I never saw these that I can recall, but looking at the summary you gave, Bureau of Alien Detectors seems to have been an inferior version of the Men in Black cartoon. That I have seen, and it was very enjoyable.
Ok, Project Geeker, I just noticed that Phineas & Ferb had a character that looked just like him. I'm wondering if Doug Tennaple sued Disney for copyright infringement. 🤔
Oh yes, I do. I remember a lot of these I saw Siegfried and Roy, funny my grand ma was there during that attack... ironically. One of my cousins were apart of the law suits for Sky Dancers. I saw a lot of these at lest 5 of these I watched them a lot and I really like them. I was sorry that it was canceled but would just shrugged and think it's just what happened to cartoons. Thank you for your work.
I was in a toyshop one time and saw that skydancers have returned. i think they now have a safety protocol built into them, so if you release them in a wrong way, they won't launch
I never saw a lot of these cartoons. I was too busy watching Gargoyles, Street Sharks and Beast wars. However I do think that Bureau of Aliens Detectives had potential.
I was a little too old for these shows back then. But the claymation cowboy singing "after these messages, we'll be riiiiight back" will always be a thing that randomly pops in my head from time to time, even to this day. That basic incoming ad warning ran for years! I know there was others, I'd just have to see them again to really remember. It also reminds me of a really obscure, made for tv movie about the book "The Mouse And The Motorcycle" with a clay-mated Ralph S. Mouse.
@DCMarvelMultiverse But that one sucked, and caught heat when it premiered after Roy got attacked by the tiger, as foretold by that Simpsons episode where Springfield legalizes gambling and Mr. Burns opens his own casino.
Haha I had almost the entire Skydancer set! I never got hurt, but they did manage to knock my mom's favourite vase off the fireplace and shatter it into oblivion 😢
Bureau Of Alien Detectors would have caught on like MIB if a live action movie or series was made in the 90s. It was a perfect mix of MIB, CSI and Terminator action with charismatic main leads
I never watched Action Man as a kid but a few years back saw a PS1 game at a retro store titled “Action Man: Operation Extreme” and thought I couldn’t even think of a more generic name 😂
I had an action man for some reason, I just wanted a swimming Barbie. He was definitely a swimming doll with a drill. I still liked him. I also remember playing the demo of the game as well my sister and I collected demo disks for our PS1
Not only do I fondly remember Siegfried & Roy, I have the whole thing on DVD. Yes, it was produced on DVD. I always thought it was a limited series, I mean it did have solid ending to it rather than a cliff hanger.
I think of myself as a bit of a cartoon connoisseur, and I have never heard of Cave Kids. The only Pebbles and Bamm Bamm cartoon I know of is when they're teenagers. Thanks for giving me a new cartoon to check out! 👍
As a Russian, I used to see ads of that cartoon on VHS tapes from Yekaterinburg-Art video distribution company. I have no interest in it whatsoever, I'm good with Tom & Jerry kids and the og Flintstones.
I remember the Siegfried and Roy cartoon being one of my first disappointments in the industry. It was a wonderful cartoon, creative and showed off flavor. Then, after four episodes and a cliffhanger...nothing. I waited for years and even watched Father of the Pride. Man, I still remember that final Sin Demon coming in and me going "They have 4 more sins to go, I can't wait!"
I grew up in the 90s but never saw the show or was aware of the toy, but as soon as I saw the advertisement on this video, I knew I would have played with those as a kid.
Never heard of Cave Kids or Little Mouse before watching this video. I remember the original Richie Rich cartoon but never watched the 90s version. Project Geeker, B.A.D. and Action were definitely something I remember watching back then. I had forgotten about the Siegfried and Roy cartoon. Never watched Sky Dancer but those toy commercials were hard to avoid on tv. Santo Bugito was just one of toons I didn't hate but I didn't like it enough to keep watching.
