@hungarrguy: You bring up a valid point, but this guy was crazy. I remember once he held up a sheet of blank notebook paper and said something like "Check out this paper. Blank, expressionless. WHITE." Then he wrote a sentence on it and said "Now look at this. Expression, thoughts are added to the BLANK WHITE page, from this pen. With BLACK ink." Then someone asked what it meant to use blue ink. I thought he was going to hurt somebody.
There was this guy in my sixth grade class who was kind of militant. If you even mentioned Street Frogs, he'd go crazy and start spouting off about how racist it was. He spent a lof of time in the guidance counselor's office, as I recall.
@SilentGunman Did you ever wonder if he was right? Think about what kind of impact that has on a child's mind. The association of being black and being a frog is more harmful than it seems. Why not simply draw cartooned black people? A cheap stab at trying to exaggerate an entire races features and compare it to an animals, making them less than human. This type of racism reminds me of the Warner Bros take on Mexicans; Speedy Gonzales. "Look @ my Giant sombrero, Man."
@hunggarguy A cultured person, is immediately offended by Speedy Gonzales, as he is an obvious characterization of a lazy gun toting Mexican person, who only bares the semblance of a Mexican person, and none of their culture, heritage and knowledge, manners, or customs. However it does show, all the characteristics of prejudice towards people of Mexican descent, lazy, excitable, fast talking, drunk all the time, sleeps all the time etc. Again, typical WB entertainment for the Genteel masses.
@mireaux7, The Jackson 5 best teenage cartoon ever! (rhythm, style, jokes was funny) Street Frogs corniest teenage cartoon ever! Me and my cuz use to laugh our ass off not because of any jokes, but we was wondering who the dumbass who produce this corny bullshit! HA,HA,HA!
I watched it as a kid , i loved it!! It didnt take alot of graphics and 3d for kids to enjoy something as generic as this. we were more appreciative. which is more than i can say for my kids, cant please em for sh_t..lol
Many people here will hate me but.... actually this intro was the only thing I liked about this cartoon. Dunno why, it's just it was a little boring for me, I liked Karate Kat and Mini-Monsters more.
what a great show, I remember they use to rotate this show between The Tiger Sharks, karate kat and another one I can't think of. I remember they would only play 3 out of the 4 in a half hour show and I would get mad when the street frogs weren't picked.
The Street Frogs!!!! Damn I remember them, and I was at work asking if anyone else remembered and they all thought I was crazy!!! Fuck em if they dont believe you!!! lol
Yo las solia ver mucho en la barra de programacion del canal 9 local de San Luis potosi, los que fueron de mi ciudad conoceran perfectamente lo que nosotros veiamos y esta serie era una de ella junto con; el gato karateka, los tigres del mar, campamento minimonster y las caricaturas de ALF y no se que mas.
the trouble with some of these, their owners feel that it is not worth the effort to produce the DVDs as they will not sell fast enough.
However, they are not discounting their value as broadcast content. Which means you won't see them on DVDs for sale, only available for lease to broadcast stations. Unfortunately, it's not economically feasible for stations to pay for these, since channel surfers would not stay watching them. If it won't do better than an infomercial, they won't air it.
I vaguely remember this show. This wasn't one of the shows on my regular line up back then, but I remember the intro and that song :) Thanks for posting.
@Ellthom Well the original concept of the show was that it was going to be about some people in the ghetto and they called it Street Niggers. When they pitched the idea to the company president, it was decided this concept as it was would be too offensive to some viewers. So they went back and made them frogs and changed the name to "Street Frogs". Some of the character motivations were also changed such as Dr. Slick's crack habit and Honeylove's prostitution, replaced by Snappy Sam's Diner.
I'm insulted. if they have the Mini monsters on you tube, when are they gonna put on the Street Frogs and the rest of the comic strip? Doesn't anyone have any episodes of the comic strip?
I use to watch it on sky one sunday mornings. I loved the song, and especially the handshake. they use to be so cooooooool. I think the tallest one was extremely smooth and I wanted to be like him.
I am 27 years old. I can remember VERY well when this show aired and what kind of saturday morning cartoons I watched in the 1980s. There's no need to troll. BTW, the show was produced by Rankin Bass just before they tanked in 1989.
oh my goodness, me and my brother use to always watch this on Saturday morning's before we went to karate practice...who can do hip hop better than a frog can...street frogs street froooogs....
please show the episodes not just the intro just pay the royalties, this cartoon in spanish it was called (Las ranas del barrio) I used to love this as a kid in the 80's I was born in 1981.
I'm glad to see this on here too, I thought it was a figmant of my imagination. Nobody I know remembers this cartoon. Glad I'm not the only one who watched it.
I remember every Sunday Morning i would watch this on WLFL-FOX22...I'd say back in '87 when i was 5. Damn, i use to love this cartoon. I'd watch the reruns if they bought it back.
i remmy when i was a kid and i watch streetfrogs and its is sooo memorable, and nowadays i talk to ppl about if dey rememba tha streetfrogs and they all say they never heard of it! so i thought i was crazy or something cause virtually the world has forgotten about it, and streetfrogs can never come back as a throwback cartoon, white producers scrapped it cause it was a hip hop cartoon, but im suprised fat albert is never gone!
Yeah, this was good times right here. Where I lived it used to come on Sunday mornings in late 80's. But whoever is posting this needs to post the other theme openings if they can like karate kat (which was my favorite one), and mini monsters. I have seen tiger sharks on here.
Yes!!! Hook me up with all the Comic Strip themes...including the main Comic Strip one itself....I havent seen or heard these things since they aired in the 80's! I thought maybe I was dreaming them up til I saw this. No one ever seems to know what I'm talking about when I speak of these shows.
