The Danger Team

The concept for "Danger Team" is pretty insane and you wonder why such a show was even attempted in the first place. Perhaps the inexplicable success of the California Raisins has something to do with it.

One day, Cheryl (Kathleen Beller) and a friend see a meteorite fly through their window and some blue goo is on it. Oddly, they don't think much of this. Even odder...three play creatures later climb off the rock and they turn out to be sentient creatures who can assume any shape very, very, very quickly. The biggest negative is that they are the size of hamsters. And, when Cheryl's friend is kidnapped, these tiny things turn into action heroes and help Cheryl rescue her friend.

This is a show that kids probably would have liked...adults...well, not so much. I found the creatures annoying (much like the Raisins) and the plot idea utterly ridiculous. No wonder the networks decided not to green light this as a regular series. Plus, given the time needed for stop-motion, I wonder if they even could have made a weekly series like this had it been approved.
