must...be...first
must...be..before..jackas s mask

Lmao.. You silly as hell for that one

I think the problem was that most of these shows had little to offer in comparison to the shows WB and Fox offered to kids on Saturday mornings.


Hense why they were canceled and it became TNBC for its Saturday Morning Lineup that offered all these...um, not sure what you would call them but these teen related sitcoms that were basically blantent ripoffs (in some way or another) of Saved By The Bell. I used to remember they would advertise themselves as being a "alternative" for teenagers to watch on Saturday instead of cartoons. But to me, the shows were so stupid that even in High School I ended up watching most of the Saturday Morning cartoons as opposed to some of the shows on Teen NBC's line-up.

Also- *sees another flickering 'glitch' during the end credits* Wait...what was that.....OH CHRIST ITS BACK AGAIN! *hides under her bed*

"Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take." 0.0'

Ok, I'm "glad" I'm not the only one seeing it... that glitch is damn creepy/disturbing :|

Does the entity erasing the show ?

It was hard to make out, but I think it left behind a message that said something about "lost...beast..home" something.

Damn its getting more and more sneaky by each review

"The Lost Beast Has Found A Home"


o.o

I have more room under the bed if anyone else wants to hide.

Good review; many wtf'ings abound. But yeah, I saw that glitchy thing, too.

'The Lost Beast'... weird. I think I read something about that in the Book of Rahl, lemme see... Here it is, Chapter of Fate, Third Part:

1. The Hole will find the Lock
2. The Lock will fall through the Hole into the Dark
3. The Hole, too, will fall in itself to the Dark
4. Leaving only the Lost.

If I remember right, the Hole, the Lock, and the Lost are supposed to represent the Inferior (aka the Hole, since the Inferior is incomplete), The Misplacer (the Lost, ere go lost items), and the Individual (the Lock, as to intentionally separate one thing from others) mean some kind of sub-creatures that were one a whole being. They form a sort of being both comprised of and a consumer of negative emotion. So the Entity causes misery or sorrow via misplacement of precious things or people and feeds on it.

Buuut most likely, I'm wrong, and I'm just finding freakish coincidences in my research with what limited information is available on the Entity, whatever it really is. Now, if the Entity DOES feed on negative emotion, THEN they might be the same thing. If I can, I'd like to maybe get some excerpts from that journal Linkara found to cross-reference with the Morimotus Codex.

I encountered a being like The Entity during my travels in space. The only way I could defeat it was by sacrificing someone. Fortunate, my dark copy from a parallel universe (who showed up after Hypertime ruptured) was there, so I sacrificed him. HE didnt die, so I banished him into an inescapable dimension, like Zod from Superman II, but he recently escaped, like Zod. Buuuuutt, that's another story. But, Mighty Murdered Power Rangers? Man, someone needs to fix Hypertime, or something.

Yep, another creepy message. They're pretty easy to read, just wait for the glitch, then go back to before it happens, and keep pressing play and pause, until you pause it on the message. If you're quick enough to read it without pausing it. Kudos to you.

Now I am looking forward to the episode when LInkara and his friends (or what is left of them) finally make contact with The Enitity.


Even more so since I still remember the last thing Harvey Finevoice said before he disappeared. I think he knows more than he lets on. So exciting!

I also grew up with Fox Kids and Kids WB because of most of the shows you listed. I also never really watched NBC, ABC, or CBS on Saturday mornings, and it’s maybe because they have hardly nothing for what a nerd like myself and others were interested in watching; …well, except for “Gargoyles,” “Ninja Turtles,” the Disney animated shows, “Disney’s Doug,” “Garfield & Friends” and others.

In speaking of books about TV networks, I remember getting an everlasting subscription for Fox Kids Magazine from Fall of 1994 to when it was discontinued in Fall 2001.

6:39- I think they WERE gonna go that direction, but they quickly figured out they were gonna plagiarize DC’s Captain Marvel, but I guess that didn’t stop them from ripping off Krypto the Superdog.

8:00- Didn’t something similar like this happened to you and other TGWTG contributors in “Suburban Knights?”

