- "Kidd Video" was a strange cartoon/live action series that aired on NBC Saturday mornings from 1984-1985 (reran until 1987) that centered around a band ("Kidd Video") who were kidnapped from reality & sent into a cartoon world.. each show would feature the band trying to escape the "Flip Side" and find a portal that led back into the real world. The show was designed to cash in on the MTV craze, and each show featured an original music video at the end featuring the live action "Kidd Video" members..
Anyway, here's a sample of the music videos that were featured on the show. Notice that one of the members is played by the kid who played "Cousin Oliver" on the "Brady Bunch"..
The songs featured are; Video To Radio, Video Romeo, Turn Me Up, Automatic, A Little TLC, I Love Rock & Roll, You Better Run, It's Over When The Phone Stops Ringing, Where Did Our Love Go, Ending Credits
I'm 50 and loved this show as a teen. Since vinyl is back I wanted to get the lp and finally obtained a copy of the soundtrack from Israel
Didn't know they had a vinyl records.
Just turned 48 😰
@@kennethdemuchest3985 They had a license issue and weren't available in the USA.
@@X7393 I'll be 47 2 weeks into next month. I had such a crush on Bryan Scott. 😘😘😘
47.. and yes
in a way mich, this cartoon describes what happens when artists sign to labels. they go from being music artists to looking like "cartoons" of their former selves. The kidd video series was , in a way, a glimpse into what happens when an artist signs their talent away on the dotted line.
That and how they fizzle out snd never get popular again
I am sooooooooo glad i have all of these on dvd uncut & got the album (rare find) here in my collection. I might just start loading the episodes and the album versions of the tracks on youtube.
Unbelievable. I was driving and “tainted love” came on. After more than 30 yrs it all the sudden came rushing back! I had to Google it. “80’s show where band turns into cartoon”. It popped right up and here I am 15 mins later. And they say time machines don’t exist…I’m there all over again
The 80est cartoon ever
God how I miss the carefree and happy simplicity of my youth. I LOVED this cartoon when I was small.
Me too.
Watched this every Saturday morning. Catch you on the Flip Side!
I use to like this cartoon back in the 80, especially when they had music videos that break away from the cartoon for a quick minute or so. I was sad they cancled the show. They should put this one on DVD or even a bootleg.
80's Stroke!!
The big hair, the outfits, the voices, the SCORE!!
So happy I got to live in that generation where we could actually play outside and not be glued to a phone ignoring everything around.
Barely adolescent me was so in love with Carla lol...but Robby Rist was probably the best musician in this band
I will ALWAYS love this cartoon! And especially the music man! I remember how rad it felt to watch this show....when I was a kid. Before like every ones negativity haha.
Hey, I wanna join this band man!
Oh man, this is one of my all time favorite shows!
"Cousin Oliver" was played by Robbie Rist, Whiz in Kidd Video and also the voice of Michaelangelo in the TMNT Movies from early 1990s
Mr. Rist also voices Choji Akimichi in the English dub of Naruto
@@BryonYoungblood Robbie Rist was already in his twenties when on Kidd Video!
And there was actually a Soundtrack album released in Israel Only!!
@@martymcfly5434 I'm going by character names here, Carla was the oldest at 22 , then Ash 21 , Whiz 20(cousin Oliver) and Kidd 19 in 1984. :)
I also remember seeing him in an episode of Knight Rider (the 1980's version, not the shit remake from the 2000's) as well. Pretty sure it was either right before or during KV.
I used to sing this song with my big sister still remember it to this day! “Video Romano” Classic!
I always thought Kidd Video were the precursor of the image-conscious music video age. Sounded appropriate for a young crowd on Saturday mornings.
"20,000 lines of resolution" It's 2020 and we're finally halfway there!
I was addicted to this show
Genie: You have one wish, what will it be? Me: Drop me off in the 80's for eternity.
I liked this cartoon series especially in the early 80’s!
The "Come back to me" song is missing. Good collection. I watched this cartoon in the early 90s (here in Italy). Great Kidd Video! 😊
Though it is a co-production with DiC, this was Saban's first cartoon they produced.
My big sister watched this non stop 😮 this definitely was a classic!
