Nice second post by the way.

A good programmer is someone who looks both ways on a one-way street
i remember growing up watching shows like Gem, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman, etc. What happened to the all the good cartoons?! (although I'm glad that i haven't been subjected to the care bears or teddy ruxpin (sp?) in years!) There's so much shit on the tv these days it's hard to find the good stuff anymore.
btw, observer, i like your sig!

I can't believe you found that!!
Looking at that webpage and listening to that cheesy song brings back so many memories...The best part of the show was that it was so economized. The animators were always recycling the same scenes (even worse than Flintstones). Did you ever notice that all the villains wore the same robe, and that the 'dragging the villain up the mountain scene' at the end of each episode was always the same no matter which villain was defeated (Whether it was Mask, Wilhelmina, or Daedalus)? Or that Hercules descending from Olympus was simply a single plate flipped back and forth?
The storylines were recycled too (and anticipated the format of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers). Trouble would turn up in the form of some sort of monster. Hercules would have to do battle, but he'd neglect to put on his ring until the critical moment...
Okay I'll go ramble on my own now.
Answer to inane trivia question: Dido

Just your generic meaningless signature. Mix with 2 quarts water and stir till evenly coated.
(I used to hate the old teddy ruxbin commercials. and anyone remember watching Rescue Rangers? i could be alone on that one.)
However, these cartoons pale compared to the animation that I've become obsessed with lately... Manga videos... I can't seem to get enough of them... my paycheck disappears on these videos every single month... heheheh - guess I'm still a kid.

YES!.. i do, i dont ever remember a TV show but i used to LOVe the movie!.... does anyone know where i can get a copy of that? ive looked on amazon and a couple other places to no avail....
Gumi Bears, GI-JOE, GI-JOE the movie was even better, Ducktales, transformers all kicked ass too
i used to also watch rescue rangers, ducktails, and beetlejuice. (and many more of course)

And I remember Vehicle Voltron but prefered Lion Voltron. What about the Hall of Fame or something where all the marvel superheroes were all in the same show? (Green Lantern was my favourite after Wonder Woman). And its not a cartoon, but I loved Fraggle Rock! And also Voltes V.I also remember a myriad of other cartoons like the carebears, gummibears, that guy who turns into a tiny superhero and had a sidekick mutt who had his head in a doghouse coz he was so ugly, rainbow brite, punky brewster etc, etc which I don't know why I bothered mentioning except for the gummibears which was cool too
And both Sonic The Hedgehog series, but those sux0red. Real bad-like.
My favorites were Ghostbusters (but not fucking Slimer And The Real Ghostbusters, that series was lame!), and Transformers. I loved that transforming noise! That was great. If anybody could find a sound clip of that, I would be in debt to them for...Well, about a day, then I'd forget about it. But that would still kick ass.

I watch SS a lot babysitting, and I highly agree...after all, what's up with this new opening song??? I mean, I'm all for cultural diversity and all, but an urban/hip-hop version of the sesame street song? I miss the kids running through the field!!

Heh. I forgot about that show. I used to watch it too. I watched tons of television as a kid. TV practically raised me between the ages of 6 to 12. Sadly, it wasn't a very good parent... It didn't go to my high school graduation, it wasn't there to cheer me on during my wrestling matches, it didn't help me through my science projects and math homework... So now I'm estranged from TV (my shrink says I'm supposed to stop repressing my 
towards TV, but heck, I like keeping it bottled up. I think my angst helps me to be a productive person).
Anyhow, back to the subject of Astroboy: did you ever do the little quiz at the end of show and "compare your answers with your friends"? I tried doing that once, and then all my 'friends' ridiculed me and the schoolyard bully beat me up. He said something about me being a 'stupid dweeb'. 
I dunno.
Ah... Those were the days, weren't they? I want my childhood back.
different experiences and memories, but I do agree:
Ah... Those were the days, weren't they? I want my childhood back.
Children can be so cruel tho.
ps, what helped me with school work was my mom collecting all my older bro's quizzes/tests and running me thru them. Its amazing how little they used to change from year to year

You can't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
I was at a friends and he watches it (yes he is an adult, as am I, by law anyway) and a couple of the robots traveled into the Ark (the orginal Autobot escape ship) and there were original transformers lying around still in stasis or something. Anyway, I thought it was kind neat.
Sorry, I was bored...
btw .. i havent heard the SS theme song, but if its urban hip hop then cookie monster is a pimp and oscar is just another playah-hatah..

lame - does anybody remember Pinky and Brain? Jesus kiddie..They have not been gone for too long. You are talking to people that remember Voltron, Thundar, and He-Man.
exactly, we remember Optimus Prime. There's no way we don't remember pinky and the brain.

Do you remember The Golden Condor? And this other program where a boy shone his torch on his bedroom floor and it made a wormhole into an alternative dimension?
I think the cartoon I hated the most most Jossie + the Pussycats = allmost as bad as ScoobyDoo.
That thing where a girl had to collect teaspoons in a trippy as majic world and was being chased by a lady called T-bag or something like that???????
alf..that show about the family who had a robot as a daughter... punky brewster (ok so those aren't cartoons, but they're old)..
thundercats, he-man, she-ra, snorks, smurfs, gummi bears, the bloodhound gang (not the band), 3-2-1 contact...
does anyone remember getting up at quarter to six in the morning and watching the test pattern for fifteen minutes to make sure you didn't miss the begnning of saturday morning cartoons?

It's one of the wierdest shows ever: these domes (looks like the metrodome) go up, and everybody within a 5 mile radius (not sure exactly how far) turns into a zombie. These evil bosses put the zones up to enslave people, and there was this fighting force that had suits that made them not become zombies. They had to go in and destroy these domes. Friggin' awesome show on every day at 3:00 (right after school).
Also, Bionic Six rulez!
I don't even know if this is the right name but does anyone else remember Lone Star. It was some sort of futuristic western with a cyborg cowboy and a horse that could walk and talk and had a huge musket. Whenever bad guys came along the town they stayed in transformed into some huge techno battle station. Not playing techno, obviously, but you know what I mean.
If you're a brit, do you remember Superted and Bananaman? I've watched Bananaman recently and it doesn't suck. At all. I still laughed. It rocked.
BTW I hated Alf, somebody had a doll of Alf and I tried to kill it. I think I succeeded.

The American ones were just pure entertainment, whereas the British ones were just pure surrealism. I can remember a lot of the British ones by name and roughly what they were about, but nothing in great detail. Why's that, because they just didn't make sense, and they still don't now.
Want an example - Button Moon. What other kids program would have a story about a moon monster in a flying wok?
Have a gander at < www.80snostalgia.com/classictv/ > or < www.sausagenet.co.uk > Both brit based sites.
I'm shocked to find that the subject of the Mysterious Cities of Gold hasn't been mentioned yet. That rocked!
Can anyone remember when all this was fields? Nostalgia aint like what it used to be.

I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live, but I got a lot of toys
and there was the New Kids on the Block cartoon. Anyone remember that?
Now, what was that cartoon with Mr T. ?
I know this is a question that gets asked a lot but was there ever a cartoon character that you fancied? Personally, I only ever watched Inspector Gadget because of his illegitimate daughter. She had looks AND brains.
And in Thundercats, what did Mumra do to change from the weedy mummy into the big muscley green mumra with red eyes? I had the action figure for him and you could light up his eyes. It rocked bells. He ripped Liono's arm off once.
cheers

According to the Fraggles, the Doozers just built things because that's what Doozers do. The Fraggles ate them because they were a good food source, and so the Doozers just kept on building.
