Street Sharks, an American animated television series, delves into the thrilling adventures of crime-fighting creatures with a unique hybrid form, part man and part shark, reminiscent of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The series was masterfully crafted by DIC Entertainment between 1994 and 1995. In 1996, a significant twist occurred when the Street Sharks joined forces with the Dino Vengers—a precursor to the Extreme Dinosaurs, with a notably distinct origin—and the show transformed into "Street Sharks and the Dino Vengers." This animated series, akin to many children's cartoons, was meticulously designed to promote an existing toy line of the same name, which was ingeniously conceptualized by the toy innovator David Siegel and the creative duo of Joe Galliani from Mr. Joe's Really Big Productions.

The series kicks off with a dramatic episode featuring Dr. Paradigm, a university professor, who daringly experiments with gene manipulation on a marlin and a lobster. His colleague, Dr. Bolton, who sought to dismantle Paradigm's research, met a tragic fate when he was transformed into a hideous monstrosity by the malevolent scientist before managing to escape. Driven by his own misdeeds, Paradigm subsequently abducted Bolton's four sons—John, Bobby, Coop, and Clint—and subjected them to a transformation into sharks. Their first act post-transformation was to consume a hotdog stand, followed by a daring escape from the police by diving into a lake and burrowing into the city through the earth. With a clear mission, the brothers plotted to apprehend Paradigm, compelling him to revert them to their human form and unveil the truth behind his genetic experiments.

In the episodes that followed, Paradigm embarked on a sinister campaign to convince the inhabitants of Fission City that the Street Sharks, as they were now known, were ferocious, ruthless murderers, mutated by their father, Dr. Bolton. The brothers, however, stood united in every episode, determined to thwart Paradigm and his lethal Seaviates from turning the citizens of Fission City into mindless mutants.

The series featured a memorable catchphrase beloved by the characters, "Jawsome," and their culinary preferences leaned heavily towards hamburgers and french fries (though they were not averse to consuming almost anything, even if it wasn't traditionally considered food). A clear expression of their disdain for pizza was also evident, a subtle nod to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who had made pizza a central part of their identity.
