Snorks

Snorks is an animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera. It was shown on NBC (and on BBC1's after-school block, "Children's BBC") in 1984. It was similar to Smurfs, but set underwater. The series comprised 65 half-hour episodes: 108 segments and an unaired pilot. Production was suspended during the 1986/87 season as Snorks made a transition from NBC to syndication.

Summary[]

The Snorks are tiny underwater people with tubes in their heads that propel them from place to place. They live in Snorkland, a modern utopia at the bottom of the sea that combines modern conveniences with the ocean. The main group of Snorks is a group of teenagers who try to save the town whenever Snorkland is in danger. The main hero of the series is Allstar Seaworthy, a yellow snork who is brave, always thinks up creative ideas and is leader-like.

Other characters include Allstar's love interest, Casey Kelp; his pet octopus Occy; Tooter Shelby, the snork who can only speak toots; Casey's fashionable best friend, Daffney Gilfin; Dimmy Finster, who disappeared in Season 3; Allstar's rival, Junior Wetworth, and Dr. Galeo. For Seasons 1 and 2, most of the episodes' dangers were various criminals and predators. Then in Season 3, the main villain named Bigweed showed up. Bigweed is a sinister urchin made of seaweed, who hates snorks and wants to make them suffer. When Bigweed showed up, Corky the snork officer came along and started foiling Bigweed's schemes. Overall, this series was and is good.
