Zeroman

A reference in a recent retrospective on the career of Leslie Nielsen and a fairly detailed entry in a certain on-line encyclopedia were enough to convince me to splurge for the complete 13-episode series on DVDs.

A superhero parody it is, but lame it is not. Definitely not for the kids, for when it's not toilet humor of the most overt sort there's enough nudge-nudge-wink-wink to keep it off Nickelodeon and the like for many years or even months. And it doesn't match The Tick for imagination, The Venture Bros. for bite, or Invader ZIM for sheer unadulterated twistedness...but I still couldn't help viewing all the episodes in nearly one sitting. End of the day you want a laugh or at least a reason to smile, and more often than not you get one.

Leslie and company sound like they have a blast even if I get the distinct impression Ryan Reynolds is acting. And the voice casting of hockey commentators Don Cherry and Ron MacLean as evil henchmen attired as hockey commentators is genius. I now feel inspired to seek a suitable opportunity to use the word "zeroific" in the workplace...

This is a really fun animated show. It's very Canadian in style and comedy, plus obviously the voices of Leslie Nielsen (rest in peace please) and Ryan Reynolds who are both hilarious.

The stories are fun, the kids and parents will all like it. It's familiar in some ways but also very original with lots of twists and takes on the typical superhero tales. Highly recommended for the entire family.

What I can say about this series is that, in my opinion, it is a complete failure! I mean, come out! A 66-year-old superhero? And also, his secret crush is a woman, a co-worker at the post office where he works, who is 34 years younger than him. GROSS! What was going through these people's minds when they created such crap?

Again, after seeing a brief preview of the show on TV, I quickly concluded that it was complete crap. This adult series, as well as many other animated series for adults like myself, feature an excessive number of ridiculous clichés that I despise. I mean, another lame superhero parody? And I totally hate parody!

This series is overall so dreadful that I strongly advise against watching it. The poor quality of this show is emblematic of the declining popularity of 2D animation in film and television. So avoid it.

This was one of the good remainng shows left on teletoon. This along with the early seasons of 6teen, class of the titans and carl squared (season 1 only) were the last remaining good show's on teletoon. in fact, 2001-2005 are considered to be the "Golden Age" of teletoon. This is similair to how 1997-2004 are considered to be the golden age of cartoon network and the Disney channel, before these terrific channels went downhill with terrible disasters like Johnny test and jimmy two-shoes. Teletoon themselves has gone downhill ever since 2006. They stopped coming up with their own show's, and instead took awful show's like chop socky chucks and Ben 10, and put it into teletoon. It's no surprise why teletoon is so unpopualar and dumb. Before, they were still pretty unpopualar, but at least they had good show's like what about mimi? or what's with andy, the ripping friends, my dad the rockstar, and Braceface. I doubt these good teletoon classics would come back.

Doris Roberts plays a mom keeping her son at home just like she is on everybody loves Raymond.zero man's foe, Rusty Woodenwater laughs like chuckles the silly piggy on Dave the barbarian.zero man stop's the villains by mistake like some of Leslie Nielsen's shows like "Mr. Magoo" and "Scary Movie 3". Since hockey is canceled, Don Cherry & Ron MacLean are on this show as Rusty's helpers.hopefully they don't cancel this show like hockey.It is good to hear Kevin Mcdonald on another TV show other then "Lilo and Stitch".zero man and his sidekick O Boy has 0's on their costumes. when zero man put's his glasses on he is zeroman and when he takes them off he is Leslie Mutton and nobody knows who he is when he is zero man and that is the opposite of Superman.
