Favorite childhood TV show, but honestly episode 17 on Season 8 was supposed to be 1 hour, but in return was only 35 minutes. What a way to ruin my childhood TV show, by not playing the whole thing, after I spent over 3 dollars to get it and watch it. Going to request refund. Hence the reason behind giving only 2 stars. So disappointing.

I like this show, didn't "grow up" on it, but I think theres a lotta great episodes, my favorites being the Angelica heavy episodes, she's my favorite, the animation is great too, consistant style, the first season is a bit rough, but it irons it out by the 10th to 11th episode, then just got better and better season by season. And this proves this isn't nostalgia talking because I didn't grow up on this show {unfortunately, its way better than what kids started watching in the 2010's) 9.5/10

I have always adored the show on TV since I was a little boy. So, I thought it was convenient to watch whether and whenever I please. However, the biggest criticism I need to give is about the missing content. The "Vacation" episode from Season 4 isn't there and the last part of "All Growed Up" is gone as well, leaving it as an incomplete vessel. Seriously, what a ripoff.
