The Escapist notes that long ago in the 1990s the future of the "Information Super Highway" was previewed by the Guy with Lightning in His Hair. See how Freakazoid correctly foresaw the future of the Web in a neat video salute to TV animation past. (Thanks to Keeper over on FB for pointing this out.)

Brilliant! How did you guys came up with the idea that nothing good could come from downloading all the internet into your head? (I want to assume Dexter had the safe search on before the accient)
We never thought that deeply. It's just the way it worked out.
The Escapist made the connection and did a good job of juxtaposing the lofty ideas of the era with the reality of Freakazoid.
Well, the video is so interesting, I decided to blog about it as well.
Such a great series. Perhaps the Monty Python of animation. Do you think Adult Swim could be interested in reviving the cult hit that IGN ranked as the 53rd best animated series of all time (http://tv.ign.com/top-100-animated-tv-series/53.html)?
I can't see Adult Swim being all that interested.
Thanks for the kind words, Rafas. Let me know when you post and I'll link it.
They would be crazy not to! Everybody knows that Freakazoid is famous in a number of State institutions!
Hope one day Freakazoid! finds his way back to TV. Or comics. Or youtube. Or any media. Or some forgotten script is leaked... In the mean time, here's the article: http://ralphdibnytheworld-famouselongatedman.blogspot.mx/2012/10/mistery-of-freak-from-future-from-past.html
Good article, Rafa.
I tried to leave a comment but your robot test mulishly refused to let me in.
Best of luck with all things enlongated.
