You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: Stumper! My brother and I watched a Saturday morning cartoon in the 1980s I believe. The opening credit scene was a teenage boy and girl on a scooter being chased through the streets of a city. It then morphs into animation for the show itself. They were part of a teen rock band that I think gets transported to another world where they fight bad guys and struggle to get home. What is it?
A: This isn’t a stumper (although I do have folders full of questions I’ve not been able to answer). When I linked you to a YouTube video of a show called “Kidd Video,” it fit your memories. According to the reference book “Total Television,” the show originally aired on NBC from 1984-87 and later in 1987 on CBS. The book calls it “an imaginative blend of live action, cartoons, and rock videos … centered around a four-piece rock band that was seized by the evil Master Blaster” and turned into cartoon characters. The live-action cast included Gabriele Bennett, Robbie Rist, Steve Alterman and Bryan Scott.
