Ok Matt, I will admit I watched it too. It is badly acted with lots of
special effects. LEGO probably previewed the pilot and decided to save some
money to cover future losses in July by not advertising.
Let's face it, it is no Digimon, currently the only Saturday morning
offering I am loyal to (in its third season that airs two episodes each

for LEGO's Galidor release. :-P After all not too many shows survive more
than one season on Fox's Saturday morning line up (Power Rangers :-/ and
Digimon :-) currently).
