Byron Brubaker (hypathio7) This was a Disney after-school TV series. It's not what you'd expect from a Disney cartoon- it's darker, more dramatic, a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy. The story contains awesome plot continuity. As the series progresses more and more mythical and Shakespearean characters pop up and many Star Trek actors provide their voices. From animation voice actor regulars like Thom Adcox-Hernadez, Kath Soucie, Ed Gilbert, Bill Fagerbakke, Jeff Bennett and Frank Welker to more familiar faces like Clancy Brown, Edward Asner, Sallie Richardson, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes and Keith David the cast is stunning. I stand by my 10-star rating for the story of these heroes! In the last few years, I've revisited this series from my childhood with the Complete First Season DVD set and Volume 1 and 2 of the Season 2 DVD sets. Still a series to share with kids growing up today! However, avoid the third season with its name changed to The Goliath Chronicles.

jnovarr A classic in so many ways, that suffered an unfortunate and untimely death. For a "children's" show, had characters of incredible depth, who developed as the series went along. Xanatos is one of the great animated villains, who's motives are always ambiguous, and indeed changed as the series went along. He reached a point by the end of the series where it is hardly right to even refer to him as "villian" anymore. The gargoyles themselves matured as well, most notably Brooklyn.The story lines and animation were outstanding, always catching the eye and leaving you wanting more. Characters developed even when they were not featured in episodes, and often changed (in an understandable and explainable way) the next time they were seen.This is possibly the best American-made animated drama series out there. While it was geared towards children, there were things for all to enjoy. It didn't hit its peak till midway through the 2nd season, but from there never slowed down.The sad flip side of this is the horrid 3rd season "The Goliath Chronicles," made with mediocre animation and stories. I wouldn't wish that drivel onto anyone. But if you get a chance to watch the 1st and especially 2nd season, go for it and enjoy. Word of warning though, it's fairly involved and can be tough to pick up midway through.

VichusSmith I just got nostalgic all of a sudden about this show, Gargoyles. From the excellently casted voices (Keith David RULES this cartoon!) to the intriguing story lines and character relationships, Gargoyles had it all. It was too bad it wasn't allowed to carry on further. Jonathan Frakes was a great Villain, and the other baddies in the show were great as well. Gargoyles had everything, from romance to comic relief, from magic to science fiction. Just a great Disney series. I hope it's on DVD so everyone who didn't catch it can rent it for themselves and their families.

Movie_Poet I was just watching "The Green," and can't help but miss this show. It was what every good cartoon/kids show should be, for it tried to make itself interesting not just to kids but to everyone. The characters, the plot, and everything in Gargoyles was memorable and it's a shame it lasted only 2 seasons. I love rewatching this show, yet I always end up feeling cheated afterwards because a show as good as Gargoyles deserved much better than what it got out of its TV shelf life. As well, I'll always be bothered by never knowing how things turned out for all the characters on the show, even the so-called bad guys. Simply put, Gargoyles is the type of TV show that makes a person proud of television in general.