By the way, MeTV just bringing back classics even Casper old cartoons even Richie Rich shorts will be shown there. The 1990s have ups and downs of entertainment but gotta tell you about Casper live action movie, it was in theaters in October 1995. Great vid, pal.
Seeing a lot of these old cartoons also makes me wonder what happened to old saturday morning live actions shows. I know Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog wasn't renewed since the budget was used on Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, but what about shows like Los Luchadores and Ninja Turtles the Next Mutation? Anybody else remember those?
Well not to date myself but I do remember some of the live action TV shows back in the seventies there was Land of the Lost Jason of Star Command I can't remember if it was a Saturday morning or what but there was also a Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, HR Puffinstuff The Bugaloos the Banana Split show I think these were also Daily ones too like the Electric Company, Zoom. Yeah, I do miss this Saturday morning cartoons from the seventies and eighties. Oops, I probably gave my age away.
Glad to see I wasn't going crazy when you got to the Project Geeker segment, and my immediate thought was, "Man, he sure does sound like Zapp Brannigan."
I remember watching Road Rovers when I was 12 it brilliant it should never been canceled in the first place and my favorite character from the show is Colleen because she knows how to kick some ass. 😀👍🐶
Oh wow! Yeah, we have a handful of leftover titles and Quack Pack is one. Hoping to work them into either the next cartoons video or perhaps into their own with longer segments. Quack Pack isn't the worst show ever created but it's kind of uncomfortable to watch. It just feels .. wrong. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Sigfried and Roy Masters of the Impossible was a 5 episode mini series. I don’t know if there were plans to make it into a regular series, but I distinctly remember taping it on VHS because it was just a mini series and I knew I could tape the whole thing. I remember thinking it was pretty good.
I remember watching "Santo Bugito" and "The Adventures of Hyperman" when they were brand new on TV. I especially loved "The Adventures of Hyperman", although I remember the airing of that show kept getting rescheduled, so I eventually lost track of it. It's good to know that there were other fans.
I was a year away from high school graduation in '96. When you mentioned Duckman my ears perked right up. Those were happy evenings watching Duckman and Night Stand! What a trip down memory lane.
5:21 Ah! Action Man! Honestly, it really is a small world when you start recognizing actors or performers making their debut in One or two Properties in the past! Was definitely a shock to system for me when I realized Luke Skywalker Voiced the Joker. 19:24 see, This is What I’m talking about! We really had no clue how deep the connections go between people behind the scenes.
Dang The Review, I must have been busy in 1996 as I don't remember many of these. I was 14/15 that year, so most of these were probably "not cool enough" for me at that point, but I think a cartoon about Siegfried & Roy would have been something me and my friends would make fun of for hours.
Australian here! Action Man, Bureau of Alien Detectors and Santo Bugito all aired down here, and I personally enjoyed all of them. Never got Sky Dancers as far as I know, but we did get the spin-off series Dragonflyz, which might have been a 95 or 97 show and probably will be on your list for the respective year.
1. Never heard of it. 2. Didn't know that was a 90s show. 3. Did that even air in the US? 4. Never heard of it. 5. I remember the toys and the damage, I'm not surprised there was a show. 6. I apparently somehow completely missed this, and I don't know how. 7. I've actually seen this one. The only thing I remember is I had recently learned some cool bug facts and I got mad at the scientific inaccuracy of the dragonfly character being able to walk. (Dragonflies can't actually walk, their legs aren't made for it) 8. Holy crap, memory unlocked? I can't remember the show, but the names are weirdly familiar. Maybe I saw ads for it? 9. Never heard of it. 10. Never heard of it.
My god, you've unlocked a memory of seeing bits of that Siegfried and Roy cartoon. I would have been about 16, so I'm sure I laughed my ass off at the sheer ridiculousness of the concept.
I remembered watching Santo Bugito back in the 90s when I was a kid it's funny and a great misadventures shows. I still wished the whole series is finally on DVD at last so I relived my childhood memories like Aaah Real Monsters.
