The Specialists (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Specialists is an animated television series that appeared on the second season of MTV's Liquid Television in 1992. It was created and directed by Joe Horne, creator of the previous MTV series The Adventures of Stevie and Zoya and a director on The Boondocks.

Overview

[edit]

The plot revolved around three detectives for hire: the group's leader Mastermind, who wore a white Nehru jacket and as his name implied was the brains of the operation; Kittka, a female escape artist who wore a skintight blue tuxedo and had blue hair and skin; and Samson, a large, muscular man in a black suit. Their many foes during the 10 three-minute episodes included an evil crime clown, an intergalactic poodle conspiracy, an evil genius (and rival of Mastermind's) named Dr. Raoul Dendrite and his schoolgirl-uniformed assistant Delilah, and Negator, who subdued his opponents with a highly sarcastic wit (and aided by a Don Rickles mask).
