There was an urban legend that the show was terrible so "it had to disappear". Apparently it's perfectly fine, at least as a typical Saturday morning cartoon. Average or slightly above average. Now it truly deserves an official release by WildBrain, with or without the clips.

I'll be darned, it's been found.
Just letting you guys know, WildBrain instantly claimed a copyright for the episode (it recognized it as "Wolf Rock TV 01 01"). This means that it belongs to them and they have all the show in broadcast quality.
very cool! perhaps they wanted to release this show but ran into music rights issues. Anyways thanks for this, here's hoping more Power Hour recordings turn up(as the Internet Archive upload also had an improved version of the Kidd Video episode Dream Machine).
Also according to some Almanac this show might have as many as 13 episodes, wouldn't surprise if it was cancelled before they all aired.
@@jadedheartsz Music rights issues a.k.a: "Ugh, we don't wanna pay for that stuff" :P
@@Grim2 yeah that basically completely neutured Daria, Dawson's Creek, Everwood, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sister Sister, Felicity and several other shows on DVD.
@@Grim2 It's not simply "we don't want to pay" so much as the song rights holders going "UGH! We don't want to give these to you unless you butcher them for a laxative commercial." Well, essentially. It's not a matter of simply paying. It's a matter of intense negotiation with various studios and estates, and dealing with the fact the shows that originally used them had a one time fee and/or allowance. Sometimes the rights holders don't even want to come to the table. Of course, they could always reedit the episodes and just have the animated segments.
Does anybody know if they have Kidd Video, too? I've never seen them claim it on here.
"When there's a wolf, there's a way".
Funny how this show, that ended up being a victim of Keep Circulating The Tapes, ended this episode up with the team’s own VHS tapes being destroyed.
It's the first time I watching this lost 80's cartoon show it's excellent and it should never been canceled in the first place and R.I.P. Wolfman Jack he was great.
It was a Kidd Video Knockoff. That's probably why it was lost for 40 years.
I was born in late '86, and I recall seeing Wolf Rock TV reruns, reaired as part of Wolf Rock Power Hour in syndication during the end of the 80's/beginning of the 90's. The show originally aired in 1984.
And This was a short-lived celebrity cartoon from the early to mid 80's made by DiC? I'm totally into this, though I always assumed that the first shows that DiC made were The Littles, Inspector Gadget, Rainbow Brite, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, The Get Along Gang, Kidd Video and Pole Position.
The animation on Wolf Rock TV just looks like/resembles Inspector Gadget and Kidd Video.
And has "The Littles" vibe, especially in some background music. The same concept was used again a few years later, for Saban's Around the World in Eighty Dreams. A real-life chubby bearded music star who transforms into animals, three children helping him out and a talking parrot.
@@DrxSlump The Parrot was voiced by Frank Welker, of course.
I was born in 1983. I think I have some memories of that Power Hour block, but I remember more of "Kidd Video." I do seem to recall some music video sequences. This was around 1989 or 1990.
@@SilasGTBronte Kidd Video was so weird.
@@susanfit47 I was born December 1982. I vaguely remember Wolf Rock. Didn't catch it in '84(My Infant mind liked Kidd Video instead for some reason) but I do recall watching a Reruns of it on local affiliate KVUE during '89. It seemed very forgettable. Kidd Video was Strange and tried to be abstract thus it was interesting, Wolf Rock was not.
Regarding the GREAT Frank Welker voicing the Parrott, but of COURSE. Frank Welker was EVERYWHERE in the mid 80s. Voicing just about everyone AND Everything.(He voiced Tooter, Phineas and Occy on the Snorks).
I actually recoreded a Lost media video that featured this series 3 days before this was posted. So exciting to see it be found.
Kind of amazing this show is part of where Chuck Lorre got his start. Shuki Levi and Haim Saban for that matter as well.
Hey, to my knowledge here, this was a local syndicated broadcast rerun of Wolf Rock TV in the late 1980s to early 1990's likely 1989 to 1990, when aired as Wolf Rock Power Hour. I'm watching a 39-year-old show from the mid 80's.
Hopefully, more episodes will be found & uploaded.