Gosh it's been like 30 years but I do remember "Cave Kids." 1996 was around the time that I became acutely aware of a thing called "quality," with something like "Animaniacs" or "Tiny Toons" compared to, well, "Cave Kids."
I would say that Santa Bugito getting shifted around so much means that they had little faith in it. If shift it too much, the kids who WOULD have enjoyed it will miss it because they weren't up in time or at home when it played, while the kids who had the show in place of their favorites would resent it because it's not what they woke up/stayed home to see. I'll be honest, I think I've only seen ads for three of these series (Cave Kids, Richie Rich and B.A.D.), but never saw a single episode of any of them.
I was starting to think Santo Bugito was some Candle Cove-like fever dream that only I knew of. So glad to see it covered here! I remember many of the shows on this list, and I saw a few of them too. But Santo Bugito has a weird special place in my heart. I guess at the time I loved Rocko's Modern Life and so this would be similar enough for me to enjoy in terms of weirdness.
Personally, I never had that problem with the 'Skydancers' -toys. (I usually covered my face when I launched them.) But I was always frustrated that I could never catch them the way the girl in the ad did. XD And as for the cartoon; I heard there was a show based on it, but I never saw it. XD
I was wondering about that Siegfried and Roy cartoon, but hearing and seeing that introduction reminded me that the cartoon DID exist - I never seen the series, but I had a whole bunch of recorded episodes of the DiC Sailor Moon dub that aired on my FOX channel and that was one of the commercials they played!
I don't think I saw any of these (for the first time) since I was aging out it seems. But I *do* want to say, my parents were desperate to find me books to read at age 3+ in the mid-80s and we ended up having a subscription to the Serendipity books. I had no idea they made an animation based on them at all, now I have to look them up. I swear I never met anyone else that even heard of this book series.
To me, "CAVE KIDS" should've been from the 1960's comic book series so that we could've seen more of their friends. That would have been more interesting. Plus, I know of another family friendly stone age anime series called "KUM KUM", dubbed in English by Paramount in 1975. I hope it comes out on Blu-Ray/DVD someday.
I have never seen any of those shows. I knew of Sky Dancers, but none of the others. However, I was 17 in 1996, so I either wasn’t home or sleeping-in when many of them aired. The animated shows I remember watching in 2996 were Batman the Animated Series. X-Men, The Tick and The Simpsons
I remember Action Man, Skydancers, and Santo Bugito being on YTV in Canada, but I was older and didn't really watch them. I also vaguely remember Little Mouse on the Prairie (I had a full collection of all the Stephen Cosgrove books), but I didn't watch it either
The only cartoon from the list that I can remember was Sky Dancers, the school kids from there were look-alikes of the Planeteers and I wonder if the artists were the same ones that brought us Captain Planet...
I've still yet to watch Fargo... Started watching it a few times and I managed to never get more than 20 minutes into it. I really need to site down and force myself to view it sometime.
I do remember the Siegfried and Roy cartoon. Honestly, as kid...I kind of liked it. It did have a lot of dark world tones (as was typical of a 90's cartoon,) but it was still a solid flick from what I remember. Because it had a lot of fantasy and real mythic characters, (i.e. Grendel, Midas, Zeus, etc.,) it was able to catch my imagination as a kid. I even used their Tavern scene for a RPG setting once. Also the Demons scarred the hell out of me so they must have done something right.
I remembered The Adventure of Hyperman, it used to be on channel 4 back in the 90's when I was very young, but sadly I've never seen the series again, I wished it's finally release on to complete DVD at last or released the episodes on UA-cam.
I remember Singfreid and Roy and was looking forward to it so much. I had a skydancer but never watched the cartoon, but I do remember watching Dragonflyz. As for the others I never heard of them till now.
