I was like your friend when I was a kid; I preferred the Snorks to the Smurfs. I think it was because the Snorks had technology while the Smurfs had magic, and I held a strong bias for science fiction over fantasy as a kid. It's funny what all can be important to a child. Allegiances to fictional races of tiny crayon-colored people were as important as political affiliations.
