{{ | {{quote2|The bible was written by Bruce and Reed Shelly. Reading it, you could tell that they were still struggling to get a handle on the show.

[...] There was little indication about the kinds of adventures our heroes would have, and a lot of unanswered questions about how we would incorporate elements of the game. I had no clue how to solve those problem and didn’t see how that show was going to work at all! But DIC had an order for 52 episodes and deadlines were looming. We had to make some decisions fast or fall behind schedule, which would be a disaster.
