If your childhood did not include watching The Dream Stone.
You've been deprived.

After watching the final instalment of the LOTR trilogy last night - i did not choose this, i was just in the same room and too lazy to complain or leave - it became all the more clear that actors truly believe if they deepen their voices and whisper in a grumbly tone they will come across as serious.
Like Christian Bale in Batman.
Why can't he stop doing that voice now?
Does he truly believe he's Bruce Wayne's alter ego?
Perhaps.
He does seem to have left the sanity building after all.

Anyhow, this whole voice of Batman theory just does not work.
In my head, they just sound like Zordrak from my beloved Dream Stone.
And i'd rather watch that mighty dragon-like creature over hobbits, any day.
So stop it, actors/actresses of the world.
Only awesome cartoons and Bruce Wayne are allowed to speak in such gravelly, pissed-off tones.
And Abed, of course.
These are the only available DVDs of TDS and all in all you get a total of 6 episodes.
...
Not enough! 
So not enough.
There were four seasons of this magnificent cartoon and they should really be released for all to see.
They are still available on VHS but that's not really any use, now is it?
Until such time of a DVD release, i'll just have to make do with watching the Noops, Urpneys and Argorribles do their thing on YouTube.

Oh, the things i do for a good dose of nostalgia.
