The rescue heroes. a team of skilled, hardcore superheroes that rescue people around the world from disasters such as avalanches, fires, floods, and earthquakes. While it does stand out as a good show with good morals, it goes by way too fast and it's unrealistic.But it also suffers the main problem that barney and friends suffered - it tells the viewer to let the superheroes do the work. while that may be good to tell children to stay safe, it's not going to help 10 years down the road when the same child watches their mother get swept away in a flood that billy blazes and Wendy waters won't come to.In short, it tells kids to be wimps.This show ended almost a decade ago, but it still airs on Teletoon during noontime. it's worth a watch to laugh at, and to try to pick up on certain morals, like staying safe. but if you really wanna stay safe, don't watch this. watch real rescue heroes on Shows like "Cops" or "DEA".
... View MoreRescue Heroes is a Canadian cartoon series for children. My son loves them. His favorite is the firefighter, Billy Blazes. I think the show is good because there is no villain. The Rescue Heroes are mostly fighting against natural disasters. They inspire children to serve others. Also the program promotes teamwork, safety, and is a little cheesy. I think it's good stuff. We especially like Wendy Waters, Rocky Canyon, Ariel Flyer, Jake Justice, Al Pine, Roger Houston. They also use the latest technology, some of which is quite exaggerated. Next time you're caught in an avelanch, earthquake, ice storm, gas leak, fire or volcano eruption you'll want the Rescue Heroes to come by and save YOU.
... View More"Rescue Heroes" are heroes who rescue folks in peril around the world, any time, any place, anywhere (it's the right one, it's the light one, it's Martini... sorry, I got carried away); think "Thunderbirds" with women more heavily involved and music like the theme from "Third Watch," or "Emergency" with women more heavily involved and without the hospital bits. The show's watchable for sure, but the characters don't exactly corner the market in personality - their names are the most distinctive things about them (Ariel Flyer, Billy Blazes, Roger Houston [the team's equivalent of John Tracy], Jake Justice etc.) - and the show is based on a line of Mattel toys, which is a mark against it from the off. (Not that toy-based cartoons are intrinsically bad; witness "Mighty Max.") And as for those little tips at the end of each story (now upped to two in the newer shows - the first season had one story per episode)... I thought the days of tacking advice onto the end of cartoons ended with Filmation. But it's still better than (insert Japanese-game-based cartoon of your choice here, except "Cardcaptors").And remember, think like a Rescue Hero. Think safe.
