Cartoons from when you were a kid

tea-bag, doesnt ring a bell remember grot bags though.

Also liked stuff like centurions, transformers, m.a.s.k (actually theres a rather lonely looking mask dvd in my local petrol station, its been there for a few weeks I'm so close to giving it a home). My fav things I remember would be trap door, danger mouse, ,super ted,count duckula and im sure theres a ton of other stuff.

 

...anyone watch Star Fleet? Fantastic!

 

Anyone remember the snorks ? and original rugrats ?, I remember waking up for school to all them cheap knockoff cartoons on BBC2 at 7AM. and when cat dog first came out.

 

most of the cartoons we got were 4 years old when we got them. We got defenders of the earth in 88 but it had been in the US from 84.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles came to us after a lot of legal stuff as some idiot at the BBC wanted it's name changed to hero turtles because the word ninja encouraged violence according to the head of BBC kids entertainment.

 

My first thought was Thundercats. Then Ninja Turtles.

Both already mentioned - useless post.

I'm getting good at these posts these days

I actually saw Thundercats box set in HMV, probably why it was the first one to spring to mind. However, when I saw it I did go into "can I? please can I? pleeease?" mode :P

 

The moomins used to freak me out too, and Zelda in Terrahawks freaked me out too,

another program I loved as well as all the ones mentioned was Visionaries

 

How has it got this far wothout a mention of Jamie and his Magic Torch?? That was the stuff of legends. And what about Bananaman

It's funny watching some of these back now. YouTube has some brilliant Knightmare clips of kids not being able to tell left from right and that, and sending their helmeted friend plummeting into a CGI abyss.

Also, any nostalgia botherers there, check this out, practically any TV theme you can think of, all the great kids shows too

How a bout Viky the Viking. Never could tell wether it was a girl or a boy

 

Moomins were freaky, but great...not a cartoon, but "Round The Twist" used to freak me out also - they'd have some really odd stuff happen. In particular, there was this episode where a little boy grew loads of extra finger nails....which turned out to be mermaid (merman?) scales...eeeearrrgth!

Have you ever ever felt like this....

Also on the weirdness theme, do you remember "Eerie Indiana"?!?

 

Most of you are making me feel 1) very old, 2) very American, or 3) both.

 

I can make you feel young. I watched Scooby Doo in 1966 when the cartoons were brand new, and while it wasn't an animated cartoon, I watched Fireball XL5 in 1961 (and it was a UK production, though all the actors sound American). I found XL5 episodes on YouTube and the opening theme still is really cool. The coolest theme and cartoon *ever* are the original Jonny Quest cartoons (1964). Great jazz charts for both opening and closing credits.

Still feel old, Michael?

 

round the twist was weird

I remember the name eerie indiana but can't remember what it was about.

 

Yes, because I watched Scooby Doo and Jonny Quest as well... and YOU'RE old.

heeheehee

That's okay, though... being old is a good thing.

 

The things I have to put up with to build up your self esteem.

 

Some cartoons from where I were a lad

Jamie & his Magic torch
Jayce & the wheeled warriors

Mysterious cities of gold

He- Man & the masters of the universe

The Gummi BEars

And erm Thundercats..............which I loved so much.....I erm had a Tattoo done

I got into trouble a bit with the missues over that

 

As long as it wasn't snarf, my missues would be cool with it

 

I remember round the twist and Eerie indiana, I loved them both.
GBL if I remember correctly Eerie indiana was kinda like a kids version of the x-files with weird things happening every week being investigated by a normal teenager that moved there. Seem to remember him riding around on a bike.

As for thundercats I owned all the toys when I was young, but my mum gave them away at some point

 

Speaking of Thundercats, you guys seen this
