New Nickelodeon Show: Speed Racer - The Next Generation

by Kjersti Wasiak

I think many kids today are not familiar with the original Speed Racer, however some may have seen it, as I believe it used to repeat on Cartoon Network. Also, Nickelodeon did the short lived Speed Racer X series back in 2002. Parents on the other hand may remember the original series from when they were a kid. One thing is for certain this comeback of the series has good potential to be an entertaining show for kids, especially those aspiring race car drivers.

The newest revival of the Speed Racer series is called Speed Racer - The Next Generation and will normally be airing on Nicktoons. Tomorrow (April 27, 2008), though, the first episode of the series is being aired on Nickelodeon at 2pm Eastern time. This show plays off the original characters with this being the next generation. The main characters are Speed and Racer X, who are the sons of the original Speed Racer.

Next week on May 2nd at 7pm Eastern time the real premiere on Nicktoons will be with a 90-minute showing combining the first three episodes that are connected parts of “The Beginning” episode. The first 30-minutes of this is the episode they are showing on Nickelodeon tomorrow. This 90-minute “movie” is then going to be released on DVD on May 6, so I am thinking if you miss the premiere they are not likely to be replaying it for a while in order to get people to buy the DVD. This new series also comes right before the May 9th theater release of the live action Speed Racer movie, which includes an IMAX version.

    The Wachowski bros certainly put a lot of effort into making Speed Racer… the movie overall looked and felt like a cross between anime, a kaleidoscope, that Flintstones movie, a video game and the Dukes of Hazard

    I have not seen the movie, but this new series of Speed Racer on Nicktoons is pretty good. Entirely different people worked on the series, though, than the movie and the people you mention I am pretty sure the ones you mention had nothing to do with the new television series I am talking about in my post.
