11 Bizarre '90s Cartoons That Only Ran One Season
9. Cadillacs And Dinosaurs
Or "Fourteen-Year-Old Boy: The Show". Because no matter what you had on your Trapper Keeper, it didn't have anything on a show with fast cars and big teeth. Your living room floor came alive in this adaptation of the nine-year-long comic book.
Screenwriter and founder of fictional South American dictatorship Val Verde Stephen E. De Souza acquired the rights to adapt the Mark Schultz' comic, which followed Jack Tenrec and his crew of mechanics in a post-apocalyptic hellscape that also threw the extinct species into the mix. Essentially, it's Mad Max with a T-Rex, a Pterodactyl and other assorted dinosaurs into the mix.
Like its comic, the show leaned heavily on its eco-friendly message. Jack, in particular, is an interesting character - an action hero with respect for all life whose goals are primarily for the greater good, which was exceptionally rare in post-apocalyptic fiction.
The show and the comics still retains a cult following, and plenty of merchandise related to it was the same kind of moderate success the comic initially was. Capcom licensed a fairly decent side-scrolling game that sold well.
The show itself, however, failed to gain an audience on its initial run, producing only thirteen episodes that are now streaming.
