episode 5 is the weakest for me. It just feels like a less built up concept with Andy and Kevin both lusting over the same woman. It does make up for it with a great Star Wars parody and a fun B-Plot with Gus having a knife in his head, so there's that.

DOES THIS SHOW STILL HOLD UP?: YES

Okay, not in all areas does Mission Hill hold up. Like most shows, it has aged in a bit of its tech and concepts of what's cool. Also Andy's somewhat creepy perversions could be frowned upon in this day and age, but other than that, it's a show that still feels really relevant in its takes on politics, hipster mentalities, the horrors of reality television, it's takes on politically correct characters, its treatment of LGBT characters and more. It's definitely a show that I think got screwed by being on a channel that never gave it a chance and being smack dab in an era of adult animation that was being clogged by other contenders. Like I said with Undergrads, Mission Hill is a show that would have thrived if a platform like Netflix had existed in the heyday of the internet.

DID THIS SHOW DESERVE A LONGER RUN?: YES

I think this show had a lot more to offer and it's a shame it never really had that chance to show off how great it could become. I honestly feel it should have had several more seasons to continue to build up what was already becoming a strong world with quality continuity.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Mission Hill is a great show. It was great when I watched it in the early 2000s and it's somehow aged just as well on the rewatch. While I wish the show had earned a longer run, I also look at it, much like how the audience looked at Wally's film, it's a great cult classic. Much better made than that film though. Especially in the art of the show which pops really well with its neon hues and emphasis on blues and yellows. It really doesn't look like anything else, which really helps it to stand out even more. I highly recommend this show as is obvious, and the show is available on Youtube if you want to check it out and can't find the DVD set. Give it a watch and Bling-Blong.

FINAL RATING: A+

NEXT TIME ON "ONE SEASON WONDERS"...

For the legion of light! It's time to bone up with "Skeleton Warriors"