Me too
This is 80’s at its best these are masterpiece’s appreciate what you’re seeing and listening too ❤❤❤
Sang these songs every Saturday morning before chores cuz Kidd video came on at noon
WKYC Channel 3 was our NBC affiliate in Cleveland back in the day I loved the Chipmunks and Mr. T. was my stuff along with Kidd Video
I'll admit to watching this in the 80's. It's so funny to look back at stuff from the past-corny! Anyway am I the only one who thought Master Blaster looks like Eddie Arcadian from The Last Dragon movie? The 80's & 90's were pretty cool & funny at the same time with lots of interesting memories....
Wow!! Thanks for posting this video!! I'm in my 40s and remember watching this show Saturday mornings along w/the regular awesome cartoon lineup!! Great going down memory lane.. 😃
Carla's songs are my favorites! Turn Me Up is legit one of my favorite songs of all time, and I actually think their version of It's Over When The Phone Stops Ringing is a lot better than the real song they covered it from.
Their version of It's Over When The Phone Stops Ringing was actually the original. The Eighth Wonder version came later.
This was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Seriously needs to be released.
I had such a MAJOR crush on this show (....and the singer 😅)
I remember this show very well. I even remember writing to them & getting an autographed picture. I always thought Gabrielle was so pretty & Bryan was a dreamboat.
This was one of the few reasons why I enjoy waking up early on Saturday morning, of course, most of my friends never like them but I did. I wonder what they are doing now. Thank you for adding these.
excellent video sadly because the way the music biz is now a show like this could never happen again :(
I Watch it When I was a kid and Never Wanted To miss it
Favorite cartoon probably ever! But this was the 80’s just like the rest of the cartoons of the 80’s favorite 🤩
In October on the 26th I’ll be turning 50, but like I posted many times already on the internet they need to start getting these 1980’s cartoons out on Blu-ray already! Because if they don’t we are still the lost generation that had it good 👍🏻 when it came to those cartoons! Wake up movie and cartoon industry! We’re not dead ☠️ yet!😡😥we want to also pass on the torch to the next generation as well!
Yasss!!! OMG I still remember all the words of this theme song. :D
I knew I wasn't crazy this show existed, im glad!
So 80s it hurts.
Yes . But it hurts in a very way. It makes me want to go back to the 80s and relive what it was like back then .
Reminds me of waking up to Saturday Morning Cartoon’s!
Back in 1984 "Kidd Video" debuted on NBC and lasted two seasons. Later in 1987 it was re-run on CBS!
7:00 "The Master Blaster has a ding-a-ling tree! We're all doomed!!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
mich , in a way, the kidd video series made a commentary on the real music scene, especially then. When artists sign their names on dotted lines, they become "cartoons". of their former selves. They go to flidside (L.A.) where they have to deal with copycats (tribute bands).
They have yet to get these 80’s cartoons out on Blu-ray! It’s a absolute disgrace that they are ignoring the kids of the 1980’s especially the preteens 😔😥
It wasn’t in Blu-ray then
Well the funny part is this is out on Blu-ray in Europe but not here! Unbelievable! 💥😱😡
The cartoon industry is absolutely ridiculous and to me there once again ignoring the kids of the 80’s!
But I guess they forgot about us yet again! And yes I’m mentioning the X Generation!
@@X7393 It's never been out on Blu-ray or DVD. Anything you've seen is just a pirated compilation someone's put together.
Oh yeah, I forgot that KV did a nice Pointer Sisters cover.
Me acuerdo cuando era un niño 😃 y mis padres tenían mucho cabello. Que tiempos. Bu bu bu.
If only MTV could’ve seen all this.
I like the think that when the brady's left to start a variety show, cousin ollie started goung to the california party scene and joined this band while coked up one night
I miss this cartoon. NBC was awesome for catchy stuff
BIG THANKS, LOVED IT ❤
LOL! @ 14:40 Noam Kaniel,same dude who did the theme for Power Rangers Samurai! With Saban's name up there as well. And another trivia tidbit : Carla originated the phrase "Ai yi yi!" before Alpha 5 did! They should have done a "Power Rangers"-like concept for this show with live-action instead of a cartoon,lol! But I love this show,I miss it! Thank you! :)
questi sì che erano cantanti e facevano delle belle canzoni io da bambino le ascoltavo parecchi negli anni 1984-1985!?
Anyone else think Danny Devito would be PERFECT to play Blaster Master if Kidd Video EVER got made into a live-action movie somehow for some raisins??
Actually Christoper Murney, the bad guy from the Last Dragon (Eddie Arcadian) would have been perfect If this were made into a movie back in the 80’s.
