Talk about cartoons that was shortlive, underrated,haven't gain popularity and got cancel.

The New Adventure of He-Man:In 1989, Mattel came up with plan for a new He-man toyline, Title "He-Man" The animation series air in 1990, done by Jetlag Productions. There was some changes, characters from the original was left out. It was set the a future theme minus the barbaric theme. Classic He-man didn't like it and it was the time with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has air.

BraveStarr:Filmation last cartoon, it was creative, but wasn't popular. Mattel was blame for release the toyline to early.

Larry & Steve, Seth McFairlane got a better job in Family Guy.

Spaced Out, it was a The Jetsons rip off that didn't have interesting and realistic plots, boring dialogue, and on top of all, animation almost as bad as HHPAY.

Hearing link say "Exsssssue me" was kinda funny.

Larry & Steve was a pilot, and Fox liked it enough for it to serve as a basis for Family Guy (The title characters became Brian and Peter).

KidsWB aired a mere 4 episodes of Da Boom Crew before taking it off its Saturday schedule. Certainly not a success. And from what I saw, it wasn't that good either!

I never saw Calamity jane, but it was in the exact same situation.

DICE was deservedly taken off toonami after 8 weeks, not soon enough.

Personaly I felt that was one of the most underated What a Cartoon shorts ever. That thing had me in stitches. But it kind of survived in a way (IE. Family Guy)

You mean the one that was on Fridays on the Super Mario Super Show? Considering those were packaged as a single show, there were actually quite a few epsiodes.

Spumco's The Ripping Friends. Getting Ren and Stimpy approved for Nickelodeon was tough, but getting The Ripping Friends approved for major network television must have been an all-out brawl.

The episodes were edited and most of them never aired. Including the one dating episode where two of the guys kiss.

Yeah I do. I should of really explained that but I'm too lazy and stuff. Ok, breif explaination of the show:

Super Mario was on Monday - Thursaday and Zelda was on Friday.

The first season went on for 13 weeks, so Zelda had 13 episodes.

The 2nd season of Super Mario Bros Super Show didn't have Zelda in it, I guess becuase it was unpopular... and "crap"

butt ugly martians- it was just to plain. The only good thing about it was the theme song. which most people liked.

Well actually that was pretty damned popular in the UK (where it premiered) but after they couldn't back a secound season due to buisness problems (I think the company went bust and there was no-one to pick the lincece up or something) the populatity droped tremedoislly.

Its still a bit popular though. The magazine now re-prints the old comics and the videos and DVDs can be found in bargin bins.

It never really took of in the US though.

1. Was on an obscure channel.
2. The characters lacked the chemistry of Peter, Ray, Egon, & Winston and were too polictally correct.
3. Was made to sell toys.
4. The designs for the new Proton Packs & Traps were terrible.
5. Only Egon, Janine, & Slimer returned.

IIRC there was only one season of the super mario bros. super show,,they then went to NBC for "the adventures of super mario bros. 3/super mario world" while the zelda characters were moved to captain N 's universe (where i might add, link and zelda's characterizations were much better, and we didnt have that tinkerbell ripoff sprite running around either).

G.I. Joe Extreme and Street Fighter: The Animated Series

The first seasons were ok at best, but the second seasons were crap!

**Wanted** · 06-10-2005, 09:03 PM

Da Boom Crew
Alien Racers

What else? Whatever it is, it's not important.

Wasn't it on a weekly block of morning animation where it aired along side Beast Wars, Reboot and G.I. Joe Extreme? The whole block were remakes and spin-offs and the fact that two of them had the word Extreme in them didn't help. Not to mention they had to compete with the popular Beast Wars which I believed occupied two time slots.
