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 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.
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
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
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.
@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 😢
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.
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.
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.
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
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 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 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.
Here it is! Now I know why Geeker was cancelled. Going back I was amazed at how many familiar voices there were. The writing on this show was great, with some of the funniest catchphrases of the time. Thanks for covering it!
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 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.
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!
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. 😀👍🐶
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!
The first Casper live action movie was released in 1995, not 1993. Universal Music reused the ballroom set for the Backstreet Boys' music video named "Backstreet's Back!"
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.
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.
Strange you didn't mention Siegfried and Roy's other cartoon, Father Of The Pride, an adult CGI cartoon from the early 2000's by Dreamworks. Had John Goodman in it and Donkey from Shrek appeared in one episode. Didn't last long, especially after the incident that closed the Mirage show and people kept on thinking it's a kids show and was horrified for the PG-13 rated jokes.
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 remember Siegfried and Roy being advertised as a mini series back in the day. It does end in a way that would open up to an ongoing thought so you’re probably not far off. Never heard of Cave Kids or Little Mouse on the Prairie but everything else I remember watching in some form or another sans Hyperman(I was aware of it but never saw it). Honestly CBS Saturday morning really got screwed over in the late 90’s. 😢 Didn’t know Serendipity was a show but it makes sense now. 😊
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.
@1:34 It was way before my time, but I'm pretty that shark character was influenced by Curly, not Moe Howard. I'm also pretty sure that is a picture of Curly, not Moe.
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 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.
Serendipity was released as an edited-together movie in North America, I loved it! Very confusing that the theme song called her a dinosaur instead of a dragon, LOL I remember Santo Bugito! Wasn’t a fan but like you said, it was on every Saturday morning block for a long time. What memories!
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."
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.
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...
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.
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.
not only did i not notice the new look until I saw your comment, but I don't really recall any of these. but that's why i like your channel. I vaguely remember the bug cartoon. but not enough to say it couldnt have been a duckman fever dream.
I'm actually surprised by how many of these I had no memory of. Action Man, Geeker, B.A.D. and Siegfried & Roy I had at least seen in a volume of Disney Adventures back in the day, but I only knew Sky Dancers from the toy commercials. Cave Kids I didn't learn about until a few years back, but the rest are entirely new to me. The fact that Richie Rich had a 90s cartoon seems obvious due to the movie but never saw so much as a magazine ad about it, and I'm shocked nobody in the furry community ever mentions the mouse cartoon. Granted these days they don't even talk about the American Tail TV series despite the love of all things Don Bluth (even though he was only attached to the first film :V). Still, at least as a concept some of these actually sounded pretty neat!
I never heard of any of these, but most of them I was able to find on UA-cam. However, only copies of Little Mouse on the Prairie I was able to find wasn't in English. Anyways, thank you, did enjoy this video.
I had a couple of sky dancers! They ended up in rough shape, but at least my siblings and I were good enough about aiming the toys so that we didn't get hurt. Plus, after a while, I just played with the doll part without launching them because I got sick of having to ask for help getting them down off of stuff. I only saw a couple episodes of the show years later by stumbling across a tape. It really wasn't a half-bad cartoon.
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.
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
Some honorable, or rather dis-honorable mentions would be Street Sharks, Life with Louie, Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Bruno the Kid. The 90s was filled with failed cartoons.
I find it ironic that CBS replaces Santo Bugito a show about a town full of talking Hispanic insects with a Lion King spinoff series with two of its main lead characters known for eating insects! In a way Timon and Pumbaa were there to clean up those pest up and made sure that we did not remember that series ever exist.
I remember Arthur very much! I used to watch it with my grand daughter. We both loved it. Especially the theme song by Ziggy Marley and the melody makers.
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.
The only ones of these I remember are Richie Rich, Action Man, Sky Dancers, & Project G.K.R. But I have a question: Why include Sky Dancers & NOT DragonFlies - which was a version of SkyDancers more geared toward boys. Did that not also happen in '96? I'm honestly curious, because I watched both, but I don't remember if I ever saw them in the same year.
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
Do You Remember watching any of these? For our regular viewers did you enjoy this new look?
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.

AND BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES!
@@samtyler2365 only Batman The Animated Series wasn't a failure like the rest of these.
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
Street sharks was my show 😂🤞🏿
Gargoyles too ....I was mad when it just disappeared disappeared from tv one day

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
I miss 90s cartoons, I really do.
Same here 90 stuff had the best animation
Me too
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
Action Man, the greatest hero of the mall! :P I remember the slogan from the toy ads. lol
ACTION MAN!!!
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.

