I... I honestly don't know. I loved this one as a kid. I was thrilled when I found it on a bootleg DVD. I guess it just lacks something that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'll try, though. It tries a little too hard to be too many things at once? It's neither obviously for boys or for girls. It's got too much cute/girly stuff for many boys, and many girls weren't into the sci-fi space robot thing. It also had to compete with Muppet Babies and Smurfs in the same timeslot in most markets. Just guessing here on the reasons, but that combo of issues probably meant it didn't get the attention it deserved.
