"Gargoyles" is very different from any of the other Disney Afternoon shows-- in fact, it's very different from anything in the Disney canon. It's a mashup of police drama, science fiction, action, and fantasy genres into one show. It's not particularly comedic. That said, I would recommend it to anyone, it's an incredible show. I think it's something you can enjoy as an adult without nostalgia. It's highly mature and very literate, more so than any modern action blockbuster. But it's very different from "TailSpin," "Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers," "Duck Tales," etc.
I would recommend watching at least an episode of the shoJw on Disney's official YouTube channel (username: disneyshows) where they have all the episodes of "Gargoyles." I say start at the beginning with "Awakening, Part One," and if you like that, maybe finish out all parts of "Awakening" (there are five). If you like it then, you'll know.
And last I checked on Amazon you can buy Season 1 and Season 2, Vol. 1 for just under twenty dollars. The MSRP is only $23.99, so should you decide to make the purchase, you should be able to pick it up somewhere without breaking the bank.
Thank you very much for the advice and information. I've always thought it looked interesting and even have volume 1 of the Clan Building TPB but hadn't seen it. I also didn't know Disney had a You Tube page. I ended up ordering TaleSpin 3 and Gargoyles Season 2, Vol. 3. While I probably could have gotten them cheaper I got free shipping and the Disney guarantee if something goes wrong in shipping.
Now I need to find season 1 and Season 2.1 at decent prices.
Their is currently only one copy of Gargoyles 2.2 on the Disney Ebay page if anyone needs one. They've sold through 99 copies very quickly.
Strike that, they're now sold out on there.
