Following in the strain of children-based adventure shows (eg. Round The Twist, The Wayne Manifesto, and *shudder* Lift-Off) The Crash Zone is a show with the "edge" of having teens teamed with computers and a wacky computer-based entity (didn't see that one coming)
But seriously, for a show that, on the surface, seemed childish and stupid, it's hard not to like characters with a real human attitude, as compared with Lift-Off, a show whose cast needed only to speak Grade 2 English to get in (forgive me, i just really hate that show)
And also, does anyone see the resemblence between Nikolai Nikolaeff and Nate Richert (Harvey from "Sabrina The Teenage Witch")? It's damn scary.
