Snorks - Season 1 Episode 1 Journey to the Source
Overview: Snorkland gets ready for a big Steam Festival, which is voluntarily called off due to a steam shortage. There is a reward for 5000 pearls for anyone who can go to the Source and try to restore the town's steam. The Snorks, along with Junior, travel to the Source where they find out that a space rocket particle had fallen on the steam source when a rocket blasted off into space a little while earlier.

This was a cartoon that only the 80s could provide. You can almost hear the pitch for it "Imagine the Smurfs, underwater, for the MTV generation." And that is kind of exactly what you got, the smurfs that did more than that annoying "la la la" song, set underwater, in a vibrant 80s color world. What kid couldn't love that?
