But then again, CBS would also be the network that, one year later, would be airing WildCATs, the animated series based on Jim Lee’s comic from Image. All of these series are generally less self-serious. Which is to say that this was an odd fit for a line-up that included the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Beakman’s World, Marsupilami, All-New Dennis The Menace, and Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Xenozoic Tales netted seven awards (five Harveys and two Eisners) for creator Mark Schultz. In addition, the comic was highly respected. The series was often mentioned in the pages of Wizard magazine. Its covers were always catchy when browsing the shelves of the comic store. I was a little familiar with Xenozoic Tales, the comic that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs is based on. I was also in high school, though, so my attention may generally have been drifting from Western animation and toward anime.

The show features a stern looking man in the mold of Doc Savage driving a modified classic 1950’s Cadillac. With Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, I have the opposite question. Take out all the innuendos and it would make for a fine addition to the Saturday morning cartoon line-up. In that case I wondered why this show, with a detective that looked like a ninja turtle, was something to show on prime time. I had reviewed Fish Police some time ago. ![]()
