BeetleBorgs

Now that I look back at this, I think it was a pretty good show. It was something like Power Rangers, but not as good. especailly the Power Rangers series today. They are 10 times better than this. But I was never happy when a show had a kid as a hero, but this show pulled it off with 3 kids as superheroes. I think if the japanese version "Metal Heroes" continued in Japan, Beetleborgs would probably have gotten better just like Power Rangers.

This show was okay. It had some neat stories and some effects which were not all that bad. It had a more serious aspect to it than early Power Rangers. The biggest problem with this show was how it tried to fit in too much, with all weapons, allies and villains. They should of tried to space it out. Otherwise, this was a pretty good show.

Aside from Power Rangers, Big Bad Beetleborgs was one of my many favorite television shows to look forward to. It had a lot of stuff that Power Rangers had, which was enough for me to watch it. But it was a bit different though.

Three kids who love comic books are given one wish by a friendly ghost, Flabber. The kids wish they were their favorite comic book characters, the Beetleborgs! Drew McCormick becomes the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, and the leader of the team. He gains the power of telekenesis. His sister, Jo, becomes the Red Striker Beetleborg. She gains the power of super strength. Their friend, Roland Williams, becomes the Green Hunter Beetleborg. He gains the power of super speed. After fighting several monsters made by the bad guys, the Magnavors, they create their own Beetleborg, the evil Shadowborg. Shadowborg easily decimates them, causing the team to make a 4th member. An artist creates the White Blaster Beetleborg, and gives the powers to a classmate of theirs, Josh Baldwin. Josh defeats Shadowborg, but loses his powers as well.

Score: ***.5/*****

This was my favorite show when I was in 3rd grade. It was better than Power Rangers because the heroes are usually younger kids that work at a comic book shop who are less taller and their costumes are based on an insect just like the kamen riders. They fight monsters that were brought to live from comic books. My favorite character was The Blue Stinger, I even had the action figure of this guy but I threw it away a long time ago. It was first aired on Fox Kids then in a few short years later, it was re-running on UPN United Paramount Pictures. It was a good show.

I woke up one saturday morning and found this show on Fox. It was one of the coolest shows I've ever seen! Wait, I'm wrong, it is THE best show I've ever seen! It was at least 10 times better than Power Rangers and at least 5 times better than the original "Big Bad Beetleborgs" This one had cooler suits, cooler weapons, and cooler enemies. The Robot Saga was the best, where they had to fight robots. This show is fantastic! I give it **********(out of 5).
