There are no mods here.
I would just delete these kind of comments.
But that's just me. A normal thinking person.

Wow a positive review, and rightfully so of an awesome kiss ass show! I recently reviewed this show, but as always I'm outdone by NC...Nicely done

Does it really matter? People who just type "first" are kind of annoying anyway, because let's face it, no one cares that they were first!

Love the review. Oh, quick FYI, while surfing the net earlier, I discovered that the creator has confirmed that Lexington is actually gay. Also, he is putting out comics with the help of Slave Labor Graphics.

This was one of your funniest reviews yet Doug Bravo!!!!!
If only we could get more eps of you every week! Keep it up!
-
06.24.2009 - 15:56 | The Angry Movie Dork - I agree
But Doug has to watch the movie, record the dvd footage on a file. Write a script, Re-write it, act it out, Edit it, Re-edit it, as well as draw the title card and do his 2 to 3 week Ask ThatGuy episodes and Bum reviews as well as other videos. How can he possibly have time to make more NC episodes. He'd die of stress.
-
06.24.2009 - 05:59 | Nerdslab - I agree
Since Doug writes 2 diferent scripts for bum, Nostalgic Critic, and has to figure out answers for ask that guy, there is no way that Doug could possibly, release an episode every Week. Ask that guy doesn't get a new episode every week, niether does his other review shows, so why would there be a nostalgic critic episode every week. He has to be fair with the fans of his other review shows.

what if he got paid enough from advertising companies to make a living off of this? Than everyone would be happy

08.06.2009 - 06:19 | Opera Guy - The voice for Goliath
The actor that did Goliath is Keith David. He's been in a bunch of movies.
He's known the best as the voice in the NAVY commercials.
-
06.24.2009 - 00:21 | Skitch - A positive show/review - refreshing! :D
I remember Gargoyles well. The music production was AWESOME, especially for the opening credits.
Great review/synopsis.

All hail Lord Spork!

06.23.2009 - 21:07 | Malcorl - wth
NC i have yet to watch this review but from where i am its 3;05 in the morning why do you post these videos so late you live in Chicago the time is only an hour off from me, with that said I know I'm going to love this review because well its F##KING GARGOYLES!!!!

-

Great review. I think Doug and I are the same age(may have me by 1 year) but even as a highschooler, this was my one guilty pleasure.
I'm still mad that the show wasn't extended to a 3rd season(DvD that is). They even decided to not release the 2nd part of the DVD

-
06.23.2009 - 21:09 | Rivas - Goliath is a Woman!
Man, I had not laugh so hard in a while.
GOLIATH IS A WOMAN!!!
I remember here in México they sold some "Gargoyles Movie"... Only in a VHS or so... Do I assume it was just two or 3 episodes and they ripped us off by calling it a TV movie??
-
06.24.2009 - 02:22 | interslicery
Well.. Technically it was just episodes. But part of the first season was done exactly like a movie, and takes the first 5 episodes of the show. Similar to Reboots final 8 episodes being 2 "movies"(Daemon Rising, and My Two Bobs), or Samurai Jacks series premiere.
-

I've got DVD with movie Gargoyles that goes nothing near that series, but my god! That movie s soooo crappy. It got paste gargoyles in it. First class.
-

this show always confused me when i was younger, so i never watched it. Great review as always though

PS-is it just me, or when the dog gargoyle "wakes up,"it sounds like he's saying "mother fucker"?
-
06.23.2009 - 21:28 | HatefulCactus
Gotta love Keith David's voice acting!

