Project Geeker Aired: 1996 Seasons: 1 Network: CBS quote:The show parodied the style of action-adventure cartoons. Set in the future, it was based around a genetic shapeshifter experiment known as Project GKR (Geno-Kinetic Research), who had been stolen by Lady MacBeth (a short-tempered cyborg with a bionic arm) before he could get the programming he needed to be a deadly and powerful weapon at the hands of the evil Mister Moloch, head of Moloch Industries. Due to the lack of his final programming, "GeeKeR" is left to be a totally random, permanently salivating, four-fingered klutz. He only occasionally manages to use his powers to any full extent, a blessing and a threat to his friends and their enemies. Lady MacBeth and her partner-in-crime Noah, a baseball cap wearing intelligent Tyrannosaurus rex, must now prevent Moloch and GeeKeR's creator Dr. Maston from ever obtaining GeeKeR at all costs.

Brave Starr Aired: 1987 Seasons: 1 Network: NBC quote:Marshal BraveStarr (voiced by Pat Fraley) - The title character; a Native American who can call upon the power of "spirit animals", enabling him briefly to perform superhuman feats. The Eyes of the Hawk enhances his vision and can also grant him an aerial view of the adjacent area. The Ears of the Wolf gives him super-human hearing. The Strength of the Bear gives him super-human strength. The Speed of the Puma gives him super-human speed. The Strength of the Bear grants BraveStarr strength sufficient to destroy stone or support steel bridges, whereas the Speed of the Puma allows him speeds akin to comic-book characters Quicksilver and the Flash. In addition to his animal powers, he has electronic equipment such as a computerized visor and a two-way radio. BraveStarr also carries a "Neutra-laser" pistol and a "Trans-freezer" rifle, and the badge on his shirt can shield him at need. Although called "Protector of Peace" and "Champion of Justice", he usually acts in the former role, preferring to serve as a mediator in any conflict. He often seeks peaceful resolution to every problem, unless confronted by the series' periodic villains.

All I remember from the Felix movie was the part where they were chased by a tribe of head hunters. But the headhunters would also take the heads from other headhunters, leading to some having a huge stack of heads. And the heads had wings and would try to fly away to escape. It was an odd movie.

I refuse to believe that Project Geeker isnt a weird internet hoax. My choice is something that I barely remember (would have been 4 or 5 at the time), save for the fact I used to eat quesadillas at the time it was on and the one time i caught a bit of it playing in a Mexican airport. Some kind user on the X-E forums identified it ages ago. The Comic Strip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuDSDtgEoAU Aired: Sept 1987 - Dec 1987 Season: 1 (barely) Network: First Run Syndication (Fox 11 in L.A.) Rankin-Bass' last cartoon work, it was a 30 minute show that showcased 4 different series. Not quite an anthology and not quite a Hour Of Power type bundle, it operated under the idea that you were watching Tv in the same way you would read comics from your local paper. The show varied which series were being shown that day (usually 2 per airing) so if you had a favorite you weren't guaranteed to get it. As far as I know, no toys were made or any supplemental media produced, so it's not surprising it didn't last too long. The four shows were (edited from the Wiki): The Mini-Monsters: The Muppet Babies ripoff, Human twin siblings Sherman and Melissa find themselves sent to summer camp for one year. Camp Mini-Mon turns out to be attended by monster kids who are offspring of usually famous monsters: Count Dracula's son Dracky, Frankenstein's son Franky, The Wolf Man's son Wolfie, The Creature from the Black Lagoon's son Gill, The Mummy's son Mummo, the Invisible Man's son Blanko, Klutz (who may or may not be Godzilla's son), Jynx the Witch, and Merlin's son Melvin. Street Frogs: TMNT, by way of puns relying on Hip Hop and Frogs. Depicting the teen-aged hijinks of a gang of street-smart frogs named Big Max, Spider, Moose The Loose, "Honey Love" Loretta, and Dr. Slick. Each episode contains a musical number. Apart from Rankin-Bass regular Bob McFadden, this segment featured an African-American cast. Karate Kat: the Hanna Barbera ripoff, A private investigator cat uses his karate to fight crime in his town which is usually in the form of gang leader Big Papa and his two lackeys named Boom-Boom Burmese and Sumo Sai. When working at for McClaws's Detective Agency run by his boss Katie "Big Mama" McClaw, you know what, I'm not gonna subject you to all the cat puns. He works with cats, they have cat names, it's a mess just go watch the hip hop Frogs show. TigerSharks: Grew up in the shadow of its big bros Thundercats and Silver Hawks, A group of powered up human/sea animal hybrids consisting of Mako, Walro, Dolph, Octavia, Lorca, Bronc, Angel, and Gupp become involved in underwater adventures that has them facing off against villains like T-Ray and Captain Bizzarly. Each episode consisted of two parts.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Aired: 1990 Seasons: 2 Network: Fox quote:The series picks up five years after The Great Tomato War (much as the film Return Of The Killer Tomatoes did), where tomatoes are banned. However that has not stopped Dr. Putrid T. Gangreen from engaging in his experiments. Gangreen's ultimate goal is to rule the world and he will not let anyone stop him. But his most successful experiment may very well be his undoing. Tara Boumdeay, a tomato turned human, runs away from Gangreen, taking along her 'Brother', the fur-covered F.T., whom she passes off as a dog. They befriend Chad Finletter (nephew of the Great Tomato War veteran, Wilbur Finletter) who, after saving the pair from a tomato attack, gets Tara a job at his uncle Wilbur's Tomatoless Pizza Parlor. She shares their secret with Chad regarding the two of them being tomatoes and Chad vows to help them against whatever Gangreen has planned. That is where everyone stands at the start of the first episode, "Give A Little Whistle", where the evil Doctor sets his new plans into motion (and would continue through the first season).

Riatsala posted:I thought Road Rovers got at least three seasons but nope, 13 episode run. Sad. Trying to make sense of seasons with most of these old cartoons is very weird. It's not uncommon to see a show with only one season, but had like 60+ episodes. Then you have even more confusing cases with stuff like Darkwing Duck which had 3 season, but season 1 and 2 aired concurrently on both Disney and ABC for a grand total of 91 episodes over 2 years.

It was only dropped because they ran out of money(and Dark Angel was cancelled after only 2 seasons anyway).
