But now that I'm older and a little bit wiser, I now reserve full appreciation of the cosmic and biblical cheesiness this cartoon had to offer. Yet I still rooted for the Planeteers and was satisfied whenever the bad guys were dealt with.
Back then, I thought the show was pretty cheesy with very little variations on the plot lines. Anyhoo, probably the only reason why I watched this show in the first place was that there was nothing else on at five in the afternoon on Saturdays. The people of LA had to find out the hard way. Plus, whether you like it or not, concern for the environment is not a throwaway, frivolous subject to mock. It's a CHILDREN'S SHOW - it needs to be simplified and non-cynical for the consumption of the younger audience. Of course the show is PC, just like "Sesame Street" is PC.
Unlike many of the reviewers here, I'm NOT going denigrate a television show just for the sake of bashing a political ideology. If its for the money, why can't they advertise and sell to kids the idea that environmentalism is 'cool' and needed? I mean, its better that telling kids to buy dolls with plastic clothes, in my opinion. In any case, its a pity that people today can't try to make something 'worthwhile' to show the kids, to gently expose them to what the world really *is*. I think we need to have 'important' cartoons like 'Captain Planet' back, because when I was impressionable and making up my own identity during my teenage years, it wasn't there for me and remains only a memory of when I was a little girl. And when I reached High School, we were taught about the environment and biology, and I didn't care anymore about the dying world around me. There were organisations that supported things like 'Clean up Australia Day', but there was little community or family support for my ideals and as I grew older, I became disillusioned that I could ever make a difference on my own. But back then, there really wasn't a lot of support.

It made me really care about the environment not just the cute ponies and flowers, but for every environmental issue that came up on the TV or in the newspaper. This cartoon impacted on my life a lot when I was younger.

I know, its a broad generalisation, but the world of commercialism has taken over children's programs, and while I still enjoy cartoons, I can only feel free from the 'buy this' and 'you must have this' craze when I watch ABC TV (no commercials). Now I'm older and somewhat more corrupted at age 18, I look back to those days and I can honestly say that though it may have been cheesy (the entire 'Go Planeteers!' and similar catchphrases) the cartoons like 'Captain Planet' that I was brought up on were so much more educational and fulfilling then the ones I see today. When I first started watching 'Captain Planet', I was pretty much the ideal target audience 5 years old, a sympathetic female with innocent cares for the environment, and that 'virgin' mindset that there was always going to be just good, bad and the unfortunate.
