The Adventures of T-Rex | comment |
The Adventures of T-Rex was a 1992 animated series set in Rep City, which looked a whole lot like 1940's Los Angeles, but populated by anthropomorphic dinosaurs.By day, the Brothers are an entertainment troupe playing to the crowds at the Dragon Company night club. When crime strikes, they become a quintet of armor-clad heroes collectively named T-Rex. Bruno, Bernie, Bubba, Buck and Bugsy fight crime with body-part-specific powers (Super-Strength in the arms, legs, tail, and jaws, respectively, while Bugsy had a telekinetic gaze).Their opposition usually comes from Boss Graves, who ran a rival club called the Plantation, but secretly also the head of an organized crime group called the Corporation.It ran for 52 episodes, but has never seen a modern release. | |

The Adventures of T-Rex / int_1206dd74 | comment |
Victory Is Boring: Episode "Crime Takes a Holiday" has Myrna and Flo teaming up to secretly bring down the Corporation. After all its members are in jail, the brothers just spend all their time sitting around their apartment eating chips, not knowing what to do with themselves without crime to fight. | |

The Adventures of T-Rex / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: News commentator Waldo Winch was a parody of Walter Winchell. Edgar J. Vissel, the nebulous law enforcement official who gave T-Rex their orders, was of course a saurian pastiche of J. Edgar Hoover. | |

The Adventures of T-Rex / int_34f590c9 | comment |
Off on a Technicality: Episode "Crime Takes a Holiday" had every member of the Corporation thrown in jail because Flo was secretly feeding information to Myrna. By the end of the episode it's said by the mayor they were all released on a technicality. It's said with relief, because everybody from the mayor to the chief of police to the show's main radio commentator were on the verge of losing their jobs with a crime-free city. | |

Police Are Useless: It isn't that the police are up against a breed of criminal that's way out of their league, that only T-Rex can handle. The Rep City PD are so inept it's a source of humor. | |

Running Gag: Whenever the brothers were about to transform, they'd tap a statue in the middle of their chairs, saying "T-Rex is the name, and crime busting's...", with each one supplying a supposedly amusing observation before the Transformation Sequence started. When the Rexmobile emerged from its garage, it would devastate a newstand on the corner next to it, leaving the proprietor shaking his fist in rage at the heroes as they sped off. Some episodes had a bit where he would try some outrageous (but ultimately futile) plan to stop them. | |
