I heard about it, but I never actually saw the series. Anyaway, I like all tv series that involve animals, so, if I ever had the opportunity to saw that show, I would surely become a fan.

Well, all the episodes are on YouTube, plus several music videos.

You'll right. The Road Roavers are cool!

I recently finished all the episodes on YouTube. The show was awesome in every possible way! And hilarious.
I loved all the characters...especially Blitz, and Exile. XD I loved how Sheena Easton (Sasha LaFleur from ADGTH2) did the voice of the Groomer and of Persia, the Space Rovers commander, who just like Brainy Barker is the leader of a crew of canine space heroes (and who I wish had had more of a role!) O.o
So yeah, love it...why can't they make 'em like this anymore? ;_;

Real reason? Nobody knows except for WB. Road Rovers was the second highest rated show on the channel at the time. Most believe it was cancelled by the amount of complaints from parents based on the "political incorrectness" of the show.

Personally, I think it was cancelled because it was way too cool for the nineties.

All in all, I think they signed the death warrant by inclding real-world political figures. That limited the show's lifespan to however long all those figures were in office.

That's a good thought. Yet, I think it's hilarious how the producers busted on Clinton every chance they got.

"We gotta settle this once and for all. Hillary? Oh, she's not here."

Personally, I don't think Bill needed the help.

Well I finally finished watching all thirteen episodes. I really wish they were on dvd.

I wonder where those people that posted all the episodes on youtube got them from?

Letranger · **Posted:** Mon Aug 27, 2007 12:02 pm

I have absolutely no idea.
Maybe they recorded them when they were on TV or something...=?
I don't understand why there are no DVDs. =[

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the people who posted must've taped them.

Yeah, I've been to that website before, and it doesn't seem to work for me either. Anyway, YouTube works just fine for me.

True, and another thing was including Princess Diana in the show, which was later edited out after she died... and I can imagine a lot of people complaining about how the characters seem to represent the stereotypes of their nationalities, which aren't always good... And I can also imagine people complaining about Blitz's habbit of biting people's butts... "No, I don't want my kid to be watching that! That's too suggestive!" Rgh... sometimes I think people should just zip it if it's nothing that bad.

Well, I'm a little leery about the butt thing myself. That's why in my fanfics he just talks about biting and never gets specific. But I can understand the steryotypes thing.

-sighs and rolls eyes- Me too. I hate how people can't stand anything nowadays. No wonder cartoons aren't as good.
I mean, honestly, how often do butts get bitten? It happened in Homeward Bound 2, and probably countless other things...I can't see what's offensive about that...no kid is gonna get anything out of it but a laugh. I think the adult in that situation just has too dirty of a mind. -_- Kids see and hear things a hundred million times worse everywhere else constantly.
And the stereotypes...eh, I don't necessarily see that in a bad way, I like the way they each represent their country...and well, what *isn't* a stereotype now?!
