Jacky shan being the biggest for me, found almost all episodes and binged in a few days. I realized the show is actually very formulaic. Bad guys want to collect a number of artifacts, the good guys tries to collect them all before the bad guys and succeeded but then the bad guys get all the artifacts in the end and the good guys have to stop them. This was plot for season 1,3,4,5,6 and with 2 having the most episode but are all filler. I also watche 50 Code Lyoko but got bored, there almost 100 episodes

Obviously those shows weren't meant to be binged but even then they are repetitive, however with jacky shan i have nostalgia and its still special to me

Really? I mean I know they did that in the 80's but this was a wild bet in 1983 when it aired...

The Mattel company released the first wave of the Masters of the Universe toyline in 1982. After the Federal Communications Commission relaxed its ban on toy-based children's programming, Mattel decided to commission a cartoon to promote their toyline.

Holy shit. I was such a dopey kid.
