Well, I guess I will fire the first shot.
I wanted to like "Brats" I really did. I couldn't get WB so I watched the somewhat irregular airings on other stations here in Canada and the harder I tried to like it the less I did. I think they missed with it, they missed big time.
The show never seemed to click and the animatronic characters although well performed, seemed like very stiff and not up to the Creature Shop's standards (I believe another shop actually made them - can anyone confirm this?).
Of course I don't think WB gave it a fair shot either. Like too many other JHC projects, we'll never know what "Brats" could have become if it had a multi-season run.
