In a series that had a short run during the late 80's, Captain Power and his friends faced dim-witted robots, flying machine-men with the ability to turn humans into digital information, and an evil overlord (a cross between the borg and a pasty faced techno geek). Each episode mixed fast-paced, cyber-hokum with a blend of computer animation and live action, the result being a program that was quite limited in various areas (such as suspense) but still fun to watch. Very tongue in cheek.
