In what we thought was one of the more interesting cartoons of the 1980’s, Kidd Video was an MTV inspired creation that was half live, half animated and all Rock and Roll. The premise was a teen band that gets transported to the “Flipside”, which is animated and an evil record producer with the hope of making them their musical slaves chases them. A video would end each episode, and though there were only 22 created, it still resonates fond memories for many today.

The Rock and Wrestling connection took the pop culture world by storm in the mid-80’s and Hollywood took notice by making a film…that wasn’t very good. Played by a bunch of nobodies, Kick was the band who went on the road with Rowdy Roddy Piper and Face from the A-Team. It was a good thing that Piper was there as he distracted from the fact that Kick…sucked.

Kaptain Kool and the Kongs was a Rock band created for the Krofft Supershow; a Saturday Morning children’s variety show from the 70’s. They were presented as wacky and goofy (and frankly acted like they had too much sugar or perhaps a different substance) though were mostly just annoying; though most of things produced by the Kroffts had those qualities.
