I remember both shows too.

Street Sharks even had a section near the end of it's series where they teamed up with the Dino-Vengers (a precursor to the Extreme Dinosaurs; basically the same characters, but different origins, etc.). Likely done to test-the-waters for the coming series.

I wonder if people these days experience some sort of physical trauma if they use capital letters in their writing.

I remember both shows too, amazingly enough. They actually made it to our TVs, and of course I watched them. I liked the Extreme Dinosaurs a lot better but I can't remember why. Action figures? Nah, I have a Street Sharks Rox somewhere around. He's badass.

maybe some sort of tribute to poet e. e. cummings.

I think the toys were much better than the cartoons, and I'm going to leave it at that.

I Definitely remember the Street Sharks, but I almost forgot about Extreme Dinosaurs. I had the Pterodactyl, and I remember he had a big scope over his eyes which you could look through and aim the weapon he had with. Loved that.

I still have all four sharks and all four dinosaurs and a bunch of villians! Those were definately the coolest figures I had ever seen when they came out. I never saw the tv shows though. I didn't even know there was a tv show until years later. I don't feel like I missed much though.

Well, yeah you kinda did. As they were pretty good (IMO, at least).

What was good about them? Good origin story? good conflict? villian? I don't know much about them

Had some of each (in both series).

Street Sharks had 4 brothers mutated into Shark-Men by a mad scientist, who similarly mutated various sea creatures (into humanoid form) as his henchmen. And the Street Sharks had to fight them, while also trying to avoid trouble with the public (who the scientist had believing the Sharks were evil).

Extreme Dinosaurs had an alien criminal come to Earth during prehistoric times, and he used advanced tech from his world to evolve some dinosaurs into humanoid form (the first group -- of varying dinosaurs -- not wanting to go along with his schemes, while the other -- a trio of Raptors -- were fine with it).

And those are basically the start-offs for the shows.

Hmm, how long did these series last?

I think Street Sharks ran new episodes in intervals for 2 or 3 years (for something like 80, or so, episodes). And Extreme Dinosaurs had, like, 1 year of new eps. (something like 62, or so) aired pretty much all in one run.

But have to check up on that.

The usual 90's mutation sorta buffed up cartoons:


I still have my toys from those two series, i remember waking up sunday morning (yes in my area at the time those shows came on sunday morning) to watch those two series alongside Biker Mice from Mars (I think a little later on) and to finish the morning off with The Tick and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Then I would go outside and play with my friends.
