They'd use to show these cartoons on Nick all the time back in the early 90s. Sports Cartoons' title says it all. A collection of sport related shorts revolving on Hippos, Blue Cats, Dogs, & Pigs.
The Hippos are carefree and are alway see as the ones winning the game.
The Blue Cats are mischievous and never play fair. Occasionally you'd see the kind who are as big as the hippos and are just as devilish as the regular size cats.
The pigs are always seen going up against the cats. When I was little, I kept thinking they were smaller hippos.
And there's the dog, who is always seen as the referee. And sometimes plays along with the hippos and pigs.
There's 45 shorts in total. Completely word-less dialog. And it's entirely G rated. I didn't know the name of this series of shorts up till now. And even though it's forgotten and co-existed. Sports Cartoons remains one of my long time favorites from the original Nick. It's funny, original, and unique.
I'll keep my hopes up for a DVD release on the whole series. It's something the whole family can watch again and again.
