[@RoyStantz]

Like the New Generation Project Podcast said when they did two episodes on it, initial ratings for Thunder in Paradise were actually pretty good, and shortly after it began airing on TV in March 1994, it was rumoured that the show was up for renewal, and the good folks at Berk/Schwartz/Bonann Productions were looking at filming 30 more episodes in 1995. Surprisingly, despite rumours of a second season or a series of TV movies, Thunder in Paradise only lasted one season of 22 episodes, before being cancelled in November 1994. At the time it was circling the drain, Hogan apparently began floating the idea of either re-branding the show, or launching a new show starring himself, fellow WWE Hall of Famers Sting and Mr. T, and a female martial artist (possibly Cynthia Rothrock) as the main cast. Perhaps Thunder in Paradise's biggest contribution to pro wrestling was entirely through its filming location, Disney's Hollywood Studios, where WCW was then taping episodes of its shows Saturday Night and WorldWide. During production, Ric Flair and Eric Bischoff met with Hogan and successfully convinced him to sign with WCW in 1994. And that helped start the domino effect which created both the New World Order and the Attitude Era. Anyways, I remember watching Thunder in Paradise on ITV in the UK around early to mid 1995 while waiting for Gladiators to come on. One more thing of note, there was never really much in the way of actual threat or peril during any of Spencer and Bru's adventures. For example, oh, it's Tuesday: Jessica's been kidnapped and we've got to save her; that's cool, as long as we get it wrapped up before the end of Wednesday, because Thursday, Kelly's being kidnapped and will need rescuing. And then Friday, a face from our past will show up to settle the score with us, but it will all be wrapped up in 45 minutes, and the final shot will be of us drinking at the Scuttlebutt, laughing, or both. That's it, that's the formula of Thunder in Paradise.

They called them failures when they had one season of 24 episodes, and I said that nowadays, that would be 2-1/2 seasons.

Yes I can remember watching all this on TV series 🎉😂❤🎉

[@JenMistress]

Can't help but wonder if Cobra was ever called a Slacker on that show. And having Cobra there, I'll probably be waiting to hear "YO JOE!" 😉😂🤣 Most of these, I've never heard of before. Thunder in Paradise, or Blunder in Paradise which can't remember who called it that, think it was someone Hogan was feuding with, but mostly know of because of my dad getting me into Old School Wrestling, that's how I'm familiar with that one, as well as seen a few episodes on tape, and think I've hear of The College Years being mentioned on KZbin before. The rest, I'm totally not familiar with at all, though lots of them do indeed sound interesting at least. I do have several sources, some not quite legal sources I could check out, see if I could find some of them. In any event, thank you for this video, did enjoy it.

Thanks for watching and sharing

I only caught Thunder in Paradise, after it'd already been cancelled, & reruns were aired right before WCW Monday Nitro. I also remember George, the Sinbad Show, & Saved by the Bell: the College Years.

[@jackmakackov7077]

The idea of surviving a bullet to the face only to come out of it 10 times as handsome is hilarious

[@shawngillespie3532]

It happened to Michael Knight first, plastic surgery was in its Golden Age in the 90's

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

I remember The Sinbad Show fondly, but I am bias because I have always been a big fan of Sinbad's. I have several of his movies and comedy show DVDs.

[@TheReviewStudios]

I enjoyed his HBO stand up specials

[@DaveDuncanMusic]

Cobra was awesome!

[@DarkPhoenixSaga]

I never heard of it but, I loved him in the American Ninja movies.

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I was a big fan of Thunder in Paradise when I was a kid. I was sad that there wasn’t more.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

Thunder in Paradise had an awesome theme song, but it was such a cheesy show.......i kind of miss shows like that. dumb fun. Saved by the Bell the College Years also had a great theme song. And the new characters were really good. I wasn't a big fan of the original series, but I actually really liked the College Years. I remember NBC aired in prime time for some reason, that was a big mistake. If they kept it in the Saturday morning lineup , it would've lasted longer. Maybe they were hoping it would fill a void from A Different World?

