Superted was shit, but not even in retrospect.

When I was a child bananaman scared me. I can remember being in infant school and hiding my banana because i was scared that if i ate it i might turn into bananaman and for some reason that thought terrified me.

Also, the Rev recently bought the Thundercats DVD box set. It makes no sense whatsoever. But is great for watching with ket.

Top Cat (showing my age here)

Not really, it's been on pretty much every year since it was first aired.

I believe it is now called Top Cat again in the UK as opposed to Boss Cat (because of the now defunct cat food called 'top cat' in the UK).

If you were really old you would have called it 'Boss Cat'.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

During the 80s.yup terrible. Yogi Bear...Flintstones...Top Cat....were any of them ever funny? No...they were fucking not.

Yup during the 80s those 60's cartoons were . . . er . . .what?

[selamlar]

fuck yeah, i had the dude at the bottom in the middle

I think I had a baddy off that. He was a kind of gold mummy/snake jobby.

Was The Moomins a cartoon or a model animation?

It was a big steaming pile either way.

That was Mum-Ra of Thundercats fame.

Does anyone remember Bravestar? A cartoon western in space.

And the Muppet Babies - shite even at the time.

Wasn't v1.0 of The Moomins a sort of Fuzzy Felt affair?

Beavis & Butthead
Ren & Stimpy

No and no.

The Racoons was shite though.

 

[Dillinger4]

No.



No.



No and no.

The Racoons was shite though.

Actually, I am revoking my criticism of Space Ghost. It was quite good.

 

[Madusa]

hanna barberra was just fucking cheapjack man. Static backgrounds and shit

Dont be a nob. Hanna Barberra cartoons rocked it!

 

[Pieface]

the smurfs

I fucking HATED the Smurfs with incandescent rage.

I fucking HATE the little blue cunts

 

[DotCommunist]

Dont be a nob. Hanna Barberra cartoons rocked it!

they were cheap and all american- like american choclate they lacked any reedeeming features

 

[strung out]

The Racoons was shite though.

cyril sneer was probably one of great machiavellian cartoon villains of all time

 

[strung out]

 

[Augie March]

I don't even remember him being all that villianous tbh.

 

[strung out]

of course he was a villain, he was a ruthless businessman determined to chop down all of evergreen forest! though admittedly towards then end he softened up a bit

 

[Fledgling]

Avenger Penguins.

 

[Silva]

I agree that most american animation from the mid 70's to the late 80's was complete rubbish, aimed just to sell merch... after that there were a few very good ones - Animaniacs, and, of course, The Simpsons come to mind.

Transformers, for instance, is terrible. The cartoon, the toys were

 

[rollinder]

there was A Highlander cartoon that I remember fondly. I don't want to look it up now lest it destroys my fond memories by being crap, like when I torrented Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Good Lord, I'd completely forgotten that! I don't advise looking it up: its absolutely dire, makes X-Men look like Dangermouse. "Let's make a children's cartoon series about immortals who go round decapitating each other." Someone really didn't think this one through.

Still, it got me interested in the fun Christopher Lambert music video ... erm movie, and the superior TV series, so not all bad.

I used to watch that when I could - instead of c hopping peop0les heads off they just absorbed information without killing them.

Speaking of film based cartoons that hadn't been thought through - remember the Toxic Crusader (Toxic avenger/Teoma reinvented as eco friendly kids cartoon) probably crap but haven't seen it since and don't remember much about tbh. & the one based on Attack Of The Killer tomatoes? didn't seem crap at the time & had a sence of humour re being a kids version iirc one episode had a vampire about to bite someone only to be told they couldn't do that in a kids cartoon, so they started kissing people instead.

 

[rollinder]

The Racoons was shite though.

used to waiver between hating/liking it back when it was part of Going Live - Cyrell Sneer was cool though (used to wonder if he was based on a real person)

Kisseyfur was the really shit one though.

I used to watch that when I could - instead of c hopping peop0les heads off they just absorbed information without killing them.

Thus stripping out the central concept of Highlander -- immortals in an endless duel to the death, and how it affects them.

Think the cartoon killed one immortal (off screen, of course) in its entire run. At the time I wondered, "But *how*? They're immortal, aren't they?" Then I watched the film. "Ah, now *that* would get the job done!"

 

[Idris2002]

I know it was live-action rather than animation, but I'm going to ask my standard 'kid's TV shows of yesteryear' question; Am I really the only one out there who remembers Freewheelers?

 

[kained&able]

MASK. I used to love it watched a random couple of episodes a few years back and oh my good its bad.
