Should be called blacked-out audience. What an absolute snooze fest. Between the psychotic musical singing bowl soundtrack and the ridiculous writing I don't know what else to say. Oh except. Just don't waste your time and move on to an episode of Scooby Doo. At least ther is a mysterious aspect to Scooby and the gang.

This is probably the best of all the filmation series and movies. By the time this came out the TV show to promote a toy line craze was winding down. Filmation realized the only way there were going to pull this out of the failure bin was the make changes. So unlike the weirdo cheesie Orko, Snarff, T-bop comic relief characters they came up with the Prarie People. These comic relief characters were actually useful and not hard to endure because they weren't just insipid.

Then the main characters and story had heft to them. Marshal Bravestarr was actually cool, kind, intelligent, spiritual and multidimensional. As were all the others like Shaman and Thirty Thirty. Even the female characters were practical, intelligent and skilled, not just a damsel in distress. The action scenes were great. The stories were a lot deeper than say, He Man or She Ra and the characters didn't always win and sometimes made mistakes. It was well rounded and a pleasure to watch.
