Title: Pirates Of Dark Water
Post by: Miyabi on July 08, 2008, 06:21:48 PM: The more I ask people, the more I seem to think I somehow imagined watching this show. Did anyone else ever watch it?

Post by: GorgonlaVacaTremendo on July 08, 2008, 06:43:58 PM: I remember when I was younger I saw this show one time at my Grandmother's, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I didn't have cable or satellite at the time, and it wasn't on local channels around here, so I promptly never saw it again. Or maybe a few times again.

I firmly believe that if I were to see it now, though, it'd be something like me watching the Power Rangers Movie (which my girlfriend made me sit down and watch a few weeks ago): entertaining when I'm eight, boring when I'm twenty.

In fact, the Power Rangers movie and Pirates of Dark Water had more similarities than that. They both had flying monkey(s), too. Maybe they both bashed the Brady Bunch reunion--I'm not really sure.

However, Power Rangers was a very dumb show, although it seems to be really popular in Japan these days. ha ha

All I can really remember about it was that some of the voices were done by the people who did some of the voices for the Transformers. Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, I think.