8:54- This is like the movie prequel comics that I read, but the way they do it here is (that’s right) stupid.

11:31- I would actually watch that, because I know that it’s a comedy.

The giant cockroach reminds me of the one in “Men in Black,” but kid friendly.

I hear of Pro Stars from a reply to my comment for your NFL Superpro review, because I was talking about spin-off characters like NBA Superpro, NHL Superpro, and WWF Superpro. Good thing I never saw this show when it was around, but we have YouTube these days.

24:42- GIVE ME ONE OF THOSE!

25:58- The only one I can think of for the moments is “Everybody’s got aids and $h!t.”

o_O…Mightily…Murdered…Pow er…Ringers? …Um,…good luck on…um. …>=O I MEAN, WTF!?!?!?!?!?

NBC had comics? Oh noes...

*during the Pro Stars Intro Theme*

Okay, at 15:59, when Michael Jordan saves the girl from the burning building, his tongue is hanging out like a panting dog.


Why? What is going on there? Anyone else catch that? Because that is just freaking wierd!

I'll take this one.

Back in the day, when Jordan was in his prime basketball career, one of his signature things was sticking out his tongue like that as he slam-dunked basketballs.

Oh okay that probably explains it then, as you can see I didn't watch alot of sports or even basketball as a kid in my household, so I guess you could see how that would be a pretty wierd and funny sight to someone like me. lol

Thanks pinky75910 :)

I also do watch much sports, but I have seen pictures of him doing it. He also did in in a slow-mo shot in "Space Jam."

I never watched any of these NBC cartoon shows and now im glad i didnt my fav shows like linkara where digiemon and power rangers yea! has anyone onehre watcher power rangers samuria it was made my nickiliod sorry for typeo it can't be good

I have watched some Shinkenger does that count?

Um.....Guys I think we may have a bigger problem than Mighty Murdered Morphin Rangers.


I think the Enitity is making contact with us again...and I don't like this week's cryptic message. o____o

As a kid who watched all of the different networks' lineups, I can say from experience that the NBC Saturday Morning lineup was indeed terrible. Oddly enough, though, Spacecats was the one diamond in the rough. The comic here doesn't do it justice. It was very self-aware and constantly made jokes about the corners often cut in childrens' animation as well as in their own show. In the episode this comic comes from, one of them even points out that anthropomorphic cats dressed in archaeologist gear is a stupid idea and the team leader points out that it will work because they're in a kid's show and villains in shows like that are always pointlessly stupid.

I really wish that show had lasted.

Stop saying this sort of things makes you feel old! Every times you say that makes me feel old! And I'm about a year older than you!

Also I remember an even worse cartoon around the same time than the Pro one... it was about MC Hammer... so yeah...

I'll second that - I'm Linkara's age or older.

Ah, Saturday morning cartoons.. a more innocent time...

It doesn't make me feel old. It just annoys me that people worry about feeling old.

I don't know if it just goes against how you do things, but have you ever considered reviewing comics you think are good? Just to clarify, I love all of your reviews, when I check for new videos, yours are the first I look for, but being a critc can mean you review something good or even okay once in a while. And you don't have to do it serious either. I love to read,regular novels and graphic novels, but every once in a while I find something about a book that just cracks me up,irritates me, or makes so little sense that it takes me out of the story and even sours the mood a little. What I'm saying is maybe doing a review of a good comic with slight defaults, instead of constantly going to the bottom of the barrel. Just a friendly inquiry.

Linkara typically saves any comic recommendations for his blog/Twitter account/etc. In fact, he left a whole post of comics he recommends back there a few months ago, per my recollection.

Spawn #1 for example...

Linkara has already said that 'Atop the Fourth Wall' is where bad comics burn. He's had rare moments where he has recommended good comics, but he feels reviewing good comics would be boring because he wouldn't have anything to say about them other than they're good.

And he has reviewed comics that are low on the suckage meter and aren't that bad.

