From Comics to Toons: The Adventures of Tintin (1991)

Herge's The Adventures of Tintin made its American television debut on HBO in 1991, and given the pay cable icon's scheduling patterns, the show could air any time, morning, noon, or night. 39 episodes were produced over three "seasons", spanning a year and change (1991-2), before the series was shipped off to Nickelodeon. Currently, a remastered version is available on Netflix.

Tintin (Colin O'Meara) is an investigative reporter, often accompanied by his dog, Snowy, and his adventures take him here, there, and everywhere. Ellipse & Nelvana, the show's producers, took creative liberties with many of the episodes. Here, though, is a 2 part adventure, in its entirety, with Tintin in Tibet:

I first discovered the series during its rerun run on Nickelodeon. Unsurprisingly, Nick ran it as a daily series, meaning the 39 episodes could be burned off every two months.

Rating: A.
