The things kids have to watch today...

Panda

Think about it though i our days we grew up with the classic good V evil cartoons. With proper tough *******s like He-man. In a never ending battle against Skeletor, The Transformers(Robots in disguise), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,She-ra(yes her too),Mighty mouse,Danger mouse,Ulysses, and so many more to boot.

But look at what kids growing up today are regarding as heros and idols,from ****ing Ash from pokemen all the way to the telly fatb@st@rds.

I shudder to think of what deranged psychos will emerge from these twisted images of heroism, bravery, and good.

Oh He-Man why hath thou forsaken us?!?

Actually I was at home "sick" today, and I was watching this cracker computer animated cartoon, the stroy was relativaly intresting, the animation was cracker. Cant remember the name of it.... Was on Den 2 around 5.30

X-Steel or something like that I think it was.

I see a CG animation show of starship troppers on tv these days it ****in brilliant.But its on in the mornings at some time.

---

rumpelstiltskin

WOW!!
finally, man that starship troopers is ****ing great!
somehow its always on when i wake up early after being out drinking.
It is very good though.
Jesus, that reminds me, i saw this other computer generated cartoon...
Space something, oh no.. Planet Wars...
i mean, there was SERIOUS sexual inuendos..
i'm not talking about stupid disney "the cloud in the background looks like a dick upside down" inuendos.
I watched it once, and this little horrible toad alien was talking to this bit long foxy humanoid alien, and he was talking about taking her on his spaceship, and his exact words were "Heeey, fancy a ride?? he he he... know what i mean baby?" and then he start making shagging movements with his hips, and then the foxy alien says "no way..." or something...
I suppose you'd have to see it, but jaysus, i'm not making it up...

Think I might know what you're talking about - the late-night yoke that used to be on C4 before Bits and suchlike? Shockin' stuff did be contained in those cartoons/CG animations!

I loved 'My Little Ponnies', but one thing always worried me. You know the way other cartoons would have good triumphing over evil. Yea ? Well this was not the case for 'My Little Ponnies', I mean they always got beaten up by the evil ponnies...always. Or maybe by some freak accident, they'd win an episode.

Like that lovely house on the green mountain was never left alone, never I tell you.
I'm sure it has mentally scared me, leaving me with a bleak outlook on life
That said though, I always watched it on TCC years ago. Classic

He-Man
She-Ra
Transformers
Thundercats
Robotech
Care Bears
M.A.S.K.
Gi.Joe
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Go-Bots
X-men
Spiderman/iceman/firegirl
Spiderman (one with CG)
(most marvel cartoons)
Batman (the newer one)

(there was another where the humans had to pilot the robots [they had personalties too] but i cant remember the name, i thnk it was cybots or sumthin like that)

I still have She-Ra bedcovers and I use 'em all the time. man, she was a good-doing superbeeotch. was she He-Man's sister? Cos it seems like there was a bit of an incestuous taste to that thing....

anyone remember Bravestar?? "Strength of a bear..speed of a puma.." etc. it used to make me feel weird, as did Transformers. (shudder) but I watched them anyway.

anyone remember the theme tune to My Little Pony? people on my road adapted it to be ..."My Little Pony, skinny and boney..." just to upset me, as i was a giant fan. now i feel puzzled as to why it upset me...I had Carebears wallpaper, too, for a period. Man, i regretted that one. Remember Around the World in 80 Days - some lion going around in a hot air balloon? And let's not forget Dog Tanyon.

Just think about the weirdos that our cartoons produced in this generation??

Anyone ever see Queerduck? it's about a gay duck and his camp friends. truly hilarious. (not for kids by the way.)

Do your limbs ever get tingly, eh? eh?

GreenHell

Two brill programmes/cartoons from way back when were:
Count Ducula (flying through the night looking for a bite) god that cartoon was 133t nothing can match the raw carnigate dished out by NANNY!!!!!!

Anyone remember Around the Bend with the big mother of a crocidile. Was talking to bunch of m8's about it 2day only 1 other could remember it *hint* for anyone who can't think of it .... remember the sheep,the underpants and FatMan.

