As soon as I saw Family Dog, I thought he looked just like Sparky from Frankenweenie. Then when you mentioned Tim Burton worked on the show, it all made sense.
@@CarysCreatesThings Family Dog is a cartoon I only know of because it received at least one video game tie in, as is also the case with Maya The Bee, Benjamin The Elephant and Initial D!
I miss swat cats. Used to watch that in 93. I remember also watching stunt dawgs as well. 93 was an awesome year. Playing Mario paint and what not. Much simpler times.
Apparently the show had too many production issues because the Miranda episodes were supposed to air first but had to be redone, later Bonkers is transferred to work with Lucky who moves away after getting hired by the FBI.
Bonkers did have 65 episodes in four groups so it's a bit misleading to call it a single season. Other shows would only get 13 episodes a season. It is on Disney+ but up until that time it was unavailable. I don't believe it's ever been released on DVD.
From my understanding, it had production issues where the Miranda Wright episodes were the original premises of the slated 65 episode series. However, Disney deemed the animation quality from overseas less than stellar, where they retooled the series with a team of writers. The new Wright then retooled the series where they replaced Miranda Wright with Lucky Piquel, but made the Piquel episodes taking place before Miranda's - Lucky Piquel's surname is probaby a "play-on-words" that his episodes are prequel episodes.19 of the Wright episodes were aired after the 42 Piquel episodes. I digress. No offense to the video, but it is a misleading as some of these cartoons such as Bobkers and Double Dragon intended to be 1 season because it was the fashion at the time to make enough episodes for syndication. If you think about it, a lot of the Disney Afternoon cartoons like the Rescue Rangers and Tailspin didn't have additional episodes made for Saturday mornings. From my recollection, a few did such as Aladdin and Darkwing Duck.
YOU HAVE CROOOOO OMG I'm so happy!!! I caught reruns of this in the early 2000s on Nickelodeon and I loved it so much. Only ever saw like three episodes, but it stuck in my brain so hard.
This is the first mention of Cro I've seen in comments, This is a show I forgot I missed. Hit the nostalgia Hard. When remembering old cartoons at work, I hit Swat Kats, Tailspin by song alone, etc. But, I completely forgot this show existed.
I miss being a kid in the 90s. It was definitely a golden decade. I remember bonkers n both sonic cartoons from back then. Saturday morning toons w cereal were all i needed to be happy
The 'Cro' theme song goes hard, man. Me and my best friend in middle school would always spontaneously sing it out loud (same with the Captain Planet ending theme) because it always got stuck in our heads, and I still remember it to this day.
Oddly, I remember The Family Dog appearing as part of some kind of special presentation. I only ever saw one episode but I liked it enough that I clicked on this video when I saw the dog in the header image.
As a pre-teen, I watched Sonic, Dennis, Double Dragon, Droopy, and Bonkers. The latter were undoubtedly the best, and I still remember the theme-tune for Bonkers very fondly.
Sonic and Double Dragon were the best of this list because these are most of what I remember. There is one missing which is Speed Racer. Some of the best cartoons were from the 90s IMO!
Things tend to last longer when you’re a kid. I must’ve watched the entire series of bonkers because I thought that show was on for five years. There were so many episodes I had no idea it was only one season. same with Tail Spin.
I was a huge fan of anything and everything Sonic the Hedgehog while growing up in the 90s. I fondly remember watching both animated series and playing with a little sonic toy I got from McDonalds constantly
@@writerpatrick That would actually be a cool idea. I saw the series back in the day and it was decent. Although viewable for all ages it really should have been specifically made for the early to mid-teen age range. With today's technology someone could remake/reboot it as a live-action / CGI show without much trouble. As long as they keep present day BS out of it, and employ their writers on merit rather than representation, I'm sure the show would have a chance.
I never understood Sonic with the chillidogs. It wasnt in the game at all and its not like they were advertising or selling any chillidogs. Maybe 711 but was Sonic going to 711? Maybe IDK
And if you're doing an animated show that ran for two seasons you would be looking at Exosquad. It was one of few mature, animated shows that somehow made it as a kids' cartoon on Saturday morning. Basically, Exosquad was killing off main characters before Game of Thrones came out.
11:41 Hey now! Double Dragon! So far this is the first series I remember watching. And even though I probably haven’t heard the opening theme in 30 or so years, the lyrics instantly came back to me. lol
That commercial break thing with the cowboy and that sound effect is my whole childhood. I used to sing along and tried doing the sound effect. Thank you for always adding them to the videos.
Bonkers was amazing! Way underrated! Sure not every episode was good but it had many moments of success and it always made me laugh and smile. It is definitely one of my favorite Disney cartoons of the 90s. Just found your channel. I’m a new follower and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
I loved Cro as a kid, and the theme song is one those that stuck in my head over the decades. Also rather dark...but yeah it's one of those that feels forgotten compared to other 90's shows that get remembered but I'm definitely one of those that loved it, simple as it was.
