This cartoon aired every Sunday at 11:00am EST on USA Network (cable channel) as part of their 'Cartoon Express'. HL:TAS is set about 800 years beyond a 'holocaust' in yet-another-HL-universe and features yet-another-MacLeod - this one is about 15ish and is named Quenten - and Ramirez (not our Ramirez but he sounds a lot like him) who is his mentor. Since this cartoon is aimed at adolescents, there are the common cartoon elements, a younger (foster) pesky sister, a fuzzy pet of an un-identifiable species, and imposing Villain with an odd looking sidekick. Kortan (the villain) is an evil Immortal who wants to rule the planet and make everyone do things his way and suffer greatly doing it. If you are serious about Highlander you should probably avoid this series.
