I once saw an article in Time or Newsweek about Gargoyles. The article
concerned the popularity of Gargoyles. It said that Gargoyles merchandise
are really hot, and the show is "extraordinarily popular," I think these
are the words. Anyways, it showed a Gargoyles mug and I was suprised that
Gargoyles were so popular, since I haven't heard anyone at school or in
television talk about it much, unlike, say, Power Rangers(a horrible show).
Was it ever that popular since I heard in the comment room that Gargoyle
merchandise isn't so hot in the market.

Damn good question. Most people reading this won't like the answer, but NO,
Gargoyles were never THAT popular. We had midling success, and a core group
of extremely loyal followers, but it never made the impact that Power Rangers
made. Some merchandise did well. Some of it died. Our ratings started out
promising. Moved on to respectable. Moved to disappointing and ended up
being lousy. I wish it weren't so, and there were tons of mitigating
factors. But they don't alter the facts.