Cro, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, double dragon and bonkers were all a part of my childhood. Never saw stone protectors but I remember the commercials for the action figures that were put out as well as battletoads
In 93 I was 13. I remember almost everyone of these shows except for Cro and Stone Protectors. Only reason I watched Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was cause of the comic. Some of these I had forgotten about because I didnt watch them. But I remember seeing the commercials and I remember turning on The all-new Dennis the Menace show one morning and did not like it. I had always loved the old Dennis I grew up on that version and something just seemed off with the new one. Didnt watch the Sonic show but I remember it being on and when you said the name "Family Dog" at first I didnt remember it then you showed the dog and instantly cause I always thought as a kid how weird it was that the dogs nose doesnt touch his face it hovers just above the end of his nose. Also, the part with the mean brother yelling "mad dog mad dog" I instantly had a rush of memories. Wow, such great shows.....sometimes but thanks for the trip down memory lane.
93 was the first year I can recall memories, I was born in 90 so I can remember almost all these cartoons and the toys they produced. It's wild to think this was 31 years ago now
Seeing some of the cartoons now, as a 36 years old man, I can't help but feel old and yet happy, seeing old cartoons of my childhood., that I have pretty much forgotten about. Greeetings from Germany Series I watched as a kid: Family Dog (can't remember a damn thing, but I know, I watched it), Sonic (no brainer), Droopy Master Detective and of course Bonkers, whose main Theme I would be singing, or humming back in the day.
My little brother and I used to play the Double Dragon NES game all the time when we kids in the 80s but I don’t remember there being a cartoon. If we knew, we would have definitely watched. We did watch Captain N the Game Master though. I even recorded it so we could watch it over and over. I really miss those days.
I thought the Droopy detective thing was just a segment they did as part of the Tom & Jerry Kids cartoon. Usually the middle segment in a three section episode. Or was this similar to the Plucky Duck show they did, which we all know was just segments of Tiny Toon Adventures spliced in?
Yeah those segments specifically led to the Droopy Master Detective spin-off. Crazy, everything in the early 90s was pitched as "extreme" and somehow Droopy managed to sneak through relatively unscathed. The Tom and Jerry Kids opening theme is a masterpiece.
@@TheReviewStudiosI was just telling my wife I was certain it was a Tom & Jerry Kids spin-off... and then I promptly sang the theme song. Such a bop that 20 years later I still remember it.
The Plucky Duck Show only had one new episode, if I remember correctly: the first episode where he tries to become the star of a new Tim Burton Batman movie.
Ive seen all of these since I had absentee parents, and watched way too much TV as a kid. Cro and Bonkers were my favorites. Bonkers deserves a comeback ✊
I knew most of these Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Racer All New Dennis the Menace Double Dragon Stone Protectors Bonkers I learned about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs years later. Sad i missed it.
I loved Bonkers! The lucky pickle joke still makes me laugh all these years later! Also, the "after these messages, we'll be riiiiiight back!" short is a punch right in the nostalgia gut. Memories from a better time.....
One of the few good things about the Speed Racer cartoon is that it helped generate interest in the classic version. MTV ended up licensing the series and airing it at 1am on Friday night IIRC.
Thank you for explaining what "1 season" means. I was always shocked to hear some shows that had like several dozen episodes only lasted one season, never made sense to me.
Surprising to hear Bonkers was only one stitched-together season. From what I remember, a bunch of Miranda episodes were animated first, but deemed too low quality so most of them were entirely scrapped. Then the Lucky Pickle, er, Piquel episodes were made, IMHO of much higher quality. It definitely feels like two different seasons, with only one character and the premise carrying over, and a district redesign at that.
Technically it did have 2 seasons as the miranda episodes were actually produced first but after those few episodes failed in test markets they made the much better received lucky episodes but come time to air the show proper they just aired the lucky episodes first and used the miranda episodes as filler to reach the 65 episode threshold since the show wasn't popular enough to warrant producing more episodes. So basically the show is like those scooby doo syndication series that package multiple series together as the lucky and miranda episodes are technically two different runs and would certainly qualify as multiple seasons if it wasn't a made for syndication deal.
Something you may not know about the stone protectors, but there was a Kickstarter a year or two back for the stone protectors to finally release the last episodes on DVD which also came with a copy of the game. I happen to have the DVD and a steam version of the game. It's a beat-em-up
A couple of notes on Family Dog. First, Amazing Stories was an anthology series, similar to the Twilight Zone, and Family Dog was the only episode that was animated. Second, it was created by Brad Bird, who would go on to do The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. An underrated clasic.
I remember watching it back in the day. I probably didn't fully understand it then, but now that I look back on it I feel sorry for the dog because his human family are too wrapped up in themselves to pay attention to him!
