Freakazoid!

Freakazoid is a cartoon show produced by Warner Brothers Animation that ran on Kids’ WB from 1995 through 1997. Dexter Douglas is a standard computer nerd, no life, no fun, and definitely no girlfriend. One day, Dexter is sucked into cyberspace and is transformed into FREAKAZOID! He’s an insane superhero with all kinds of incredible abilities, a job working for (and annoying to no end) the police, and a girlfriend named Steph. Originally, creator Bruce Timm wanted Freakazoid to be a serious superhero show, but producer Steven Spielberg insisted that it would work best as a slapstick comedy. Each episode consisted of two Freakazoid shorts and a mini-segment, usually another, equally comedic superhero. After its cancellation, cartoon network began airing re-runs of the show’s two seasons. In 2003, it was taken off the air, not to return to the American consciousness until the first season DVD set was released in 2008. MORE
