I'm 50 and I have no idea who captain planet is. When and where was that a thing? Did you need to have cable? Because like 5% of my friends had cable. I've still never paid for it.
Captain Planet? He's a hero, he's going to take pollution down to zero. https://youtu.be/OiYjTb3opAA?si=-wXp-JTkWkhAGELC
I watched a little bit of that and I've definitely never seen it before. I'll ask again, where and when was that a thing?
The 90s
I was a teenager in the 90s and lived on all of the cartoons. I've got nothing. Maybe only on cable or something?
"Teenager"? If you're 50, you're 15 years too old for Captain Planet, fam.
Hmm well TBS created it, but it used to come on sat mornings on regular broadcast (NBC) where I was.
It was voiced by tons of well known names, ran for 6 seasons, had a horrible live action movie made with Don Cheadle. Idk I personally didn't watch it, but it came on after something I did watch. The only thing I can really remember about it, is it's theme song...
September 15, 1990 - May 11, 1996.
Wikipedia is your friend.
I watched the cartoon in the UK as a child, I don't remember how old I was.

It was an early '90s cartoon, and yes, you needed cable to watch it.
That explains it. Nobody I knew had cable money then.
Not in the UK. I don't know why but on the 4 channels I had I still managed to watch it.
It comes on Boomerang, so idk maybe watch an episode of jabberjaw like when you were a kid and stick around to catch some Captain Planet
Cool but I don't have boomerang
Pretty sure in the late 80's early 90's it was on Fox kids broadcast tv
