It was from Captain Planet and the Planeteers. You weren't missing much 😂
My usual Wiki check - OK, original run was 1990-92, a sequel ran 1993-96.
If it made it into German TV at all, it would most likely have run on the "kiddie" channels that both public TV (by far the market leader generally) and the two private TV conglomerates each have. I think I can rule out public TV, they don't go in for "superhero" stuff. Even the private TV channels don't seem to go in for it much, the only thing I could name off the cuff are the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", several of the aminated series, it seems - and those "Power
Rangers" incarnations, but they were live-action.
Oh wait, one of the really small private channels is big on the Anime genre, with lots of superhero - cum - fantasy stuff.
Anyway, since I usually only cursorily zap by these channels, I may easily have missed any run(s) that the series may have had in Germany.
Some folks might consider the following a joke:
The two animated series my wife I enjoyed watching for a while are the BBC's "Shaun the Sheep" (public TV), and France Télévisions' "Grizzy and the Lemmings" (private TV). Problem is, we've seen all of the episodes that have made their way to German TV. Perhaps more are on the way, we'll have to check occasionally. 😄
