As someone who grew up on Chip'n'Dale Rescue Rangers, I really get tired of hearing professional reviews that say things like "the plot lines are too far fetched." It's a cartoon. In the grand tradition of early '90s cartoons, the show is abound with pop culture references that make it even more fun to watch as an adult. Sure the show is silly, far fetched, and seemingly without a definite purpose. However, for the young at heart and for those of us who like to be silly on occasion, it's a fun show. My favorite episodes include Kiwi's Big Adventure (where the Rangers try to get their plane back from some crazy Kiwis who believe it holds the key to flight and refer to it as "the really great flying god"), Ghost of a Chance (in which the Rangers go to the Tower of London to thwart Fat Cat's attempts to gain the crown jewels and encounter one of Monterey Jack's ghost relatives), and my all-time favorite A Case of Stage Blight (in which the Rangers meet an alligator living in the sewers beneath an opera house with theatrical aspirations, in the tradition of The Phantom of the Opera).
