I watched Talespin as a kid, and I had a DVD of Super Mario Bros 3.

I guess 1990 wasn't a very memorable year for cartoons - of these, I only remember Tale Spin, Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Kids on the Block, although I only watched Tale Spin and Super Mario Bros. As I recall, Tale Spin was part of The Disney Afternoon, which also included Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Gummi Bears, and DuckTales.

holy crap i havent thouhght about wake rattle n roll in years and i def didnt remeber whats its called awesome memories

I grew up on Talespin, Mario, and Shake, Rattle, and Roll.

The only one I did not know about was Barnyard ANimals.

Yeah, it was a 65-episode season, but they ran it for years and years. I was just as shocked double and triple checked it to be sure.

@@TheReviewStudios did they ever released all the episodes on dvd or bluray?

​@capsortee there is a 65 episode collectors addition that includes all episodes including flying Dupes.

@@TheReviewStudios I forgot that a lot of 80s and early 90s cartoons did 65 episode seasons! Nowadays that would be about 3 or 4 seasons worth of episodes (6 seasons for those series that are only 10 episodes a season). Things have really changed!

​@@mysticwolf75definitely

Omg yes Lol

How dare you forget Duck Tales

What about Gummi Bears, bouncing here and there and everywhere.

Duck Tales ouoooo oooou 😂😂😂 loved that show too!

Loved them all. I'm sad that my kids didn't get such quality cartoons in their time.

Thanks

What have you worked on lately? I'm interested in knowing

@@JohnGumbs-cq3pr you can Google my name with the letters IMDB, the internet movie database to see my entire career of credits if you like

Which Studio did you work at in 1989 and 1990 when you worked on Talespin? It had Various Studios working on it and non were American. It had Multiple Japanese Studios, One Large French Studio, a few Korean Studios and a Taiwanese studio.

@@Tornado1994 what do you mean none were American? The studio that made that was Disney television animation, most certainly an American company... At the time Disney TV was in North Hollywood on cahuenga Blvd, right up the street from Universal studios... The foreign studios are the production houses, contracted to do the actual animation (all television animation is done this way) we would do the design, story, boarding, backgrounds, etc then send it overseas to be animated... It was less expensive to do that.

💯💪🏾

It was Don Karnage and Wildcat who were so deserving of a much longer run. Baloo, Louie, and Kit deserved no run at all.

@@SecretUser2000, you sad little person.. *_pats your head... knowing how hard it was to form the words in there to make an coherent sentence_*

65 episodes is not a short run. It would take a Saturday morning show 5 years to get to that amount of episodes.

@michaelrusso906 , but for a daily afternoon show, it was. Look how many episodes *_Duck Tales_* , *_Chip and Dale_* , snd *_Darkwing Duck_* got ...

"No wars" except the Gulf War lol

@@GlennDaveyYeah coverage of the Gulf War was everywhere. Couldn’t escape it

Remeber the marvel power hour?

65 episodes is not really 1 season in todays media. That's like 4 seasons plus

Bro how tailspin only run for one season yet I wanted it everyday after school for like 5 years

@@Lolerstomp 65 episodes

same here, born in 83, I remember a lot of these shows from when we were 7! Shocking about Tale Spin, that seemed like a permanent fixture back then! That was one of my favorite shows.

Crazy I was born in 81 and I also thought Tailspin would have ran longer as I loved that cartoon and recall watching it every chance I could.

Born December 1982. I remember watching Talespin like it was yesterday on Fox 33 Norfolk.

Same here! I could’ve sworn that show was longer than one season. That was one of my favorites.I was also born in 1983 and I have vivid memories of that time. Is that weird considering we were only 7-8 around 1990-91.

Me too i swear it lasted longer.

OMG you read my mind

I never liked the Celeb Cartoons, with the exception of Jackie Chan and maybe Mr T. NKOTB was one of the more attrocous ones. I liked Darkwing Duck, was better than Duck Tales in my opinion. But best Disney series was (and still is) hands down Gargoyles. We nowadays find it hard to believe that the beloved cartoon series were onyl one season because we have grown accustomed to seasons with only 6-12 episodes, when back then a season was typically 26-52 (and sometimes up to 102) episodes.

Can’t forget “I am the terror that flaps in the night, so let’s get dangerous“. Of course, I’m talking about Darkwing duck.

