A world inside a head, a world under a bed. Video game addicts and video game inhabitants. Gonzo filmmakers, a hooded fang, three Gadgets for the price of one and a Regina ghetto. Also KISS rocker Gene Simmons’ new brainchild idea, a semi-autobiographical story of his family life.

Cartoon Network took it under its wing for a much longer run.
