Yet another amazing video by the Nostalgia Critic. Simply amazing.
I think everyone had a weird relationship with the Captain Planet show. I didn't particularly care for it as a kid myself, but always found myself watching it. Thank you for exposing the show for what it really was: Crap.

I do not envy you, Nostalgia Critic. I would not ever want to remember this enormous pile of shit.
There are so many times during those clips where I wanted to beat myself until I forgot my own mother. The "heart ring" is indeed retarded and God damn that stupid theme song all to Hell. And that AIDS episode? What the flying fuck?!
If it weren't for your humor and graphics, I would never have made it through a single episode of this. A few of your voice over jokes fell flat, but I would still call this a wonderful attack on an easy and deserving target. Well done.

Brilliant as always NC. I'm convinced you are why the internet was created.

Not even the names make sense. Wheeler? BULLSHIT. That's not a name.
And as a Russian-born person, I can say that Linka isn't a name. It should be Lena (l-ye-nuh) or Lenka (l-yen-kuh), but LINKA ISN'T A FUCKING NAME.

BEST.EPISODE.EVER.
I'm dead serious. That may be because it's the first show that actually had some nostalgia value to me( I was too young to remember the rest).
...but seriously, this was awesome. You,my friend, are God!

I was forced to watch this pile because it was on before WCW Pro Wrestling back in the day. Man this show was garbage. I enjoyed the review, but felt you missed one major storyline. Captain Pollution. Yeah, the stereotypical "Join all supervillians together to form one being of evil." Ugh, this was godawful. The only thign that made it better was that directly afterwards I got to see Bobby Eaton beat up a 5'3 wrestler by the name of Adrian Byrd every week. God Bless WCW.

It sucks as an adult, but admit it! You all loved it when you were kids!
Maybe that was just me.

Flashbacks of a horrible TV watching, childhood experience. Thanks Nostalgia Critic!
P.S. And to my everlasting shame, I was a fan of Beakman's World as a kid. Then again this was the day before "Bill Nye the Science Guy".

Interesting. I remember seeing the AIDS episode as a kid and having no idea what the hell was going on.

I really hated this show back in the day. I watched reruns of it on Cartoon Network sometimes. Man, that show sucked hard.

When you talked about "Heart", I thought the band Heart was going to break in with "Barracuda".