Being into planes and aviation during that time makes sense because of hits like Top Gun.

It's just an arbitrary definition of what "one season" is. There's no way they animated 65 episodes in a single year, much less broadcast them all.

I'm with you. Saw tail spin and was like I don't believe you. Had to look for myselfr

I can still hear the tail spin music in my head which is more than I can say for most shows from my childhood

That one really shocked me

That's strange, I don't remember seeing anything about a Home Improvement cartoon 🤔

@@bruticus1875 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ap5xaq5k1rSUiZ8.html But seriously. I did say 'one' of.

Kid: Do you think we made a mistake? Play: Nah bro, Jada is crazy as hell!

But would the show have been the same with Kid'n'Play instead of Smith?

Darkwing ducks intro had some soul 😂.

@@thegamingchef3304 what about chip N dale rescue rangers?

Rescue Rangers when there's danger but when there's trouble you call D.W.

I'd rather have one 65 ep. Season than eight 8 episode seasons.

I was born in 1977 and 13 in 1990. I remember watching the new He-Man every morning before I would go off to school. I thought it was decent but still wasn't as good as the original. I would watch Kid N Play with Super Mario 3 as part of the Captain N block. Then one Saturday morning in the Spring, our local NBC Affiliate out of Nashville, WSMV Channel 4, took off Captain N/Super Mario 3 in favor of a local Saturday morning news and variety show. I remember I was beyond pissed that they did that. But at least it was over by the time Kid N Play was on.

Ducktales already got a reboot and there's a Rescue Rangers movie on Disney +.

@@Jigglysaint I know they did reboot DuckTales and I seen the chip and dale movie. It's not rescue rangers. Lol but yeahhh it's still not that old school

In the new duck tales they added dark wing duck

💯💪🏾 Nice line up, those are certified classics!

@@yaiqabhabalyasharahla4948 And all came on back to back

You mean cloud kicker?

@@mattryan9444 I mean exactly what I said. .

@@GoldenAgeFlash1940 Don't worry! It's aaaaaaall part of the show...

Nah! Tale Spin was more WINGS than CHEERS dude! If you go back and compare! But the only 2 I remember watching as a Kid off this list was TaleSpin & The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 as I didn't see there others at all. Also the 1 thing I hated looking back that Cartoons were slowly less being about the Carny Toony ways and more forced by the Gov't to have each episode teach us a Educational Informational Issues instead. As the Govt of FTC more so Killed Ol skool Cartoons from the Big 4 Nets by 2001 w/ the last of the Sitcoms/Toons more so being the Teen NBC Lineup whom actually weren't every ewppy shilling the E/I crap that was forced upon us!

Cheers was dry and boring, and appealed to zero children.

@@Ereskigal I was a kid and watched Cheers. Thats how I made the connection when I was watching Tail Spin. Sam Malone is Baloo, Diana was Rebecca Cunningham. Woody and Kit were almost the same characters. Fraiser Krane and Shere Khan are the same in their demeanors. Tail Spin is the kid version of Cheers. Baloo is actually an amalgamation of Sam and Norm.

@@ibrahimkhalif83 sorry I just really hate cheers! I can see that now tho

Thank you very much!

That's because the money was in syndication where the show would run 5 times a week and the magic number to get syndicated was 65 episodes.

@@jonathan2260 Still, when you think one season, that means around thirteen to twenty-four to twenty-six episodes, more or less... Usually thirteen. A syndication season would be the equivalent of about five thirteen-episode seasons long.

@@LlorDrei I'm uncertain what that adds to the discussion. Yes, that would be the equivalent of several regular seasons worth of episodes. If we're going to drag this dead horse any further, the problem is that streaming seems to have killed the cash cow that was syndication. To make 65 episodes without knowing for sure that it was going to be popular was quite a gamble. So syndication was an incentive to mass produce a show. Heck, it was the reason a show like Robotech ended up being created whatever you may feel about that.

@@LlorDrei Talespin Started production in 1989 and had 65 Episodes ready by the Mid Autumn of 1990. Initially, Disney Executives wanted a 2nd Series called "Tale Spin: Jet Speed" which had 26 Episodes planned, but Disney Television itself believed Darkwing Duck would be a more viable IP and thus easier to license,market and merchandise, so production stopped in late 1991.

