I liked the one with the vehicles better than the one with the lions.

Go back and rewatch Voltron... it's fucking awful. I remember loving it as a kid but I can't stand more than 30 seconds in retrospect.

I am with you....I will watch it if it's available in Canada.

Voltron was my all time favorite cartoon....and I currently have a Voltron pic as my desktop.

Just like a Seth McFarlane remake of the Flintstones, this simply cannot be a good thing.

I guess I was a weird kid .. I watched the oddball cartoons like Voltron, The Herculoids, Space Ghost and DBZ. I fail to see how they can be redone and improve on my childhood memories.

Just another in a long line of things being redone/'rebooted' that doesn't need it and will fail.

Always had a problem with Voltron and all the other copycats. (power rangers etc)

Ok if you can only win a freaking fight when you join the robots together to form the giant robot then why the hell do you ever break apart. :hmm: Just stay together as the giant robot all the time. DUH.

Kind of like Knight Rider. Just stay in the gosh darn car and you won't get hurt. No, he gets out of the car to tried to get laid and wham he gets beat up and held captive and the car has to save his sorry ass every episode.

Can we use Voltron yet?
-Have we tried to attack the Robeast with individual lions?
Yes and we got smacked around.
-Has the princess been hit?
Yeah, she has but she is better now.
-Okay, let's form Voltron.
Can we use Blazing Sword yet?
-Have we tried hitting the robeast with our legs or arms?
Yeah, that didn't work.
-Have we used the cross thingy on our chest?
As usual that did nothing.
-How about missiles?
Again, nothing.
-Fine, form blazing sword.
Wooo we won.

Never watched Voltron but I loved Power Rangers.

Past tense. Power Rangers belong in my memories, and I have no desire to ever watch it again. I can't imagine enjoying a children's show today.

EDIT: Oh yeah in Power Rangers I remember once or twice they got beaten even after they went into their big-joined-robot mode, so they just added another piece and boom instant win every time.

Watched it as a kid but never heard about it coming back as it wasn't one of my favorites but I will have to see if the first few episodes are decent.