I don't remember "Sky Dancers," but I do remember the "boys" version of the show, "Dragonflyz." Like how Mighty Max was a boys version of Polly Pocket, Dragonflyz had terrifying monsters as the baddies and super macho winged knights as the good guys. I only remember watching two episodes of that show.

AND BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES!
@@samtyler2365 only Batman The Animated Series wasn't a failure like the rest of these.
Our Sky Dancers flew right into ceiling fans. Multiple times.
Mine had a heat seeking missile for my face 😂
Reminds me of the GIF that’s from a Christmas video where a little girl shoots hers into the fire
I wanted one of those toys so bad as a kid.
the string broke after about 60 pulls
I was in a toyshop one time and saw that skydancers have returned. i think they now have a safety protocol built into them, so if you release them in a wrong way, they won't launch
I never saw a lot of these cartoons. I was too busy watching Gargoyles, Street Sharks and Beast wars. However I do think that Bureau of Aliens Detectives had potential.
Well that’s why MIB went so well.
Also the acronym is B.A.D 😂
@@rosehearttoxic1691 Don't forget Roswell, that series had some very thought-provoking storylines
Playing with Sky Dancers and Dragon Flyz in the 90s were the most chaotic occurrances in my home as a child next to my father's domestic violence
You could have used those toys as weapons against your father. I'm just saying.
Well that escalated quickly. 😳
I miss 90s cartoons, I really do.
Same here 90 stuff had the best animation
Me too
1996 introduced two ground-breaking computer animated series Beast Wars: Transformers and ReBoot.
True, but both of those lasted way more than one season
I thought ReBoot came on in 1994.
I thought this was about disappointing series. Cause I remember loving reboot.
ReBoot premiered in Canada in 1991. The USA started showing ReBoot in 1994.
@@loldotsarefun not meant to imply that ReBoot was boring, just was thinking about it during this video and I thought it had been released that year.
I was a little too old for these shows back then.

It also reminds me of a really obscure, made for tv movie about the book "The Mouse And The Motorcycle" with a clay-mated Ralph S. Mouse.
I always laughed when his horse fell on him and then winked at the camera.
So many years later and i still remember this bit@@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812
You know why we remember skydancers? It’s because pain is the best teacher lmao
😆
My cousin played with one and my face got b*** slapped
Nature's spanking
That and there was a boy's version of it called Dragon Flyz. They had the same spin flying gimmick.
Siegfried and Roy as Cartoon?
Are u SH%&/ing me? Thats amazing!!!!
They had two cartoons. The other was Father of the Pride on NBC during primetime in 04.
@DCMarvelMultiverse But that one sucked, and caught heat when it premiered after Roy got attacked by the tiger, as foretold by that Simpsons episode where Springfield legalizes gambling and Mr. Burns opens his own casino.
Haha I had almost the entire Skydancer set! I never got hurt, but they did manage to knock my mom's favourite vase off the fireplace and shatter it into oblivion 😢
Sounds like a Brady Bunch episode lol
Hey how did you like the updated look of the video?
@@TheReviewStudios Loved it! Very flash!
Yes those toys where meant to do that 😁
Bureau Of Alien Detectors would have caught on like MIB if a live action movie or series was made in the 90s. It was a perfect mix of MIB, CSI and Terminator action with charismatic main leads
I never watched Action Man as a kid but a few years back saw a PS1 game at a retro store titled “Action Man: Operation Extreme” and thought I couldn’t even think of a more generic name 😂

I own that game 😂
Nice
@@scottdecowski4913 I don’t know whether to high-five you or offer you emotional support 😆
I had an action man for some reason, I just wanted a swimming Barbie. He was definitely a swimming doll with a drill. I still liked him. I also remember playing the demo of the game as well my sister and I collected demo disks for our PS1
I thought Project Geeker was a pipe dream! I loved that show!
I remember when geeker got sick and his cells got everyone else sick as well. Such a trip of a series.
