Nice overview. I love Bucky and it broke my heart as a kid when the show was cancelled and the toy line ended. I had all 10 figures and both vehicles, though sadly most of that was either sold or tossed leaving me with just Bucky. It's also unfortunate the comics that were exclusive to Italy never were released here and are so hard to get and the cartoon still hasn't officially been released on DVD in region 1. On the plus side, the new figures from Boss Fight Studio are fantastic and hopefully the line can continue. They're even doing a Mimi LaFloo! And we'll always have the NES game which is pretty great.
The theme song in the toy commercial replaces Jenny with Bruiser since we didn't get a Jenny toy until Boss Fight Studio put one out a couple years ago (it's awesome).
Didn't know Marvel co-produced this. Loved the theme song. Loved the Konami games. I was one of the few people that knew it was based on an comic book. I had issue #1 from 1991 and wish I still had it. It must be worth a lot of money now.
@@SyFyWire I don't even know! It always blew my mind so few people seemed to remember it! I could understand newer generations, but even people my own age, a couple decades ago, didn't even remember it! 😩
About time i've been waiting for this video for a while. Saw this on the homepage and instantly clicked on it, havent even started watching the video yet and i know it will be good. Love the theme song.
Man, there's a lot of great Canadian voice talent in this who just so happened to have also been in Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy too! Why have I never watched this show?
I wanted to catch this show back in the day at but it played when I couldn't catch it. Kids nowadays don't know the struggle. The action figures were sick!
I wish Bucky O'Hare had a second season, and in one of the series had included a crossover it had got stuck into another dimension within an entered into across within an anniversary within an alternate dimension
Dude, i watched the HELL out of this show when i was a kid, i didn't know it only had limited episodes till i got older and tired to hunt it down. but the theme song.....is just too epic. i still rock that song at age 37.
Definitely an underrated classic. Love all the bright colors. Been collecting the vintage toys and Boss Fight Studio's newer figures and making childhood-me very happy who only played with them at friends' houses. I have some unboxing videos if you haven't seen the newer figs.
I recently reacted to this series on the Stardust app. I wish it had lasted longer. I agree that it is called the aniverse because they are all animals. I always felt this was closer to Flash Gordon than Star Wars though. B~)
Dude, we NEED an EYDK on Starchaser! I just watched that a couple months ago, and it was fantastic. I have a huge soft spot for those 80's sci fi animated films.
No one will dare try to outfight Bucky O'Hare. It's awesome to find out more about our unique and universe saving space team. Stay safe and keep it up!
if they gonna do a Bucky O' Hare reboot., they need to keep what worked in the original., (ie First Mate Jenny's relationship with Wily Dewitt etc)., and get rid of what didn't work in the original altogether., first the characters: Bucky: Poe Dameron/Kanan Jarrus.,,. First Mate Jenny: Ahsoka Tano( Clone Wars Movie & Season 1 version)/Sabine Wren SW Rebels/ and 2012's TMNT's Shinigami.,,. Wily Dewitt: a hybrid of Donatellos from 1987's & 2012's TMNT and Rise Of The TMNT.,,. Deadeye Duck: Zeb Orrelios.,,. AFC Blinky: Chopper.,,. Bruiser: a hybrid of 2012's TMNT's & Rise Of The TMNT's Raphael.,,. Komplex: Snoke/ Palpatine.,,. Toad Air Marshall : General Hux.,,. ToadBorg: Kylo Ren.,,. Al Negator: Hondo Ohnaka.,,. second the look., tone & feel of the reboot: Adventure Time., Star Vs The Force of Evil., Steven Universe., Invader Zim., Gravity Falls., 2012's TMNT., Rise Of The TMNT., & Modern Star Wars( Clone Wars., Rebels and the New Movie Trilogy).,,.
I agree the relationship between the two just felt weird to me I wish it was like a brother and sister type of relationship instead of begin a romantic one.
The show was amazing, but a loooooot of this video is a stretch. Good to see more people talking about the franchise though! Extremely surprised you didn't mention the very recent toy line from Boss Fight Studio though! They're WAY better than the original toy line, and Bucky doesn't look deformed in it like the original (the original Bucky toy in particular looked like crap)
I remember getting up at 4 am (3 hours before school) just to catch Bucky O’Hare on UHF I’d love to be able to play the 4-player arcade game again - MAKE IT HAPPEN Arcade1up !!
