Needless to say this is a kid’s show and it will be up the alley of any small child you have in your home that may or may not enjoy playing the card game that this series pushes. Of course I won’t say the show is awful, it isn’t. But it IS a kid show for children and my 30 year old self sadly doesn’t get that thrill anymore. Still, the show as a whole is watchable regardless of my low rating I might have to give.
So here we have five fun for the whole family episodes. This isn’t G.I. Joe (Also from Shout Factory), but then again what is? You might not be seeing compelling TV, but it is a little bit wholesome of nothing else. Like I said with the last disc they put out of this show, if you have kids they will enjoy it. If you don’t then I’m not so sure this is your bag my friends.