God TV was great.

Celt

Dont forget the battletech cartoon, and remember the one with ZZ and his bots, whats the name?Actually TCC was much better than nicklodeon.

heheheheee
Count Ducula was great! The finest of saturday morn cartoons.

I remember Bravestar aswell, he was another proper Hardman, nevermind those stupid poke balls as weapons, this guy carried GUNS!!!

We're not forgetting Iron Man are we? I mean this guy blatently flew into outer space kicked the living shít out of some asteroids that were threatening life as we know it, saves the day, and returns home as the hero.

TG4 are showing Voltron : the 3rd dimension during the week, quite funny to see it dubbed into irish.

"na fianna bvholtrón!"

I just got a sudden flashback to Fraggle Rock {!}

Variations of the theme tune spring to mind...
"down at Fraggle rock, grab a fraggle by the c0ck, swing him in the air..." etcetera

GreenHell

Does anyone remember Starcom?

Now that was cool. Ring Raiders too, although that was early 90's

There was the ghostbusters, not the extreme ones, but the real ones, and Action Force (i have the movie on video at home )

Ah really was a golden time. We were privilaged i guess.

Finally......
80's gallery of cartoons from the 80's. actually if you put "cartoons" and "80's" in the search engine on yahoo you get a great deal of info

I need to think of a good signature.......

I had the big white Starcom Battle ship, plus, um the smaller fighter one and an enemy fighter aswell and another enemy fighter that had forward facing wings and a little apc thing that folded into my big white battleship and magnets all over the place classic

ah those where the days.......and not only did you have them cartoons but you have Airwolf, the A-team, knight rider, and other such stuff like that. now all you have at mid day are crapy things, but night time tv is much better now than back then, we have great things like BUFFY, star gate SG-1, Dark angle, Angle, Farscape, er any more?

but i do remember around the bend, very funny with all the mock puppets (it was the kids spiting image) and brave star as well, anyone remember a cartoon with the phatom in it, and there where loads of other guys too, they all had kick ass ships, one of which had a long blade on the frunt that would cut through ships. cant remember what it was called (or much about it) but i had the above ship.

Bring back He-Man

Ry

If theres anyone who watched the most cartoons on weekend mornings it's me.
I watched everything regardless of aimed gender or whatever because it was all interesting because there was always goodies against baddies. Jag named a few there MASK He-Man being two of the more classics.
I have been MAD to see them all back to WH0000p nowadays **** off the air.
The best 3 in my opinion were Jayce and the wheeled warriors every morning on DJ-Kat
then Ulysses the first Science fiction cartoon from a group of french/japanese people and then another cartoon brought out a year after by the same group called the Mysterious Cities of Gold which is imho a true classic.
But lets not forget Cops the one with all the different skilled cops one with a mechanical arm that could shoot out and the guy with a robotic dog Bowser and Blitz i believe they were known as and many more.

Then there was also Denver the last Dinosaur,Gummy Bears,The Raccoons,The Chipmunks,Beverly Hills Teens,Jem,Pole Position,Go-Bots,BraveStarr,Smurfs,Captain Planet,Dino Riders and a few more.

They were all good fun but i think the top three and COPS gave the 80's weekend cartoon child a better story because they were just more thought out. And the ideas with MASK were revolutionary with each character having a different mask that could do kewl stuff like lift things or repair or whatever.

If anyone wants a theme tune from a cartoon email me cuz i have LOADS of them and they REALLY bring back good memories they are worth asking for if you are in the mood for reminising. Gimme a shout L8erZ

Is it just me or is that not the most suspect sounding name for a cartoon ever???

Anyway...
Fox Kids on Sky Digital - it's showing Ulyses 31 and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors - class!

Battle of the Planets is shown on Bravo every day. There was another in that series called Eagle Warriors too - that's also on one of the channels - either Bravo or Fox Kids.

Also - I was rummaging around the house last week and I found all my old M.A.S.K. toys!!! Jesus - I had loads I collected Venom and the brother got the MASK ones.
Also - we used to have loads of the Starcom stuff too!
