richindub2

PiE

Jayce & the Wheel Warriors - I loved it so much :]

Gaz

Spiderman and his amzing friends was 80's ...about 83/84

The silver surfer in that ruled !!

Ulysses is great though, I have all 26 episodes and looking at it now , you can really see it was a bit ahead of its time and probably not really a "kids" cartoon ..some excellent animation and some genuine freaky stories that would scare the livin bejesus out of some kids ..not me though ..well 'ard grrrrr

Gaz

ooops sorry i left that out , i have generation one of Transformers !

Pole position is probably the rarest and hardest to find ... do you remember that ? Only 15 epsiodes made

Rabies

probably Transformers and Ulysses are my two favs from the 80's.

the new transformers has too much comedy....

Yes they made it home in the last episode , He finds the kingom of Haedes and is willing to sacrifice himself so the Gods let him go home ..i think thats how it ended , i was drunk when i watched it!

Personally i think the theme tunes to the 80's cartoons where almost as good if not better than the actual cartoons

Mistakill

Wheres SuperTed?

*shouting..Capppptainnnn Caaaaaavemannnnn..shouting*

There was a brilliant cartoon made in the 70's I think called "wait till your Father gets home..." just brilliant:)
mm

Saruman

most of this wsa discussed the other day about people who grew up in the 80s.. anyway www.80snostalgia.com for all your cartoon needs and you can download theme tunes etc too!

PiE

Where can I find Jayce & the WW on the 'net?

Vokes

transformers was the greatest, no contest, it spawned a motion picture ffs

Transformers, now that's a cartoon. Surprisingly enough . The best anyhoos

azezil

dungeons and dragons

Figment

well so did the care bears, 2 or 3 in fact so its hardly a sign of quality. Although i do remember enjoying the care bear movies

All time favourite is jaime and his magic torch, which i have just ordered off amazon this hour.

Spunj

Hong Kong Phooey
Batfink (My WINGS are like a SHIELD of STEEL!)
Joe Jitsu (Joe Jitsu calling Dick Tracy, come in Dick Tracy)
Mr. Magoo
G-Force

I could probably think of loads more if i drifted any further into nostalgia which I am not about to do right now

Bateman

Its got to be MASK. No doubt about it. The toys were top class, everybody wanted SnakeOil, and all the others. My first MASK toy was Condor, the green bike/helicopter, it was driven my Bard Turner, and I was chuffed because I was allowed bring it to Mass on Christmas Day. They were the good old days alright *tear*, anyway the toys were weak as **** and used to break easily. oh well, all in the past eh?
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was quite good but for me nothing touched the genius of MASK.

Pigman

I had SnakeOil (is that what it was called?) It was cool because it had these rubber tip missiles that really could hurt if fired at closed range! Ah my little brother was so naive in those days!

Bateman

Well it was a big fúck-off black lorry anyway, I think it was called SnakeOil. Or at least that was what was written on the side. I think.

krankykitty

JEM, truly outrageous, truly truly truly outrageous!!!

does anyone remember this?? Jerrica by day, Jem by night with the help of Synergy!!! And the magic Earrings!

Lister

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors aws the best.

Don't forget "Speed Racer" and Catch the Pigeon ( the Wacky Race's spin off).

BLITZ_Molloy

There were a whole load of ****e cartoons in the 80'sc as well though... I kind of preferred the stuff like Dangermouse to the serious stuff like Cities of Gold. I always hated Inspector Gadget with a Passion. Other studd like D&D was extremely average.

I think Pokémon isn't bad... its certainly better than some of the ****e like Dogtanion and Around the World which only had a 1 or 2 series and I could recite be heart I'd seem them so often. Pokemon actually has some quite adult humour from Brock(sp?) now and then.. I think Team Rocket are actually very entertaining - ever see the one where their selling hotdogs because they decide it makes more money than pokemon poaching? That was very amusing. I think Pokemons fine myself - it gets a bad rap because of the merchandising overkill (as if He Man and Thunderctas were'nt guildty of that in their day :-))

Gaz

Ah but Ulysses only had one series ! Do you think that was crap ?

Lemming

My favs were:

Transformers
Mask
Robotech
Ulysses31
Thundersub
Gi-Joe


I must say that Ulysses31 was well ahead of its time.

However .. THE most astounding cartoon of the 80s was (and still is) Robotech. It went through three generations, with FULL character developments. You actually felt for the characters when they got hurt/killed/etc.

Like the time one of the (then) major characters gets killed. You hear him screaming over the jet-fighter com-net as his plane disintegrates in a massive explosion, then you see one of the others (Max - the fighter ace) making the sign of the cross. Gripping stuff.

Oh, and Bateman - you're right. It's "SnakeOil" - a BIGGG black oil tanker truck. I have it myself somewhere at home

Ph3n0m

Just wondering does anyone know where we can episodes from such classics as

Transformers
He-man
and so on and so forth?


Ghostbusters from the 80's with that flucking freaky Sandman - that was a freaky villian

JustHalf

Mmh, I don't know.

I remember thinking Transformers was great, but looking back on it now it seems kind of dull. I'm still amazed at what ingenious marketing it was.

Spiderman and Friends was a great laugh, as was Thundercats (it had, in my opinion, the BEST theme tune ever). And DANGER MOUSE WAS FANTASTIC.

GoneShootin

and the spinoff from this guy

Elmo

Duckula was the best

any one remember Victor and Hugo Bundlers in Crime (1992) they stole Count Duckulas house at one stage.

Or is it Hugo and Victor?

Spiffing

Duckula sucked.

yep. didnt like it though.

loved Dogtanion and the muskahounds, and superted. omg what a show. texas pete was one of the best baddies ever!!

he-man was class. i remember getting up extra early to watch it on itv before school.

also duckula was class.

anyone mention teddy ruxpin, or the raggy dolls?? there dolls like you and me you know.

Venom

Ulysses31 - Fantastic show.The last episode was so freaky with all the lost souls floating around backwards.

Battle of the Planets - top class stuff even if they did rip it to shreads from the original version.

Danger Mouse - Just the best

I hated all those Hanna Babera shows as much as I did the dross from the states used to sell toys as the storys were just crap.

Jim

out of those choices id say thundercats, but where the hell is transformers??, they're robots in disguise for god sake. i was really really tempted to but the movie when it came out on dvd [i need help]:D

You sir lack a sense of humor, nanny is the funniest character ever!

There was something special about cartoons from the 80's, just watching cartoons from the 90's and early 00's their all nicey nice, but in the 80's I remember them being far more kick ass.

No, I don't, it's just really stupid compared to Transformers!

Cloud

I agree with Venom's choices. BotP info below. U31 at http://www.ulysses31.com and http://www.ulysses31.net

U31 is out on French DVD, not in English (yet).