@@zerokura it was such a great show. I totally remember that now
Same
Action Man, the greatest hero of the mall! :P I remember the slogan from the toy ads. lol
ACTION MAN!!!
Not only do I fondly remember Siegfried & Roy, I have the whole thing on DVD. Yes, it was produced on DVD. I always thought it was a limited series, I mean it did have solid ending to it rather than a cliff hanger.
The Voiceover guy from Project Geeker makes it sound like a joke show from Futurama.
The voiceover guy is also Billy West, that's why.
I think of myself as a bit of a cartoon connoisseur, and I have never heard of Cave Kids. The only Pebbles and Bamm Bamm cartoon I know of is when they're teenagers. Thanks for giving me a new cartoon to check out! 👍
Omg yes I was thinking that myself 😂
As a Russian, I used to see ads of that cartoon on VHS tapes from Yekaterinburg-Art video distribution company. I have no interest in it whatsoever, I'm good with Tom & Jerry kids and the og Flintstones.
That thumbnail though. I totally forgot they made another Pebbles and Bam Bam cartoon 😂
I'm guessing the Siegfried and roy show got cancelled because they didn't want to pay royalties to the duo.
Nah i think it is because one of them got mauled by on of their "pets"
@@casperbosman1896 that happened years later and is LITERALLY SAID in this video. Pay attention.
I remember Siegfried and Roy just being a mini
90s were good times especially the music and fashion ❤😊. I was a 90s kids. ❤.
Vaguely remember catching a few off these on Cartoon Network and other channels in the UK during the dreaded 6Am deadzone
I surprised, that Little Mouse on the Prairie was failure, I really loved this cartoon as the kid. My younger sister also loved it a lot.
Santo Buggito was great, I watched that show all the time and wondered where it went.. now I know :s
I remember the Siegfried and Roy cartoon being one of my first disappointments in the industry. It was a wonderful cartoon, creative and showed off flavor. Then, after four episodes and a cliffhanger...nothing. I waited for years and even watched Father of the Pride. Man, I still remember that final Sin Demon coming in and me going "They have 4 more sins to go, I can't wait!"
Oh, I loved Cave Kids, nobody else seems to remember it. Sky Dancers was another one I remember vividly, it was quite good from what I remember.
Sky dancers was one of those toys as a boy that you didn't care it was meant for girls when you got a hold of one you'd play with it anyway.
I grew up in the 90s but never saw the show or was aware of the toy, but as soon as I saw the advertisement on this video, I knew I would have played with those as a kid.
I think there was a boys version too, like Polly Pocket and Mighty Max. But I could be wrong.
@@Randomark3087 I remember some dragon style ones for boys Sky Dancers were way more popular so I could get my hands on them more often.
those kind of toys were awesome. had one that was a helicopter and played with it until the string broke.
Yeah I had the dragon riders version
Never heard of Cave Kids or Little Mouse before watching this video. I remember the original Richie Rich cartoon but never watched the 90s version. Project Geeker, B.A.D. and Action were definitely something I remember watching back then. I had forgotten about the Siegfried and Roy cartoon. Never watched Sky Dancer but those toy commercials were hard to avoid on tv. Santo Bugito was just one of toons I didn't hate but I didn't like it enough to keep watching.

My most failed of 96 was Quack Pack. Mainly remember it for the theme song being sung by Eddie Money

A+ video!
LOVE IT! They look like awesome cartoons!
We had skydancers called Dragon Flies - I remember peeling the stickers off and chewing on the wings of them. They still flew.
Honestly, Project Geeker is the only one I remember being genuinely upset that there was no continuation of it.

How appropriate. Santo Bugito got replaced by Timon and Pumbaa, two notorious bug-eaters.
I for one do not recall any of those rotten cartoons.
And for that, I am thankful. 😅
I remember catching Santo Bugito once when I was on a trip to Mexico when I was staying in Laredo with family. I'd completely forgotten about that.
