That is a money saving intro. Just play the pilot episode back and forth.

I recall enjoying this show. And, it helped raise public awareness about toxic waste. Specifically, the awareness that toxic waste is awesome and gives you superpowers.

Lloyd Kaufman was flabbergasted when cartoon producers offered to turn his violent R-rated movie into a children's show. They couldn't use "Avenger" in the title because it sounded "too dark."

The toys were pretty badass though.

And then they all got cancer.

I never saw the cartoon, but I enjoyed the toy jingle: "Toxic Crusaders! They're gross, but they still get girls!"

I remember this show. It tried as hard as it could to stay faithful to the original. Given the limitations it had to deal with, it could've done a worse job.

On the other hand, it was still unwatchable.

I remember this show!
I even remember the song that the Toxic Crusaders sang when they became a band of heros:
We're The Toxic Crusaders
We're The Toxic Crusaders
We're The Toxic Crusaders
andthatwe'reprettysureof!

man, that was tacky and awesome at the same time

Holy shit ... I used to love this ... I wasn't aware of Tromaville until much later when I discovered the internet.

I enjoyed the bi-weekly comic so much more though because it had all the nastiness they couldn't put in the television series.

Woah, flashback; I remember it now - came back from school with my grandfather and we had pizza and watched this. My grandad was so frikken cool.
