ProStars was a Saturday morning cartoon show produced by DiC on NBC in 1991.
Originally intended to air on ESPN, the show centers on Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky fighting crime and helping children. The three were to represent the pinnacle of all four major American professional sports in the early 1990s. While Jordan and Gretzky are widely considered to be the best to ever play their respective sports, it is accepted that Jackson was included since he represented both football and baseball along with his highly popular "Bo Knows" Nike ad-campaign. He was a star player, but not analogous to Gretzky or Jordan.
The ProStars hang out in "Mom's Gym", and Mom—a quasi-Yiddish and Jewish mother stereotype—is the Q to the ProStars' James Bond, constantly coming up with wacky gadgets loosely based on sports equipment for the heroes to use. All three ProStars have an overarching character trait that seemingly drove their every action, save their desire to help children. Jordan is the leader, exceptionally smart and talented with complicated contraptions. Jackson is the muscle, immensely strong and owning a bit of a mean streak. Gretzky plays the role of comic relief mostly, his mind always on food.
The stars appear in live action sequences before the show, and often answer questions from kids at the conclusion. Normally this is done solely by Gretzky and Jackson—often in separate sound stages and edited to appear as if talking to each other. Jordan's filmed bits are almost always one line or two, and not part of the skits before the episode.
None of the celebrities provided their own voices for ProStars, however. Michael Jordan was voiced by Dorian Harewood, Wayne Gretzky by Townsend Coleman, and Bo Jackson by Dave Fennoy.
