To me, the best kids shows are the ones that both kids and parents can enjoy together. Well, "Lancelot Link" is definitely NOT a program that the parents can watch...as after about five minutes the novelty will wear off and the parents will be praying for their own death! It simply is a chore to watch this show unless you are a child. Think about it....the show is nothing but chimps dressed up in human guise and acting out (very crudely) a James Bond-style show. As a 6 year-old, I was even bored by it--though I had friends who watched it regularly. Heck, when I was a senior in high school, I even knew a guy who skipped school just to watch it!! So, obviously someone liked it. But then and now, I simply don't get it and it's a one-joke show that you'll either tolerate or it will annoy you to no end...especially if you are older than 5.

The kids might like it...the adults might just pray for death!