I first read Bucky OHare in an anthology comic called Echo of Futurepast in the early 80s. I don't recall seeing his own books. I also think they left Jenny (they call her a Witch Cat in the comics) out of the toy lineup. I know figures of her were produced in limited numbers much later.
I like this episode, like you said the cartoon was based on the Bucky O'Hare comic book from Continuity Comics in the mid-1980s. If you haven't read it find some back issues it is a great read.
Wait....you brought up Dead Eye Duck but haven't brought up Scott McNeil?! A voice actor who played in Beast Wars, Gundam Wing and many other shows covered on your channel?!
How can he not bring up Jaxxon!? Jaxxon is a Star Wars character that is a Lepi, a green rabbit humanoid. He wears red, piolots a ship, and shoots bad guys with 1 liners. He's basically Bucky. Here's his Wookieepedia article: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jaxxon
I watched this show when I was a freshman in college back in 1991. Yes the characters look simular to Star Wars, and it is a good series. The creators were trying to compete with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but failed. I love Bucky O Hare. I wish they would bring it back. I also heard rumors that a live action movie is in the air, don't know when it will begin filming, but who knows.
In regard to the toad planet looking like the Death Star: Id actually say it looks more like Coruscant the Imperial Homeworld which coincidentally debuted in the first novel of the "Thrawn Trilogy" Heir to the Empire which was first published in *gasp* 1991! Looks like your Bucky O'Hare=STAR WARS theory could be deeper than you thought. The Force is truly strong with this one. 😁
Bucky O' Hare and SWAT Kats are the two 90s shows that really needs a genuinely good reboot, SWAT Kats got close in the mid-late 2010s but CN denied the show so it was canceled (even though it had been kickstart funded). but honestly, Bucky can be compared to Star Fox, which ironically bucky predates.
Captain Planet,Freakazoid(Dexter Douglas),Gargoyle And BuckyOHare need Live Action Movie like The Power Ranger,TMNT,Sonic The Hedgehog AndDetective Pikachu!
Bucky desperately need a reboot. This series is an absolute perfect

"They even managed to introduce every main character."
Bruiser: 😠
The theme song in the toy commercial replaces Jenny with Bruiser since we didn't get a Jenny toy until Boss Fight Studio put one out a couple years ago (it's awesome).
Didn't know Marvel co-produced this.
Loved the theme song.
Loved the Konami games.
I was one of the few people that knew it was based on an comic book.
I had issue #1 from 1991 and wish I still had it.
It must be worth a lot of money now.
So many people don't remember Bucky O'Hare, I had to immediately smash that like button!
How could they forget!?
@@SyFyWire I don't even know! It always blew my mind so few people seemed to remember it! I could understand newer generations, but even people my own age, a couple decades ago, didn't even remember it! 😩
Absolutely classic series and one of the best theme songs in my opinion.
Agreed!
I loved watching this every Saturday. I had all the old action figures from this.
His ship is named "Righteous Indignation." To this day that is still one of the most badass ship names ever.
Wish that they would bring that show back it would be awesome
our dude has been looking good during quarantine, keep it up! Also an EYDK on Big Wolf on Campus would be amazing!
You forgot to mention that Jenny was voiced by Kathe Shophy. The same person who voiced Sally Acorn from Sonic SATAM and Lola Bunny from Space Jam.
Kath Soucie is classic!
Jenny, and pretty much every female on the show, was voiced by Margot Pinvidic.
Now this is a show that needs a remake.
Scott McNeil as dead eye is awesome. Feels like he only did bad ass characters
I love this show. But also, why is there no EYDK: Mighty Max?
This theme song still randomly pops in my head!
"BUCKY"!💪🏾
🎶 Bucky! Captain Bucky 'OHare. Mutants and aliens and toads beware. 🎶
@@SyFyWire 1 tear drops. ..😢🔥
Does it count as a Star Wars reference that Bucky O'Hare looks a lot like Jaxxon or Jax from Star Wars Comics? Only two green space rabbits I know of.
no.... it doesn't count.
Lol. I was just thinking how there was no mention of Jaxxon on here. Missed opportunity.
