I seem to remember Buzz Belmondo (more well know from Out Of This World) hosting this show even though neither this page or Buzz's page mention it.
I also only remember two sketches/videos: "Rockin Robin". Where Robin and Batman where beating up bad guys. Then Robin started beating up Batman. I remember it was done in the style of the 60s Adam West show, as the was on in reruns at the time.
The other bit I remember was ZZ Top's song "Legs". There where two or three models with long ZZ Top like beards on their legs. After the song it cut back to Buzz who pulled a clump of hair off his chest and threw it off stage saying "Hey ZZ Girls, you got a bald spot!"
I'd Love to find some clips (or full episodes) somewhere so I could rewatch it.

I picked this up because I saw the creator Silvio Disalvatore on the TV show "American Inventor".
Know going into this that it's not for everyone. If you know who internet reviewer Obscurus Lupa is and like the films she reviews, this film might be for you.
90% of the charm of this film is it's cheese factor and it's badness. It is enjoyably bad. There are parts where one main character calls another main character by that actor's name. The Black Cougar theme song is awesome. The special effects are on par with a Troma film (just not gory)
The film focuses on a toy maker who made himself a teenage son who he then retools to become The Black Cougar after a lot of the neighborhood kids get kidnapped by... smugglers?... human traffickers?... bad guys. The "bad guys" are selling the children to stereotypical foreign terrorists(?)... other bad guys. One of the kids when being put into a cell kicks one of the captors in the shin and flips him off. The kid has to be elementary school age and he's flipping an adult off.
Black Cougar goes in with some kung-fu grip Black Cougar action figures to take out the bad guys and even fights some break-dancing ninjas.... I'm not kidding. He cleans house and saves the day and the kids.
If you enjoy Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, or if you like watching "bad" movies with your friends and riffing on them, then by all means, check it out.
Personally I want to see Lupa review this film
P.S. Please do not go and check out the (no longer) "official web page"... definitely NOT of kids.

First let me say that I've seen a lot of reviews for this show online. Personally, I'm sure you can trust my review because I didn't work on the show.
I watched the first episode on Netflix and OH CRAP does it suck. The concept has potential, but just the general feel of the show isn't anything I want to waste my time on.
The show follows a gamer that (out of sheer luck) kills the top gamer in the world (or at least the USA) and gets accepted to the school as a result. The school is for game players and developers so they can be better at what they do.
You have your clichéd high school tropes: The underdog/outsider who wants to fit in and prove himself. The girl he is interested in and wants to empress, but she wants nothing to do with him. The girl who likes him, but he is oblivious to her. The jerk-jock who is his rival, but they'll probably become friends later. Unlimited rice pudding! Etcetera! Etcetera!
The writing is like you and your friends setting around giving the outline for an awesome TV show idea and then you film that without expanding on it.
It was slow, boring, annoying and unfunny. The only positive I can give it is it looks good. Everything is shot professionally and the special effects are great, but it's like encrusting a turd with gold and diamonds.
I can already hear some of you say "You can't judge an entire series on the first episode" well then tell me, what purpose does ANY pilot episode serve? It's supposed to make me want to watch the rest of the episodes. In that regard, it failed... MISERABLY.
If I have to rate it... I give it minus 5 stars.
