Widget the World Watcher (or, how i learned to stop worrying and waste my childhood)

Oh boy, what did my nostalgic brain bring forth here? :o

 

The 90s where full of these "save the enviroment" cartoons and while i have nothing against people who care about trees and such, i really ask myself why we needed so many of them?

 

Many people like to point at Captain Planet and the Planeteers as the main example for those cartoons, but strangely enough, i remember Widget the World Watcher the most and i have no idea why. :blink:

 

For some reason, i watched this show daily when i was a kid and today it really sucks. I find most of the characters annoying, even Megabrain, who was voiced by the legendary Jim Cummings. I hate it that the enviromental messages are beaten over your head at almost every single episode and i think that Widget is an idiot.

 

This is very basic criticism i know. But i am not the kind of guy who makes big reviews. But trust me, don't watch it.

 

So yeah, this is my wasted childhood you're looking at. :(

The Show is from 91 and barely had any reruns, so i don't think you had any chance of seeing it, thankfully.

Holy crap, I remember Widget. Next you are going to post Denver!

 

But yeah, I can't stand to watch He-Man for the same reason. Things look so much better through the veil of nostalgia ...

When Denver came on, i usually turned on my big bros SNES and played a link to the past or Contra 3/Super Probotector. Never had interest in that show.

 

To be fair, i like to watch He-Man and the masters of the universe. :P
