It will prob get canned here in the states since most shows really don't last to long what does everyone else think?

The Biker Mice From Mars



They were awesome when I was a kid, and they're still pretty badass today. Even my siblings liked them. Great show!

The new series should be premiering in the states soon, and for any pretentious "remake? Noooo" comments that may follow, the series is in continuity with the original and is set years after the war with the Plutarkians ended. Viewers will find out what happens to Limburger in later episodes, but neverthless, it's essentially the same show, same voice actors, and same characters. The new enemy is the Catatonians

What! Seriously? Wow I didn't realize the new series was a sequel to the old one.

Wonder what happened to Charlie, then. Isn't she not in this new show?

Or am I mistaken?

Charlie is still in the series, a little older now, with shorter hair and a bigger rack (I'm not joking, since this is a European funded show, there's less restriction on clevage), Limburger shows up in a guest role later, he was exiled to Earth after his downfall and now works for The Pit Boss alongside Doctor Karbunkle.

Finally, the official website has got a new layout and, more importantly, an episode guide, with many of them linking to small trailers.

OMFG!!! I love the Biker Mice!!! I used to have the VHS's of the show. MY cousin had all the action figures and I was sooooo jealous. This is the best thing EVER!

I'm not too keen on the animation. It's okay, it's just not what it used to be ya know? I'm definitely not diggin' the 3-D animation mixed in with the 2-D but oh well. I checked out that siteand I love it. I'm not really likin' how thin they made Vinnie nor how Modo looks, though. He just looks kinda like...oh I don't know...he looks like he would be a slow character and sure Modo is big but he wasn't hulky like that. He was just taller than the other ya know.

Zarius, this site is totally awesome! You're totally awesome!

No, do they want it to be CGI or not? Make up their minds.

Also I know the TMNT theme song sucks but this is worse. It looks like a freaking anime. Not to mention re-birthing a series that ripped off TMNT to begin with is just a bad idea.

Then again it looking like the new GI Joe series means kids will eat it up. What's next Street Sharks?

And did anyone see the horrid video game footage ugh. I guess I'm the only person on the forum who thinks Biker Mice From Mars sucked when I was a kid and continues to suck in the new millennium.

Biker Mice did it's own thing, it may have had the same humour as the original series, but that's where the buck stopped. You know what was refreshing? The fact that, unlike the TMNT, there was an obvious relationship between one of the Mice and the "April" of the series. Vinnie and Charlie was what I never got with things I wanted like April/Mikey.

Yeah, the video games suck, so did the SNES version as a matter of fact, even an avid BM fan like myself is'nt going to remotley defend them. I have however seen this series for the most part and it's as funny and solid as it used to be.

Besides, without Biker Mice, the UK would never have gotten Avenger Penguins, a show which was so embedded in Biker Mice style characters and tone with it's own excellent humour that it could'nt have been a rip-off of anything else.

Avenger Penguins? I gota look that up. Penguins are usually at least mildly amusing that or their really funny.

I watched it as a kid everyday but I haven't seen it recently. I just remember it as a TMNT spin-off series. But you've obviously seen it more recently so I'll take your word for it.

The series was from Cosgrove Hall, the studio responsible for Danger Mouse and Count Duckula, it's greatest succesess. They did some great stuff in the 1990s also, like AP and Fantomcat, but neither became quite as popular anywhere else except in the UK

The intro for AP is right here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxC823707T8

The odd thing is, the last episode of the new BM series claims to be the first "rock opera cartoon", which is plain bulls*it because the idea was actually used by Avenger Penguins first in one of the second season's final episodes, two of the opera's highlights can be seen here

"Bike Up"

"Doom's Song"

You're right the Biker Mice did do their own thing. Not once did I even consider that they were a spin off of TMNT. And I totally agree with you on the whole thing with wanting something to be acknowledged between April and one of the turtles and actually having something acknowledged between Charlie and Vinnie. Well, as close to being acknowledged as it could possibly be, ya know.

Avenger Penguins, huh? I will definitely have to check them out because if it's what you say it is then, hell, I'm sure I'll love it!

Of course, the only thing missing from the new series is the fact the Mice cause 9/11 practically every week by smashing Limburger's tower (no Limburger, and his stance on the new show means no tower)

I doubt you'll find Avenger Penguins anywhere beyond region two DVDs, but you should be able to track them down on torrents.
