A cartoon based on a daffy, doofy time-travel comedy for kids, yeah that works. Go to Full Review Graeme McMillan The Hollywood Reporter 05/28/2019

DJ W @RT92543869 09/07/2023 It's okay. Occasionally funny, and nice to spend 20 minutes or so with the hysterical duo. Animation isn't very good, and the show is pretty boring. See more Read all reviews
