    • Trivia
      Tom Cruise originally agreed to provide the voice for Captain Planet. He recorded 6 episodes then backed out for unknown reasons. When David Coburn was recast as captain planet, he re-recorded Cruise's episodes.
    • Goofs
      Many times the Planeteers are captured by the echo-villains who don't bother to take their rings off them to stop them from using the rings powers to escape and then call Captain Planet.
    • Quotes

      [repeated line]

      Kwame: Let our powers combine. Earth!

      Wheeler: Fire!

      Linka: Wind!

      Gi: Water!

      Ma-Ti: Heart!

      Captain Planet: By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet.

      Kwame, Wheeler, Linka, Gi, Ma-Ti: Go, Planet!

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening titles from the first (two?) series, Linka is said to be from the Soviet Union. In subsequent series, she is said to be from eastern Europe.

    Wow...you guys are harsh!
    I may be in the minority but I was first introduced to this show once it was on syndication and actually liked it. I never saw the reason to write such an extended response that dealt with the complete and utter negativity of a TV show or movie as I've seen here. It truly is amazing that there are individuals that would sit there and write such elongated responses. Is it political, absolutely. This show is somewhat ahead of its time, as I don't recall a strong effort being made to concern ourselves with the environment at that time. Regardless, I enjoyed it and whereas I have not seen this show in quite a while, I imagine that I'd enjoy it as much as I did in the past were I to see it again.