@@Tornado1994 But, what I'm saying is, a normal season is thirteen, or so episodes. They may have extended the season out, and called it just one season, by fitting all the episodes into it, but, it is in actuality a five season long cartoon, that they just call one season long.

I was 7 in '90 and ALSO remember most of these cartoons. 1. Little Rosie. Had forgotten all about it until 2023. Dr Animaction had mentioned it on his Channel. I remember this being a rather forgettable Poor Man's Bobby's World. 2. He-Man '90 was a Complete Misfire. I remember. Because it had been relegated to Weekday Mornings which was the Graveyard for anything Syndicated.(The Original Filmation MOTU was a Weekday Afternoon stable throughout the entire 80s. 3. Watched Capt N and SMB 3. In fact, I remember SMB 3 being FAR more interesting than Captain N. 4. Barnyard Commandos, I remember the Toys and Action Figures, but I Don't remember the Cartoon. I don't think I cared for it or ever even tried to. At the time, it came on after Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, which I wasn't a fan of either. 5. Talespin. I was in LOVE with this Cartoon. I mean, I fell HARD for it. I REFUSED to miss it whenever it was on. I remember watching the Plunder and Lighting TV special on September 7,1990 on Disney Channel, and giddly cheering when Baloo flew the Tired Shielded Sea Duck into Karnage's Lightning Gun. I clapped and cheered when the Laser didn't work. Disney Television canceled plans for additional episodes because they were convinced that Darkwing Duck was going to be a Big Hit and kept throwing alot of money at Darkwing Duck. They didn't even make a Pilot TV Movie, they just kept aggressively marketing Darkwing Duck, but 13 Episodes in, ALOT of kids like me in '91, just threw in the Towel, it wasn't working the way that Disney thought. Alot of my classmates saw it as a "Weird and Dumb Ducktales Spinoff that makes fun of Batman. It THINKS its clever". Kids didn't want Disney Satirizing Batman, we wanted a Batman CARTOON that was close to the Tim Burton film. We got it exactly one year later.

Same age as you. I agree accept I've NEVER heard of Lil Rosie.

I remember having the Barnyard Commandos pig wrist watch thingamajig from Burger King, but that’s about all I remember from that series.

I never got to watch Little Rosey. At the same time it was on, University of Tennessee football highlights with the late Head Coach, Johnny Majors, was on and my Dad watched it every Saturday morning during football season.

I watched them religiously, too. I remember one day the power company was working on a pole down the street and messed something up - frying everything in everyone's house on the block. We were without a TV for almost a month! It was worse than medieval times. 😂 To this day I'll still walk into work and spout, _"I am the terror that FLAPS in the night! I am the phone call from your mother asking when you're going to get married!"_

Gummi Bears originally ran on Saturday Mornings on NBC Back in 1985 until 1989. It had ALREADY reached 65 episodes by the Fall of 1986. Gummi Bears was moved to Syndication in '89. Gummi Bears had been on the air since '85. And started off as a SATURDAY MORNING Cartoon. By the Time Disney Afternoon debuted, Gummi Bears was in its final season of production.

Gummy bears sucked I watched two episodes with my son and he couldn’t sit and watch it. If my kids can sit there and watch it, that should tell you something.

I was very disappointed with Gummy Bears and their gummy bear juice. I would have preferred more seasons of Talespin. Thank God I had Ducktales to fall back on when I was a kid.

@@Tornado1994 Huh, I hadn't realized Gummi Bears was still in production that late. That show felt old and stale long before it got to Disney Afternoon.

@@JonSmith-hk1bq Of Course it felt Old hat and Stale by '90. It was a Mid 80s Saturday Morning Cartoon.

RJ Williams of Course.

Born December 1982 here.

Bitch, Joey was mine!

I feel that...I was 9 and absolutely crazy for them, watched the show, had the dolls (only my favorites, so I had Jordan and Joe...my older cousins were equally crazy for them and had their faves as dolls, so I think we had just shy of the whole collection between us!), had the phone and managed to get my own phone number to go with it, and because my parents had money like that back when, they got me and my three older cousins tickets for a concert as part of my birthday present! I was a horrible little boyband fangirl gremlin back then...it's kind of funny to look at that and compare to my music tastes now. Somewhere along the line, I went from boyband pop to metal, and never looked back.

