I’m not sure I made Captain Planet proud (who was he anyway?) I was more of an
“up and at ‘em…Atom Ant!” fan myself.
“up and at ‘em…Atom Ant!” fan myself.
He was a superhero who came to being when five different teenagers from different parts of the world who wore magical and powerful rings symbolizing Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Heart put all five of those elements together by calling on them. When he appeared, he would always go, "By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!" And the teenagers would go, "Go, Planet! He stood for keeping our planet clean as opposed to "dirtying" it up. And when he left, he would always say, "The power is yours!"
15/16. Captain Planet threw me off, because I thought for sure I saw the Hanna-Barbera logo after an episode in like 1994 or so. Go figure. But I'm a MAJOR Hanna-Barbera fan (especially of the more obscure ones).
14 out of 16, and no, Captain Planet would NOT be proud, as his cartoon was one of the ones I got wrong. I know TBS (Turner Broadcasting Service) had a hand in producing it, so I thought H-B was also involved. I also thought that Teddy Ruxpin might have been another foreign H-B product. But the rest? Not a problem for a lifelong cartoon buff!
11/16. That produced by & network stuff never stuck with me anyway. Saw an episode of Wait Til Your Father Gets Home in Florida on a Disney World vacation in 1972 when I was 9. Got home & couldn't find it on any of our channels and none of my friends had even heard of the show. It was like a Twilight Zone episode, like I'd seen a TV show that actually didn't exist.
That's because "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" was *syndicated;* that is, the show was sold to individual stations (not on a network) to play at certain times of the day. I guess the stations in your area must have been too cheap to buy it.
But, fear not - "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home" *is* available on DVD as a manufactured-on-demand title from the WB Shop (the first season only; the second season is not available on DVD because before Warner Home Video switched the first season DVDs to manufactured-on-demand, it didn't sell well commercially). See the WB Shop's website for more information. Good luck!
By the way: 14/16. Tripped up on #s 3 and 10.

14/16. Surprised that Ruby Spears, who produced the Rambo and Hulk Hogan's Rock and Roll Wrestling wasn't listed.
"Rock and Wrestling" was from DIC (now Cookie Jar Entertainment). Pity it isn't available on DVD at this time (I heard WWE Entertainment and Cookie Jar were having some legal hassles).
Also: Why wasn't DePatie-Freleng Enterprises (DFE Films) discussed? DFE was responsible for the "Pink Panther" cartoons (with United Artists), and two childhood favorites from 1972, "The Houndcats" and "The Barkleys" (both of which I have on DVD).

"Captain Planet" was a close one, but I guessed correctly that they meant not H-B. DiC did indeed produce the show at the start for TBS, but after Turner Broadcasting bought Hanna-Barbera, the show eventually switched hands to H-B in 1993.
Since the question asked "Who *brought* the world Captain Planet?" I surmised that they meant who produced the show at its premiere. Glad I guessed correctly! :)

A lot of the Filmation shows are easy to identify just from the sheer amount of stock footage that was re-used in every episode. H-B at least tried not get too repetitious with their visuals (their CONCEPTS, on the other hand, are a different story).
