When it comes to the horde of *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* clones, *Road Rovers* was a very unique but decent show. I never grew up watching it, but when I learned it was made by the creator of *Animaniacs*, Tom Ruegger, it got me intrigued. I really like the concept of humanoid dog heroes, but when I first watched it on Apple TV as an adult, I honestly wished it could have been better in execution. Personally, it felt slightly mediocre and clichéd to me, because there are a ton of flaws in the show. Most of the humor and gags were average, cheap and overused too much, the writing and logic felt like it was on auto-pilot, almost all plotlines and arcs in each episode felt very wasteful or underdeveloped, Muzzle was way too overpowering like he's a mixture of Cujo and the star power-up from Super Mario, and the Rovers themselves often feel and act one dimensional, stereotypical, and don't have much or any complex or emotional depth. For example, Blitz is basically an Arnold Schwarzenegger stereotype, as well as a narcissistic and cowardly dumb jock. Even though I just find him to be very irritating, I also felt very sorry for him for being unfairly hated so much, even times where he did nothing to deserve so much spite. Colleen, however, has to be probably one of the best characters in the show, because she personally reminds me a lot of Bayonetta. I can understand why *Road Rovers* has a following, but I find the show pretty underwhelming despite being really decent. Not to mention, this show came at a very, **VERY** late time when animation started appealing towards more mature audiences like *The Prince of Egypt* and *Gargoyles*. So in conclusion, *Road Rovers* is neither bad nor good, it's just... slightly decent and I guess it has gained the audience it deserved.
