I was a fan - my favorites were Blitz and Colleen, though Hunter and Shag were also funny, and Exile and Muzzle too... Oh and don't forget Master... And the bad guys were funny too. But I'm not much of an RR shipper, really. I'd watch it for the humor. I was also angry when it and Freakazoid were both canceled. They were my favorites. D:

I enjoy the humor as well, but I must confess that I've almost always been a shipper and in all likelyhood always will be. but yes, I was rather perturbed when they canceled the show, and Freakazoid as well.

Yep, definitly remember them. I remember when it used to come on KWB then Cartoon Network. I remember once I was on Wikipedia or somewhere and I managed to regain some of my memories. When I went to Youtube to find the episodes, a big flashback literally came back to me. Road Rovers rule!! My favorite character was and still is Exile. I liked him a lot because he came from Russia, which is one of my favorite countries, and he is very loyal and kind to all his other companions.

Hunter's my personal favorite, partly because he's from the U.S., partly because of his super-power (I like to get things done quickly, so super-speed has always been one of my favorite powers), and partly because he's just such a nice guy. I guess when it comes right down to it, he had all the traits I wanted to have when I was that age (and in the case of getting a nice girl to notice him, at least one I still wish I had).

Never watched it when I was young but I gave it a go quite a few months ago, watched the first 6 or so episodes and I was suprised that the humour (although intended for children) was quite good actually. I would have loved the show if I watched it as a kid but even now I still think it's pretty good/funny. Can't remember the name of the Siberian Husky but he's by favourite, along with Blitz

The husky is Exile. I have some fanfics about them.

One of the best things i liked about Road Rovers was their sense of humor and the referal of contemporary issues at the time. XD

I think in some ways that's what killed it. Including real-world political figures kinda limits a show's lifespan.

Dragon, you've made a point there. Reference of contemporary issues may be somewhat offensive to people who take it seriously.

Well, it's not so much that as the fact that it makes it so topical. For example, what would happen to Hunter when the Presidential term expired?
