Couldn't get my pre-3 son into Rescuebots so tried RID. He enjoyed sitting on my lap to watch it before I'd go to work when it was on telly but showed no interest in watching the show outside of that scenario. The only ones he will watch independently are Prime and G1. And I think that shows good taste on his part as they are both superior shows to the new RID.

I felt the second half on the first season was better than the first and so deserved a second season. However unless season 2 really lifts it's game I won't be too disappointed to not see a third.

I think part of the reason is, despite so many of us going 'oh how original - Optimus vs Megatron again...yawn', this show that for the most part doesn't have them just doesn't seem to inspire. Bbee vs Steeljaw just doesn't have the same punch and their battles aren't nearly as epic and as leaders they aren't very inspiring. Who knows though - if they can make the next season good enough it might generate enough of a following for them to make a third after all.
