Street Sharks
Street Sharks is an American animated television series about the adventures of crime-fighting half-man/half-sharks. The series was produced by DIC Productions, L.P. and Bohbot Entertainment and was initially syndicated as part of the latter's Amazin' Adventures programming block. The show promoted a line of action figures by Mattel. The creators were David Siegel and Joe Galliani of Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions.
The series features theme music by Michael Benghiat and Lois Blaisch. Additional songs were written by Megan Cavallari and David Goldsmith.
A university professor named Dr. Robert Bolton and his partner Dr. Luther Paradigm create a machine known as the "gene-slammer" which is capable of changing aquatic animals into anthropomorphic hybrids by combining their DNA. In his attempt to prevent Paradigm from using this machine for personal power, Bolton is transformed into an unseen monstrosity, but escapes. Later, Paradigm gives Bolton's four sons John, Bobby, Coop, and Clint the likeness of four different sharks. When Dr. Paradigm captures their friend Bends, the resulting "Street Sharks" rescue him and the resulting battle causes Paradigm to be combined with piranha DNA (for which he is often nicknamed "Dr. Piranoid" by other characters). While the Street Sharks are known to enjoy eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and milkshakes, they have shown a disdain for pizza when they shoot down that suggestion to Bends and Lena Mack.
In subsequent episodes, Dr. Paradigm creates a variety of mutant animals to destroy the Street Sharks while attempting to persuade the inhabitants of their native metropolis of Fission City to imprison them. Of these mutant animals, a few sided with the Sharks themselves: namely Rox, Moby Lick, Mantaman, and El Swordo.
The final season introduced the Dino Vengers: a group of extraterrestrial dinosaurs allied with the Street Sharks against their rivals in the Raptor Gang. When Dr. Paradigm wanted to get a sample of the Raptors' DNA to improve himself, they tricked him by giving him iguana DNA, which transforms him into "Dr. Iguanazoid" leading to him working with the Raptors, where they will reward him by correcting the DNA mistake they gave him. In the end, Paradigm is captured and imprisoned while the Raptor Gang leaves Earth.
The Dino Vengers later had their own series called Extreme Dinosaurs, in which they and the Raptors had different backgrounds.
In 1997, the show was retooled and retitled Dino Vengers Featuring Street Sharks, with the addition of an extraterrestrial fellow team of Dinosaurs named the Dino Vengers who were paired with the Street Sharks. The show also moved to ABC's Saturday-morning cartoon block during the fall of 1997. The Dino Vengers would later receive their own short-lived spinoff, where they were renamed the Extreme Dinosaurs.
In 1995, Buena Vista Home Video released a VHS titled The Gene Slamming Begins, which featured the first 3 episodes of Season 1: "Sharkbait", "Sharkbite" and "Sharkstorm" combined into a feature-length format. Buena Vista followed this release with two tapes featuring Season 1 episodes: "Shark Quest", which had the episodes "Shark Quest" and "Lone Shark", and the other: "Shark 'n' Roll" which featured the episodes "Shark 'n' Roll" and "Fresh Water Shark". Unusually, these releases were branded as regular BVHV releases rather than being released under the DIC Toon-Time Video label, unlike other DIC VHSs released by the company at the time.