*Wolf Rock TV* , *Frogger* (7 episodes), *Pitfall!* (5 episodes), *Q-bert* ("Game Show Woe"), *Rubik The Amazing Cube* ("Time Machine Rubik," if it WAS aired after all!), *The Young Astronauts* (pilot episode), more *Trollkins* & *Turbo Teen* episodes, *Kangaroo*, et cetera! :D

WOLF ROCK TV was later rebroadcast in reruns on syndication in 1989 along with KIDD VIDEO in a segment known as "The Wolf Rock Power Hour." As of today, copies of the series remain unavailable to the general public, although some animation cels and merchandise relating to the show have surfaced.
WOW, THANKS SO MUCH AFTER 40 YEARS. THANK YOU SO MUCH
How come Golden Book Video released an episode of Kidd Video on VHS (minus actual music videos) but not Wolf Rock TV, although Golden/Western Publishing was the licensee for DiC?
Additionally, how come RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video/Magic Window or Karl/Lorimar/Kideo Video never released this on VHS either?
OMG... you found it... Haven't seen the intro in decades (I have a bad audio tape of the intro). TY so much!
This all I had for years ruclips.net/video/EWX9Xu2Ea2w/видео.html
I can't believe that I've found it.. it's like the combine mix of both AMERICA'S TOP 10 and MTV
Some of the cartoons that came out around the same time as Wolf Rock TV, such as Inspector Gadget (season 1 was reran for this season), and Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats for syndication, season 2 of The Littles for ABC, Kidd Video for NBC, The Get Along Gang and Pole Position for CBS.
This show ran the same time as Inspector Gadget, The Littles, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, Kidd Video, The Get-Along Gang, Pole Position and Rainbow Brite.
Hoping there will be more Wolf Rock Power Hour recordings of Wolf Rock TV turn up
yeah the Kidd Video recordings are also pretty helpful.
This episode was aired on its original initial airing on ABC and in repeats and airing on the Wolf Rock Power Hour 1989-1990 weekend syndicated package.
As in this Bohbot Entertainment syndicated package of Wolf Rock TV, re-aired as part of the Wolf Rock Power Hour, alongside Kidd Video reruns, I can tell it's syndicated in 1989 to 1990.
Hearing Frank Welker and Noelle North in the same show is like surreal
Hmm, How did this show feature power of love with a short clip from back to the future and part time lover when both songs were released in 1985 way after wolf rock was canceled?? Or was the music video updated in the syndicated release?
Why don't I remember this I was born in 81 but I definitely remember kidd video
18:42 the Wolf Rock Power Hour Video logo just looks like the same logos as Wolf Rock TV and Kidd Video logo fonts.
In all likelihood, we won't see a home release because of the dozens of music rights issues to hurdle over. "Daria" and "Beavis and Butthead" has the same issues.
What were the original music videos were aired on the original ABC airings of all 7 episodes of Wolf Rock TV, and how many music videos were updated the syndicated airing/repeat/rerun/release of this show when it was aired as part of Wolf Rock Power Hour?
That's a good question... but it's almost certain that 13 episodes were produced and exist in Wildbrain's archives.
0:38 MICHAEL😍😍😍😍
The OG Kidd Video but this was back when music vids ruled the airwaves
That theme song is about twice as long as it needed to be.
Oh my god, amazing this has been found!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I hadn't heard of this until I came across a mention of it a while back on a blog article. Also, I wouldn't get to see this when it premiered as it was a couple years before my time. After finally getting to watch an episode after waiting for streaming of it to appear for the longest, it since became another animated series on my favorites list, one of my favorites by DiC, and one of my few, favorite, celebrity cartoons. A former crew member who worked on this wrote a negative review on IMDB about how supposedly bad it is. I have no idea what he was writing about, why he would claim this, and why he would try to drive anybody curious and interested in it away from wanting to check it out at all. I agree it shouldn't had been dropped as soon as it was. This is excellent and did well at doing something different. Now that everyone who didn't get to see this before the premier episode, at least, was brought back, the waiting we were forced to do was worth it. It didn't disappoint and it's enjoyable. Although I wish the whole series were available to view in its entirety already instead of one or some episodes being added at a time.
Back in 1984, DiC had some pretty high-quality TV cartoons, such as this, "Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats," "The Littles," "The Get-Along Gang," "Kidd Video," "Pole Position" and "Rainbow Brite". By 1985 they started to look and sound kind of cheap.
