Talk about this great mid-90s WB cartoon.

Out of the WB comedy cartoons of the 90s, this one is probably the best. It was probably the most solid out of them all next to Pinky And The Brain, and was one of the most out-there shows I've ever seen.

Thoughts?

We never had Gargoyles shown around here, so it took me years realizing what were the Lawn Gnomes parodying.

Meh. This show was too obnoxious for me. The theme song was great though.

@5 I was in high school French at the time, as was my best friend. We were hanging out together watching Freakazoid! on the morning that episode first aired. We had problems breathing from laughing too hard.

I wonder if Freakazoid being friends with a literal cop(cosgrove) would be issue if they ever did a reboot of this show?

also their cops parody is great
