    Karate Cat & Street Frogs was part of an hour long cartoon show called 'The Comic Strip', produced by the same company that made Thundercats & Silverhawks. The show wasn't just Street Frogs & Karate Cat, but also the shows Camp Mini Mon & Tiger Sharks. Each show lasted 15 minutes each, except for Tiger Sharks which was split into two halves, w/either Street Frogs, Karate Cat or Camp Mini Mon in between. Tiger Sharks were basically the underwater version of Thundercats & Silverhawks, even featuring some of the same voice cast.
    As for Gumby & Pokey? I have no clue as to why they were there in ghe first place. 😅

      I bet the group that produced the traveling show already had the rights to Gumby, so they'd just throw him in.

    8:02 Lady in front is Melodia(?) music using villain from Silverhawks. Playing her keytar, musical notes on a a musical staff, flow out of the end that is out of frame (lower right).
    The guy in sunglasses, is a gambling inspired Silverhawks villain. He runs the casino in the show. And I believe his 'eyes' are slot machine wheels. Or they might be dice.

    Junkman you put out gold today. First, everyone loves talking about collecting. Then this one. Jokes aside, it looks awesome, Thundercats and Silver Hawks, then you throw in the others. I don't like musicals, but I would have been dying to see this as a kid. Those shows were awesome and this looks pretty cool. When I saw the animated He-Man & She-Ra movie, they had actors playing them both. I thought it was the coolest thing. I definitely would have wanted to see this. The Street Frogs look hilarious. And the Thudercats, is that Tracy Morgan as Panthro? Kidding 😂😂😂 Anyway, great videos today.

    According to my uncle, who was a talent scout / manager for up and coming comedians, Scott Thompson was having trouble developing his signature look. To lift his spirits, my uncle took Scott to see Thundercats Live and upon seeing Lion-O, Scott had an epiphany and it was at that moment Carrot Top was born.

    If I'm going to see Thundercats, choreographed dance routines are not what I'm there for.
    I remember being very young and seeing ads for 'Cats' while we were visiting the city. I asked my mother if we could go. "No.... you won't like that"
    Cat people running around? Looks awesome! Turns out, I absolutely would not have liked that. I would've been, "why are they singing again? This is stupid"
    The same things I'd be saying about the Thundercats show.

    I was also too old when "ThunderCats" came out in 1985 or "SilverHawks" (1986), but I wasn't even aware of "The Comic Strip" the TV series until this video. I don't remember even hearing of "The Mini-Monsters", "Street Frogs" or "Karate Kat" before, although "TigerSharks" strikes a bell, but I don't really remember them either.

      I remember I kinda wanted to see the Ninja Turtle live show/concert.
      I was a little kid, I didn't know what all it entailed.
      Then I saw footage as an adult and I couldn't believe what I saw.
      Not only that, but the innuendos that were thrown around casually on a day time talk show talking about having an interspecies relationship with April ..
      it was weird and REALLY awkward.
      Sure, it was the early 90s, but that's no excuse.

      @tperson8347 , you're definitely right regarding the not-so-subtle innuendo. I still remember Rizzo the Rat asking Brooke Shields her opinion on interspecial dating in Muppets Take Manhattan in 1984 and Michelangelo having a bit of a thing for April in the 1990 TMNT movie, "She called me Mikey" as he grooms his bald head. 😅
      I just really didn't like the transformation of the cartoons into their live on-stage appearances. That and the bad live songs were what bothered me.

    Definitely cringe. Thundercats where made to kick a** and fight bad guys not shake it on the dance floor. They where ment for high paced action animation not west side story. I rewatched the tmnt one recently for 1990 and God it was so bad. I was 7 then granted but it was horrible.
