Dear Friends,
The Batman: The Brave and the Bold series finale airs at 7 p.m. tonight on Cartoon Network. I’ve seen the episode. It’s awesome.
Without spoiling too much, here are some reasons why:
1) Henry Winkler as Ambush Bug (pictured)
2) Paul Reubens as Bat-Mite
2) It’s written by Paul Dini!
4) More fourth wall-breaking “meta” commentary than a typical episode of Community (or, well, an Ambush Bug comic)
5) It guest stars Aquaman, and science has proven that The Brave and the Bold Aquaman is the best Aquaman.
6) Ted McGinley (yes)
So, yeah. Even if you haven’t watched the series thus far, make a point to watch tonight.
Peace,
Albert

At first I wasn’t to keen on the show it grew on me how much this show was campy at times but how dark it could get. Characters died and there was some subjects beyond that surprised me for show you be campy. It ended up being a really fun show and I got first three season parts. To be honest I was sad watching the end.

Mitefall was such a fully realized sendoff, my 7 year old was misty eyed to find out there wouldn’t be anymore B:BATB.

It was hilarious, and I’m so sad that now it’s gone.

It was amazing I knew it was simple and made for children but I loved it and put it on DVR every week because the take on DC heroes was great the stories simple. So much fun for all ages.

Only saw a couple of episodes with my son recently and didn’t take it too seriously, but I watched this send-off yesterday, and I felt sad at the end. Amazing way to end a series, even though it was too meta for my 3-year-old boy to understand what the heck was happening.
Seriously, how do you explain Ambush Bug to a 3-year-old?

Explaining Ambush Bug to my kids was easy.
Ted McGinley, well, that was a whole other story.
