I loved The Pirates of Darkwater, it really deserved to carry on! I'd be dubious about seeing anyone pick it up now though, save maybe an anime studio who would respect it's origins.

[@PhantomRed13]

This was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. It's too bad it was never finished.

[@joezilla1995]

I got to meet the voice actors of pirates of dark water months ago, was a huge highlight for me

[@HistoryofPirates]

That’s cool

[@TheAmbientMage]

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. We were blessed in the early 90s with some great television.

[@HistoryofPirates]

we were very blessed

[@yourebarmy]

You mentioned this show on one of your streams & I actually found it on.. the high seas

[@fwobebe5164]

Loved this show when i was a kid.

[@ampjr99]

O.g I freaking loved this as a kid, well hannah barbera love everything from them

[@HistoryofPirates]

they were top tier

[@newdgamer4118]

Jay! April 1st do a totally serious deep dive into Captain Feathersword

[@HistoryofPirates]

all he has is a song

[@newdgamer4118]

@HistoryofPirates I'll write you a script expanding on his lore, his "friendly" persona hides a dark secret. You could dress as him.

[@TuneTamasha]

this aired on cartoon network for a long time, much better than caribbean, should get a reboot

[@HistoryofPirates]

Agreed

[@petergermain6701]

I will be waiting and hoping ❤

[@mysticgirl8912]

I have never heard of this show and I grew up in the 90's. As for a reboot well, in today world it would be a very bad idea. Look what Hollywood did to Scooby Doo and so many other franchisees that were originally kid friendly.

[@SuperNormalMan]

Scooby-doo was hijacked by an ugly, vengeful, bitter woman that used the franchise as a vehicle to boost her own sad little ego. It's a good demonstration of what happens when the wrong person reboots a franchise.

[@FluffyCajun]

Well written, animation was great for the time, and it had an absolutely star studded cast behind it. Unfortunately the cost of the animation is what ultimately killed it.

[@Winnyao]

I'm so mad that money was the reason they couldn't keep going. Which is stupid considering the amount of money these companies do rake in if they don't half-ass things.

[@tekkblade82]

I remember this show as a kid. As long as they don't reboot it for "a modern audience" giving this story a second chance would be a good idea.

[@jadestar0883]

I love this tv show but it ended without a resolution. I never played the game or read the comics.

[@sarahhamik9792]

I want this show to be rebooted so bad! Right now I'm setting up a D&D game based on it.

[@akamadmaxx8432]

I freakin loved this show.

[@HistoryofPirates]

It was awesome

[@karenm5681]

I never got to watch this show but I’m so intrigued…a monkey-bird? Someone had a creative imagination. Jodi Benson? *THE* JODI BENSON? Wow! I’m in. If I ever come across this I’m watching it. (Fangirl alert.)

[@Kev-A]

Loved this show. Going to use the dark water in a Pirate Borg ( TTRPG) game im running for friends.

[@Didymus20X6]

That was a great show! I remember watching it on Cartoon Network.

[@Dragon_Fodder]

Great. Now you're making me hunt down the old action figures.

[@Super_Ammo]

I played the game on Genesis, I think. Or was it snes? I had no idea there was a show! Awesome.

[@jeremybain3830]

I watched this show, sorry to learn it never got to finish its story.

[@HistoryofPirates]

Thanks for watching

[@DragonKingX78]

Such a underrated classic, deserved more seasons, deserves a blu ray release.

[@540VarialHunter]

I'm from Poland, never heard of it, but I got three words- No! five words for you. *WATCH AND READ One Piece!* 😛

[@newdgamer4118]

I remember this, but i dont think i watched it. I wonder what it was going up against in its timeslot? Leslie Jones would be a great Rin. Greta Tunberg could be the ecomancer. Melissa Mcarthy could play Mer. Lets get it made baby!

[@wiledave1565]

Thx Jay! Luv the Show! It would be nice if they finished it

[@HistoryofPirates]

WILEDAVE much love to you bother

[@spinbadmonkey108]

It was awesome… Hollywood please don’t remake it.

[@HistoryofPirates]

I hear that

I love this show...it deserves an ending...a movie..a series...just bring it back

[@slicerneons3300]

Sniffle...when I think of all the awesome Nimated shows that got cut before their time. Brings a tear to my soul.

[@HistoryofPirates]

It was great

[@LateNitewithCap]

Nice job Jay

[@HistoryofPirates]

Thanks brother

[@alexbrunner1900]

That intro goes hard 🔥🔥🔥

[@sketchasaurrex4087]

I have a bootleg dvd set. I loved the weird cartoon. Definitely pulled some stufff from this for D&D games

[@HistoryofPirates]

I need to grab that DVD

[@deadnorth8648]

3p0... I found this randomly

[@HistoryofPirates]

It’s me! I hope you enjoyed the video

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I remember Pirates of Dark Water.

[@nigelm5539]

Never knew there were video games of this IP. I was a big Genesis kid, so I might have to look in to that and see if any emulators are around.

