Interesting but repetitive

Okay ... we all pine with nostalgia for the pleasures of our youth. Sometimes they hold up, and sometimes they don't.

This spinoff from the Wacky Races ... quite a bit repetitive itself ... shunned a cohesive story in each episode for a series of seemingly deadly cliffhangers. It could have used less chasing and cliffhangers and more story.

However, if you can get hold of the version of episode one with the DVD commentary, it's a great listen, and you'll be quite amazed at the commentary from (then) 87-year-old Janet Waldo ... whose first voice work was as Judy Jetson! She sounds little different at 87 than she did in her 40s when she started voice work. The entire commentary is both amusing and interesting. Find it if you can.
