Everyone I know grew up loving this show. I must be the only person who is annoyed as hell by it.
remember the geico commercial with the speed racers not too long ago?
Trixie: The Bridge is out!
Speed Racer: The Bridge is out?
Trixie: yeah, but don't worry...I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.
Speed Racer: -sound and a shocked face-

I don't remember this show, but for those who do, I think the animation looks to "American" and too modern. Trixie went from being a dark-haired girl to being a blond? Wha?
It's like they totally redid the whole show and just left the old names attached.
:( :?

The next generation, now set up as a team. What really surprised me is that Speed has a kid! I'm going to love how they explain ChimChim, though.
