By the way, do you know where/how I can find Crystal Twist in time for Burning Man?
Depending on where you lived and what stations you watched, you may remember this cartoon from Saturday mornings. I think somebody posted almost every episode of this show on YouTube.
I found the theme song about a year ago on youtube and listened to it every day for a month. It pumped me up!
ReplyDeleteI remember that show.
ReplyDeleteMurder, extortion, and human trafficking are fine...but drugs? HECK NO FELLA
ReplyDeleteReplace "drugs" with "internet pirating" and slap that shit back on the air.
ReplyDeletethis is hardly one of the best propagandas out there. i personally prefer the captain planet episode where Linka's cousin dies of a drug overdose on screen. or the Galaxy High episode where the kid starts speaking like an LA surfer from the 80s. or bravestarrrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteWas that crime boss Chief Wiggum's evil twin?
ReplyDeleteBig mistake here. This show was everything but terrible, and you have a lot of Canadian readers who are going to be all like, "oh yeah This show was fucking AWESOME!"
ReplyDeleteI remember this terrible show as a kid. It would be on when no other good cartoons were on.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Bravestarr, was he in the background of the hallucination? Cuz if drugs turn me into Bravestarr, I'm all about it. Thanks, EIT!
ReplyDeleteI thought Crystal Twist would help me hallucinate a 10 hour laser eye staring contest. ShadyFace, you're no Heisenberg.
ReplyDeleteThis makes drugs look fun. D:
ReplyDeleteWas this Canadian? That's why I remember it, though not the lovely trippiness you've added. Can EIT do a non-Transformer transformers mashup (Voltron/Gobots/???) next?
ReplyDeleteChief writer: James Ellroy. Big Boss is actually a Mickey Cohen pastiche.
ReplyDeletethis was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThe EIT touch took me awhile to catch on to at first when that loser did his Jew drug.
Also, I dont remember this episode but that was one creepy-ass grey pusher.
Also its funny that grey-dude couldnt be taken down by the cops, yet he still sold at the street level.
@funkicarus - Captain Planet sometimes got downright depressing. I don't know which one is worse - the AIDS episode, or the one set in Northern Ireland during the "Troubles".
ReplyDeleteThis show is Russian and evidence of the ongoing cultural renaissance which flowered after the fall of the U.S.S.R.
ReplyDelete"So, you rape babies? Well, at least you don't sell drugs!"
ReplyDeleteI kept expecting Duane to show up during that junky's trip...or at least Matt Matney.
@Ravenhallow: yes that is Bravestarr; on my vhs copy of this episode they tacked on a couple of trailers at the end, one of which was an awesome looking trailer for Bravestarr.
ReplyDelete@Payo: you need to mix it with Edge, which was more commonly available in the year 1999.
@Anonymous - Yeah, where does Baby Rape fall on their crime list?
ReplyDeleteCool cartoon, a blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about this show until now. I had action figures and shit, man. Long-Arm and the robot dog.
ReplyDeleteC.O.P.S. also featured character designs and opening title animation from Peter 'Æon Flux' Chung...
ReplyDeleteoh yes....Fighting crime....In future time!
ReplyDeleteTotally remember the ads for this...don't know if I watched it...my brother and his buddies did though. I remember because this neighbor kids was all I like COPTHS!! and spit went everywhere...
I wish I had a nephew named Berserko...
ReplyDeleteThis show rocked. I remember it very well, even though it only lasted one season.