- The '80s & '90s did indeed have this weird trend of giving cartoons to basically any celebrity who wanted one...Honestly, after M.C. Hammer, Rosanne Barr, Rick Moranis, Kid 'N Play, Hulk Hogan, & of course, New Kids on The Block, among several others, ProStars probably comes off as one of the SANER ideas.

...Relatively speaking, of course. It's still incredibly FUBAR.

- Okay, if the laser bat is like a bat that becomes lined with lasers like barbed wire, that kind of makes sense. But a bat that SHOOTS lasers?...Then yeah, I'm with you on this one.

- Wait, do you actually remember Spider-Man Unlimited? I never saw it, but heard it had a bad reputation...Is it really as bad as it sounds?

- Honestly, the chairlift in the mall beat out the laser bat for me when it came to stupidity. I mean...WHY???

Anyhow, another stellar review! Can't wait for next week! 8D

Spider-Man Unlimited was a great show in it's own right, people just tend to hate it for not being Spiderman TAS, since the show started shortly after the previous one got cancelled

Funnily enough, I just caught an ep of it flipping through channels just this week. Yeah, it just doesn't do it for me. Spidey with a cape, and a Brooklyn accent? WTF? And yeah, Spidey TAS all the way.

Hey, now there's an NBC cartoon this comic forgot! Hammerman! *cries* And I wish I'd forgotten it, too!

I was watching that video and i rigured i would put this here since there are afew full pages on that on i think i know how his daughter died maybe she got to missing and worrying about dad and wondered off when the citystarted to shake... just my theory

Dude, you showed Ray Stantz running away. Not cool.

Its ok, it was from Casper the movie, so not many people probably saw it.

the lost beast has found a home.

If Makeover Fairy, P.I. actually existed, I might watch it...
Anyway, awesome review. Can't wait for the 150th episode next week!

Yes, Makeover Fairy P.I. can only be an improvement to these shows.
Nice to see that not every crap gets exported to Europe. I can't remember ever hearing of any of these shows. Even 90's Kid would be ashamed of this crap (... he would make a good Fairy P.I. sidekick)

We were a very lucky generation when it came to Saturday morning cartoons. Kids WB & Fox kids were good to us and now look at them. Fox no longer has a kids block of shows anytime anymore & the WB I cant even say for sure what happened to them.

I would blame the internet and the 24 hour cartoon networks but you see how that could be considered a tad hypocritically.

Wow now I feel old. Great review

Or maybe we were too lucky yet we were the unfortunate type of crowd who enjoyed the Saturday morning programs from Fox Kids and Kids' WB who then got screwed by the idiots who, even in their prime moments of successes of their respective shows, thinks we give them enough recognition to keep our favorite shows on the air and are needed to be replaced by some lame shows they come up or being cancelled 'cause none of us no longer watches them (rriggghhttt; the obvious reason of why Warner Bros. believes we don't like Animaniacs which it tells me they're denying of the fanbase Animaniacs help built in the 90s and they're were big and popular). Then again, we can't rely on repeated airings of the same shows' episodes to keep the viewers watch the networks weekly/daily.

To be honest, it's not an entirely bad thing when show's get cancelled. Many long-running show's have the tendency of starting to suck after several seasons. The creators may run out of ideas, or simply become sick and tired of working on the same show.

Mm, actually, I blame 9-11. Their sponsors lost a lot of money that day. That and the rise of CG kids entertainment.

This makes you feel old? Stating that you didn't watch the main networks but Fox and WB make me feel old, as I never watched their Saturday morning cartoons, as neither network existed when I was a kid; hell, the WB didn't start until I was in college. There were some shows I remember fondly; the Real Ghostbusters in particular comes to mind; but I haven't watched any of the Saturday morning ones as an adult and so have no idea if they hold up.

The celebrity shows I think started with Mr. T and the T Force, but the other big thing in 80s cartoons were cartoon versions of hit TV shows that always added some sci-fi or fantasy element (unless the show was already sci-fi or fantasy, like Mork and Mindy). Shows like the Punky Brewster cartoon, where she befriended a weird magical teddy-bear-like thing, or the Happy Days cartoon, where Fonzie, Richie and some of the others got lost in time. There were also many movie-based cartoons, like the aforementioned Real Ghostbusters, pretty much all based on sci-fi or fantasy comedies.

