Hey man speak for yourself. While I’m not the biggest sports guy, I honestly enjoyed it a lot as a kid with the adventurous thrill feeling many episodes had and the kids having fun participating in many sports activities.

I mean, Rocket Power definitely wasn't one of Nickelodeon's best, but I did get a kick out of the random background gags that occurred out of nowhere. Of course, I can think of a lot worse things than Rocket Power, like users who impersonate real-life people or fake announcements for reboots of actual cartoons *cough cough*.

I enjoyed several episodes of the show, even if it was trying to be "totally radical". I like Sam's computer expertise and Twister's videography skills, and there were some genuinely funny episodes (such as "Double-O Twistervision" where the gang makes their own action spy movie, "Beach Boyz and a Girl" where the gang forms their own rock band that ends up taking a Milli Vanilli-esque approach, and "Sim Sammy" where Sam devices an online game with exaggerated unflattering parodies of his friends). With the last one, it's amusing how Sam was able to develop such a fairly elaborate game and even sample his friends' voices for it (it's like he had a precursor to today's AI text-to-speech programs that can emulate certain people and character's voices!). Also the way their action-spy movie and their music video in their respective episodes feature some pretty elaborate video editing skills, as if Sam and/or Twister used Adobe Premiere to edit them! (I'm pretty sure the Twist Cam was an analog camcorder of some kind, likely a Hi-8 one given its size, and so they'd need an analog-to-digital converter or capture card to edit Twister's footage on a computer, but it was indeed feasible back then!)