Wow... I actually made it to comment on the first page xD
And fredigood2 said... "Another anime"
o ó
Wrong, wrong, "anime" is used only for japaneese cartoons. Animated, well thats different hoho bye
-
06.24.2009 - 07:34 | coconut
ahh yes... this takes me back to when i watched this religously.
that disney opening with all the cartoon characters brought back soo many memories!
Even back when I was a kid I remember this being a pretty deep series. It's cooler now that I know there are some Star Trek voices in there, haha.
09:44...... ew. lol
Ya know, having a gargoyle outside my front door would do a far better job to scare bad guys away instead of a phony security sign.
*le sigh...someday.
-
06.23.2009 - 21:11 | manicmonad - I loved this series growing up!!!
I completely forgot about it until I saw this video. This, surprisingly, really has me "nostalgic." Thanks, awesome video.

I LOVED this show. Always kept up with it, until that last season.
Great work as usual.
-

Hell yeah! been waiting for this.
It was hard for me to believe this show was made by Disney, but it was. Boy did i love Gargoyles.
-
06.23.2009 - 21:15 | FAILincorporated
One of the few shows I can remember. Don't they still rerun this on Disney?
-
06.23.2009 - 21:35 | Ashariel
Goliath is voiced by Keith David, the most badass voice ever.
The Spawn cartoon wasn't that great, but with Keith doing his voice, oh damn was it awesome ! (by the way NC, you should consider reviewing this)
And he was Vhailor in Planescape Torment man, PLANESCAPE TORMENT !! Now that's win.
"Justice is not blind, for I, am her eyes" pure awesome.
-
06.23.2009 - 21:27 | Lumpmoose - There are new comics too
The show didn't just end with the (crappy) 3rd season. The new comics are written by the original creator and replace the 3rd season storyline all together. New books are coming out in July and August.

awsome review. funny thing about lexington is that he was supposed to be gay later on

Gargoyles ^_^
Another Golden part of my childhood.Disney needs to step it up with it shows, theres nothing on that can b taken serios anymore :/
-
06.23.2009 - 21:24 | Thismanwithoutthemspecs - Never knew this show existed...
ZOOL MOTHER F--KA! =D
Awesome review Doug. Always love hearing the things you appreciate. Now if I could only get you to review Megaforce...
-
06.23.2009 - 21:24 | Mr.wierdo - Nice Review
I distinctly remember this, though I wasn't interested at the time. Boy did I regret it!
Thanks for your input!
-
06.23.2009 - 21:25 | mardcon2002 - I almost forgot about this one
One thing we must remember is that these cartoons were made for children, but written by adults. Disney may be an omnipowerful cut throat corporation with the face of all child happiness, but you have to admit they maintain good story telling.
I would love a man with a voice like Goliath, that Barry White thing is so hot....bowchickawowwow.Great review NC

My girlfriend has all of season 1, and the first half of season 2 on DVD... Last
I heard was that Disney wasn't making enough money off the sales of the DVD, so
it may be cancilled from release.... but I miss this show...I wonder if Doug
thought it wasn't important to mention "Coldstone" the cyborg gargoyle
voiced by Wharf... i misspelled his name, but the klingon.
and last I checked, they have a bunch of comics being released either now, or a few years back, the art is pretty good too
-
06.23.2009 - 21:26 | RedKanary
I loved this show. To add to the list of Star Trek actors, Michael Dorn (Worf) was the Cyborg gargoyle Coldstone, LeVar Burton (Geordi) showed up as Anansi the Spider, and a bunch of others had one-offs or bit roles.

An entire generation has grown up around me not knowing Disney was for a short time quality not just marketing!!
Keith David is one of the best North American voice actors of my generation, but sadly kind of forgotten. Greg Weisman vision, along with the whole sub-culture of the Disney Afternoon was buried by Disney, giving us the current era of Hannah Montana and co. (yawn).Disney excuse for not releasing Gargolyes S.2 Vol.2 is just their excuse for exercising cultural censorship since they won't official release/sell the rights to Gargoyles either as far as I know. Other stuff they've done needs release/re-release anyhow, beyond taking Bambi out of the vault.
I'll be checking out the books too, maybe a new era of gargolyes is coming thanks Lumpmoose!! Just pray we don't get M.Bay doing a live action movie for it...shudder.
