LIVE

I hope the 90s revival also brings back those commercials where men do manual labor *sexily*

Ok, this is something that has bothered me for almost 10 years now. We have all these shows that are getting rebooted and revamped, but most of them got to live their whole stories and lives before being canceled or ending properly. You know what show deserved to be given at least another season, but got cut down? SWAT Kats! 

This show had everything, monster of the week, cool looking fighter jet fights, kick ass animation, great characters that had layers, secret identity shenanigans, and it was just overall great! It was taken off the air because, at the time of its original release, the censors were cracking down on “violent” cartoons. Looking back on SWAT Kats, its definitely not violent enough to warrant canceling especially when compared to shows like Infinity Train, Avatar the last airbender, and Batman TAS.

 I think that the series deserves to be made again the exact way the original show should have been made. It would be such a great nostalgic blast for so many people if they made the show to look like it belongs in the early 1990s and with things like Starlight Brigade we know its possible. I just think this show deserves to live its life out and be given the chance that was stolen from it to be a classic loved by people like me who enjoy Gargoyles, Batman TAS, and other old gritty cartoons.
