Wolf's Hungry and Looking For Roseanne
Antonia Zerbisias, Toronto Star
Captain Frantic: Prisoner of Gravity is not fun for the whole nuclear family. It's strictly for sci-fi and comic book freaks.
The new half-hour series debuted Monday night on Channel 19 at 7:30. It stars former Frantic Rick Green as Commander Rick, trapped on a communications satellite high above the earth.
The show is indescribable. Weird camera effects, computer animation, clips from Buck Rogers and Batman, interviews with comic book artists and sci-fi writers, off-beat editing and frenetic host - all choreographed to a hard driving hi-tech rock. Zowee.
There are 25 more like this. How will they ever keep it up?
