I only ever watched a few episodes of the shows but I had both Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaur toys. Good stuff man, right in the childhood. Great episode.
I sat giggling the whole time. I used to watch this as a kid and had no idea there was an overarching storyline. Same with the Extreme Dinosaurs.
To continue the trend of half animal/half man posts. I'll just post a certain theme song.
Let's rock...and ride!!!

Well there was Gargoyles and... I think that was it...thehorror2 said:
Like almost everyone else I remember that I watched this show as a kid, but I couldn't tell you a damn thing about it. I also had some of the toys, the Hammerhead and the Tiger Shark I think. Now, having been reminded of the show, I am clearly reminded of how bad TV was during my childhood, so thanks for that.
I think this is like the Chicken & Egg dilemma. Which came first, the sharks or the mice?A3sir said:
I'm saying that while being about 90% sure that BMFM came first - but it does speak to the fairly interchangeable nature of both properties. In both cases you had some me-too cartoon animals made to look tough in the vain hopes of stealing the Ninja Turtles' crown.
The people that voiced their human allies worked at on of our local theaters, which i participated in heavily(one that did more plays for children) when I was in high school and so while they were recording in a satellite studio for some of this show. Specifically Jim Hoggit's character.
Ziv Zulander and the Bots Master. It's basically the same deal cept it's robots in the far off distant future of 2025 or something like that.Trishbot said:
Also pretty sure the main bad guy was named Paradim also... Not very creative in the 90's.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's a reference to this [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys]Leemaster777 said:
OT: Come to think of it, I think Bob summed up a lot of 90's shows there. "Generic as hell" is probably how I'd describe SWAT Katz (which yes, I did track down and watch). It's also the reason I could barely remember Extreme Dinosaurs before I saw that little clip. And probably the other reason I haven't gone and hunted down Biker Mice from Mars.
That, and dread of what horrors they might bring back to the fore O_O
Oh wow, I remember Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs... albeit barely, since I haven't seen either since I was younger...
Still, maybe they could go a reboot? ...Maybe.

Would the cartoon adaptation of Darkstalkers count?Trishbot said:
Holy shit, Extreme Dinosaurs!
I completely forgot that they were a thing, and I can't believe I enjoyed both shows. Then again, it was the 90s and I probably didn't know any better. :/

I can't stand nostalgia. It's really annoying how people push for this kind of thing. I have been bitten by nostalgia, and it's never a good thing. I recently purchased the WildCATS cartoon on Amazon Instant Video and I remember it being awesome... and it wasn't. Though that theme song was pretty awesome, haha. Anyhoo, great video Bob, keep up the good work, even if I don't care for the content it was still an interesting way to fill free time at work.
