Before Pokémon, before Transformers, before Voltron, there was Battle of the Planets. One of the first Japanese animated TV series to get a major berth on American airwaves, Planets is a horrible, horrible, great show about five teenagers who fly around in a fancy blue fighter jet (which can ''transmute'' into a bird made of fire...don't ask) looking for evil alien robots to fight. What makes it so bad is also what makes it so priceless: the '70s lounge soundtrack, the ridiculous costumes, and the voice work of Kasem, who can make almost anything sound like an episode of Scooby-Doo.
