Battle of the Planets (1978–1980)
Great show, but...
20 August 2003
"Battle of the Planets" was a great animated series. It's classic, but it's been lost throughout the years. As great as it was, I think Americans have butchered it a lot due to the censorship. The original "Science Ninja Team: Gatchaman" was the best. American censorship thought it was too violent that's why they butchered the series, because they thought American kids will be exposed to too much violence. Say, that sounds like every day in LA or NYC. And to cover the holes, they created an ill-fated robot 7-Zark-7, who surprisingly had his cameras everywhere and always knew where the G-Force was and where and when Spectra will attack. And after Ted Turner bought it.......well, it was dead by then. What was the point of changing the characters' names for the third time? Afterall, Americans know how to butcher things.
