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.
