Even in NYC this show came on very early, but the toys were amazing. The figures were about 8 in. tall fully poseable with cloth uniforms, and tons of accessories, from helmets, pistols, rifles, holsters, and each figure came with an audio tape, featuring the figure the tape came with, pretty awesome for its time.

This is one old school show they should remake. Good plot and even adults will appreciate it. Too bad I wasn't able to watch all the episodes.

Like Bionic Buck, the thing I remember the most about this show is how early it was shown on WGN. I don't remember too many episodes, because I would always get up just in time to see the closing credits. But I've never forgotten that theme song. I hadn't seen anything from this show in many many many years, and without even realising it I started singing along with the song! Haha!

The Spiral Zone had great old school cel animation (for the majority of the 65 episode series), surprisingly good stories that delved into how society was coping with this global threat, had humor, and was fun to watch. It was definitely IMOP in the top ten of cartoons in the 80's. What killed it was the poor distribution by Tonka of the toy line, and to a lesser extend the times the cartoon was shown. I believe WGN broadcast it at 7:30 AM EST weekdays.

"eddyrussell2000", there is a website that was selling the 65 episode series on DVD. Visit www.spiral-zone.com, and you can contact the website owner to see if he will be making any more sets. It's a pretty cool site!

I got soo freaked out by this show, was in constant fear of 'The ZONE'...

When I was a kid this show came on way too early. Something like 6am on weekdays. I don't know why WGN (Chicago, IL station) played it so early. None of my friends knew about it because they woke up too late. My mom used to get me up around 6am so I got to watch it while eating breakfast. Spiral Zone would have gained more fans had it been aired during the "after-school" line up!

I would love to have this on dvd... hell I would love to watch an old episode but can't find one ANYWHERE
any helpers ??????
