OK KO: Let's be Heroes! ran on Cartoon Network for 3 seasons over 22 months (2017-9), but the network made the mistake of running the series on weekdays instead of Saturdays. Had they made the show weekly, it might still be on the air, but for the network's obsession with Teen Titans Go!, which had one crossover episode with OK KO that also involved other CN series such as Steven Universe & Uncle Grandpa.
Full episodes are not available on YouTube, just excerpts, like this one, in which Captain Planet (David Coburn, essaying the role for the first time in 21 years) appears, as does Kwame (LeVar Burton).
Not every show that uses the Cal Arts animation style has been successful for CN, as we all know. Hated the design for Captain Planet, as the producers just couldn't be bothered to use older models. I didn't see the show the first time around, but I felt that the show had promise, and could've stood to have a better time slot.
Rating: B--.
