Lloyd in Space

Lloyd in space may fall into the category of your typical run of the mill cartoon, but that is not to say that this cartoon will disappoint. It won't. It has very likable characters that may look familiar, but its lead character is one of a kind. Lloyd has a lot to learn about himself and life in general. The interesting thing for kids is, Lloyd is experiencing his turbulent teen years in a world very unfamiliar to any of us. Lloyd has many adventures in space all the while learning very important life lessons. The first episode when Lloyd turns thirteen is very touching and insightful when he discovers just what being a man means. I think this is a cartoon all kids should watch.

Words cannot describe how this formulaic, cliché farce about a green alien teen (and his daily struggles) makes me feel. Not since before the airing of "Fillmore" had Disney EVER put out something so captivating. Many have said that "Lloyd in Space" is basically just "Recess" in a different wrapper, but I beg to differ. Although Recess was a gem in it's own right, it didn't come across as having the same production quality as Lloyd in Space, or the same writing/acting quality (Yes, even voice-over actors can be bad). Although its not original (in any way, shape or form), "Lloyd In Space" carries a certain signature style, which I believe can NEVER EVER be duplicated (With exceptions held for "Paul & Joe", of course). I'd give anything to have a final episode placed in production, where every question us "Die-hard" fans have could be answered

In 2000, Paul and Joe, the creators of Recess (and also the key writers of "Rugrats" from 1991 to 1995, also known as the good era of "Rugrats", before Nick took over) realized that "Recess" is on its last legs before getting canceled by Disney (in other words, "Recess" was close to the 65th episode). So, they made another show, "Lloyd in Space". That turns out to be nothing more than some cheap-ass (sorry) imitation of Recess with aliens, robots, and spaceships thrown into it. Lloyd, like TJ in "Recess", is just another misfit kid with misfit friends (except that Lloyd is not a schemer, unlike TJ and TJ is not a dork unlike Lloyd). Like in "Recess", the adults are treated like tyrants who make life tough for children by making rules and blowing off steam at them, and an example is Lloyd's mother, who is portrayed as strict on her kids (also, the robot teacher in school is strikingly similar to Mrs. Finster in "Recess"). Like in "Recess", there are characters on the show that are rich, popular, and gossipy bitches (sorry, again) that talk badly about Lloyd and his friends and that they think they're hot stuff and that their vocabulary is of barely anything more than "whatever", "totally", and "like..." (that blue alien bitch [sorry] is strikingly similar to Ashley A. in "Recess"). And heck, certain characters sound like characters in "Recess" (Lloyd sounds like Gus, Eddie sounds like Gelman [although Gelman is a bully on "Recess" and Eddie is not a bully], the robot teacher sounds like the secretary on "Recess" [I think her name is Mrs. Lemon], Douglas's mother sounds like Mrs. Grotke, and that that blue alien woman sounds like Ashley A.). If I hear people saying that this show is fresh and original, they have a very bad taste in entertainment. I give this a 5 out of 10

If you remember the glory days of Saturday morning cartoons (that would be the 70's), then this show will undoubtedly be a delight to you. Very well written, with interesting story lines (that aren't abandoned half-way through, like some other shows I won't bother to mention), and animation that is clear AND colorful. This is a clean, crisp, articulate show that makes this viewer 'nostalgia-satisfied'. Great job Disney, I hope you intend to try and duplicate this triumph!

i thought Lloyd in space was really nice show. i liked the episode love beam #9 when Douglas beams this love thing at Brittany for Lloyd and she falls in love with him. Lloyd thinks it's great at first but then Brittany gets to attached and Lloyd either chooses stuck up- Brittany or head over heals for Lloyd Brittany. Lloyd chooses stuck up Brittany any when she changes she brings Lloyd to this old tree that has words on the tree saying Brittany loves Lloyd which she put when they were very little and just met. Lloyd gets told by Brittany that she has had a crush on him for all those years. adding really apologetic music in the background it almost made me cry. this episode is my all time favorite. it was very touching. (tear tear) i think that Lloyd In Space was a very good show.. before it got canceled. now it is only just a canceled memory show that is shown on Family channel (46) if you want to watch its on at 8 15am and some times at 3pm.. so anyways for any one else that is out there and is a fan of this show and feels my joy for Lloyd in space.. your not alone(: out of all the shows i have watched(cartoons) Lloyd in space is my number one touching heart filled show. thank you for reading this paragraph my very long paragraph i give this show a 10 of 10
