Being so long ago, I don't remember it super well (even though I'm aware that it's on YouTube and I could rewatch it any time I wanted). What I do remember is that the advertising had led me to assume that it was a new series and I was somewhat bummed to realize that it was just a pilot that the network was burning off and that no other episodes were forthcoming. I enjoyed the cartoon. I liked the sunny, retro futuristic setting, but also the way that 50s style optimism was cheerfully subverted by having all this supposedly marvelous atomic energy causing wild mutations amongst the strangely unconcerned population. At the time, I had no way of knowing that there was also a video game and a comic book; I only discovered that much later after stumbling upon a copy of the comic in a used bookstore. rocketdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574717380856957685noreply@blogger.com
