god i loved this show when i was a kid, i remember getting up saturday mornings to watch it when it was first on and then as the series progressed i stopped watching for whatever reason (probably around the fourth season). great show. apparently disney holds the rights to the marvel cartoon adaptations and has no intent on releasing the show on dvd (which i had hoped for for a long time now) but it's supposed to be released to region 2 sometime this year.
anyway, i've been revisting the show on youtube lately. some of the dialogue is cheesy as hell, but the anti-hate message is a great one and kids shows just aren't made like this anymore.

wolverine is easily my favorite x man, and i've always thought apocalypse was sweet, what with his multiple teleportation/transformation powers and immortality.

Great show indeed. The one with the Irish guy who can change reality at will (forget his name) still strikes me as one of the strangest kids cartoons I have ever seen.

didn't even think to look on youtube for the episodes...too bad they won't put it out on DVD...that's lame.

Was a big fan of the comic and the cartoon screwed everything up especially the Dark Phoneix stuff(not as bad as X Men 3 though)...I still watched every episode. The Spiderman one too.

I really loved this show. Some things that stick out for me:

The Phoenix/Dark Phoenix sagas. Both pure win.
The episodes involving a mutant plague in which Bishop went back to stop it, only to fuck up Cable's future. Can't really remember much else but I know Apocalypse was behind it.
Apocalypse being a motherfuckingly powerful sonofabitch. He gave me the creeps. Same with Mr. Sinister.
Beast, Gambit, Wolverine and Magneto's awesomeness.

You mean they didn't adhere to the comic?

i should've done this earlier but here's part of "night of the sentinels". i'm pretty sure this guy has a good amount of the show uploaded, and when his videos end i'm sure you can find someone else who's videos will continue on with the seasons

The Hellfire Club was in the cartoon. They were just called the Inner Circle.