Got in an argument on which one came first. What do you think?
Found this video looking for more information about how close these green bunny's are.
@@MADDROBB….Bucky was 1984 & Jaxxon was 1977.
What we really need is a Bucky O'Hare and Biker Mice from Mars Crossover. Just think of the PUNS!!!!!
Maybe a demented Duck Dodgers from the 24 and a half Century?
I forgot about Captain Bucky O'hare. Man, that was like 30 years ago.... Damn I'm old.
One of my greatest childhood loves. Still have the toys my mom got for my brother and I.
have you guys done Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys yet?
This show should be more known. I really appreciate your work!
U need to do T-Rex,stunt dawgs,double dragon and thundercats
About time i've been waiting for this video for a while. Saw this on the homepage and instantly clicked on it, havent even started watching the video yet and i know it will be good. Love the theme song.
You ask, we answer
right, that big scene in episode 4 when Han convinces his people to join the Rebels. and his best friend, a quacking ninja.
Loved this show!
Loved the NES game and loved the arcade game.
Wish i got the toys as a kid.
I had a friend who had the Bucky o hare action figure when I was 7 in 1991 loved both the video game and the TV series too😊
Let's croak us some toads!
@@SyFyWire 📼
Only had a couple as a kid but been collecting the vintage and new Boss Fight Studio toys as an adult!
@@LlanoRiverBlue 🙃
I think Willy is supposed to be R2D2. He's a smart tech guy, and he's the most alien of the main because he's the only human in the Aniverse
It's crazy cuz as a yung kid I couldn't tell it was only 13 episodes..This is a prominent staple in my childhood
Man, there's a lot of great Canadian voice talent in this who just so happened to have also been in Beast Wars and the Unicron Trilogy too! Why have I never watched this show?
I still have the NES game as well as several of the original comics from the late 70s, early 80s.
I wanted to catch this show back in the day at but it played when I couldn't catch it. Kids nowadays don't know the struggle. The action figures were sick!
Still happy I got the comic after all these years. The artwork is still PHENOMINAL!!!
I actually watched the show it was pretty great I think it's deserve a reboot
I wish Bucky O'Hare had a second season, and in one of the series had included a crossover it had got stuck into another dimension within an entered into across within an anniversary within an alternate dimension
Now you gotta do Captain Simian and the space monkeys.
Dude, i watched the HELL out of this show when i was a kid, i didn't know it only had limited episodes till i got older and tired to hunt it down. but the theme song.....is just too epic. i still rock that song at age 37.
"Bucky"!! "Captain Bucky O'Hare"!! 🎶🎵🎶🎵
"He goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare!🎶🎶🎶🎶
Definitely an underrated classic. Love all the bright colors. Been collecting the vintage toys and Boss Fight Studio's newer figures and making childhood-me very happy who only played with them at friends' houses. I have some unboxing videos if you haven't seen the newer figs.
Alright I am putting these up for future suggestions. 1) War Planets (Cover Reboot first if need be) 2) Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys
I loved it as a kid. I read the comic and adored the toys. You missed the obvious connection. Jaxxon the green rabbit in the Star Wars comics.
I recently reacted to this series on the Stardust app. I wish it had lasted longer.
I agree that it is called the aniverse because they are all animals. I always felt this was closer to Flash Gordon than Star Wars though. B~)
I had the toad air marshal toy as a kid. Now I realize why, it was probably all that was left in the toy store.
I definitely remember there being some sort of Bucky O'Hare arcade cabinet too
Dude, we NEED an EYDK on Starchaser! I just watched that a couple months ago, and it was fantastic. I have a huge soft spot for those 80's sci fi animated films.
i want to give this gem a rewatch.
You just became my best friend. I don't know anyone that remembers this. THANK YOU!!!
Marcus, I think this is the beginning of a b-e-a-utiful frienship!
I used to have the 1st appearance of Bucky O'Hare...which was in Continuity's Echoes of Future Past #1.
No one will dare try to outfight Bucky O'Hare. It's awesome to find out more about our unique and universe saving space team. Stay safe and keep it up!

where did you find the hd footage of this cartoon ?