[@TheReviewStudios]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@larrymarshall8900]

Yeah the theme song is dope, the show is a mix between Baywatch and Knight Rider. I wish the show would have last at least 5 seasons instead of one.

[@restionSerpentine]

I said I'd comment when you did the 94s, as a young hulkamaniac, I of course was all over Thunder in paradise. Loved Saved by th Bell as a kid so watched the college years too. I remember Sinbad airing, but did not have Fox at that time

[@nicolemerrill9167]

I have been waiting for this for thunder in paradise I was a WCW fan so I could watch the show and wcw then Hogan ended up in WCW rasslin lol

[@newspooiechannel]

I remember all except Hart of the West, Missing Persons and Second Chances. The theme song for Phenom has been stuck in my head for nearly 3 decades. Angela Goethals would later appear as a recurring character in "24," the same time as her Phenom co-star William Devane, who, for reasons inexplicable, went completed uncredited in the former series. You may wish to be aware that there was a Thunder in Paradise live-action Phillips CD-i video game with new footage shot around the time of the series finale for the game... serving as a final reprieve.

[@thedarkprince1987]

So am I the only one that likes Save by the Bell the college years

[@mattalan6618]

no. people did. but even it wasnt hard to see it lasted for one season

[@TrevorBarnhill-o3z]

My favorite show on this list was SBTB: The College Years. But I wasn't too surprised that it only lasted one season. However, I was surprised when Phenom was cancelled. That was a pretty good show. And for a new show, it got really high ratings. It blew my mind that ABC pulled the trigger and canned it after one season as it had so much potential and could have lasted at least three or four seasons.

[@carloshill]

I actually liked saved by the bell the college years i thought it was decent and should've lasted longer. I also loved roc but for some reason it just never caught on with some people

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

Roc went live and Fox made the excuse that they couldn't advertise for a show without clips.

[@IsaacCline-ru7ls]

I remember coming home from school and immediately turning on the tv to watch Saved by the Bell on TBS. I was alway sooooo disappointed if it was an episode of The College Years

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

I loved Cobra..

[@thegreatone9923]

In 94 enjoyed watching Saved By The Bell College Years and Thunder In Paradise

[@utubethumbsup]

Dang, all these shows looked SOOOOOOOOO bad...though I completely forgot about "Saved By The Bell: The College Years", thanks for the reminder! Don't remember it being very good either unfortunately.

[@TheReviewStudios]

Thanks for watching

[@spencers4121]

To be fair other shows around that time looked the same. I mean look at something like La Brea, 2021 show, with CGI and plot holes of a 1990's show.

[@KannX]

I really liked Cobra and Thunder in Paradise. These series were airing in polish tv "Polsat" as far as I remeber :) I've even made my Thunder boat out of Lego bricks xD

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

Cobra was also a Stephen J. Cannell production except unlike with Missing Persons, Cannell wrote, produced and created it.

[@AlexUSAF]

Out of all the awesome tv shows that defined the 90's in my youth memories, (X-Files, Star Trek Voyager with DS9 & TNG, Kung Fu the Legend Continues, Red Shoe Diaries, In Living Color, WCW Nitro-WWE Monday Night Raw, Vanishing Son, Bay Watch, Acapulco Heat, WMAC Masters, Power Rangers & VR Troopers, Tek War, HBO's Dream On & the Sopranos, Time Trax, Melrose Place & 90210, Charmed, & Space Above & Beyond) two shows from 1994 stick out the most which were "Thunder in Paradise", & "Saved by the Bell College Years" & I have no idea why since they were so short.

[@hannahdelvecchio7521]

I seen them in the movie

[@alexandersalazar9750]

The Sinbad show was my shit. I can't believe it was only 1 season. I remember watching it for years.

[@p.d.l7023]

The Hulk Hogan show wasn't all that bad.

[@josephmarkese8563]

It wasnt.. but it was Night rider with a boat. The boat was the limitation.
