The Leopard from Lime Street - the TV series

[Professor Bear]

They were still showing that horseshit on Northern Irish tv well into the 1990s, thanks to the vagaries of regional broadcasting and the pre-digital-revolution Sky TV buying up all the US content that wasn't nailed down.  The one about the alien that was just a silver marble which for some reason had to be animated via stop-motion was another highlight.

and the Disney Kids style superhero/fantasy shows are just 80s domestic/high school sitcoms with pervable costumes.

/Harold Steptoe voice: You DURRRty old man.
Pervs whacked off to Blossom, Hannah Montanna, and lady Transformers long before Disney started churning out superhero sitcoms, so I don't see the addition of costumes causing much of an uptick in noncery.  A show in this vein would really just be Power Rangers or Masked Rider all over again, and after those shows came out, Western civilisation didn't collapse - okay, it did actually, but those two things are unrelated.  Probably.

Almost everything anyone mentions (ever) now makes me think of this: Don Cheadle is Captain Planet

I defer to your specific expertise.

Wasn't suggesting kids in superhero costumes was actually driving perversion, merely noting that the makers are aware of that segment of the market.

Also, I may be conflating Nick and Disney, I honestly don't know.

It was the phrase "lady Transformers" that gave me away.

Transformers ARE formers!

I'll get me coat.
