Équipe du temps

...I have to say that I really like this show. I also have fun editing for it and the quotes that people send in. I also like competiting with the cartoon strip-miner, Candace Elder (aka candy17)(who Angel-Marie sounds suspisiously like), on what's a goof and what's not (ex: "when Tuddrussel was screwing Larry's head on his body (after being beaten up by the farmers), Larry's expression changes when Tuddrussel says..." and "Al Capone's cigar changes length throughout the episode."). Plus I get word about new episodes from a myserious contributer named "BURGERTRAINS". Plus I post many episode ideas in the viewer comments, enspired by a contributer named "vze28cxg". In short, Time Squad is fun to watch and fun to edit.

OK, so this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy it a lot. There have been but a few episodes that I thought weren't that great. But, admittedly, I'm an historian and I enjoy shows that make fun of history.

I could go into all the reasons why I enjoy it, but I won't. I enjoy it. If you get a kick out of historical figures getting the stuffing knocked out of their legends, then watch. IF, however, you are a purist to the mythology of history, then you probably won't enjoy Time Squad at all.

In my most humble opinion, Time Squad is the best show on Cartoon Network. Its interesting characters and plain silliness make it stand out. My favourite aspect of Time Squad is the way the characters interact. Although I am, apparently, the only true fanatic of Time Squad, I would recommend this to anyone who simply likes the pure zany humour that I find in this show.

Perhaps this will come off as a bit smug, but sometimes TV shows are too clever and too transcendent--and therefore they are doomed to fail. I think this is the case with "Time Squad". While the basic story idea is basically a reworking of "Mr. Peabody and Sherman" (with Otto looking an awful lot like Sherman), the show had a really smart style and writing that probably baffled audiences. In some ways, much of the humor was lost of kids (such as the jokes and the rather 'special' relationship between Tuddrussel and Larry) and adults, who might have enjoyed the show, avoided it because it was a cartoon. As for me, I showed a few of the episodes to my history classes and the kids loved them--even if the stories were highly suspect historically speaking. But, the show WAS quite funny.

By the way, I have no idea why but the IMDb page for this show is VERY incomplete. It doesn't even list the full cast and most of the episodes aren't even listed or their air dates. Odd. And, it also makes it appear as if the show is STILL on--though it ended in November, 2003.

This is a great show in the same vein as The Tick and Animaniacs. The animation is reminiscent of the Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory. The humor is geared to be appealing to both kids and adults but I think its got enough tongue and cheeky-ness to keep the grown-ups in stitches. Its humor also reminds me a bit of Freakazoid too. Excellent voice acting by Mark Hamill, Rob Paulsen and Pamela Segall, as always, these guys are pros when it comes to making the characters memorable and endearing. An A++ from Me!
