Nah, more like "You'll be my musical slaves for your self titled and sophomore albums, then we'll stop promoting you at your third album and leave you in debt to the studio!"
Sorry... I've always been of the opinion that 80s nostalgia is cancer. I prefer cartoons that tell a well-rounded story (like most anime), instead of well... this. Sorry if that seems insensitive, I just don't understand nostalgia in general.
Finally, proof that I'm not totally crazy! I couldn't remember the name of this show, but remembered the intro where they were humans at first, then cartoons, & everyone thought I was making this up. LOL, I knew I didn't hallucinate this!
I never really watched the show, but loved this song. It’s so nostalgic. Takes me back to Saturday mornings in the 80s. It gives me a nostalgic lump in my chest. I miss my mom, grandma and aunt.
I remember it just like it was yesterday. Waking up early on Saturday morning & fixing myself a bowl of cereal, then turning on the tv to watch my favorite cartoons.☺ It's too bad that future generations won't get to experience that same Saturday morning feeling.
Saturday mornings with cereal and pop tarts. Should cool times. During the week my mom could get me up for school but Saturday morning I was up and pouring milk in to my bowl by 7am
Yes, 100%. Now that everything is streaming, kids can watch all their favorite cartoons anytime they want. I feel like Saturday had more significance when you HAD to wait til that day to watch certain cartoons. Foofur, Garfield and Friends, A.L.F. the Animated Series, CBS Storybreak (my fave).... it was a different experience that is gone now
I am 50 years old I remember this cartoon as a teenager and I wish they will put it on DVD cuz I would buy it. This is the only way I could watch music videos from MTV cuz we didn't have cable
I used to love this show. Watching this vid brings back so many memories. I started my first band within months of this show and even wrote my first song (called "ucronius" about a singing dragon. It may have something to do with this cartoon. I have yet to re-watch any full episodes). Anyhoo, this is like opening a closet you haven't used since childhood - old clothes, records, baseball cards, etc. Blah blah. I could go on and on. Anyone remember the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon with a bunch of stars voices? Brings back those same lovely fuzzy carefree memories.
I couldn't remember the name of this cartoon to save my life.I use to watch this every Saturday morning.It was one of last cartoons that came on in the morning around 1:00, well that's the afternoon but in the 80's cartoons would start from 5:30 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon.Ahh the memories
LOL, same here! I remember this, but it was one of those things where nobody else did & would look at you like you were crazy. I finally typed in 'cartoon where they started out as humans', & I remembered that the one character was named Whiz, so that helped.
Same here, dude....thanks to internet search engine suggestions, I realized it was spelled "Kidd Video", instead of "Kid Video". My older sister was more into this show, though, while I was into "Transformers" back then.....
@@peterparquer1873 I, just moments ago, was trying to make my fellow Gen-Xer remember this show. She couldn't. I was like "On Saturday mornings, it would come on right before Menudo tv show ...at least where I lived in MS!" Anyway, all I could remember is that it had Video in the title and the kids transformed from human band to cartoon figures. Then I remembered Kid Video but I had misspelled it. Glad wonderful RU-vidrs captured this so I could prove this was an actual show.
I love this! I used to watch this when I was five..back in 84. Used to wake up early in the morning and watch this along with the Smurfs! Ahh the good ole days!
Kidd Video ran for 2 seasons, each with 13 episodes, and ran on NBC from September 15, 1984 to December 7, 1985, but continued in reruns on the network until April 4, 1987. Later that same year, CBS picked up the show. The show was aired in syndication from 1989 to 1990 with the other animated show Wolf Rock TV in a segment under the title The Wolf Rock Power Hour. From 1991 to 1992, WGN aired the show (with no video clips and stock songs replacing the interludes.) Currently the last time this show aired on American Television since 1992.
I can say personally, that this is one of my favorite cartoons, so many memories are brought back everytime I hear this song or view Kidd Video...I think I used to watch it at my grandma's house on Saturday...wish I were back in the 80s myself!!
I have been waiting for this for a long LONG time. I was only 9 or so when it was new. I watched on a little tv in my bedroom cause my dad and brother were watching saturday wrestling in the main room. what memories....thanks
WOW!!!! I am completely STUNNED that I found this on here. I was watching tv and someone said something about a "kid on video" and this popped into my mind. Had such a crush on Brian Scott. Was great seeing it again. Watched it EVERY Saturday morning. Good stuff. Thanks for posting. Oh the memories of youth...hahaha
Man, it's sad my daughter won't experience the excitement of Saturday morning cartoons sitting with a big bowl of cereal watching the best toons ever. In my house there was only one tv and I had an older brother that always had dibs and Saturday morning was MY time.
Omg!!! I found this cartoon!! I recorded this intro to an audio cassette tape and I finally got to play it back. Search on youtube and found it here!!! Yes!!! Can’t believe i kept the tape all these years.
Geez, I LOVED this show so much!! I thought I would never hear the song again! I was about six or seven when I watched it, so I never really noticed how hot Carla was :) And I too thought I was the only person in the planet that remembered Kidd Video.
thanks for the vid. i couldn't even remember the name of this show. all i could remember is "from my video, to my radio". being 7 yrs old at the time, this cartoon rocked!
I picked up one of the VHS tapes for this maybe 5 or 6 years ago on clearance at FYE (along with one for Bucky O'Hare, one for Stone Protectors, two for Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, and one for that awful MK animated film). I'm converting it over to my computer as we speak, and this was the first video I came to when I went searching online. Must be damned near 25 years since I've seen the show!
Kidd Video ran on NBC from September 1984 to December 1985, I could only vaguely remeber it until I visited thier website and then I remembered: How I used to make my mom turn to Kid Video at 11:30. I love how addicitive the theme song is.
Wow..I have'nt seen this cartoon in years..I was 9 years old when this came out and I use to watch this faithfully on saturday mornings and sundays somstimes when it came on.
Ah the good old Saturday morning cartoons lol how many you remember once Soul Train came on it was time to go outside. They don't make Saturday cartoons like this anymore....sad
Kidd Video ran for three (3) seasons/years on NBC from 1984 to 1987. For the 4th season in late 1987, the program moved/bouncing over to CBS in reruns. In 1989-90, the show was revived to local stations as half of the syndicated Wolf Rock Power Hour, with fellow rock and roll cartoon, Wolf Rock TV. The episodes were again repeats, but new music videos were added.
The thing is, many of the cartoons we grew up with have been in reruns or has since been profiled in some way. But this is one that slipped through the cracks. I haven't seen this since I was a small child. But the into and song is carved I to my brain. Instant trip to the past.
Me just now realizing 40 years ago I was watching Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch and didn't know it 😂🤯 This song will live in my head rent-free forever.
Man this brings back so many memories of Saturday Morning for me. I had the biggest crush on Carla. Every time they would show her as a cartoon, or in real human form, i would get the biggest blush, and smile! lol
By the way the easy love Music video on this show has been stuck in my head for 36 years now. I just today learned where that music video came from. It's just one of my earliest memories and I thought I made it up.