Wouldn't want to forget "The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries" now would we? Granny as a world famous detective who could solve your every mystery in half an hour?

Yes, I liked that show. DON'T JUDGE ME!

Actually, I was more partial to the CBS and ABC lineups myself, by which I mostly mean "Garfield and Friends", "Sonic the Hedgehog", and "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show". I don't even remember NBC having a Saturday lineup, and having watched this video, I'm glad I don't remember.

NBC was one of the first major networks to abandon the Saturday morning cartoon block. In retrospect, NBC's lineup during the 80s paled in comparison to CBS and ABC, but they did have some good programming during my youth, like The Smurfs, Gummi Bears before it moved to ABC, and Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Don't worry, I like The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries and it was a good show.

Kind of odd that Linkara's list of spin-off detective shows didn't have any other cartoons in it. For that matter, his knowledge of those kinds of shows (even ones I haven't heard of) is almost eerie...o_O

And yeah, I liked The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries as well, at least when I was a kid. Of course, being in the same company as Animaniacs & Freakazoid helped a bit.

I'll second those shows.

Ha! I was 4 years old when NBC Saturday morning line-up was canceled. I don't feel old at all!

3:43 Nobody likes you Culkin
8:15 He lost is superpowers in the comic almost as fast as he lost his charm in real life
11:53 That was actually a pretty good impression Linkara
12:32 considering the mother apparently left her child unattended near a chair lift, these probably are the laziest people on the planet.
14:48 NOBODY LIKES YOU CULKIN!
21:37 Dr Cox announced that joke Dead On Arrival
24:07 Okay ummm... This comic looks like a total cat-tastrophy? I've got a bad feline about this?
25:58 I would, but I didn't know she was in Showgirls till you just told me.
26:58 Hooray!

Good luck with Next week's review Linkara. Something tells me you'll need it >)

XD I've never heard of advertising something to be stolen.

And hey, to the credit of Pro Stars or whatever's opening sequence, at least they show both sports that Bo Jackson was really good at.

Hehe, looks like I watched a lot of your favorites when I was a kid as well: Batman, Spider-Man, Pokemon, and of course my all-time favorite, Digimon(Yay that you used the 2nd season title card ^^)

Speaking of, you should really review a Digimon comic some day(I know those existed, at least here in Finland. I'm not sure if it was originally manga, but here it was released in comic book form). And if you want any recommendations, well... Just review any Digimon Tamers comic, they all suck just like the series. I don't care what JesuOtaku says, I still hate Tamers for ruining my childhood and creating Renamon...

Digimon Tamers was the best series in the franchise!

And before you accuse me of anything, Renamon was dubbed by a man, and referred to as a male over here

Mightly Murdered Power Ringers...

The Yellow ranger has her brain showing...
The pink Ranger is in doggy style while the red Ranger is stepping on her head and the blue ranger behind a money bag which apparently belongs to the green ranger...

Is that a knife sticking in the title...

What the hell...

@Archane
Apparently that is a parody comic....Wikipedia has no info on it and all I could find small info of it,is threw a Google Search.

I figured but lets think about this. A parody comic of power rangers... and with those visuals! This can't be good.

Plus you only add to my fear that Wiki has nothing on it. This is Pumpkin Head Bloodwings Revenge level of fear here now!

I didn't thought the parody comic were reviewable by Linkara... Still this look awfully weird/disturbing...

Note how before picking it up, he stated how he hoped there were no side-effects from his wish that NBComics never existed.

Thus, side-effect = he now has a parody comic to review.

Wow, the brain thing stopped me in my tracks, and I wound up pausing just to read it look it up, and found a site for the old publisher, but nothing else. I f it's as creepy as it looks this might just top his whole Silent Hill bit.

