As the 80s started to go into the 90s some producers were misguided. They tought just because shows like this were successful (Captain N too) that kids wanted reality. I feel like kids liked Kidd Video as much as they did because it was a cartoon a majority of the time. The intro even says what kids wanted "We're cartoons!" There was shock in the story line, but kids think cartoons are cool. Well, not today.. today my own 8 year old nephew says cartoons are stupid and watches my old VHS tapes
I get such an intense feeling of nostalgia watching these. The 80s truly knew what kids liked, while also treating kids with a sense of maturity in story telling unlike what they get today. Tension between Megatron & Starscream was real, the maturity of Robotech didn't have to go to PG-13 or more adult levels like some situations get in newer shows today (Superman & Batman cartoons are ridiculous), and the imagination of Kidd Video was awesome. Writers were just smarter and classier in the 80s.
I remember in middle the 80's i wake up at 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning the saturdays and see all kind of cartoons!!!!....Believe me!!...I really miss that years...a lot!!
I GET CHILLS down my spine after watching these classic cartoons intro. i NEVER do my homework. I watch cartoons first then home work last. I miss the 80s and 90s as a kid. I feel sorry for today's kids that have to watch dumb ass crappy cartoons today.
This show was axed after two seasons to be to be replaced by live action teen sitcoms. Most Saturday morning shows ever broadcast are axed without a proper ending. This is just one of them.
From what I can remember, this series never resolved,Wouldn't it be funny if they did a revamp where they came back to present day? 'Itunes? I tune to what?"
the teenaged girl's (i believe her name was Carla or Glitter) cartoon form was really pretty. so did Lady Lovelylocks, Jem, Cleo, Ms. Pac-Man, Princess Sparkle and Princess Toadstool's cartoon counterpart.
My gosh, I was a senior in HS when this came out. I loved it. Though I always has an unhealthy debate in my head about who hotter- Carla or Glitter....
haha I remember this show thought nobody else on the planet ever saw it i was beginning to think maybe it never happened lol the theme song especially funniest thing how it's called the flip side haha
OH MY GOSH! I can't believe it - I've found it at last!*jumps up and down like a jackhammer* I loved that show when I was a kid! Thanks a bunch for uploading!
@dragonfire836 Amen! I can remember what my schedule was each saturday morning....Wake up at 6:00 and eat breakfast...usually some sort of sweet cereal and then watch 6 hours of toons Like Kidd Video and then have lunch and out side to play by noon.
I love this cartoon is on DVD and how many seasons did run till when was on NBC4 and were is this band now and they should come back becauses I am there fan From Edwin Laino
I completely forgot about the total lack of premise and backstory on this show! "I'm taking you to the FLIPSIDE! Why? Because FUCK YOU kids, that's why!" I don't ever remember them actually quantifying it any further. Then again we were kids and that whole plot made perfect sense at the time.
@pyrotechc3h8 Master Blaster the main bad guy was stealing music or artists from our dimension and use that to make The Copycats (his created fake band) popular. The early episodes explained this.
It's Funny, about three month ago, I was in a club in New York in the back of this new club that open up, talking to a friend of mine and just to waste some time before I had to DJ there we were talking about 80's stuff and for some reason this cartoon pop in my head, but I didn't remember the name. Now here on Youtube, three months later, I found the cartoon. It's a small world after all. LOL. /(*_*)\
@MrTripp1977 The draw was there due to the popularity of music videos in the 80's.. The toon screams 80s from the music to the fairy's leg warmers and cut off shirt. The 80's were definitely the best time for cartoons!
Wow!!! mad props for postin' this! This is total 80's classic & every time I see ppl post 80's cartoon classics, they ALWAYS seem to miss this one. Thank you for postin', it makes me nostalgic, thinkin' of when watchin' Saturday morning cartoons was the best! :o)
@SunnuAkkad Looking back I think she might have been mixed or latina but still minorities were a no-no. Thats a shame but at least that is one thing that has changed since then.
This was a top favorite cartoon when I was a kid. YouTube is awesome, I never thought I'd see it again. When I was a kid, the lead singer was hot....now...not sooo much ;P