And of course, I love that Shuki Levy music!
Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors wasn't cheap and didn't look cheap at all. DiC's Quality started declining in 1988.
Frank Welker as the Parrot
Oh dear, I hope she’s OK from fainting to know that guitar was from the famous singer,
I bet she would love to get his autograph
"The Wolfman is out there, baby...!"😎
Rob The Wonderful made A video about lost cartoons that needed to be found, and this was one of the shows was on his list. I'm sure he's be please to know about this upload right now.
Wolf Rock TV was just reruns from the original ABC show from late 1984, but this time airing as reruns as part of the syndicated weekend/weekday Wolf Rock Power Hour programming block in fall 1989 to fall 1990. And it ran during DiC's destruction of Inspector Gadget reruns, Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Camp Candy, Captain N, The Karate Kid, Alf: The Animated Series/Alf Tales, Kissyfur, Dennis the Menace reruns, Beverly Hills Teens, C.O.P.S. reruns, the short-lived Ring Raiders, Maxie's World, Super Mario Bros. 3, New Kids on the Block, The Wizard of Oz, the first run of Captain Planet And The Planeteers, the second run of Alvin and the Chipmunks and the second run of G.I. Joe.
Thank you for uploading this! I’ve been looking for this show. It only lasted one season. Happy Heavenly Bday to him!
Well finally a vid on wolf rock tv...
Just dont have the vegas idea , on how long i had been looking for this , such a rare find... ( been watching this on reruns , when it had came on along with kid video , on the so called wolf rock power hour... )
I'm Flabbergasted 😵💫 🤘📼
About time! Thank you very much!!! :D 👍 😛
9:11 Great Scott!
They should make a crossover between Wolf Rock TV and Jem & The Holograms. Maybe where the bad guys are trying to get away with the stolen guitar, Jem shows up and uses one of her holograms from Synergy to stop them.
Does any one have the commercial break bumpers for WolfRockTV when it was rebroadcast in reruns as part of the syndicated Wolf Rock Power Hour in 1989-90?
Was the music video updated in the syndicated release of Wolf Rock TV?
So Wolfman Jack was an actual werewolf running a low-power TV station with three kids and a parrot? And 60% of the show was music news and videos? Huh. While it's cool that this was found after all these decades I can see WHY it was 'lost' for so long.
Music Video B-Roll, Filler, Meandering Characters, Yeah, Wolf Rock TV was fairly Forgettable. At least Kidd Video tried to be interesting and only played 2 minute clips of Music Videos.
That explains why this was lost for 4 decades.
Was this some kind of community service plea deal on the part of Jack or something?
Can you upload "Bad News Birds" (ep. 2), "Bopper Goes Ape" (ep. 3), "The Nerds Fell to Earth" (ep. 4), "No Time For Sarge" (ep. 5), "Rockin' Robot" (ep. 6), "Wolfman's Granny" (ep. 7), and the unaired unknown episodes ep. 8, ep. 9, ep. 10, ep. 11, ep. 12 and ep. 13?
haven't been found yet, but hopefully they will soon.
I wish I had... this was found by Bsh on the internet archive. Keep an eye on his account "BshUp"
Can you post Wolf Rock TV - S01E02 - "Bad News Birds"?
That music is so cool
dope
Those kids should fix up their van because it looks like it’s falling apart
That is so cool awesome animation show
Great job show Hewey news group
RIp Wolfman Jack
Regarding the time sensitive music news magazine format of the show, it might have been better for this to be a prime time special that aired several times during the year, instead of a Saturday morning series to be reran numerous times.
I don't think there were many re-runs on national TV. Else, we would've had material on-line since a long time ago. Just like with Kidd Video, which indeed had many re-runs and episodes have been circulating since the early 00s.
@@DrxSlump no, what I meant is that if wolf rock was never canceled, I don’t know how it’s time sensitive MTV news format would’ve panned out in reruns if only 13 episodes would be produced.
Back then most Saturday morning shows would premiere 13 new episodes in the fall, then keep showing reruns during the entire season until next fall. That’s what I was referring to
but mainstream music from this era was actually good, unlike if they did a show like this now. lol
@@jwilliams7554 They stopped airing New Episodes only 6 weeks in. Everything stopped after Episode 7 in Late October 1984.