And I don't think any of the people that worked on the Amazing Stories Family Dog were involved with the TV series, which was rushed into production after The Simpsons became popular and all the other networks wanted prime time cartoons of their own. The titles of all these cartoons are listed on tombstones in one of The Simpsons Halloween Specials, after these shows all flopped and were cancelled: Family Dog, Capitol Critters, and Fish Police.
I remember Cro. And yeah, it's just that good. I also remember Double Dragon. With Jimmy and Bimmy. Memes aside, yeah, not enough action scenes for an action cartoon. I remember ads for the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs toys. I remember Bonkers. Never watched it, but I remember it.
As soon as I saw Family Dog, I thought he looked just like Sparky from Frankenweenie. Then when you mentioned Tim Burton worked on the show, it all made sense.
Same here. Frankenweenie traumatized me to a point that I can't forget it 30 years later.
@@CarysCreatesThings Family Dog is a cartoon I only know of because it received at least one video game tie in, as is also the case with Maya The Bee, Benjamin The Elephant and Initial D!
It was the ghost pup from Nightmare Before Christmas to me.
My mom and I love Bonkers! A fun Disney cartoon.
A classic
I loved the adventure of sonic when I was younger I find it funny and charming
I miss swat cats. Used to watch that in 93. I remember also watching stunt dawgs as well. 93 was an awesome year. Playing Mario paint and what not. Much simpler times.
It's honestly criminal how slept on and short lived Bonkers was at the time.. That was honestly a pretty great cartoon to watch.
Yes i agree with you, Bonkers were very funny.
I know, right?

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was my favourite cartoon as a kid. Right up there with Batman the animated series, Xmen the animated series, ducktales, TMNT

I loved that Family Dog short! "Sniveling, snarling, white hot ball of canine terror!"
Bonkers was a terrific cartoon!
I watched Speed Racer and still remember the theme song…😅😅😅😅
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer. He's a demon on wheels!
I miss being a kid in the 90s. It was definitely a golden decade. I remember bonkers n both sonic cartoons from back then. Saturday morning toons w cereal were all i needed to be happy
Right!!
Bonkers and Sonic were my favorite cartoons for a while.
Bonkers was so good it's lived on in my memories for decades now. They failed for cancelling it.
You have to hand it to CBS for turning an obscure comic like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs into a show. Usually, it was Fox who did that.
It was a cool show. I'm watching season one on Tubi.
I don't believe I saw it on CBS, but Teletoon (Canada, now called Cartoon Network) had it for a while in the early 2000s.
I never saw it but it actually looks kind of awesome 😂
I knew it as a Arcade game 1st. And it's still a pretty good game to replay.
They aired TMNT which started as an obscure indie comic so maybe they were hoping lighting would strike twice!
The 'Cro' theme song goes hard, man. Me and my best friend in middle school would always spontaneously sing it out loud (same with the Captain Planet ending theme) because it always got stuck in our heads, and I still remember it to this day.
I'm surprised The Bots Master wasn't on the list
That was a hell of a show
I fucking STILL get that theme song stuck in my head!
I wish they would release the series on Blu-ray and/or DVD. I loved that show.
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was so GD good.
So was the Game Capcom made based off of it!
Oddly, I remember The Family Dog appearing as part of some kind of special presentation. I only ever saw one episode but I liked it enough that I clicked on this video when I saw the dog in the header image.
Sonic got over 100 episodes, that is not short lived. That is more than most cartoons got back then even now. SATAM was short lived.
The theme song for Cro was stuck in a deep part of my memory, holy cow thanks for helping me remember where this was from!
As a pre-teen, I watched Sonic, Dennis, Double Dragon, Droopy, and Bonkers. The latter were undoubtedly the best, and I still remember the theme-tune for Bonkers very fondly.
These shows were amazing when we were coming up….but for them being dubbed as failures is crazy
I loved Double Dragon. I just wish there was a better tie-in game more in line with traditional DD rather than a shitty SF clone.
Sonic and Double Dragon were the best of this list because these are most of what I remember. There is one missing which is Speed Racer. Some of the best cartoons were from the 90s IMO!
Bonkers and both of the Sonic cartoons I remember watching alot growing up😅
Heck, I started going back and try to get alot of them on DVD or Blu-ray.
I never would've known about the 90's Sonic cartoon if it wasn't for YTP.
Bonkers was one of my favorite cartoons.
Things tend to last longer when you’re a kid. I must’ve watched the entire series of bonkers because I thought that show was on for five years. There were so many episodes I had no idea it was only one season. same with Tail Spin.
Double Dragon cartoon series kick ass. 😀👍🎮
A lot better then the movie for sure. The toys were awesome too!
Haha... Yeah. Sure.
