The series premiere of Pro-Stars (1991)

 DIC had 3 series built around celebrities in 1991. Hammerman was a notorious bomb for ABC. Over on NBC, you had Macaulay Culkin starring in Wishkid, and then, there was Pro-Stars.

While Bo Jackson, Wayne Gretzky, & Michael Jordan were the featured stars, and Jackson & Gretzky are interviewed in bumper segments, like a reality show, other actors, such as Dorian Harewood and Townsend Coleman, spoke for their animated counterparts, who were gimmicked with trick shoes, or, in Gretzky's case, skates, though it looks like he uses roller blades for some missions.

In the opener, "The Slugger Returns", the guys are called on to rescue a retired baseball player, and reunite him with his son. Marv Albert, at the time the lead voice of NBA basketball and NFL on NBC, is heard in a cameo.

Part of the reason this bombed was because viewers knew early on that this was a lame duck, once NBC made it known they were overhauling the lineup the next season.

No rating. Appropriate fare for opening weekend of Major League Baseball.