I remember getting up at 4 am (3 hours before school) just to catch Bucky O’Hare on UHF
I’d love to be able to play the 4-player arcade game again - MAKE IT HAPPEN Arcade1up !!
Been getting this add for months now. Figured I'd give it a shot.
Please do Robotech! It’s my favorite cartoon show from the 80’s!
Y'all should do a video for Pirates of Dark Water
Hey remember when Star Wars was actually good? And people ripped it off unironically?
One of the greatest shows of my childhood.
Do an episode on Bonkers!
I hate how these SYFY videos do not do the research about the subjects they talk about in these videos.
This series is so masculine. I love it
I had the NES game. I didn’t know it was anything more. That’s crazy!
I actually met Michael Golden 10yrs ago. Nice guy
I had no idea this character even existed till Death Battle pitted him against Fox Mccloud a forgotten character from a forgotten franchise lol.
Short-lived just like Firefly. The nes game really did this series justice.
I’ve never met anyone else ever who has also seen and remember this show.
I first read Bucky OHare in an anthology comic called Echo of Futurepast in the early 80s. I don't recall seeing his own books. I also think they left Jenny (they call her a Witch Cat in the comics) out of the toy lineup. I know figures of her were produced in limited numbers much later.

Loved this cartoon saw it when I was 7 in 1991 to bad it only lasted 13 episodes ☻
There's also a lot of voice actors you might know I found one and one episode that that sound like double D from Ed Edd n Eddy
really needed a 2nd season
Wait....you brought up Dead Eye Duck but haven't brought up Scott McNeil?! A voice actor who played in Beast Wars, Gundam Wing and many other shows covered on your channel?!
I absolutely do not remember this at all I was not born yet this is like discovering history in a much more fun way than finding in a textbook though.
Finally someone remembers this awesome silly toon. Classic.
I love these videos.
I had toys and played the arcade game in the early 90s. Didn’t even know it was a cartoon
One of my favorites, and I owned all the toys! Which was a big deal for me! Probably because they were always on clearance.

They need to bring this back. No reason for cartoons to be anchored to toy sales
It took me like 10 minutes to realize his shirt was in the font of Martin the TV show wondering why or if he knew
I watched this show when I was a freshman in college back in 1991. Yes the characters look simular to Star Wars, and it is a good series. The creators were trying to compete with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but failed. I love Bucky O Hare. I wish they would bring it back.

How about recapping Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys?
In regard to the toad planet looking like the Death Star: Id actually say it looks more like Coruscant the Imperial Homeworld which coincidentally debuted in the first novel of the "Thrawn Trilogy" Heir to the Empire which was first published in *gasp* 1991! Looks like your Bucky O'Hare=STAR WARS theory could be deeper than you thought. The Force is truly strong with this one. 😁
I suffer through withdrawal waiting for the next episode of EYDK
If Netflix was able to allow all the episodes of Code Lyoko, Why can't they do the same with all of these old school cartoons? IJS
Thanks for reminding me about it
Bucky O’Hare the nostalgia
You forgot to mention Jaxon from the Star Wars Marvel comic.
Would you consider doing an episode on The Spectacular Spider-Man? That would be be pretty cool.
Nickelodeon show and October?
Ahhh! Real Monsters
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Maybe something else?
Bucky O' Hare and SWAT Kats are the two 90s shows that really needs a genuinely good reboot, SWAT Kats got close in the mid-late 2010s but CN denied the show so it was canceled (even though it had been kickstart funded).
but honestly, Bucky can be compared to Star Fox, which ironically bucky predates.
i had had issue 1 at some point. wish i still did
So good this series
Does anyone think that Bucky O' Hare inspired Starfox? Because this came out a couple of years before Starfox but Starfox has more popularity
I still have those exact same toys
There needs to be a crossover in the style of Rodger rabbit
Or you could just introduce them as extra dimensional characters in the Marvel Universe
I had a bucky o haire figure when I was little
"Aniverse" is absolutely because they're ANImals.
Captain Bucky O'Hare! Mutants and aliens and Toads beware!
Captain Planet,Freakazoid(Dexter Douglas),Gargoyle And BuckyOHare need Live Action Movie like The Power Ranger,TMNT,Sonic The Hedgehog AndDetective Pikachu!
Holy crap it's my childhood
