Now, does anyone else remember Samurai Pizza Cats? A groovy parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Personally, I loved it. It was anarchic and had a manic creativity that TMNT lacked.

The Pizza Cats, Speedy Cerviche (pronounced “ser-vee-chay”), Polly Esther, and Guido Anchovy, were a pizza delivery team during their down-time, and the rest of the time saved the city, Little Tokyo, from destruction from gigantic villainous futuristic robots.

I remember distinctly one robotic creature that captured people and drank their blood. For what reason, I forget. But I do remember it was thwarted when it drank the blood of a fat, gluttonous character whose blood levels of monosodium glutamate caused it a serious headache.

Anyway, another relic from the 90s that’s well worth a look. A show that I would have loved to have written for. Still would.

And something to think about. Did SPC and TMNT coincide with an explosion of pizza consumption in Japan?
