I remember this gay ass cartoon. Really, really contrived. Not as bad as Tarzan though.

His race was kept ambiguous in the show, even redesigning his look at the insistence of the execs. So he doesn't really have a race to speak of, in the show's canon. But yah, the creator originally wanted to make him black.

His big fallout with ABC was over Janeane. Some ABC child psychologist thought Janeane was too assertive and negative. So the suits told him to make her more "maternal" and "supportive". They also said he needed to round out her glasses because they felt the sharp edges scared children. Then they canned the original voice actress, hiring one that sounded less harsh and frightening. He quit for that reason, along with "The Junior Ghostbusters", and the mandated focus on Slimer.

It came on be4 Jason of Star Command. THese were the best shows on Saturday morning. All the networks had some kind of cool cartoon on. Now all you have is news for like three hours just to get money n ratings. Now all kids have is Fox, thats all anime. Kids WB was the station to watch. Not now.

J Michael Strackzynski helped create Blackstar and also worked on He-man. He borrowed some elements he came up with while on Blackstar, like Marlena being an Earth astronaut and her ship falling through a wormhole.

Thnx dude didnt know that he worked on Fat Albert n helped created Blackstar. I thought they were goin to make him Native American. But that went to Bravestarr a few years later.
