Captain Planet
 

I used to love Captain Planet

It was an awesome show and today I was at work thinking and if Captain Planet came out as a new cartoon now , or was even re-made, it would probablly be really successful with all the focus on " Going Green " lately.

I loved Captain Planet as a kid. I agree. I really wish people were more aware about the importance of our earth and how we are responsible for taking care of it. But instead they watch Hannah Montana.:roll: That's our future.

It was a nice cartoon show with moral messages....too bad they dont make cartoon like those anymore...

Sigh!! I always wished one of those rings!!!...

Hearth! Now that was one cheesy cartoon, cheesy but ballsy having a episode about Aids

I loved this show as a kid. I thought it had good messages about saving the Earth at the time even though I think people are getting a little too worked up over it with the so-called global warming crap that isn't even real.

LOL that's so true.






definantly. We do have problems like polluting the ocean and stuff like that but not Global Warming.

Captain Planet ugg use to be on before Ninja Turtles. Would watch the end of it before Turtles.

lol i forgot about those , they were awesome now that i think about it

Capt Planet was one of my fave shows as a kid. I even had all the power rings. *L* IMO tho the series went a bit down hill when the animation changed and Margot Kidder took over the role of Gaia.

The last ep I saw (I know there are more but this is the last I remember) was in the final season. The kids LOST to Looten Plunder due to the fact that Looten was LEGALLY cutting down an old growth forest. He had paper work and everything and the Planeteers could only stand there and watch.

Kids watching shows made for kids? The world is doomed.

So, I take it you enjoy that show? Do you have children of your own?

Since the show has some fans here, you might like to know that it's coming to DVD in April.

I have a niece but that doesn't really matter.

It's a standard kids show. No better or worse than other kid shows from my day.

Well, all I was saying is Captain Planet was a hell of a better role model than Hannah Montana.

Ehhhhh. I don't know.

Miley maybe not but on the show she's all about being yourself and chasing your dreams and stuff like that. Most kid shows have a meaning or moral to them, People just like to bash new shows and act like their day was so much better when it was basically the same thing but in a more obvious package.

True. I mean, Im sure the show has good messages. It is Disney after all. But, Captain Planet isnt hitting a bong or getting skanky in photo shoots.

But that's not exactly on the show. I know my niece couldn't care less about Miley Cyrus outside of the show and I doubt most kids her age are tagging around TMZ for the latest scandal.

Whatever. Captain Planet right? Hurray for old TV shows.
