I only discovered Gargoyles this past summer (first on Disney, later on Toon Disney) and I was immediately hooked! The characters and stories were intelligent and in-depth, and such a refreshing change from most cartoons nowadays.

I still have a hard time watching some of the episodes,(especially the ones that take place in medieval Scotland). I often find myself saying "if only!".. I know these are fictional characters, but I have come to care about them, and it's hard to see them screw up.

You also asked us to share our comments about the show, so I must say I loved that line by Xanatos when the Gargoyles are captured and bound to the coyote carving with a tray of acid above their heads and he says something like; "this is my first real stab at cliche villany, how am I doing?" That line was so over the top and yet so realistic it was great.

Furthermore the episode where Vinnie (?) spends the whole show pursuing the Gargoyles with a giant cannon while they fight for their lives and he finally shoots Goliath with a giant cream pie was unexpected and hilarious.

That is another thing I like about the show. Although tragic things happened, and could not be undone, these were intermixed with classic moments of comedy.
