"In retrospect that cartoon really sucked"

[wonkabar]

I call it "The Teela Principle"

All good days....happy memories, though as this thread is proving, memories really is what some of them should remain...

Almost like yesterday.

I remeber they played that show with Hulk for awhile.


And they fucked up HE-MAN btw.
Such promise when teh toys first came out. Then the show was all sugar-coated....I was so disappointed.

Memories,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were...

You know what though? About a year ago on satellite I saw "He-Man" on the menus and dialled it in...stoned like a Lord I was. Took me over 5 minutes to realise I was watching some modernised new version...where it was mostly the same characters, but drawn slightly more...well....um....seriously and had a more grown-up tone.

I watched a couple of episodes and people even got killed and shit in one of them. It just felt kinda wrong.

It was pap I know - but I preferred the original with its stoopid (sic) Ram-Man and cowardly Cringer....

Fuck Orco though...fuck him in his stupid-ass-clown-hat.....

[wonkabar]

Orco: The Jar-Jar of his day

Man-at-Arms...an old man with a goofy moustash named Duncan? He looked all hard fuckn' psycho-killer on the action-figure

[Doc Holliday]

Tell him you've been "Dunkin" his daughter...see how old foolish man he is then...


No no no - its fucking happening again.

These are TV shows, not real life. It ends here and it ends now!!!

*slaps [own] face*

[wonkabar]

You know you want to see Teela nekkid

You know you want to see Teela nekkid

Just when I thoght I'd got out of that "Cartoon Characters That Are Hot" thread........you pull me back in......

[Cpt Kirks 2pay]

Really??!?!

[buster00]

Speaking of... You know how in the 80's they went and took all these classic cartoons and shows and infantised them?? Like the Muppet babies, Scooby Doo Kids and Flintstone Kids?? Did anyone ever make a monster babies cartoon?? The closest I can remember is Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School. That would rock hard. Especially if the Frankenstein monster had to wear a football helmet and peed himself (because he's ALF).

Did they get "Rick Moranis in Gravedale High" in Canada?

Jesus, that cartoon was stupid. I wouldn't want to revisit that bullshit.

[Nachokoolaid]

Anyone remember that show with wrestling stars from the WWF? Hulk Hogan was a good character, and The Million Dollar man and guys like the Junkyard Dog were the bad guys. And they'd get in adventures and shit. Remember that?

[wonkabar]

Unfortunately.

How 'bout al those stupid cartoons based on real people?
Mr. T, Gary Coleman etc.

Where's the Andy Dick cartoon huh?

[Tyrone_Shoelaces]

Shirt Tales!

Thanks. I thought I had erased that from my memory......

I appreciate it.

[darkjedijaina]

that reminds me of Duck Tales. and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.

i haven't seen them since way back then so i've no idea if they hold up or not.

[Brocktune]

Anyone remember that show with wrestling stars from the WWF? Hulk Hogan was a good character, and The Million Dollar man and guys like the Junkyard Dog were the bad guys. And they'd get in adventures and shit. Remember that?

it was called "Hulk Hogan's Rock & Wrestling".

and i would just like to say that the level of contempt for he-man and the masters of the universe in this thread makes me sick.

you bastards.

Hey, he-Man is a great show.

These traitors probably harbour a secret love for She-Ra and that rainbow eared owl instead.

[darkjedijaina]

hey, i still have he-man sheets. my son is using them. but, c'mon. if you watch the show now....

[wonkabar]

he man no tough as me and sunsword!

[TonyWilson]

I had a She Ra Doll

[doglips]

Pussy.

You fixed your sig! yay!

Not that subtle anymore though, are they?

[TonyWilson]

I had He-Man stuff too, I just had that one as well.

I was a completist.


*yeh that'll work*



EDIT

You fixed your sig! yay!

No one noticed before

[doglips]

Completist? HAHA!

I bet you had the complete set of Sylvanian Families too.

[TonyWilson]

No, but I'm getting severely fucked up Rainbow Brite flashbacks here.

[doglips]

LOL, yeah, take that biatch!!

My multi thread shit-toy attack!

[wonkabar]

Sectars and Power-Lords didn't catch on too well

[Flumm]

What with your Pete1964/Ghandi jibes, and this subtle slap in teh chops, this can only mean one thing....

































TonyWilson you are my new, and by new I mean first, and by first I mean non-Phlem or Automan based, NEMISIS.


OK, not really, I just miss Coldy

And may I present Wonka's new AV -



My brother had loads of these guys.

[Brocktune]

sectars

i still have one of those lying around.

Oh shit, dude, I didn't mean it like that. Sorry man...don't call my mum a snowblower

[wonkabar]

Sectarific!

[unikrunk]

True, however, the insect-glove-transport with battery operated wings was tits. Most of the 80's toons I loved were nothing but ads for Hasbro or Kenner, but fuck it; the bug-mitt was hot.

Captain Power I always found a little suspect; never had the gear, and the show was crap.

Inhumanoids - have to try and find an episode, see what's going on there.

