Real-life athletic superstars Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky join forces as a superhero team. Usually accompanied by their female friend Denise, this Saturday morning cartoon was introduced by live-action clips of Jordan, Jackson, and Gretzky. Written by Tony Meier
Originally developed for ESPN, ProStars featured Gretzky and Jackson in live-action wraparounds, introducing the episode at the beginning then answering questions at the end, and game footage of Jordan. After the intro, their cartoon likenesses took over. Mike, Wayne, and Bo used their mastery of their respective sport to help Mama do battle with villains, armed with an arsenal of doo-dads, including a custom aircraft. Wannabe ProStar Denise tagged along with the guys, only to wind up usually having to be rescued by them. Written by ldavis-2
