I would have liked a bit more backstory such as BlackStar's crash and introduction to the trobbits. The 'home' scenes with the trobbits feature annoying 'funny' music and sound effects more appropriate for "The Three Stooges". This is a kids show after all. Since you mentioned "Thundarr" last week, I find that show rather more enjoyable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
