Mad Jack the Pirate

Bill Kopp sure must have been grateful to have an influence like "Savage" Steve Holland after working with him on "EEK! The Cat". And it showed in this lol hilarious series that didn't get much of a fair shake. But then, it was a *FoxKids* show. (And we all know well that network's rep for maintaining quality programming, don't we, kids?) I've got a portion of one ep taped, one of the best of the bunch. It's the one where he has to appease a living idol, to enter a treasure-filled cave, by going on a quest for ten items, similar to the legend of Hercules' 12 tasks. This series definitely deserves a DVD release (bootleg or otherwise!).

My mom and I both have fond memories of this show. My favorite moment was in the commershal hubs when Jack goes to put his sword back in it's scabbard and accidently puts it through his body instead. Snuck then informs him of this "Um, sir, I believe you just put your sword through your body" and Jack gives a resounding "What?!" and then begins to stumble over his own feet like he's dying. We also got a kick out of Jack's arch nemisis Angus Dagnabbit who died and became a ghost in one episode and then came back, alive again, in another! "Aye, I got better". A hilarious show, definitly deserves a DVD release.

The one episode I saw of this was hilarious. It had Mad Jack stranded on a desert island, and he was dancing with a cactus or something. It was really weird and funny.
