Chicks Dig Giant Robots!
Remember that line? It was the theme song from Megas XLR(Xtra Large Robot). I wonder if they are still showing Megas XLR on Cartoon Network, Astro? If you're still going the Megas-what-now, look it up on Wikipedia. It was one of my favorite shows though most of my friends didn't think too much highly of it. The show ran for 2 seasons before being canceled in 2005. But there are still loyal fans who would love to get their hands on an action figure of Megas.
What is not to love about a show where a couch potato(Coop) turned into an anti-hero by a)modifying a futuristic advanced high tech robot. b)putting a cool car as the head of the robot. c)smashing other robots to win a wrestling title belt(in of of the episodes) d)making fun of other cartoons like Power Rangers & Voltron(the funniest!). Plus it had a cowardly best-friend/sidekick and a hot babe. All thrown in for a delightful and humorous adventure.
Come to think of it, I haven't even seen the DVD anywhere. For whatever reason it was canceled it's a shame that such a good show did not stayed on for more seasons. But maybe we'll get an answer during the Dragon Con held this month when the co-writer of the show, George Krstic will have the first ever Megas panel. Let's hope for some good news.
