I loved that show as a kid!!
The Sleestak were trippy
Marshall, Will and Holly
I remember seeing this show as a kid and being surprised at some of the SF concepts they were sneaking into the show. The episode where an “advanced” time traveling Sleestak realizes that the sluggish, brutish Sleestak were not his long lost ancestors but the descendants of his people was a neat twist thrown into a kids show.
I saw an advanced article for the 2009 film and was absolutely happy when I saw the movie quality Sleestak costume. I hoped that all the trippy Sci-Fi concepts would be given a chance to be explored. Then I scrolled down and saw Will Ferrell’s face and groaned.
Upvoted for even mentioning Theodore Sturgeon, a forgotten genius.
All that talent and they still SOV.
Now here’s a show that needs a great reboot!
The theme song was 🔥 🔥 🔥
Chakka is such a boss mf.
I used to love this show as a kid. Now I’m a trekkie, kinda makes sense
Wow, that’s an impressive list actually.
Amazing that, with all those writers, the story didn’t turn into a meandering, pointless mess that ended going nowhere.
Oh, wait. That was Lost.
It’s hard to watch La Brea having absorbed LOTL as a kid.
