Can you imagine your kids, glued to the television, watching a cartoon as if it were the real Olympics and rooting for their favorite team of cartoon characters to win? that's sort of exactly what this show was. I vaguely remember arguing with the twins next door about what team was better and worrying that the Really Rottins would win even though they always cheated and....the 80s were insane for children.
Cartoon crack.
And hysterical to boot.
Unfortunately, as you get older, it's harder to really identify with cartoons and root for your favorite teams like you did when you were really little.
It's harder to suspend your disbelief enough to convince yourself that, yes, this is a real competition like the Olympics for cartoons...
But as a kid, this was awesome and as an adult, well, it's as nostalgic as it is embarrassing. The vague memories of your five-year-old self and how memorized you were by the Olympics, how much you felt was at stake...well...
The good news is that now you can introduce it all to 5 year-olds and watch them get as excited about it as you were.
