I saw a commercial for it while waiting for the Simpsons to come on, and it frightened me. Thus, you frighten me, Inukko.

Hey!! Speaking of FOX, I heard that Escaflone is coming back! Apparently, Bandai(the shows creator) was mad at FOX for the rampant editing that they did. So, they sold the show to...Cartoon Network!! Now we'll be able to see Vaughn on Toonami!!

Oh yeah, no editing on Toonami... *snickers*

LOS LUCHADORES is the most fun show I've seen on TV in years-- let alone Saturday Morning! From the first, it reminds of what Adam West's BATMAN "should have been"-- with a bigger budget and taken more seriously-- yet not without a sense of humor. I almost seem to have a huge SMILE on my face whenever I'm watching. And, unlike the "heroes" of modern-day pro wrestling, LOBO FUERTE is every bit a "nice guy" kids of all ages can look up to. Vamanos!

Mexican wrestling is world-class schlock, like '60s Italian horror movies.Grew up in Phoenix watching matches in the proto-costume days.It was like '50s wrestling with more drama and better character development--nothing like it! Just keep opening the cold Dos Equis and anyone will get it, si o no?

Dos Equis is awesome, but I like Tecate.

Los Luchadores is my favorite show. An upright Hispanic-American genius wrestler, a fast-talking tech-genius 20 something wrestler, and a bisexual butt-kicking-cliche' female wrestler, saving the world from an evil genius chihuahua with a thing for the aforementioned female wrestler. Lots of fun.

And why do I say she's bisexual? She was hitting on Princess Sophia all throughout that episode.

Anyway, even thought many try to compare the show to Power Rangers, it's more a blatant (60s) Batman ripoff. Except with more continuity and character development, traces of character depth, less-inaccurate technology, and less character weaknesses. Though, for most part, Los Luchadores was done better, the shows are really very similiar in quality.. although I enjoy Los Luchadores more.

And anyway, the "dog" is not gay. He's expressed very blatant interest in Maria (trying to marry her). And the Whelp also hit on Maxine Harris, Lobo's crush. Although his rivalry with Lobo might be a crush...?

If any male on the show is gay, it's Lobo. Well, bi. Although Lobo showed attraction to Maxine and Maria, when Turbine's soul was in danger in "The Mask of Diablo Azul", Lobo seemed near tears for much of the later part of the episode. The confidence and assurance of Lobo Fuerte was replaced by a whiney, sob-y, "But none of this will matter if we can't get to Turbine on time!" And he put the whole city, perhaps the whole WORLD on the line just to save Turbine's soul. Although that might be platonic--I'd probably do the same thing for my best friend--some would argue that Lobo is in love with Turbine. But then again, didn't everyone say that Bruce and Dick had somethin' going on?

Anyway, I'm done rambling, but man, I love Los Luchadores.

Wow, its kewl to see so many people talking about this show. Personaly I know max, levi and sarah, and I am sad to say that this show ended. It was stupid entertainment politics. The show was great for kids and was a lot better done than power rangers. A little trivia for you guys, turbines original name was octane, and max aka lobo, is now back on the commercial circuit doing butter commercials. And as far as Sarah being bisexual, doubt it, she is sooo sexy. and likes to party. Levi has done a couple of gigs since this show, a regular on wolf lake, till that was cancelled, and starred in an independant film called 1820, which I think he did a great job. check it out at www.1820.org anyway, I said my two cents.
