The Freakazoid

The Freakazoid started out as a WB cartoon that lasted from 1995 to 1997, only having one full season one, and barely any season two, the show overall lasted for 24 episodes. Later, after the show had been canceled, the show ran re-runs on Cartoon Network. The Freakazoid revolved around the story of Dexter Douglas ( the biggest nerd in school) and for Christmas, he received a thing called a Pinnacle Chip, which made his computer run faster, to Dexter's excitement he went upstairs and installed the chip. Then, Dexter's cat accidently puts his paws all over the computer, typing in some strange password then Dexter pressed the delete button which was his biggest mistake ever. Then, he amazingly got sucked into cyberspace and got zapped by electricity to a point where he transformed into the Freakazoid, shown on top. Several cameos appear in the show, such as the Wakko showing up ( character from the Animaniacs) and in the episode The Freakazoid, brain apeared from the Pinky and the Brain, and an an animated form of Steven Spielberg (who was the executive producer of the show) the people at WB have finally released the show's first season on DVD, so if you are interested just check any nearby store that sells dvds. Picture taken from Google images. So, the last thing I would like to discuss about this show is about Freakazoid's incredible powers which match his sense of humor from time to time, he has incredible speed, incredible strength, transformation, and incredible humor, this power however comes from Steven Speilberg, and his cartoons, that's right, every single cartoon that Steven Speilberg has made has lots of humor, these cartoons include Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, The Pinky and The Brain, The Freakazoid, and even Hysteria.
