I used to watch this show as a kid and I was always a fan of the two films. The first season was great, it had the two main actors doing the voices of Bill and Ted and even George Carlin voiced the animated Rufus. The episodes are funny and have factoids about history littered throughout the episodes....And then the second season happened. No Keanu, no Alex, no George. They changed the animators and the theme song, and everything went down hill. Bill and Ted sound like they are going through puberty in the second season and the episodes aren't funny and they lost the magic.
... View MoreAwful plot, should have hired actors to be in the film, bad cinematography (can we say early 90's late 80's?) annoying soundtrack, hamhanded directing... the only reason I am even writing anything here is because I can't vote of the film for some reason.
... View MoreThe first 13 episodes of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures" benefitted from having Messrs. Winter, Reeves and Carlin reprising their roles from the movie, and was also a fairly amusing spinoff in its own right.Imagine my shock one Sunday morning to find entirely different voices, animation, and even theme song - Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon's creation had also spawned a live-action TV show of the same name on the Fox Network, and when the cartoon jumped from CBS to Fox everything changed... it was the stars of THAT show who did the voices. And that, to steal a line from the sequel, "was non-non-non-non-heinous!" Even the writing was inferior.As long as you watch the Hanna-Barbera episodes you'll be okay (hard to pass on a cartoon with Little Richard). Party on, dudes...
