From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

What are some of your favorite childhood TV shows that in retrospect were a bit crazy (describe them as crazily as possible :P).

Mine are probably Rugrats, in which a group of small children somehow go on these dangerous adventures. Oddly DHS never takes notice even though their parents are CONSTANTLY losing them.

The second is probably Pokemon. Or that show where preteens leave home to travel the wilds and kidnap sentient beings. They then use them in dog fights to gain medals.

Captain Scarlet: We fuck up first contact with an alien race and one man dies constantly for it. Also awesome SFX.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

D: I have never heard of that! Sounds like a combo of Star Trek and Doctor Who.

G.I. Joe.

Supposedly it's about a top-secret military unit, but they don't actually put any effort into the top-secret part. Half of the cast dress like members of a Village People tribute band, the other half look like rejected designs for X-Men characters, and there's an episode where the head of the evil terrorist organization steals a super-laser just so he can use it to carve a picture of himself into the moon. Also, there are ninjas.

If the above paragraph doesn't give you an idea of what this show is like, then nothing will.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

Huh. The only thing I knew about that show was they gave safety lessons to kids at the end (?).

Re: From Books to TV Shows

Jimmy Neutron. It seemed really out there on rewatches. Still like Fairly Odd Parents, Powerpuff Girls, and Dexter's Lab, though. They are all out there too, but in a good way.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

I loved Dexter's Lab. But never got much into the other ones. :(

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[siofrabunnies]

Angry Beavers. Two beaver brothers, one mellow, the other high-strung, live together after getting kicked out of their parents' house for being too old. Adventures include salmon spawning season, Mexican wrestling, and helping their best friend (a tree stump) find his biological family.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

I was gonna mention Angry Beavers! And specifically the spawning episode. How damn weird. Or the episode with the log treats they used to eat. I actually had an Angry Beaver toy that would 'chew' when you pulled the string on it.

Wishbone

a plethora of classic novels as abridged to 10 minutes and starring a Jack Russel Terrier.

Magic School Bus

worlds loopiest teacher takes her kids on field trips to places like a volcano and a classmate's GI tract.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

Definitely Magic School Bus. Most inconceivable part? She only had like 8students!

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[philstar22]

Still love both of those. Wishbone in particular is awesome.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[weaselbee]

CatDog. I don't even know how to describe it.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[kaijinscendre]

I LOVED Catdog. And I don't understand it either. *hums theme song in head*

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[greenvelvetcake]

All alone in the world with a little CatDog!

Years later, that theme song still gets stuck in my head.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[philstar22]

This is definitely one that I enjoyed when younger that just seems odd now.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

The hijinks of conjoined feline and canine twins.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[dethtoll]

Batman: The Animated Series.

A man dresses up like a bat and beats up criminals because his parents were killed when he was a kid.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[rubbertea]

Fucking Ed Edd & Eddy. Still one of the weirdest things I've ever watched.

A bunch of kids with unnatural skintones and green/blue tongues are the only inhabitants of a crappy suburban neighbourhood and spend their time doing physically impossible things that don't even make sense.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[spacebabie]

These characters were like baby versions of themselves and it looks like they are going on these adventures with a lot of pop culture references of the time, but they never left the nursery it was all in their head.

This creepy centaur dude orders this gargoyle to ride a bunch of dragons and kidnap a bunch of colorful talking equines and uses his black energy to change them into dragons and the others talk to this dude who was into mushrooms and got some rainbow to stop him. Oh and there was this Busby Berkley style number with singing seahorses.

These little dudes lived under the sea and they were colorful and had tubes growing out of their heads.

Kids had magical talking Rubix cube.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[ninthlife]

How has no one mentioned Ren & Stimpy? Or Rocko's Modern Life. Now THOSE were some fucked up shows, especially R&S.

My earlier memories include David the Gnome where a doctor gnome rode around the forest on a fox named Swift delivering medicine.

I also remember watching Adventures of Little Koala from my playpen. It was my first taste of anime and even now I remember how emotionally charged that show was. It was the first time I saw cartoons expressing real emotions and pain the way people do in real life.

[hands4healing]

Four live-action anthropomorphic creatures (Fleegle the Beagle, Bingo the purple Gorilla, Drooper the Lion, and Snorky the Elephant) formed a band, hosted a comedy show, and pretended they were The Monkees. (The Banana Splits)

The adventures of a daring evil dude, and his snickering dog, in biplanes, chasing down a pigeon in an attempt to get his coded messages to keep winning whatever war they're fighting. (Dasterdly and Muttley in the Flying Machines)

A ghost who dresses like an American Revolutionary War participant, and hangs out with four kids (or three kids?), and solves ghost mysteries, a la Scooby Doo. And the ghost is scared of other ghosts. (The Funky Phantom)

Ren and Stimpy, of course, was delightfully on crack.

The Animaniacs. Three little...creatures...causing havoc all over a studio lot? Yay.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[cakemage]

A group of outcast children from all over the solar system and two of their teachers end up lost in space on a sentient spaceship with a malfunctioning, ADD gynoid. Also, the ship can only be controlled by children and sometimes George Takei turns up to chew the scenery.

Three siblings of undetermined species live in a water tower on a studio lot and enjoy sowing chaos wherever they go. Among their friends are a singing cat and a stupid dog who are BFFs, a really sexy nurse whose hips don't lie, an annoying hippo couple, a sarcastic old squirrel and her wide-eyed innocent nephew, and a demon spawn toddler with idiotic, neglectful parents who, at the end of every episode punish the innocent dog who has spent the entire short risking life and limb to keep their horrible little hell-brat safe.

An old, miserly curmudgeon takes care of his three nephews and they spend a lot of time out adventuring and treasure-hunting because life in their hometown is like a hurricane and sometimes they just need a break from that. Also, the nephews' scouting manual is basically the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

A scientist comes up with a way to turn ordinary dogs from different countries into anthropomorphic superheroes who fight crime and tell borderline-risque jokes.

Re: From Books to TV Shows

[(Anonymous)]

Four sexy teenagers or young adults and one genetically engineered kid with a speech impediment fly around in a spaceship, fighting aliens who worship an evil space ghost, and occasionally getting themselves out of a jam by turning into a tornado or setting themselves and their ship on fire.

H.R. Pufnstuf. I mean, come *on*.

Basically - a fairly odd little kid gets sucked into LSD-trippy land.
