Kidd Video

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.

I loved this show since it's inception in 1984. I always had a crush on Bryan Scott who played Kidd Video. The songs were catchy and I always enjoyed singing along with them. It almost always put a smile on my face and was the very reason why I would wake up on a Saturday morning.

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 totally agree with the one positive review of this cartoon (how can anyone say that this is the "worst" Saturday morning cartoon? By the nature of being a Saturday morning cartoon, they are usually just as cheesy as this was -- especially after watching "Strawberry Shortcake" or "Reboot"). This show was cheesy, but spawned several catchy tunes that I can still remember fondly. And a cartoon that features Cousin Oliver (Robbie Rist) from the Brady Bunch can't be all bad ...

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.
