Cadillacs And Dinosaurs

[Shreddhead]

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was a short lived CBS Saturday morning cartoon that aired from 1993 to 1994. The show took place in the distant future, in a world where an environmental cataclysm forced the human race to retreat underground. When humanity reemerged, the forces of nature, including extinct species such as dinosaurs, had reclaimed the earth. The best/ quickest explanation can be seen here in the show's intro:

The show was based off of Mark Schult's comic, "Xenozoic Tales", which shared the same premise.

I LOVED this show as a kid! And despite its small number of episodes, it has still stuck with me all these years. The fact that i was absolutely crazy about dinosaurs during my youth probably helped this. You man also remember the arcade game by the same name-still one of my favorite beat em ups.

I was wondering, does anyone else out there remember this show? I dont think a single one of my friends can recall it and im interested in seeing if anyone on the Drome managed to catch this back in the day.

I Tried to catch it, but it was always on at the same time as Martha Stewart, so I usually missed out... I DO however, have an old issue of the comics. The art was pretty well done, from what I do remember.

...and I liked Dinosaurs waaay before...

Not only do I remember it, but I cosplayed as Hannah Dundee at the last two Dragon*Cons.

Sadly, most people thought I was dressed as either a female Mal Reynolds or as Zoe Washburn from Firefly.

The Konami arcade game was kinda cool too!

Yes! so glad some other people remember this. Im pretty sure i would have picked up on the Hannah costume right away I even made a Jack Tenrec Shirt for a halloween costume, but it went unused bc no one recognized it.

And yes, the arcade game was a blast, who doesnt want to punch a velociraptor??

I didn't know it existed until 3 years ago and I would totally have loved the show as a kid had I known. Counting I watched it with no nostalgia I can say that it's a decent show. Sure it's far from great but counting it's an early 90s show, it's fairly decent and the only fairly decent dinosaur show that basically exists sadly.

This franchise has so much potential that I'm surprised it hasn't been touched, I've only read a handful of comics and they are fun. Even though I don't care about cars and some of the backstory is a bit lame its decent enough for some good old fun.

Well to their defense Hannah/Jack costumes are a bit generic and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs isn't exactly well known. I'd love to see pics of the costumes though.
