"Kidd Video" TV Intro

Kidd Video was a Saturday morning cartoon created by DiC Entertainment in association with Saban Entertainment. Its original run was on NBC from 1984 to 1985, but continued in reruns on the network until 1987, when CBS picked the show up. Reruns have also aired in syndication.

The title sequence explained the plot; Kidd Video and his band of the same name (played by live-action performers in the first half of the title sequence) were kidnapped by a villain named Master Blaster, and transported to Master Blaster's home dimension, a cartoon world called The Flipside. They were rescued by a fairy named Glitter, and subsequently spent each episode of the series either helping to free the denizens of the Flipside from Master Blaster's rule, or trying to find a way back to the "real world". Master Blaster, who seemed to be a cartoonization of a corrupt rock manager or music executive, flew around the sky in his floating castle, which resembled a giant jukebox, and his henchmen were a group of anthropomorphic cats called The Copycats, so-called because they lip-synched their songs.

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

[hootyhaha]

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.
