[MarsHottentot]

I was 25 when Beetleborgs hit, had to work, and forced my roommates to tape the first EP (VHS!). I knew it would be goofy - Power Rangers taught me not to have high expectations regarding the way the material would be "down-henshined" - but I admit that Flabber and the gang actually blew my mind. It was clear that someone on the production staff loved the old 70's "Monster Squad" / Sid & Marty Krofft shows and was going to do a pastiche of that and didn't really give a crap about the Metal Hero stuff.

Today, BBBorgs is just so, so, sooooo weird and stupid, I can't help but smile - it makes no sense and I really like that about it. Besides, from what I've seen of the original, it's not like Saban took Kamen Rider Ryuki and threw a Scooby Doo plot around it - it's pretty goofy on it's own.
