Dont you open that Trap Door!!

The cartoon Battle of the Planets has to be the best, closely followed by He-man, Thundercats, abd Mask Crusaders

Oh Happy Days.

 

Is it sad to own up to having bought the Trapdoor dvd last year?? I got it for my kids honest!

I was always a fan of Dangermouse and its spin off Count Duckula. I can remeber watching Jayce and the wheeled warriors and ullessys31 as well.... Dont make em like that any more..

Any one remeber Chorlton and the wheelies??? "Allo lil ol' lady".

 

Does anyone remember Bod? He was top, totally pointless.

Thundercats, Knightmare and Button Moon all the way for me

 

How about this:

I actually bought that last year...

 

LOL. Nostalgia means different things to different people. For my money, Jonny Quest (original version) was the best action cartoon ever made. I did give in to temptation and buy an older British TV series (only ran two seasons, though) about The Invisible Man. It's dated of course, but still good fun and the special effects aren't bad considering what they had to work with back then. It was made in the late 50s but didn't make it to my side of the pond until the mid 60s. I only remember bits and pieces of the show and it was interesting watching it again as an adult. Ah...the good ol' days.

 

Moomins for me baby!

Closely followed by Dogtanian, Willy Fog....and one that my older sister made me watch - "Fraggle Rock" "Chase your tears away (Clap Clap) ready for another day....

...and hey wasn't there "Ulysees" with a small robot?


On that subject, anyone remember the books: "Ant and Bee", "The Garden Gang", "Meg and Mog", "The Hungry Caterpillar" or "Where's Walley"?........

Ah back in the day.....

 

Excellent - that's the one!!

 

Funnily enough my lil girl is reading "Biff and Chip" books at school now! No sign of Meg and Mog or the Hungry Caterpillar yet.

How about janet and John books? Can remeber reading all of those when i was younger.

Yes there was a lil red robot in Ulysees and a talking space ship!!

Also watched Fraggle Rock, l liked Gobbo! also watching the Muppets now with my kids lol

 

LOL - so you get the chance to re-live your childhood allover again - jealous!!!

 

LOL

'Ulysses 31' - I remember it well. With his little robot 'Nono'

By Christ there was some crap around in the 80s. Anyone remember 'Battle Of The Planets', or 'The Mysterious Cities Of Gold' or (whisper it quietly, devotees won't hear a word against it) Dogtanian?

Amazing that anyone who grew up in the 80s managed to achieve anything approaching a semblance of normalcy with the tosh we used to watch.

 

I used ta love Battle of the Planets.. it was also called soemthing else like ZOLTAN! with all the voices red dubbed to make a differnet story from the originals.

Dogtanian was ok but not special...

And on Saturdays there was always "TERROHAWKS" with Windsor Davies as the Ball robot Sargent!!!

Is it any wonder i've grown up warped and strange??

 

As i said in my earlier post,Battle of the planets for me was THE best.

 

I grew up watching The Wooden Tops and Andy Pandy

 

LOL, I loved just about every 80's cartoon mentioned so far. I think I must have watched a lot of TV as a kid because I remember some of these way better than my friends. Some of them are still wheeled out on the digital cartoon channels every now and again. I bought a DVD collection a couple of years ago with Willo' The Wisp, Dangermouse, Duckula, Chorlton and the Wheelies and Jamie and the Magic Torch. Class. Of course, the greatest was Transformers. I gaze longingly at the DVD box set every time I'm in HMV. Maybe one day...

As for books, I just dug out all my old kids books from my Mum's attic for my little 'un. The Hungary Caterpillar, Beatrix Potter, Mr. Men, Wind in the Willows...They don't make them like they used to.

 

Transformers passed me by. I'm just a tiny bit too old to have been caught up in it (I think i missed it by about two years).

My brother was absolutely devoted though - him and his mates had all of 'em.

One of his best friends had Optimus Prime and (true story), was going home one day, crossing the road outside my house, and got hit by a car (don't worry, the kid survived). he got tossed, like, 10 feet in the air and came down with a broken leg and broken arm. Ambulance is called, the kid gets wheeled into the back of it and all he can say is 'Where's my Optimus Prime?' (it got knocked out of his hand when he got hit).

Madness - the kid's lying there in what must be absolute agony, and all he can think about is his bloody Transformer!

 

Oh dear - I now have to admit having the complete Clangers collection on DVD....

Harry (the sad git)
