In this rephrased version: Over four seasons and 53 episodes, the animated series “Men in Black” from 1997, starring Keith Diamond as rookie Agent J and veterans Agent K portrayed by Ed O’Ross and Gregg Berger, battled the universe’s most notorious aliens. These included shape-shifters, symbiotic beings, parasites, and the series antagonist, Agent A/Alpha (David Warner). Characters from the movies were also present: the caffeine-dependent Worm Guys (Patrick Pinney and Pat Fraley), the talking canine Frank the Pug (Eddie Barth), the dog brother of the sugar water-drinking Edgar, played by Vincent D’Onofrio.
Since its finale in 2001 on Kids’ WB, the series has become quite elusive to find. Only the initial 13 episodes have been released on DVD, and Men in Black: The Series has essentially vanished from Sony’s free, ad-supported platform Crackle.
To the delight of ’90s kids, you can now stream the TV show “Men in Black: The Series” for free on Tubi. Although only 15 out of 53 episodes are available (consisting of 13 episodes from season 1 and two episodes from season 2), it’s currently the best choice for fans since the DVD is no longer in print and digital downloads aren’t available. Unfortunately, until the Men in Black trilogy reappears on streaming platforms, this will have to suffice.
The television series titled “Men in Black: The Series” is inspired by the original film, which starred Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and was based on the Aircel/Malibu comic book series. This series revolves around a secret agency that deals with extraterrestrial matters, as agents J and K, along with their colleagues like Director Zed (Charles Napier) and Agent L (Jennifer Lien and Jennifer Martin), work tirelessly to maintain the safety of Earth from alien intruders and malevolent beings, serving as Earth’s intergalactic security force against the dregs of the universe.
Contrary to the 1997 film that saw Agent K (Jones) retire and get neuralized by Agent J (Smith), the animated MIB series instead followed the escapades of Agents K and J.
In this ongoing series, Duane Capizzi, one of the creators and showrunners, chose to modify certain aspects and disregard the movie’s ending where Kay was neuralized and resumed his old life. By doing so, he kept Kay as a character in the series, as he believed that the central relationship in Men in Black was between Will Smith’s and Tommy Lee Jones’ characters.
Instead of creating an authentic follow-up, which Amblin and Columbia might produce eventually, Capizzi opted to disregard the ending and carry on with more adventures.
Indeed, following up on the original cast, “Men in Black II” premiered in 2002, followed by “Men in Black 3” in 2012. Sony expanded the franchise with “Men in Black International” in 2019, featuring Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson replacing Smith and Jones as the leading duo.
