Right now you can watch Snorks on streaming — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. Every one of its 4 seasons holds up. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it in order — the character development is cumulative. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

There is a reason Snorks keeps coming up in conversation. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious, Snorks operates well above the genre average. The Snorks is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera which ran on NBC from September 15, 1984, to May 13, 1989. Although not as popular as the animated series The Smurfs, the program continued to be available in syndication from 1986 to 1989 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera's 3rd season, on USA Network in the late-1980s and early-1990s, on the BBC in the late 1990s, and from 2009–2011 and again from 2012–Present on Boomerang. René Auberjonois and Nancy Cartwright bring voice work that does more than the format usually asks for. Across 4 seasons (1984–1989), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The visual gags in Snorks reward close attention without ever depending on it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Snorks works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. Viewers who responded to Bob the Builder will find a lot to like here too. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. René Auberjonois's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. If you have been sleeping on it because of the format, the format is not the thing here.