I used to love Double Dragon but I realize most of ALL Double Dragon content including the games aren't really that good.
@@Gatorade69SKULLMAGEDDON WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
I loved the theme song! The game based on the series (Double Dragon V) not so much
"To be a Dragon Master you gotta be strong 🎵🎶"
I loved Bonkers! It was a fun little show.
Bonkers was criminally underrated.
The theme song from Cro still gets stuck in my head once in a while.
I was a huge fan of anything and everything Sonic the Hedgehog while growing up in the 90s. I fondly remember watching both animated series and playing with a little sonic toy I got from McDonalds constantly
Same here
RIP Martin Mull, who I first discovered on Family Dog!
Cadillac and Dinosaurs is awesome and I wish that a second season would happen. 😀👍
I’ve never seen the show myself but have heard it’s underrated and ahead of it’s time
At this point there's more likely for a remake to be made than a second season.
You could track down some of Zenozoic Tales, the comic the show was based on.

This channel is such a blast from the past and a welcomed mental break from life.🎉
We love hearing that! Thanks for watching and for commenting too!
The only show I didn't watch at the time, and frankly had never heard of, was the new Speed Racer. This was an awesome nostalgic trip!
Double dragon was underrated it deserved more seasons
Double Dragon was set in Metro City, I wonder if it was in the same universe as Inspector Gadget. 🤔
@@MrDman21might be. Both shows were made by DiC
I watched Cadillacs and Dinosaurs on Tubi. How did I not watch this as a kid?
I never understood Sonic with the chillidogs. It wasnt in the game at all and its not like they were advertising or selling any chillidogs. Maybe 711 but was Sonic going to 711? Maybe IDK
There are so many of these that are hazy memories in the back of my mind, it is kind of wild how many cartoons were given a one time shot in the 90s
And if you're doing an animated show that ran for two seasons you would be looking at Exosquad. It was one of few mature, animated shows that somehow made it as a kids' cartoon on Saturday morning. Basically, Exosquad was killing off main characters before Game of Thrones came out.
Hard as fuck
And Exosquad had a continuous storyline which was a rarity for children's cartoons at the time.
Mighty Max started in September 1993 and was highly underrated for a kid's show.
Didn't Exosquad run for a few years?
There was gonna be a season three where an alien race was to be introduced and the Neo-sapiens would team-up with the humans to fight them
Wow bonkers was actually good. I unlocked a bunch of memories watching this vid.
Awesome
Cadillacs and dinosaurs deserved more seasons
The home version of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs for the Sega CD is actually an FMV game. The Capcom arcade version unfortunately never came home
Dang just watched 95 and you got 93 too? You the man!!

Is it me or when a show comes up, there is a collective and resounding scream of “Yaaaaaasss!” by everyone as we watch this?
That Speed Racer theme still rocks! 🎸
Great video. Ive been lucky to watch all these when I was a kid. Great shows.
I didnt know there was a second sonic show until i was an adult(and a third one as well)
I actually had the whole line of the Rock trolls toys from Stone Protectors when I was a kid! How have I forgotten about this show!
This video unlocked 80% of my core memories. I thought Double Dragon and Bonkers was way more successful than that.

I've watched all 4 seasons of bonkers and I loved it I have all 4 seasons on dvd
Ah yes, they put the 65 on four discs. Nice to see it got the blu-ray treatment.
One of the few good things about the Speed Racer cartoon is that it helped generate interest in the classic version. MTV ended up licensing the series and airing it at 1am on Friday night IIRC.
Haha the Robot Chicken Stone Protectors sketch is a classic!
I had a Family Dog stuffed animal, with some vague memories of TV shenanigans, but I could never remember where the character came from until now
First of all, I LOVED Bonkers! I recently re-watched some of it on Disney+. Brought back a lot of memories.
Happy you're back
Thank you, me too 😆

I'm glad you like them! Thanks
It's interesting how many of these shows became huge in tv networks outside US, Dennis the menace and bonkers was always on tv.
Dag, I remember most of these. LOL!
I actually liked Family Dog and Dennis the Menace. I must find these. I must.
I remember Cro. And yeah, it's just that good.
I also remember Double Dragon. With Jimmy and Bimmy. Memes aside, yeah, not enough action scenes for an action cartoon.
I remember ads for the Cadillacs and Dinosaurs toys.
I remember Bonkers. Never watched it, but I remember it.
Double Dragon and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs were Awesome!
Bonkers,speed racer were always fun
I remember watching half of these. Some of these shows were pretty popular at the time too, but that's how it goes sometimes.
I loved the new adventures of Speed Racer! I didn't know it was that poorly received. 😢😢😢 I still remember the theme song ❤
Cro, I watched when it was on ABC but the others like Bonkers I only saw in reruns, only saw 1 ep of Stone Protectors.
