I grew up with a obsession for the cartoon teenage mutant ninja turtles. They were easily the biggest influence in my young life. I felt like it was unique and original compared to other cartoons. Unfortunately after the turtles went off the air I didn't quite notice that because of their success there were now more and more tv shows trying to capture the same type chemistry with different crime fighting animals with minimal success. I of course thought they were all amazing but now that I look back I can see that they were all basically the same show! Well here are some clips from four examples so you can make up your own mind. (spoiler: I'm right ;) )
The theme song doesn't get old! I'd be lying if i said I don't have a turtles tshirt in my closet
Probably the worst offender I mean they know karate and love pizza? pretty low
man. This is probably the weirdest of theme song especially with the less than exciting announcer...oh japan cartoons...so so weird
What I remember about this was that some evil scientist injects soldier with shark dna or something and they become wise cracking crime fighting sharks. yea it's pretty dumb.
Oh boy, I remember loving this as a kid but looking back it's pretty much the same formula as the other shows wise cracking ducks who fight crime. oh but they play hockey though...so....yea..oh and their ducks with hair who knew that was possible!!!???
I love titles that pretty much sum up what the shows about. Well this one is about biker mice and they're from mars! Shocking right?? oh and did i mention they are wise crackin!?? Anyway....something I noticed about all these intros is just how much blaring metal is in each intro. No wonder I have a strange love of hard rock and metal music I was brainwashed from childhood.
So i realize this may be the least interesting blog post to some, but i found it oddly funny looking back at these "classic shows". I thought it was worth a blog post though I'm sure some would disagree. Oh well!
