Space Cases Review

Now, I admit that one of the reasons I feel such affection for Space Cases is because I grew up spending my weekends watching it as it was aired.

Aside from that, I have to say after re-watching it, it was a great show. In the beginning, it was all kid's stuff; just silly jokes and fantasies - but as the show progressed, it got better. It developed more of a plot, the characters became deeper and it got more exciting and watchable.

And then it was cancelled.

I suppose I can see why, as it was a children's show and started to get perhaps a little too deep for the audience it was intended for. Now, I'm not saying that this show became absolutely cutting edge of brilliant, just that it got much more intense and interesting than it started out as. It's the kind of show that, after watching what was filmed, I have the urge to track down the writers and ask them where this was going. I really want some kind of closure, but I'll probably never get it.

Other than for nostalgia, I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this show. It has a strange progression that makes it not quite for kids, but it's not adult enough for adults. Teenagers might enjoy it, but then there isn't a proper ending.