From what I understand, it's a comic by Don Chin, who was a spoof publisher in the 90's. His company, Parody Press, also spoofed a number of Valiant and Image titles and made an elaborate spoof of the Death and Return of Superman.
How would I know that? Well...someone had to send in that book, heh heh heh...

You monster! :O

The Wish Kid only gets 1 wish a week.

And I always wondered why he didn't wish for infinite wishes. I even had it worked out as a kid. He'd wish for his wishes to last forever one week. Then the next week, he'd wish for infinite wishes.

Yeah IDK. The show was mainly a 'be careful what you wish for' kind of story, where he learned the adverse effects of every wish he made. It probably would have turned out bad.

In other words, it was Fairly Odd Parents. Except not nearly as good.

It's moments like this when I start to question just how I spent my youth.

I remember all of the shows featured in that comic book as comics (I do not, however, remember the jean model interview show... So at least there's that.) I didn't watch enough to remember anything beyond the premises about the show... But I do vaguely remember their theme songs. Once again, my brain proves to be able to remember music for inane intellectual property decades after they cease to exist.

Of the ones featured, that Pro Stars show is the one I remember slightly more so than the rest. But I think that wasn't because I thought it was any good. I think it was because even when my age numbered in the single digits, I thought the idea of three horribly animated sports stars spending their off hours as super heroes was just beyond stupid. It was something akin to watching a train wreck. I didn't want to watch, but I couldn't look away from the carnage. And for some reason, Bo Jackson's propensity for referring to himself in the third person has stuck with me beyond any other aspect of the show, to the point where that's the first place my mind goes when I hear him mentioned.

Don't get me wrong. I liked a lot of shows growing up that, with benefit of hindsight, the most charitable thing I can say for them now is that they were moderately well-constructed commercials for toy lines. But NBC seemed to corner the market on just utter dreck.

I grew up on those shows too.


And I also never watched the other networks.

A teaser comic, huh? I don't like teases that won't let me finish the storyline. Then they make you watch their stupid television show or buy them a diamond tiara and then, finally, you can finish... or not. Fucking teases.

Makeover Fairy, PI? Hell, yeah! I would watch that show every day of my life.

Your feeling old talking about 90s era Saturday morning cartoon blocks makes me feel REALLY old for the fact that I remember 80s era Saturday morning cartoon blocks.

And at about 25:40...is that supposed to be Screech?! He looks more like Butt-Head. Or like he got himself really wasted before meeting up with Zach and Slater.

As much as the 80s and 90s programming was really were a weird era in many ways, they were, after all, the shows that we can figure that the people in charge of these shows (great shows like Animaniacs and Batman: TAS) really showed they cared and worked hard to present the best quality the can. The majority of viewing compared to today's really is debatable when we - my generation - says today's cartoons and shows sucks while today's generation says our cartoons and shows sucks. After looking at the middle of the argument of this subject, I can say we're all equal and do share similarity with the exception that we didn't have the internet back in our day, and this generation is very lucky to have grown up in this era where they can spend searching on these things. Who knows. Eventually, when the next generation arises and have their shares of programing, today's generation are gonna be in our shoes complaining the same thing and the next. And less we forget, the generations before ours probably went through the same road. Ironic, doesn't it?

:D dude wins an internet.

This was awesome!

Chip and Pepper......wow I haven't heard those names in a very long time. Great review as always Linkara!

Why the hell does the indigenous Brazilian kid have a Mexican name?
Furthermore, last time I checked, "buon" is indeed a real word. IN ITALIAN!

So you have a wish? Will you make a contract with me?

(edited because the lack of unicode characters means I can't put the Kyubey face here.)

Excuse me, but I must have a bit of stupidrium in my eye because that looked like it said Mightily Murdered Power Rangers.
It. . . What?
IT DID!?

Sweet mother of mercy.

Actually, you did have something in your eye. It says Mightily Murdered Power RINGERS.

Even weirder o___0

It's very apropos."Ringer" means similar. As in a ring going back to the start.

This video has a couple of laughs but its funnier when you go after modern comics and not cartoons and psa's.

It didn't show the kid giving the dog powers because it already had 'em.
