^ Yeah, if you like Disney Afternoon and BTAS, you should enjoy it.

The main characters fail to really develop, especially the younger gargoyles, in the current time. Brooklyn only steps up to leadership when forced to, Lexington is obsessed with getting revenge on The Pack, and Broadway still struggles to tell the different between the real world & entertainment.
The story became a messy paradox when they reached Avalon, which made no sense at all. The second half of season 2 dragged the series out, by introducing Oberon's children, one per episode, in a very poor attempt at world building.
Gargoyles would be best described as a learning exercise for the creators, which failed in many ways.

I don’t disagree with this (I actually remember thinking a lot of this when watching through the DVDs) other than I’d argue that the TNG connections have a lot to do with it being as overrated as it is. The Gathering is such a Trekkie thing.
It’s a fun show with good animation/voice acting and ambition that doesn’t always pan out.
I rank it behind the original 6 Disney Afternoon shows (Gummi Bears - Goof Troop) but it was the last good one, IMHO. I have no memory of the other DA shows.
