slimm44 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2003 I was looking through the board and seeing Retro TV episodes, Dnever the last dinosaur, danger mouse and count duckula. Denver was good, count duckula was cool, danger mouse i didnt pay much attention to. What were some other favorites? I'll list mine He-Man Ghostbusters Wuzzles Denver the Last Dinosaur The Muppets (muppet babies and muppet show (it's more puppets than cartoons but who cares)) There was a Ghostbusters rip off with a gorilla but I cannot remember the name of it. There were also some Nick Jr. cartoons that were pretty cool too. List away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted May 8, 2003 how bout the disney/abc after school shows: Ducktales, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, etc... Ah yes, the "Disney Afternoon" syndicated block. Last I saw it was called "One Two" and was a block of "One Saturday Morning" reruns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimm44 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2003 I had forgotten Disney Afternoon, those were awesome especially Ducktales, Tale Spin I forgot about The Smurfs and TMNT as well. Eagan469, I have a question for you, my IM screename is pmoney316 could you sign on please? As for Blinky Bill I don't remember him, I only got Nickelodeon during the summer at my beach house or grandparents house until 1993-94 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChris Report post Posted May 8, 2003 There was a Ghostbusters rip off with a gorilla but I cannot remember the name of it. It was called, oddly enough, "Ghostbusters." (It's why the Ghostbusters cartoon modelled after the movie was called "The Real Ghostbusters."). I loved that show. Two of my favourites were Pandamonium (three pandas and a boy try to find pieces of a magic pyramid before an evil sorcerer, short-lived) and Saturday Supercade (cartoons based on old video games, like Pitfall, Donkey Kong, Kangaroo and Q*Bert).

I bought a video tape at a discount store when I was a kid that said "Ghostbusters", for like a buck. I was so proud. Thinking it was "Real Ghostbusters" I got home, popped it in and "Go...Go....GHOSTBUSTERS!" came on. I was like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted May 8, 2003 Man, every time I see my little sister watching a cartoon I just wanna pat her on the head and tell her "it's not your fault cartoons today suck." Where the hell are Saturday morning cartoons now? Cause they're not on Saturday mornings. I can watch Masters of the Universe, TMNT, and GI Joe till my head bleeds. That last cool one they did was Mighty Max...cartoons started sucking after that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted May 8, 2003 Actually the Ghost Busters with an ape was a live action show by filmation in the mid-seventies. When Ghostbusters hit big in the mid-eighties they still had rights to the "Ghost Busters" name with a space, so they made a new cartoon and released the old show on tape as "The Original Ghost Busters." Now you know and knowing is half the battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean... the day and age of great saturday morning children's entertainment is long gone. It was ritual, gather around the TV with a bowl of cereal and watch cartoons and cool live action stuff like Pee-wee's Playhouse and Hey Vern It's Ernest! (loved those shows) from 6:30 to about 12.... good stuff When do you guys think The great Saturday Morning Cartoon era ended? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MaxPower27 Report post Posted May 8, 2003 I was stuck in the mechanic's garage not too long ago, and was subjected to some of the worst Saturday cartoons that I've ever seen. I watched about 4 hours of these and all the characters can be summed up like this: 1- The leader of the group. 2- The rough-around-the-edges person. 3- The nerd. 4- The bumbling idiot. All the cartoons are the same!! I watched: Inspector Gadget Transformers He-Man GI-Joe Of course, I was stuck inside all day because there was nowhere to go and play, so that's how I discovered wrestling. The only good cartoon that I can think of (that aren't adult oriented like Family Guy and Futurama) that are on now is: Recess: School's Out. Don't know when it's on, but I have caught it before work every now and then. The same general characters apply to it, but it's pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted May 8, 2003 GI Joe was my favorite. Although it's not really accurate. Besides the fact no one gets killed. Women don't serve in special forces, even in today's army. So in away it's kinda p.c. I guess they wanted little girls too watch has well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I say that Saturday morning went to shit when spiderman, xmen, and the original power rangers all ended and were replaced by total crap. The pokemon phenomenon didn't help either...

Guest RedJed Report post Posted May 8, 2003 Wait a minute, so there really isnt saturday morning cartoons anymore on the broadcast channels? WTF?!! Weird.....

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted May 8, 2003 The problem with cartoons today is they're now basically sitcoms for young people with a Ren and Stimpy gross out influence. Still, there are a couple of diamonds in the rough. Samurai Jack is at times excellent and The Justice League can be good but is definitely not on the same level as Batman: TAS.

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2003 My problem growing up is my older uptight brother and my conservative parents controlled the tv. So I never got to watch wrestling or more violent cartoons. My parents have broken out of their shell and opened up to more stuff nowdays. I wish they had then. I did however get to watch: Smurfs Bugs Bunny Cartoons In later years I watched tv by myself when my parents and brother weren't using it and managed to check out: TMNT Thundercats Captain N The Mario Brothers Cartoon/Live Action Show Nowdays my mom listens to Metallica and other stuff she never listened to and watches horror movies if they catch her attention. So if she was like that then I can only imagine what I would have got to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
