I remember the red hand gang very well,another classic adventure, like ribik the amazing cube,this is also a missing link that lot of people don't know about,WOW! seems like i'm the only one knows what this is all about ,well anyway it's about these kids solving mysteries and crime but you have to watch every episode ,every once a week which it was on saturday mournings on NBC-tv,and every week they show the continuation of this show,it's like a movie but it's on for 30 minutes and you have to watch it every saturday to know what's gonna happen next,but it was on the air for one year,i did'nt think the critics was feeling this show back then,but i was because i did'nt miss a single episode and i pretty much understand it all but it been so long since i watched it, i do'nt know if was released or not,but if retro junk finds it before i do,let everyone know the red hand gang intro,It might be someone on the show you might know.

I agree. That has got to be the worst theme show song I ever heard. It is like they couldn't find any words to come up with so they just sang lalalalalalala......
