Ah yes, the Street Sharks, The JAWSOME Alternative to Ninja Turtles, we actually had an old VHS of the show as a kid, produced by Dic and Mattel in 1994, It was aimed to compete with TMNT, but it came out a year or two too late, as that other show based off a live action super hero team + Giant Robot from Japan took children by storm in the 90s, and this today is remembered as nothing more than a nostalgic curiosity. Granted it's pretty justified, but I'm here to tell you it's a more fun ride than the Ninja Turtles decade 10 season running show...



So what's the plot to this? Basically somewhere in Fission City (an allusion to Los Angeles and it's polluted state), Dr. Bolton and Dr. Paradigm create a machine known as the Gene-SLAMMER, this splices aquatic animal DNA with human DNA, to create aquatic animal/human hybrids. Paradigm betrays Bolton, and Gene-SLAMS him and on his 4 sons. He creates Ripster the Great White, Jab the Hammerhead, Streex the Tiger Shark, and Big Slammu the Whale Shark. They do battle against Paradigm and his monsters like, Slash (a marlin), Slobster (1 guess what it is, get it wrong and you should go back to school), Killamri (a squid), Clamando (again 1 guess), among others. Eventually Paradigm gets gene slammed himself, and becomes Dr. Piranoid. On the way they meet Rox (a rock and roll shark), Moby Lick (a killer whale), and Mantaman (a manta ray, obviously), they also get vehicles and an underground lair because... Toyline.



The Characters aren't really interesting as far as personality, but most of them have got attitude, a badass design, and made for JAWSOME Action Scenes!!!! The Sharks are pretty much all the same guy, only with a different design and hobby. and the Villains aren't really interesting, but they are devious, mean, green, and badass on the screen. The Street Sharks meet The Dino Vengers pretty late into the series, and they gon their own toyline and series as...





They were also as badass as frak!!!! I admit I like Street Sharks better than Ninja Turtles 1987 because of it's attitude, and action scenes. Sure the story was pretty much the villain of the day formula, and everything about the show was dated, but it made up for it in pure fun factor, and great action...



The series never caught on like the creatorrs hoped it would, but it did have a respectable 3 season 40 episode run, and it's on DVD for those of you who are curious. But where's my reboot with toys for collectors and a new generation of kids? You could make it better than you did before. I can tell you all, begining of next year... Oh shut up, it's not that long... Now to my audience, do you what to see my Street Sharks reboot pitch? I Assume a lot of you liked my Beetenger pitch, I could do another one if you'd like.