[@HistoryofPirates]

I never played the games, they looked fun

[@MrFatalisDev]

*A core childhood memory has been unlocked* Good gods I can't believe I forgot this show! I was never able to see all of it nor finish the game on me SNES? I think? But I still love it all the same.

[@HistoryofPirates]

I love this show

[@MrFatalisDev]

@@HistoryofPirates Hey. Just a suggestion/question are you going to do more pirate stuff from cartoons or perhaps Sci-fi to expanded your channel? If you are you could talk about pirates and Rouge Traders from 40K to get some traction for your channel. Be warned about going to deep in to the Warp hole though since I don't really want your channel to become a another 40k lore channel and loss your identity. Liking the channel as is. Cheers!

[@sirclueless199]

Growing up in the late nineties I only every caught a couple of episodes. Wished it got to run its course

[@HistoryofPirates]

maybe one day someone will finish it

[@happyjoelucky]

this show is excellent! i've owned it for a while now and just got around to watching it

[@HistoryofPirates]

I loved it

[@alandonley8030]

Loved this as a kid and to be honest had forgotten about it. I am now watching it all again

[@HistoryofPirates]

it's such a great show

[@ObiClon]

This show was no IS a big part of my childhood! And likely the reason I have a big fascination with pirate lore/culture now.

[@Nagirdnal]

I was born in ‘89, I’m surprised I never heard of it before you started talking about it. It does look awesome and the game even looks fun. Hopefully someone good will pick it up and give it a proper send off.

[@HistoryofPirates]

that would be the dream, has to be the right person

[@Nagirdnal]

@@HistoryofPirates Once you get done with all your books you might have the finances and notoriety to buy the rights. I can’t think of a better person to do it.

[@NewSquallor]

Never caught a single episode. Must have been on when something else was on that I had to watch. :/ The early 90s just flooded the market with quality cartoons.

[@forsaken7976]

I had all the action figures and one day I got the ship. But the ship wasn’t to scale with the figures and the result was kinda goofy as the figures were much too big for the ship. I’ll never forgive the toy makers for that…

[@HistoryofPirates]

I never had the toys

[@forsaken7976]

@@HistoryofPirates sad. Maybe Santa will bring you some this year if you are a good boy.

[@Savvys-flacid-ass]

With the fall of the super hero jon-dra, there's a chance something like this gets brought back to life. Fingers crossed I guess!

[@phlebiax5592]

They need to give the comics and cartoons to a movie company and let them handle it to make it into a real life movie. Weird thing is, the cartoon never finished, but the comics did!

[@tinkybell1737]

Any way to get the storyline out of the writer or any of the wb archives would be an amazing read warner bros owns it

[@samuel5591]

Never saw this as a kid but it reminds me of Ulysses 31, in that it was short lived but massively loved by those that did watch it. Might have to hunt this down.

[@lynngreen7978]

The curse words of the series were incorporated into Huttese in Star Wars Legacy

[@emilykruger2844]

Great video, this show seems pretty interesting that I will check out where it is avaliable to watch

[@kicikocani1]

i was wondering how was this called for ages 😂

[@frusteratedpenguin]

REBOOT THE PIRATES OF DARK WATER!!!

[@dirtyjerzy]

Thank you for this! 🙏 I consider this show to be one of my favorites of all time, a lost treasure, a lost labor of love. I was 11 when this came out and was completely enthralled. It was science-fiction but fantasy, with pirates and high adventure! It had a very Masters of the Universe feel, I thought, another favorite franchise of mine. I hope someday soon they do a "reboot", either animated or live action. The formats of streaming services today would be perfect for a limited run series. But, it would have to be competanly done. An OPLA and not a Witcher, as it were. Someday. 🤷‍♂️

[@HistoryofPirates]

One of my favorites as well

[@Saavryn]

Damn, I loved that show growing up! Even played the SNES game of it. I hated that it ended on a cliffhanger.

[@HistoryofPirates]

I always wanted someone to pick it up

[@Saavryn]

@@HistoryofPirates Yar, matie... Emulators can be a boon t' ye if ye wish t' play it

[@reichen609]

@History of Pirates - Oh, what a gem this cartoon was! Only ever saw a few episodes. Anyhow, a bit off-tangent here, but I remember back in 2007 when I was doing some research about pirates, is it true the first crew (or something) had like, homosexual relationships? I mean, they

[@HistoryofPirates]

I don’t know

[@alatarINC]

@History of Pirates At 8:24 you say that: "the story (for the ending of the animated series - I presume) is pretty much written" Are you thinking of the ending from the Sega Genesis game that use again in the animated series or do you have knowledge/sources that tell you there is a storyline made for the rest of the animated series? :)

[@HistoryofPirates]

I would love to own this franchise

[@jonahhex9620]

You remembered to mention this on Clobbering Times 👍🏻

[@HistoryofPirates]

Ahhh yeah

[@cl-vision5029]

I hope they just leave it alone 😢
