| - The brainchild of Ted Turner (though most of the actual development work on the show was done by Di C producers Phil Harnage and Nicholas Boxer), Captain Planet and the Planeteers was an attempt to provide a show which would entertain younger viewers, while simultaneously educating them about taking care of the environment. The eponymous Planeteers are a Multinational Team of kids imbued with Elemental Powers to stop pollution. When they are inevitably unable to deal with problems individually, they combine their powers into a single unstoppable entity: Captain Planet. Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990 to 1996) underwent several small revisions over the course of its run -- it was renamed The New Adventures of Captain Planet during its 1993 to 1996 run, which co-incided with a change in production companies -- but the tone of the show always focused on the environment, often with an Aesop about the environment near the close of each episode. Prevalent in the show's theme was the concept of personal responsibility: Captain Planet's Catch Phrase was "The power is yours!" The villains -- who all had Obviously Evil Names to Run Away From Really Fast like Duke Nukem (not that one), Hoggish Greedly, and Looten Plunder -- were strawmen who often seemed to want to destroy the planet just because it was the eeevil thing to do (though there was often a perfunctory profit-motive involved). This was a sincere, if exceptionally hamfisted, way of avoiding offense: if the villains had been given grayer morality, then kids might have compared them to their parents or their parents' employers, who are only trying to do their jobs in an efficient manner. To avoid friction, the writers created villains who were intentionally exaggerated and made to be symbols of the planet's environmental problems (rather than representative of the actions of individuals). Surprisingly enough, while this was a Green-Heavy children-oriented cartoon during The Nineties (remember we are talking about the Dark Age here), it was quite popular. Probably it has a lot of to do with how much this show was promoted, since it was clearly Adored by the Network. The Captain was also The Unexpected Guest Fighter on the Mascot Fighter Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion. The show's first season was finally released on DVD (in the US) on April 19th 2011, just in time for Earth Day. The packaging was, unsurprisingly, made from 100% earth-friendly recycled paper. In July 2011, Cartoon Network announced that a live-action film adaptation of the show was in the works.

In February 2009, Mother Nature Network began airing episodes and unreleased footage of Captain Planet and the Planeteers on its website. In September 2010, the Planeteer Movement was launched with the assistance of Pyle as a means for fans of the show to connect and continue to integrate the show's messages into their lives as real-life Planeteers.
- Captain Planet and the Planeteers was a children's cartoon that aired for a few years before America got tired of being douched all over by the pervasive liberal talking points put forth, such as pollution, global warming, conservation, recycling and Single motherhood. In the program, the protagonist Gaia was portrayed as a benevolent spirit that protected the Earth from such red herrings as pollution, global warming and deforestation. The program also portrayed industrialists and the free market as evil. Another liberal soapbox issue the program addressed was the subject of single motherhood. Not once in the cartoons run was a Father Nature ever mentioned. America, being a nation of it-getters, rejected the blasphemous notion that an unmarried mother could take the place of, or even function without the help of God, a man. Gaia was based off of Soledad O'Brien, but ended up being voiced by heroin loving abortionist Whoopi Goldberg. This article is a stub.
