I wasn't too keen on this, either, and as I noted, the cheesy theme music was a turn-off.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-28584688913267528682011-08-03T07:51:49.031-04:002011-08-03T07:51:49.031-04:00I remember this show!
Haven't seen it since ...I remember this show! <br /><br />Haven't seen it since it's debut but I remember it being so cheesy! I tended to tune out of shows that were direct ripoffs of video games.<br /><br />The show seemed to try to blend Knight Rider (since there were sentient cars helping to save the day) and Devlin (orphan siblings going on with life) by having kid heroes for Pole Position which itself was the family business.<br /><br />Due to the concept, it dates itself so badly it's almost cringeworthy!magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