@LVdude Plus Rum Ham
Or Jason Alexander from Seinfeld.
@@antwaunjohnson4166 Ha! That's a brilliant idea.
I very highly agree with Byron about the great Danny devito portraying the main villain of this cartoon from my childhood.i mean being an original viewer at three years old.
non esisteranno mai e poi mai piu' dei bravi ed onesti cantanti rock americani come voi!?
Call me crazy but I remember them also doing the full version of Video to Radio on American Bandstand (I think, or it was a similar show) before the cartoon was on in the fall of 1984 as some sort of promo.
I Loved this show & the soundtrack especially "We Should Be Together" that was my Favorite song💯
I remember the turn me up video like in vivid details that people literally think I had a bad acid dream or shit til I show them this
KIDD VIDEO ROCKS!!!
I remember likeing that one "Turn me up"
Lol. The master blaster has the dingaling tree.
In the minute @6:22 automactic of pointer sister version kidd video wow !
Awesome The PointerSisters!
So everyone else is waking up for rehearsal and the lead singer gets up and just goes YEAHH fist pump.
WE COUNTING ALL THE SHEEP IN THE SKY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🧊🧊🧊🗣️🗣️
I loved this cartoon
non esisteranno mai e poi mai piu' un gruppo rock bravi così!?
This is all im going to listen to today!
6:22 KIDD VIDEO's Version of The Pointer Sisters' AUTOMATIC!
I miss this show a lot
@mst3k4evr 80's in all its glory I had the same hairstyle as this girl & the girl from the Thriller video when I was in 6-7th grade. This cartoon and Soul Train made my Saturday mornings as a I kid ;-)
video romeo ftw
I am hoping and praying that someone can bring those four people together someday. It would be great to see them perform again on stage together or at least talk to one another by remaining in contact. Communication is very important in life.
Someone has to bug that company DIC to get this cartoon out on Blu-ray! It’s right now exclusive to Israel 🇮🇱 unfortunately sad 😔
Why did the villain take their car into the mirror? Isn't one of the fundamentals of having slaves making sure they don't have means to escape?
Did leg warmer Tinkerbell just say "The Master Blaster has the dingaling tree!"? 7:00 What the...?
mitici,grandi,intramontabili kidd video!?
Love it, thanks for this!
I've got an .mp3 of the full length 3:32 version of the theme song that I found YEARS ago on some .mp3 sharing program... probably on the original Napster, it was so long ago! It was apparently ripped from an Israeli Kidd Video album. I guess Kidd Video was just really popular in Israel?
Me too
When i was young i sang. Chumaplio instead "from my video to my radio"
OMG i still remember the lyrics after all this time
So Originality oh the 80’s classic!
I like the one called time, song by Bryan Scott who plays kidd video
Epically cheesy! :D They're not as horrified as they should be that a wormhole to the astral plane has opened up in somebody's warehouse!
The best!!!
Yeah I’m going to be turning 50 on October 26th sad 😢because I don’t see our 80’s cartoons out on blu-Ray 😔😱😓
9:17 KIDD VIDEO's Version of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts' I LOVE ROCK 'N ROLL
It’s weird because it was the 1950-60’s remade for the 80’s yup- heck it was even in those 80’s music videos!
Cousin Oliver .
Growing up in 1980, was myself being born into the decade of big hair, tacky fashion and different types of music until Kidd Video came into the scene of Saturday morning cartoon lineup on NBC (ding, ding ding) at Sept 1984.
questi si che erano cantanti i"mitici Kidd video"
Robbie Rist looks like Paul Kantner.
@theoriginalmistajonz Hee hee glad someone out there confirmed that I wasn't crazy for seeing the resemblance! I now feel validated that you share the same thought ;-)
@michanita hahah, when I finally watched The Last Dragon, I thought the same exact thing lol
Had a mad crush on the girl!!!
What is happening to them as singers?
360p, hum, I think it's the first time I meet you.
Mi serie favorita. 😁😁😁😁
I was always unsure if the gang was really singing or not?
We were.
So are these all their songs?
This is the most 80s the 80s has ever 80s
Is it possible for you to get Euphonius the Melodious Dragon in English only and place it on Utube so it can be view as it was on TV 1984?
Yeah that's a rare one. Surely, someone must have uploaded it by now?? Maybe the Internet Archive?
