correction: It wasn't a cartoon, it was a puppet show.

Yes, the first season wasn't too bad. The rest was awful but what else were you going to watch?

Would anyone care to discuss the aerodynamics involved in the design of her habit? Could she deliver a 250kg bomb? How about her flight characteristics?

They saved a fortune on props and costumes. Heck, they used the same actor. Genius.

I especially liked that daddy-long-legs that was weaponized. I can't figure out why the Army hasn't developed those yet.

You could press a button on this thing on your left forearm, then point your right fist at something and blow the bejeezus out of it. How cool is that?

F Troop. If you haven't seen it there's a Surgeon General's report describing the damage it might do to your cerebral cortex. Best not investigate further.
