rob morrisonlazer tag academy is needlessly complicated written by geoffrey on 11/20/07
whenever i find myself scratching my head during the intro to a saturday morning cartoon, like i did with hammerman, i know it’s not a good sign. can’t this show just take place in the future? or if jamie does have to travel to the 1980’s, couldn’t she take on the villain without the help of her seemingly useless 80’s relatives? and the villain is actually related to jamie? fuck this. i’m watching thundercats.
also worth noting: this was made when laser tag wasn’t a place you’d go to on occassion, but rather, a toy you begged your parents for. my friend had lazer tag, and apparently it never worked, in the present or the future.

You’re right. This is really, really confusing. Also, it’s the “Yule love it!” guy from Scrooged. He just did an actual NBC Christmas promo. I heard it!

Also…we’ve got it on their last name. It’s Jerron. Fine. It’s not a great last name for a character family. Best not to lean on it so much. I think their last name is said 14 times more than the word “Lazer” in this.

It’s very strange: watching this as an adult, I find it quite confusing for a kids’ show. But, when I used to watch it as a kid I remember making perfect sense of it all! In fact, I really loved it. Plus, dubbed in my language, Greek, the voice of the narrator was way cooler than the original voice.
