Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
ripfrancharleshotz I remember this show fondly to me Devlin always pointed towards family safety and doing what is right. I didn't care about how something looked set design etc as long as the cartoon made me laugh or pay attention thats all that mattered especially when your a kid growing up during the 70s and 80s.Compared to the stupidity thats out today Spongebob Squarepants Family Guy to name a few. Devlin and other cartoons from the 70s and 80s always had a lesson to be learned. Also there wasn't a lot of violence innuendos foul language drug use etc in those cartoons from the 70s and most 80s era. I would rather sit with my future grandkids watching Devlin then shows like 2 stupid dogs Cat n Dog and other moronic cartoons that are out today.
ray59 It has been over 30 years since I have seen an episode of "Devlin", but back then my 9 year old self loved every minute of it. Like most young boys in the US at that time, I was hooked on the outrageous antics of daredevil/showman Evel Knievel. Everyone had the toys; everyone watched his motorcycle jumps on ABC's Wide World of Sports.Now, when you are 9 years old, you don't really ponder copyright issues all that much....but even back then, I realized "Devlin" was very much "inspired by" Evel's popularity and stunts.It was great to be able to watch a weekly TV show inspired by a real life hero. I've noted other comments complaining about the quality of the animation in this series, but at the time it was never something I noticed...and I am sure I *was* the target demographic. The show was fun and exciting and featured dramatic mysteries with cycle jumping thrown in. What more could a kid of the day ask for? Interestingly, I also recall about this same time a live action series along the lines of "Devlin" (but licensing Knievel's name) was proposed, and a pilot episode filmed. Too bad it didn't sell. I remember seeing the pilot on TV in 1970s - it aired one time, in a summer replacement timeslot occupied each week by a different failed series pilot!
Dale A. Baker Ernie Devlin was revived for the 2004 episode of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law "The Devlin Made Me Do It". Ernie Devlin is sued when a child is hurt duplicating his stunts and Harvey takes the case. Life hasn't been easy for Ernie. Ernie looked like the many accidents suffered by Evel Knievel had taken their toll. Toby Huss, the voice of Cotton Hill and Kahn Souphanousinphone on King of the Hill, voices Devlin and Adult Swim used different voices Sandy and Tod (originally voiced by Mickey Dolenz) also appear in the HB episode. Ernie makes several cameo appearances thereafter in the series riding his motorcycle or girlfriend through scenes and generally crashing into or through something.
Franklin McAlister III I have seen this cartoon many times from the time I was a little kid to now.This show is good because you get to see a motorcycle rider doing ramp stunts and solving problems for other people. The scenes where it shows Ernie Devlin in the air when his bike is doing the jumps what looks like to others as him just going 10 Miles per hour is where they are really showing him doing his stunt in slow motion because real motorcycle stunts like that have those motorcycles going so fast that many people who are on the opposite side of the big top could not focus in time to see the rider going up the ramp. This show has him in slow motion so everyone watching can see how he does his stunts. This show should have all of it's episodes released on DVD box sets like some of the other Hanna-Barbera shows because it is a classic and much better than the shows that have been made in the last 11 to 15 years.
