Josh Kirby... Time Warrior! (1995 - 1996)

A Romanian American science fiction series directed by Ernest Farino, Frank Arnold and Mark Manos.
A boy gets into the middle of an argument between 2 scientists from the future over a world-changing device. He then visits various times and places as the scientists continue their duel.
So cheesy. At least it was cohesively so, unlike Trancers. The plots and characters were a joke and the pacing left much to be desired. What should have been quick was slow and what should have been slow was quick. There were clear fabrications of action scenes, as evidenced by the fact that no human is stupid enough to make the mistakes which caused them. The props and sets were pitiful. It all looked vacant, like there was not enough money to furnish anything appropriately. The boy goes crazy over finding a girls' bike in the second film. Did I mention that the writing, dialogue and acting were terrible? If there were any reason to watch this, it was to see how far special effects have come since 1996. To really get down to the root of the problem, I think this was grossly under-funded. I rate it poor because I watched it all and have seen much worse.
