The ProStars Show.

Posted by Excellent in Cartoon & Comic, Sports, Video Clips on February 25, 2007 at 12:30 am


ProStars [wiki] was a Saturday morning cartoon show produced by DiC on NBC in 1991.

Originally intended to air on ESPN, the show centers on Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky fighting crime and helping children, often protecting the environment as well. These three were chosen to represent the pinnacle of all four major American professional sports in the early 1990s. While Jordan and Gretzky are broadly associated with their respective sports, Jackson was included since he could represent both football and baseball and was a high-profile celebrity off the field as well. A reference to his “Bo Knows” Nike ad-campaign was worked into almost every episode.

    Wow, memories come flooding back. It used to play right before Captain N: The Gamemaster. Nobody believes me that this show used to exist!
    I used to wonder if Gretzky was the moronic fool they used him for as a kid. Since hockey didn't exist in Texas when I was little.

    I really think DiC should be tried for crimes against humanity. So many bad cartoons, so few frames per minute.
