Cyber nerd Dexter Douglas surfs the web one fateful night, gets swept into a digital techno-electro smash-up that bites him in the gigabytes and – ZAP! – goes from geek to freak. To Freakazoid!, that is, a smart- mouthing, butt-kicking, mega-voltage superhero with things to do (unless there’s something really good on TV). Things like battle super baddies Cave Guy and the Lobe, save the world from zany ETs, ditch his tubby self-appointed sidekick Fanboy, snuggle up with girlfriend Step (who disses Dexter but is looney-swooney for Freakazoid) and be home in time to scarf down Mom’s sloppy joes. All 14 freakin’ funny Season One shows from Emmy® Award-winning series are here – enough to keep you laughing every day of the freak!

“Men In Trees” Alternate Finale Mistakenly Posted on ABC.com June 23, 2008 2:26 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in DVD, Men in Trees, News, Television.4 comments
When ABC canceled Men In Trees, it was reported at the time that the network had filmed two endings: one in case the show was renewed and another in the case of its cancellation. Being that the show was canceled, the correct ending aired during its season finale. However, it turns out that for a short period of time (it’s since been corrected) the network aired the alternate cliffhanger ending online at ABC.com. The alternate ending is expected to appear on the DVD.
