well I watched some of the Wacky Races reboot, and it's actually not too bad.

The wacky Races was never a serious show, it was silly for the sake of silly, so the reboot doesn't mess up in that regard, although I'll admit the slapstick does go a bit too far at times.

The animation is better and a some of the characters have more character. Peter Perfect was very.... generic in the original series, I'd forget who he was most of the time, but here he's a lot funnier and enjoyable. Also Penelope is cooler in this show as well.

Of course it does have it faults.

About three quarters of the original cast are now gone, including some of my favourites like Professor Pt Pending and the Ant Hill Mob. the Professor has now been replaced by a boy genius named I.Q. Icky, who isn't too bad, although I agree with some reviews who say it would have been better if he was a girl as it would have added another female and broken the boy genius stereotype.

Also Dick Dastardly doesn't stop to set traps anymore, and when he does cheat, which is rarely, he dose it from his car, like everyone else did. Generally he's not so much the villain, more just the complainer of the group.

And finally, we don't find out who the winner is in most episodes, and at least a couple of times it was a non-racer.

But overall, it might not be the Wacky Races I remember, but I'm still enjoying it :)
