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.

-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?!

Yeah, but isn't it better to err on the side of caution? Things like that are sort of like a swimming pool full of crocodiles. Who's more likely to get eaten: the guy playing balance beam on the edge of the pool, or the guy ten feet away? Granted, my analogy is a little heavy-handed for this particular case. But why do crazy stuff unless there's a point to it?

No, I get what you're saying, Dragon Tamer, and I generally agree with that. I just don't consider Blitz's butt-biting as "crazy stuff," I guess. :lol:

I just see it as one of those sorta goofy things kids'll find funny in a cartoon, y'know?

Awe I loved that show so much.I wish it was back on air again :cry:

Admittedly, I'm akmost glad it's not. I hate to think what animators would do to it these days. If there were some assurance that it would be handled like it was back then, I'd agree with you whole-heartedly.

Humm, maybe Road Rovers will make a cameo in tv, in a movie, or in a fanfic...

Oh, it's gonna be more than a cameo in some of my stories.

It was an awsome show. I was able to download it from online then I burnt it onto a cd after that

I wanted to do that too, but I don't have a burner.

A point to it? For the love of God, it's a freaking cartoon! Whoever said there had to be a point to anything?! Besides, showing Blitz biting people there is a LOT better than showing Blitz ripping out people's necks, now, don't you think?

I'd like to see you show me a kids's show that has that these days. Look, I never said that Blitz's habits ever prevented me from watching the show. As for your use of the words "for the love of God," some of the things I've seen you say on DevianArt (forgive me if this comes across as an insult or a theological statement), leave me somewhat in doubt as to whether you even think there is a God. But that's a side issue anyway.

Same here, but I rendered it to DVD. The poor quality is a tremendous downside, but until the show officially appears on DVD, I can live with it.

If it ever does show up on DVD, I'm buying it.

I'll be the weirdo in silver-blue body armor behind you yelling at the line to hurry up. XD

I'm Protestant, if you must know. But don't get onto the religion topic, because I will lock this if you do.

But honestly, I said the thing about ripping out necks, to just give an example of where else he could be biting people. Besides, biting people there is more for the comedic effect than anything, really. This show was supposed to be somewhat funny, wasn't it?

Well, I guess that's true.

I'm a big fan of Road Rovers myself, I was angry when I learned they canceled it.
