Captain Planet and the Planeteers is an American animated environmentalist television program, based on an idea by Ted Turner and Robert Larkin III.^[2][3] The show was produced by Andy Heyward, Robby London, Barbara Pyle and Nicholas Boxer. The series was developed and co-produced by Turner Program Services along with the partnership of DiC Entertainment and ran new episodes from September 15, 1990 until December 5, 1992. A sequel series, The New Adventures of Captain Planet, ran for three seasons and was produced by Turner Broadcasting and then-corporate sibling Hanna-Barbera Productions. Both programs continue today in syndication.^[4]

The program is a form of edutainment and advocates environmentalism.

Ah yes, the “Go Green” movement.  One would expect it to be an aptly named title for a Kermit the Frog album. Unfortunately, the amphibian has pulled a Pontius Pilate and washed his hands clean of this entire situation. This latest video installment addresses the militant environmental activists and their effective manipulation tactics aimed squarely at today’s ignorant, fickle youth

All the regular environmental fixtures are here.  Barack Obama, SUV’s, polar bears and cow farts.  Who could ask for anything more? I would also like to take this moment to formally express my hatred for both Ted Turner and his crappy, poorly drawn, douchebag of a hero known as “Captain Planet.”  How many more lives must be ruined?  How many more boys must be stuffed into lockers, Ted… How many more?
