Les snorky

As a kid in the 80s and early 90s, I would occasionally catch this cartoon show on TV. While I do not believe it is as well-known as "The Smurfs," "Scooby-Doo" or "The Jetsons" from Hanna-Barbera, it is one of my childhood favorites.

The "Snorks" is basically an underwater version of "The Smurfs," creatures that live under the sea and use their built-in snorkels to make music. Not much of a story-line, but adorable and entertaining for a kid 10 and under.

While obscure, it is still better than the cartoons dished out for kids nowadays.

Grade B

Standout series about funny-looking but friendly creatures in an exotic environment. What's not to like?

This was a cartoon that only the 80s could provide.

You can almost hear the pitch for it "Imagine the Smurfs, underwater, for the MTV generation."

And that is kind of exactly what you got, the smurfs that did more than that annoying "la la la" song, set underwater, in a vibrant 80s color world. What kid couldn't love that?

This was my favorite show back when I was little. The bright, vibrant colors made it easy to hold my attention, but it was also a cute little show with cute little situations for the characters to get into. I'm 17 now, and believe it or not, The Snorks come up as a frequent topic of conversation whenever my friends and I talk about shows we used to watch. There is only one thing we can't figure out. What, exactly, is a Snork?

They loose their blue color and adapt to the water. Seriously, I loved this show it was cool, it featured four freinds (Fred Jones like leader All Star, the tomboy, Casey, Tooty who comunicates with .....well....toots and the Daphaine wanna be uh Daffeny in missadventure under the sea. All Star's DOG, Occy and brillient Uncle Galeo get in the act as well.

My favorite character was Junior, he was Brainy Smurfs underwater clone, well if Brainy was spoiled and rich. I miss this show it was awesome.
