This show is a good show for kids to watch.

The Rambo cartoon made by Ruby-Spears in 1986 is a good show. With the way the Coloniel comes and asks Rambo for help it is based more on the events of the third and final Rambo Movie because in that movie Rambo is asked to help with a problem that an enemy is causing. With the way this show has Rambo going around to different areas of the world it has the ability to show children what different landmarks in other countries look like. Plus it teaches that Good wins over Evil because the evil General Warhawk gets defeated every time he tries to take over something in another country! I am glad to find out from the website Tvshowsondvd.com that this June there will be 2 DVDs of this show coming out that have 11 episodes on each disk! I have to say that it is good that this show is going to be available for the next generation to see.