Oh Lord, my female cousins and the girls in our neighborhood LOVED NKOTB. I hated them and caught Hell for always talking crap about them. I was obsessed with The Simpsons back then and my cousins would try to get under my skin talking about how they thought that The Simpsons was stupid.

We definitely had the mario cartoons IE smw it had Yoshi in it, smb3 etc over in the UK, I vaguely remember it also having Captain N in one of the shows like they show mario in the first half then Captain N and the game master in the other I think we also had the legend of Zelda cartoon too with the Excuse me princess catchphrase from link

Yeah I thought that as well. These days, you're lucky if you get more than 12 episodes per season, maybe 20 in a well established show. That would mean 2-5 season's worth of TaleSpin... A good run ! I watched TailSpin on reruns in college in the mid-nineties, I liked having the TV on doing boring homework and I got accustomed with a lot of cartoons I would've otherwise missed at that age. Was "Conan the Adventurer" a one season show as well? I forget, but nobody ever remembers that show nowadays. Good memories ! (EDIT: It ran for a year so yeah, one season of 60 some episodes as well... Good stuff !)

Ah, yes. The power of Disney. "I'm too old to watch cartoons, but I'll make an exception for this one."

I was born in 78. So I was about 12-13 in 1990

11-12*

One thing has stuck in my head as truly hysterical. I remember Baloo saying that something was worse than Louie's "All you can stand for a dollar" chili special.

It DID feel like more that 1 season.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! Will do!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It always used to be they came up with 65 episodes for a daily cartoon, but the Saturday morning (weekly, obviously) cartoons were 13 episodes, so for whatever reason they wanted 13 weeks of content.

You are so welcome!

It wouldn't be the same without it, thank you

I remember Gravedale High😂 Saturday mornings were so memorable as kids back in the 90s.

@@ForemanFitness52I was hardly a fan of the show, but I can still remember that Rick Moranis (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids) was involved, and the theme was pretty catchy! "Graaaavedaaaale Hiiiigh....Please take a seat, yeah, we're dying to meet ya" lol

Yeah, that's right. I watched a few episodes of Gravedale High. It was pretty fun to watch.

Thanks, will do!

Two good ones, thanks

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you

Darkwing Duck was set in the city of St. Canard, which was near Duckburg. Launchpad McQuack wasn't the only character from DuckTales to appear in Darkwing Duck: Gizmoduck made guest appearances in a few episodes.

@@ginormousaurus8394 I forgot all about Gizmoduck.

Awesome

I thought it was big in America ... But 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thanks for sharing. It's pretty amazing when you look back at the casting of House Party. A bunch of them went on to have a successful career in stand-up. 👍 did you watch the 2023 House Party movie?

@@TheReviewStudios Not yet.

You're exactly right, thank you

Yes, it was!

That's awesome

A lot of people have mentioned pirates of Darkwater. Guess we could've replaced wake Rattle and roll with it.

Or the video game of it.

What part of Oklahoma? I'm from Sapulpa. Watched Talespin and all them other great Disney shows on KOKI Fox 23 Tulsa.

Of course Fox 23 in Tulsa didn't carry the actual "Disney Afternoon" block. It aired all of the shows,Gummi Bears,Ducktales,Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers,and Talespin,and all in the same order that they aired on the block every day and the same episodes as appeared on the actual Disney Afternoon,but Fox 23 ran each show individually rather than running the actual DA block. It was basically an unnamed Disney Afternoon block of it's own. It didn't matter though as long as my favorite Disney TV shows still got shown every day.

@@JamesSmith-jq6om OKC. Believe it was Fox25, but we didn't have the Gummy Bears, that came on Saturday. We got Ducktails, Rescue Rangers, Tailspin, And my personal favorite, Darkwing Duck.

The Panda One I saw in October of 1990 om FOX 33 Norfolk and on Toon Disney in 2002.

I came here to point out this important fact. The kid's name is R.J. Williams. He enjoyed a nice 15 minutes of fame which landed him on the cover of the Disney Channel companion magazine Disney Adventures with an exclusive interview in side. My little sister had a monthly subscription to Disney Adventures. She also had a crush on R.J. As with most child actors he was unable to transition into a successful adult actor. However he became a successful businessman and is the CEO of a company he founded called Young Hollywood.

Awesome 👌
