My Crazy Youth: The Time That the Street Sharks Met (Not Extreme) Dinosaurs

 Shark Week focuses on Sharks in water.  Boring!

Let's see them on the Streets!

Dr. Piranhoid has a very circuitous plan to take out his enemies- the titular Sharks.

First- do a robbery with your henchmen disguised as them.
Second- Lure them somewhere.
Third- use Anti-Matter to power a Time Machine (!!) to send them to the Past.

I have no notes.
The group is split up, allowing this to work.

One of them is sent back to the Age of Dinosaurs via a Time Tunnel...
While the other- who waits patiently for the villain to pick a new time- is sent to, well, you can read.

Mind you, this is the Street Sharks audience.

You can read, right?
Dinosaur Time is not great for one our Hero, who flees constant danger.

The more recent past is better for the other one, who is taken in by the people of Atlantis- who are, of course, Mermaids.

I'm sure you're asking yourself 'Why do 2 different Times in your Time Travel Episode?'  Good question.
They will help him if he stops the invading Neptunians (who she mentally projects a picture of).  Sounds difficult, right?

Actually, it's Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience.
Yep, he bites one sub and it flees.

That was...the whole Army?!?!?
As luck would have it, the Atlanteans have a Time Machine (why not?) and send our Hero back to find his buddy and then to the Present.  Thanks, Deus Ex Machina!

It is a good thing to, as our Heroes back home break the Time Machine.

Everyone is happy, even the bad guy...who vows to make a new Time Machine!  Dun dun dun!
A pretty silly Episode that, ironically enough, has a time management problem.  
They have 21 minutes for the Episode.  They have both too much and too little going on.

The Dinosaur Plot is the best, as it is paced pretty well and goes up to the End.
The Atlantis Plot is clearly rushed, as we get some real shortcuts.  The Atlanteans are Telepathic, so they can skip the Exposition.  They immediately trust him and he immediately agrees to help.
Within a minute, he confronts one ship, bites it and that's it.

Weirdly, the issue seems to be the parts back in the Present.  They add nothing and take up time that could have been spent in the Atlantis Section.

Why only send 2 back?  Why not have the 2 pairs sent back together?

I suppose it is far too late to Ghost Write for a Show from the '90s, eh?  Oh well, I have a mouth and I'm going to use it...as opposed to our Hero in this one shot (who has no mouth but must scream).

I hope you're having more fun during Shark Week than Mr. No Mouth here.  Don't worry- he got better.
