Snorks are basically underwater beings with snorkellike appendages on their heads, which basically gives them their name. It was created by Freddy Monnickendam in 1974 as a comic book. (I found that part out from a Snork-related website, BTW.) Generally, they were an imitation of the Smurfs, only in an ocean environment set in the modern day period of the 1980s. The Snorks are also cohabitated by both males and females, whereas the Smurfs are a little overpopulated on the male side. They are led by a very pompous mayor named Wetworth who has very little knowhow in dealing with outside threats to his community. The young Snorks include Allstar, Daffney, Junior, Tooter, and Casey, who with the help of Allstar's scientist uncle Dr. Galleo and his pet Occy explore the underwater regions and help protect their community from any outside threats. The series began on NBC in 1984 and somehow moved to USA Network, where it continued up to 1989 with new episodes, including those where the Snorks even helped humans on land.

Actually, you can add another good Snorks page to your list.The URL is:
http://www.angelfire.com/tv/quasisp This has pictures of some rare Snorks items available during the 80s, as well as information on a possible pilot episode produced around 1982. Let me know what you think. :-)