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.
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 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
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

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 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.
Hey, how did you like the new edit style of this video?
@@TheReviewStudios It was great!
Phew, thank you for the feedback
I think I have one of those lost Hyperman videos. Gonna have to go through some old tapes.
The Cinema Snob was the only one brave enough to sit through the horror show that was 'Baby Huey's Great Easter Adventure'.
I'll have to check that out.Thanks

Digging the updated visuals! 🎆
not only did i not notice the new look until I saw your comment, but I don't really recall any of these. but that's why i like your channel. I vaguely remember the bug cartoon. but not enough to say it couldnt have been a duckman fever dream.
Thank You! This feedback helps us immensely.
I'm actually surprised by how many of these I had no memory of. Action Man, Geeker, B.A.D. and Siegfried & Roy I had at least seen in a volume of Disney Adventures back in the day, but I only knew Sky Dancers from the toy commercials. Cave Kids I didn't learn about until a few years back, but the rest are entirely new to me. The fact that Richie Rich had a 90s cartoon seems obvious due to the movie but never saw so much as a magazine ad about it, and I'm shocked nobody in the furry community ever mentions the mouse cartoon. Granted these days they don't even talk about the American Tail TV series despite the love of all things Don Bluth (even though he was only attached to the first film :V). Still, at least as a concept some of these actually sounded pretty neat!
I never heard of any of these, but most of them I was able to find on UA-cam. However, only copies of Little Mouse on the Prairie I was able to find wasn't in English. Anyways, thank you, did enjoy this video.
Very cool! Thank you
I had a couple of sky dancers! They ended up in rough shape, but at least my siblings and I were good enough about aiming the toys so that we didn't get hurt. Plus, after a while, I just played with the doll part without launching them because I got sick of having to ask for help getting them down off of stuff.
I only saw a couple episodes of the show years later by stumbling across a tape. It really wasn't a half-bad cartoon.
Sheesh, I was unaware of any of these, and I watched Fox Kids a lot...
Wow, I think this one was maybe the obscurest batch of cartoons, only knew 2 or 3. Congrats.
Nice yeah, it definitely was
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.
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
The inspiration for Jabberjaw was named Curly Howard, not Moe. How’s they get the picture right but not the name?
I forgot about duck man. I loved watching that show. I miss the 90s cartoons.
Some honorable, or rather dis-honorable mentions would be Street Sharks, Life with Louie, Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Bruno the Kid. The 90s was filled with failed cartoons.
I liked “Life with Louie.” It’s funny because Anderson had it set as his own childhood, but in reality his father was an extreme alcoholic
I find it ironic that CBS replaces Santo Bugito a show about a town full of talking Hispanic insects with a Lion King spinoff series with two of its main lead characters known for eating insects! In a way Timon and Pumbaa were there to clean up those pest up and made sure that we did not remember that series ever exist.
Strangely, I'd never seen any of these shows. I vaguely remember Action Man.
I remember Arthur very much! I used to watch it with my grand daughter. We both loved it. Especially the theme song by Ziggy Marley and the melody makers.
I always confuse him with Franklin
I remember "Santo Bugito". It ran in the UK as part of ITV's Saturday morning lineup.
Nice!
There have been many un-finished great animated stories
B.A.D. Is probably the closest we will ever get to XCOM cartoon.
I used to watch B.A.D. on Fox Kids.
Loved it as a kid.
The following year, one of the greatest cartoons of all time would premiere: Recess.
Shockly i never saw any of these 96 lineup
Good video btw
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.
I loved Santo Bugito as a kid. I thought it had more than 13 episodes but, being a kid, concepts of time and size are skewed a fair bit.
If i had a nickle for any Sigfried and Roy cartoon that failed, i would have two, which isn't that much but is weird that happened two times
I remember the Siegfried and Roy cartoon… I thought it was weird.
The only ones of these I remember are Richie Rich, Action Man, Sky Dancers, & Project G.K.R.
But I have a question: Why include Sky Dancers & NOT DragonFlies - which was a version of SkyDancers more geared toward boys. Did that not also happen in '96? I'm honestly curious, because I watched both, but I don't remember if I ever saw them in the same year.
action man was awesome and his finale wasn't like a cliffhanger
I remember Richie Rich, Action Man, and Geeker. I enjoyed Action Man. I bought the DVD set a few years back. I still enjoy it's 90s cheesiness
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!
Sigfried and Roy had TWO cartoons? That's two too many.
Remember Swat Kats? It was really good, but it was only around for a season.
Honestly, Project Geeker is the only one I remember being genuinely upset that there was no continuation of it.