I thought Santo Bugito was a childhood fever dream! I remember loving it but no one ever talks about it!
To me, "CAVE KIDS" should've been from the 1960's comic book series so that we could've seen more of their friends. That would have been more interesting. Plus, I know of another family friendly stone age anime series called "KUM KUM", dubbed in English by Paramount in 1975. I hope it comes out on Blu-Ray/DVD someday.
I remember "Santo Bugito". It ran in the UK as part of ITV's Saturday morning lineup.
Nice!
I have never seen any of those shows. I knew of Sky Dancers, but none of the others. However, I was 17 in 1996, so I either wasn’t home or sleeping-in when many of them aired. The animated shows I remember watching in 2996 were Batman the Animated Series. X-Men, The Tick and The Simpsons
Lol you said 2996.
Uh, yeah, I’m a time traveler who came to the year 2024 just to comment on a UA-cam video!
I forgot about duck man. I loved watching that show. I miss the 90s cartoons.
I remember Richie Rich. There was a real Harvey Comics revival in the 90s for some reason.
I remember Action Man, Skydancers, and Santo Bugito being on YTV in Canada, but I was older and didn't really watch them. I also vaguely remember Little Mouse on the Prairie (I had a full collection of all the Stephen Cosgrove books), but I didn't watch it either
😢 I miss all of those cartoons
B.A.D. Is probably the closest we will ever get to XCOM cartoon.
Sky dancers were really fast so I'm not surprised they were recalled lol
They would smash your fingers up if not careful for sure.
action man was awesome and his finale wasn't like a cliffhanger
Don't remember any of these. And my daughter was 5 in 1996. We were too busy watching Ninja Turtles,Talespin, and Goof Troop.
Sigfried and Roy had TWO cartoons? That's two too many.
I think I have one of those lost Hyperman videos. Gonna have to go through some old tapes.
The only cartoon from the list that I can remember was Sky Dancers, the school kids from there were look-alikes of the Planeteers and I wonder if the artists were the same ones that brought us Captain Planet...
Strangely, I'd never seen any of these shows. I vaguely remember Action Man.
I remember Sky Dancers and Dragon Flyz. I knew they were the same thing but I didn't care.
I totally remember Action Man and I liked that series a lot. I wish it had lasted longer.
as kid in the 80's i used watch richie rich cartoon. back then i never knew that they had a richie rich comic book until i got much older
I've still yet to watch Fargo...
Started watching it a few times and I managed to never get more than 20 minutes into it.
I really need to site down and force myself to view it sometime.
Shockly i never saw any of these 96 lineup
Good video btw
I do remember the Siegfried and Roy cartoon. Honestly, as kid...I kind of liked it. It did have a lot of dark world tones (as was typical of a 90's cartoon,) but it was still a solid flick from what I remember. Because it had a lot of fantasy and real mythic characters, (i.e. Grendel, Midas, Zeus, etc.,) it was able to catch my imagination as a kid. I even used their Tavern scene for a RPG setting once. Also the Demons scarred the hell out of me so they must have done something right.
I don’t remember any of these. I must’ve aged out of cartoons by this time.
I remembered The Adventure of Hyperman, it used to be on channel 4 back in the 90's when I was very young, but sadly I've never seen the series again, I wished it's finally release on to complete DVD at last or released the episodes on UA-cam.
Remember Swat Kats? It was really good, but it was only around for a season.
Sheesh, I was unaware of any of these, and I watched Fox Kids a lot...
I remember Singfreid and Roy and was looking forward to it so much. I had a skydancer but never watched the cartoon, but I do remember watching Dragonflyz. As for the others I never heard of them till now.
I don't remember "Sky Dancers," but I do remember the "boys" version of the show, "Dragonflyz." Like how Mighty Max was a boys version of Polly Pocket, Dragonflyz had terrifying monsters as the baddies and super macho winged knights as the good guys. I only remember watching two episodes of that show.
