By the time this season aired, The Smurfs had become somewhat of a joke. The kids who had grown up seeing the first episodes were now too old for such a "Baby Cartoon" and so most of us (like me) never gave this season a chance. Which of course is a crying SHAME, since it took a decidedly sci-fi turn and went in to the subject of TIME TRAVEL!

THIS. SOUNDS. EPIC!!!

I have never actually watched an episode from this season of the Smurfs, but in my head it's already the best season ever :)

Agree or disagree? Leave some words in the comments below for the purpose of open discussion, and maybe even vote up this show in our Best Of 1989/1990 Poll!

I watched that intro and... I'm a little frightened by it. Frightened enough not to continue watching the rest of it.

By this time, I think the kid characters had put me sufficiently off The Smurfs that I was mostly watching Muppet Babies.

I loved the Muppet Babies.

If nothing else, it was nice to have an actual story arc, for a change of pace. (The series, as I was recall, was mostly episodic.) And then, got canceled before it reached its conclusion. Lame.

Oh, well, there is always fanfiction, right?

The concept was better than the execution. Even as a child I liked the idea of time traveling smurfs and had they kept the characters behavior the same it would have been interesting but of course part of what the smurfs so good was that they belonged to a particular place and that particular place had particular villains. Like so many things it just veered off.

Well, that was my freshman year of college, so I guess I wasn't watching any cartoons then. I had no idea that the Smurfs even had a time-traveling season!
