This is the best thread ever!! I remember fondly all the things mentioned-well,not that fondly.I don't think I would have made it through the 80's and early 90's without slayer and all those ninja kickass cartoons.........
(/me fades off into nostalgia trip..)

IRISHLILY24

all very true...I am going to be 25 very soon..thought there wasnt anyone else in my age range on here
Cant leave out cyndi lauper and madonna!
also, I never thought she-ra should have hooked up with he-man as they were twins!! She-ra was one of my all time fave's though...I wonder why they bring back all the other cartoons but they never brought that one back??;)

Puck

Anyone remember a program called "Round the Bend" or something like that?
I can only vaguely remember it but I think it was presented by some alligator puppet or something and had funny shows like "Wooly the Wonder Sheep" and "Thunderpants" (a parody of Thundercats).

I remember when Zig and Zag first appeared on "Dempsey's Den". I think I have The Nothing to do With Toast video at home, though it's VHS so time has ravaged its tape.
