Wolf Rock TV: read the LMW article here!!
So, this is Wolf Rock TV, an animated series from 1984 that didn't last long! Only 7 episodes were aired!
And of course, all of them are lost.
It was based on a real radio DJ nicknamed "Wolfman Jack". Don't know who he is? Well, I think you have a reason why this cartoon didn't resurface yet...
He runs a rock music radio station... but of course, like a lot of cool 80s cartoons, he is also living cool adventures while assisted by a group of cool kids, and they have a cool funny sidekick animal, Bopper the parrot. And you know he's KEWL because he is "hip-talking and moondancing" !! (seriously!!) This will appeal to the young audience!
"Hip" animals and crazy robots! Don't kids love when cartoon adaptations go all over the place?
Anyway, apart from animation cels and a bit of merchandise... what has been found?
An old TV preview starring "Weird Al" Yankovic who is visiting a theme park along two actors dressed as Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo:
Who cares about Wolfman Jack himself? The real star is Bopper, everyone! He is a "hip-talking and moondancing" parrot, after all!!
And just today, user "Cyber Bishop" has uploaded the theme song he recorded on an old cassette player back then! Cheers to him!!
