Here in 2022. Loving these comments. I'm off to continue my path down memory lane with the Batman animated series. Be well my 35 y.o. friends :)

[@dylanbean6728]

Ha me too. Came here for a nostalgia fix. Now off to find the karate kid animated series.

[@nastradonis]

Hi friend. I remember the theme song and a toy I had

[@archangel5627]

I’m right there with you. I came here to rewatch the Swamp Thing cartoon but since they only produced five episodes, I’m going to blow through those in no time. With that being said, there are a few cartoons that I wasn’t able to see in their entirety. So My question is, what cartoon series should I watch next? Mighty Max, the Phantom 2040, Monster Force, Exosquad, or the Inhumanoids?

[@spence4346]

Man these cartoons bring back some serious childhood memories. I liked these and the xmen cartoon when I was young. Had tons of vhs

[@spence4346]

​@@dylanbean6728remember the 3 ninjas from the 90s? Lol

[@NobleReliance]

I remember this episode so vividly. My mom got it for me on VHS back in the day and I can't imagine how many times I watched it. A part of me misses all those toys too... 😂

[@mdnicethaking22]

I miss this I used to watch the VHS every day growing up!

[@AgentMorgan2010]

Wow... I am very old. I also had this thing on VHS. I'll never forget the cover art. It's permanently seared into my brain. I don't think it ever aired on any of the networks. I watched it nearly every day when I was roughly 6 years-old or so. I had just about all the figures, and even the transducer. I haven't seen this thing in damn near 30 years, but as I watch, everything comes flooding back. Swamp Thing had a cool voice. I never saw any other episodes. My father bought me a trade paperback of the original Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson run of the comics called Dark Genesis, and Swamp Thing was unable to speak in it. It was much darker and much more adult than the cartoon, obviously. I was probably 8 when I first read that. Couldn't go back to the cartoon after. I still have it in a box somewhere.

[@newmancity]

Farewell Len Wein You will always be remembered for Swamp Thing

[@thedarkknight4956]

I REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS A KID, GOOD TO SEE IT AGAIN.

I remember that the orange-haired kid in the live-action version of Return Of Swamp Thing had grown up to be a filmmaker, and yet I'm working with him on an upcoming 2017 indie horror film.

[@juicexxx1143]

I used to watch this all the time as a kid brings me back to when I was 8 years old ahhh great times

[@tiptucker36]

i used to watch this constantly all the time when i was a kid. pure classic.

[@TheFreakJessie]

I recently discover this and I'm loving the Wild Things parody theme song

Tomahawk was voiced by the same actor who was King Koopa in the Mario Bros animated series, and Sam from the Sam and Max: Freelance Police series.

The new Ninja Turtles series proved that wrong lol....they do it all the time.

Thats false though

[@aaronlusanko6356]

Collecting My Thoughts no, they were regular turtles before they got mutated. plus Be-Bop and Rocksteady were human before, not mutants.

Man of Muck who'd henceforth devote his time to battling Arcane and his Unmen. Considered only a legend by the locals and thus left alone to his own devices, Swamp Thing operated a hi-tech "TreeLab" to continue his experimentation. 1990 proved to be a big year for Swamp Thing. Along with the launch of the television series, Kenner (now part of Hasbro) had entered into a $6 million deal to produce a line of action figures based on the character. Reed and Brue Shelly pitched an animated series to CBS to promote those figures which largely ignored Moore’s contributions and focused on the original Wein/Wrightson work. When pitching Swamp Thing to Fox, story editors Reed and Bruce Shelley outlined eight potential plotlines, involving such out-of- swamp experiences as space aliens, witches and lost Indian tribes. Five episodes were produced by DiC Entertainment when CBS ultimately turned the show down, leading to it landing at Fox. Only 5 costly half hours were filmed, however; the pilot episode aired on October 31, 1990 on Fox as part of Fox Kids Network programming block, and these were given a trial as a miniseries in April of 1991 as a midseason replacement show for the falied Fox Kids endeavor Piggsburg Pigs!. Swamp Thing eschewed parody for larger-than-life adventure, endeavoring admirably to honor the spirit (and the No matter how hard the DIC staff tried (and this was one of the company's better efforts), it would take more than a talking shrubbery to pry viewers away from CBS’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Though given 2 tries from April to May and reran until early August 3, 1991, Swamp Thing was replaced both times by reruns of Piggsburg Pigs, the very thing it had been assigned to supplant. After Fox gave up, DIC turned Swamp Thing to NBC, which featured the show on Chip & Pepper's Cartoon Madness in fall of that year, The Disney Channel, USA Network, and The Sci-Fi Channel would syndicate it years later. Still, DIC didn’t completely give up on the Leafy One. A caricature of Swamp Thing still occasionally appeared in the studio trade-magazine advertising, keeping company with such certified DIC moneyspinners as Inspector Gadget and Dennis the Menace (both q.v.). And in 1993, the existing Swamp Thing episodes were released to VHS.

[@mouniir07]

And yes I came from that trailer thing

had this on VHS when i was little, used to watch it all the time, but only this episode

Fond memories for the best DC character of all time.

I always loved the Transducer, both in the show and the action figure.

[@smittysmitty9591]

no wonder Allan Moore's so jaded...

[@Doodlebugdude]

Alan Moore didn't create Swamp Thing though. I loved his stint on the comic, but this cartoon series was probably aimed at fans of the original comic created by Len Wein and Berni Wrightson than the darker Alan Moore take on the character.

[@smittysmitty9591]

aaah yes thats probably true. i forgot that he was the writer only, and not one of the creators. but all the same, i loved what he did with the character...

[@Doodlebugdude]

It's not "probably true." Even in the credits for this cartoon it clearly states who created the character of Swamp Thing.

[@smittysmitty9591]

i meant "its probably true that it was aimed at the fans of the original comic." sorry I wasn't clear on that

[@nope5657]

Doodlebugdude But at the same time, it was Moore's work that made the character as popular as he was.
