About this show

The Planeteers, five teenagers from different parts of the earth, each receive a ring of elemental power--earth, wind, water, fire or heart--to combat eco-villains everywhere in the world. And when they combine the powers of their rings, a new superhero, Captain Planet, is created, with powers far greater than the sum of the five.

It was so poorly-written and awful that it is absolutely hilarious. Watch if you like ironically enjoyable shows.
