Sunday Funnies: Midnight Patrol: Adventures in The Dream Zone (1990)

 The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera was starting to run out of steam by 1990.

The studio collaborated with England's Sleepy Kids to produce Midnight Patrol: Adventures in The Dream Zone, which lasted 1 season, but was very, very popular across the pond.

The Patrol is a group of kids, along with their dog, Potsworth (who was the show's star in England), and a stuffed animal. When their dreams take them into the Dream Zone, all except Rosie gain special abilities. Potsworth, in particular, is granted the power of speech, enabling him to vent about his issues in the real world.

The voice talent included Janice Kawaye (Captain Planet), Rob Paulsen, Michael Bell, Ronnie Schell, and Jim Cummings.

In this sampler, Rosie has trouble just trying to be nice to a boy she seems interested in....


I never saw the show when it first aired. Back then, Sundays usually meant a late breakfast with friends over bagels. Based on what we have above, our rating is a modest B-.
