They should air this show on either BET, TV-One or Centric

@ta2fiend The only difference between this and Fat Albert was the race of the creators. White guy makes show protraying black people living in a junkyard and its racist, black guy does it and its classic childrens TV.

What's so racist about this? All white folk live in luxury and all blacks live in shacks? This shouldn't sunrise or shock anyone,we are the 99%

There was actually a live-action version of this cartoon..It was called Homeboys in Outer Space.

@thedrknghtno1 wow, this cartoon just hurt my self esteem. RACIST
-
Hahahaha. This show was soooo racist. Funny 2watch and see how the animators thot of black folks. Think about it, producers approved and the tv execs said sure, why not. Funny

Didnt he play drums for Poison?

So the whole thing fuses Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons (or Jabberjaw, which might be a closer correlation), Speed Buggy, Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids, and Nipsey Russell. I don't find it particularly negative because I don't see anyone DOING anything negative, and there were lots of anthropomorphic-representation characters (like Rickety Rocket) who had exaggerated features and rather loud personalities. I would have to actually see a full episode to get what people are on about.

The cartoon was dropped because the NAACP felt that it depicted Blacks negatively...Two examples. The main characters had exaggerated features while the other characters were draw anatomically correct. Also if the future was so clean and pretty, why were the main characters living in a junkyard? Ruby-Spears Animation started out making mistakes in addressing different cultures, but got better with Rubik and Mr. T.

I'm sure they probably said "How about Speed Buggy except with a Rocket and some black kids?"
Cause Fat Albert was popular.