Anyone ever catch The Secret Railroad? It was produced in Quebec, and the French version was called Les Voyages du tortillard . This show was seriously tripped out, kind of a Yellow Submarine type thing happening. It aired on TVO and Global in the early to mid 70s.

This kid Simon goes into the creepy ass-basement of his slum apartment every night, and some kind of pan-dimensional Railcar comes through and picks him up, and the episode has begun.

The Kid and this old man, Mr. Passenger, go on these fucked quests, voyages, trips…whatever; it ruled. Mr. Passenger had a cat, Melanie, and the Kid had this girlfriend in the other dimensions, chick with an afro shaped like a star.

/must find an episode

[wonkabar]

I had one of those things! I totally forgot till you just mentioned it....LOL!

[MonsieurReynard]

Power Lords, that sounds like some cartoon from the days of the feudal system "We must defend the land from the evil Chartists!"

[wonkabar]

Yeah, even the comic ate shit. It was supposed to be a mini-series of like five or something and died after two issues.

[John Smith]

Sorry Doc the little bit of the 70's I was alive and the early 80's was a blur to me at that age. Did not mean to make you feel old. I was going a couple of decades memory and didn't mean the faux pas. Most of what I remember is the juggernauts lines, wolverines accent, and the fact that his claws seemed 3 feet long. Oh yeah and piercing the fruit. I'll try and keep my decades straight next time

[John Smith]

Oh Yeah I wanted to ask if anybody remembers the Hair Bears from Hanna-barbara. I can never find anybody who remembers them. If I can recall they rode an invisible motorcyle around.

[Bob Samonkey]

We got Hair Bears


And Paw Paw Bears here


I love me some crappy Hanna-Barbera shows...

[Al Shut]

I noticed that this thread lacks in japanese anime series, I'm sure a lot of them don't hold up too good as well.

Mila Superstar comes to my mind.

[Tyrone_Shoelaces]

Everybody sing along!

"Down in the valley with the Monchichis"

[thebostonlocksmith]

How about the Poddington peas, anyone remember them?

"Down at the bottom of the garden,
Amongst the birds and the bees,
There are a lot-a-little people,
They're called the poddington peas"

For a start they aren't people, they're peas. and secondly they aren't from poddington... This series was made by a group of people from southend, and as such, is cheap and rubbish...

[Doc Holliday]

We got Hair Bears

Ever get the feeling Scoob had one "snack" too many...grew a crazy ass afro and went hang out with some other dudes for a while?

Ummm.....no....me neither.

[Doc Holliday]

Its all good buddy....its the fact that I am old, that makes me feel old.

[Brocktune]

Oh Yeah I wanted to ask if anybody remembers the Hair Bears from Hanna-barbara. I can never find anybody who remembers them. If I can recall they rode an invisible motorcyle around.

technically, the show was called "The Hair Bear Bunch".

apparently, someone slipped joe barberra some LSD during lunch one day, and *BANG* you had the hair bear bunch.

[wonkabar]

Groovy Goolies anyone? I remember the Mount Rushmore episode...."I'm here, in the ear" "Nobody knows I'm in the nose"
And has anybody seen the 80's Flash Gordon cartoon that just came out on DVD? I remember it as being really good, but I haven't seen it since...well, when it was on.

[Brocktune]

Groovy Goolies anyone? I remember the Mount Rushmore episode...."I'm here, in the ear" "Nobody knows I'm in the nose"

i think there were actually 2 different series of "Groovie Ghoulies"

the first one was shows featuring the ghoulies exclusively

the second was more of an anthology type series, where groovie ghoulies bits were placed as bumpers between other cartoons. and you would always get different cartoons too. although the two they would always show the most were animated versions of Lassie, and Gilligan's Island.
The other cartoons were of lesser to unknown characters like "Fraidy Cat", an animated version of "My Favorite Martian" and "Wacky and Packy" etc. there were several others, but i cant remember them right now. they never showed the good ones anyways. just gilligan and lassie, like i said.

there is a groovie ghoulies dvd, or dvd set coming out very soon, if it isnt out already. however, i dont know if it is going to be the first or second incarnation of the ghoulies. but the way that rights issues go down these days, im putting my money on the dvd being of the first series. way less rights to haggle for, and people to pay.

its a bummer for me, because i used to watch the second one.

I seem to remember the Groovie Ghoulies co-starring on the original "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" toon.


Mmmm...Sabrina...yummers....

[MonsieurReynard]

I remember the Hair Bear Bunch, basically Top Cat with a slightly different sartorial aspect and without the blatant Bilko ripoff.

[John Smith]

Here's another I ran across today in fact. Not as old as some of the one's discussed here. But Mighty Max looks awful now.

[DennisMM]

Houndcats, anyone? It was a "spoof" of Bearcats, a one-season show about renegades in the '20s running around in a Stutz Bearcat. The original show was dreadful and the takeoff was worse.

[MonsieurReynard]

Mighty Max was a bizarrely dark cartoon as I recall.

What was the name of the (and this is real!) cartoon where four dinosaurs in some kind of mock 20's (including finger clicking and gangster suits) would fight crime in robot suits?
