Kidd Video

No need to summarize the plot...that's already been done here.

Ok, granted, I don't really remember this show that well since, like most quality programs, it died out quickly and I don't think it was ever recycled through reruns. Nonetheless, I remember that it appealed to both my bizarre sense of humor and my love for music. Tons of off-the-wall humor and random scattered unidentifiable hilarious characters made this cartoon stand out among all the cutesy Saturday morning sludge of its time, and each episode was permeated with both original and popular 80s pop hits. I suppose this is a program you could either love, hate, or just not understand well enough to form an opinion. Regardless, it's doubtful you'll ever have an opportunity to see this show again even though it's one of the few cartoons of the '80s that could actually fit in with the countless cartoons out today that were obviously created while the cartoonists and writers were listening to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" or something along those lines.

NOTE: CONTAINS INFO OF TWO SONG TITLE, FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED.

For me, this was one of the seminole kids' shows growing up. It had everything that a kid could want: energy, humour, talented actors, good music, and - best of all - fantasy. I mean, kids being able to travel to another dimension and get all these magical powers and be able to beat evil no matter what the odds were wherever they went ? Yep, it was definitely fun. My favourite songs from this show were " TLC " and " Video Romeo ". I highly recommend this series to anyone else, if only because it - despite criticisms of it - ten times better than even the best of some of the crud passing itself off as children's TV shows nowadays. So hats off to Robby Rist and the others' involved in the show. Clearly, you are smart enough to know quality work when it comes along to get involved in it.

This was saturday morning's answer to MTV. Get a rock n roll band make them into cartoons, stop the villan that sent them there, and you have what has to be a cartoon show that helps symbolizes what the 80's were all about! music videos cartoon style! I wish they air reruns of this show, it was way cool when I remembered it, and now that the 80's are coming back, they should, if not, must bring it back on T.V. Maybe so another new generation of kids will enjoy this the same way we did almost 2 decades ago!

I loved this show as a kid, and I still love it today. Kidd Video is one of those Underrated gems that got overshadowed by the bigger cartoons, like Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Thundercats to name a few. The concept rocked, the stories were fun, the music was epic and the cast was exceptional.

Kidd Video not only displayed the fashion and style of the early/mid 80s, but also featured dozens of Top Ten Hits, which played occasionally in the background of each cartoon. These hits usually spanned from 1983-1984. Additionally, a live-action music video by the band was shown after each episode before the ending credits. Although forgotten by the networks and syndicates, the bulk of us who grew up in the early 80s remember this show well.
