What are your best childhood memoies sitting in front of the TV?

I'm going to go for either Noddy or Transformers (Obviously they were from different times in my life, I swear I'm not still watching them!)

sanncoo · 01-10-2004 9:45am

Tom & Jerry
Top Cat
Pepe Le Pew (Spelling??)
Scooby Doo

The Muppet Show (not a cartoon but loved it)

Jim · 01-10-2004 9:47am

Super Ted as a child,
Then Transformers,
Then Earthworm Jim a little later on.

jared almasy · 01-10-2004 10:11am

transformers, tom & jerry, earthworm jim, he-man and...oh my goddam god... thundercats. i have the theme song playing right now *hums

sprinkles · 01-10-2004 10:44am

Super Ted! Loving it.

I had a compelation vhs when I was but a small child with loads of different cartoons on it, super ted, postman pat, noddy, fireman sam. Definately the most watched tape I ever had. I'm going home tonight to find it.

Fudger · 01-10-2004 10:46am

Topcat & Super Ted

loz_the_boz · 01-10-2004 10:49am

Anyone remember battle of the planets i think it was called - they all had weird bird looking helpmets on - cartoon.

On another note - DANGERMOUSE !!!

monkeyfudge · 01-10-2004 10:56am

Mysterious Cities of Gold was my favourite without a doubt.

Followed by Ulysses 31.

Then Jayce and the Weeled Warriors and Transformers.

Transformers would have been my toy of choice, as opposed to He-man, M*A*S*K and Voltron which were also popular among kids at the time.

sprinkles · 01-10-2004 11:07am

Mysterious Cities of Gold

Ah the memories.......

sanncoo · 01-10-2004 11:22am

Count Duckula

Gummi Bears (girlie I know

)

Superted

The Smurfs

Inspector Gadget

Oh to be that innocent again......

Retr0gamer · 01-10-2004 1:49pm

Can only remember as far back as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles but my mother told that I was obsessed with Ulysses 31 when I was younger.

The others I remember are:

Freakazoid
Calamity Jane
Earthworm Jim (loved the way his response to every problem would be along the lines of 'lets blow it up!')
Batman animated series
Animaniacs
Thundercats

MrGump · 01-10-2004 5:07pm

all i can remember is X-men, it was fantastic. Phoenix saga! who didnt love it!

Jim · 01-10-2004 5:14pm

It really makes me sad to look at the quality of some of todays cartoons.
Most of them seem to be obsessed with that Japanese Pokemon esque style of animation and using the latest buzzwords. "Oh my god, that soooo zaney Brad!"

Makaveli · 02-10-2004 1:06am

Transformers.

Pigman II · 02-10-2004 9:30am

Here's some of my fav's that haven't been mentioned yet.

Bananaman
Ewoks/Droids
Galaxy High School
Ghostbusters (Filmation version)
Hulk Hogan's Rock 'N' Wrestling
Pac-Man
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
The Incredible Hulk
The Real Ghostbusters (as opposed to the 'fake' ghostbusters who actually coined the name around 10 years prior to the 1984 movie!)
C.O.P.S.
Bravestarrr

and of course the aforementioned....
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
M.A.S.K.
The Transformers
ThunderCats
Ulysses 31

jared almasy · 02-10-2004 10:23am

I actually preferred the other Ghostbusters cartoon.

Ha yes... That's right. I'd forgotten about that bit.

Sarky · 02-10-2004 11:47am

The old Warner Brothers classics can't be beat. Daffy, Bugs, Elmer, Tweety and Sylvester were and still are some of the funniest stuff you can see.

That said, I loved Earthworm Jim and want to have its babies. I was devastated when it stopped showing. Anyone know if it's available on DVD or somesuch?

Also, Animaniacs, just for sheer oddness. Well, that and astounding violence. Poor Goodfeathers...

angeldelight · 02-10-2004 3:20pm

Raggy Dolls!! They were cool. The song at the start was the best bit tho

el rabitos · 08-10-2004 10:30pm

DOGTANION!

All for one and one for all, Muskahounds are always ready!

irishgeo · 08-10-2004 11:55pm

loved earthworm jim
pinky and the brain
the smurfs

Ba_barbaraAnne · 09-10-2004 3:21pm

The Clangers. Still watch them occasionally and have a toy Small Clanger and a poster in my room! Also love Tom and Jerry.

byte · 09-10-2004 3:35pm

Hmm

Mysterious Cities of Gold
Dogtanian and the 3 Muskahounds
He-Man
Thundercats

And the old favourites, Tom & Jerry, Topcat, Sylvester, Wile E Coyote, Daffy, etc...

climaxer · 11-10-2004 9:14am

I loved Inspector Gadget!

Also Smurfs, Get Along Gang, He-Man, My Little Pony, Ulysses, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Tom & Jerry, Superted, Jamie & the Magic Torch, Sylvanian Families.......

As for the cartoons nowadays - Sponge Bob Square Pants isn't too bad or Fairly Odd Parents and Mr. Bean's cartoon is so stupid that you just have to watch it!

woosaysdan · 13-10-2004 2:11pm

gotta be postman pat and thomas the tank engine

*in my best ringo starr voice
"youve been an naughty engine" the fat controler said to thomas

Lemming · 13-10-2004 2:19pm

Hmmmm ... let me think about this:

Transformers, followed by transformers, and eh ... transformers again

also:

Robotech
GI-Joe
Thundersub
Dogtanian & the Three Muskahounds
The mysterious cities of gold
Ulysses 31

Caked Karen · 11-11-2004 4:29pm

Dogtanian was definetly the best.remember it used to be on bout 7.30 in the morning or 8 but i was always up and ready for it with my bowl of cereal!

I'd like to second that!

Blisterman · 11-11-2004 6:33pm

Noone else watched the simpsons?

johntf008 · 11-11-2004 7:57pm

Well, The Simpsons wouldn't be retro, really, would they?

Assuming the criteria are that it's a kid's cartoon from the past, I'd say Dungeons And Dragons or Noddy.

If it includes modern ones for adults, add Futurama to the list. I will never laugh as much at anything as I laughed at Robopuppy on that show!

Capt'n Midnight · 11-11-2004 11:38pm

RANT Boomerang ain't FTA anymore /RANT

If any one remembers June and Terry a very unfunny comedy you would think that nothing could make up for it. But when you realise that Terry was also Penfold, all is forgiven. DM the greatest..

There are the Wacky Racers and of course all the old 1950's Tom and Jerry's and the Looney Toons when Sylvester meets up with a baby kangeroo / elephant that he thinks is a mouse.

BolBill · 12-11-2004 2:48pm

Ulysses 31 (just bought the box set from Play.com!)
and
Bravestar. I loved Thirty-Thirty and his beloved Sarah-Jane ("It's time for some stompin'!").

Anybody remember a cartoon, where they all had holograms of animals that they could turn into?

Also, if you think about the ideas behind these cartoons, does anyone else wonder what the hell the creators were smoking?

Yeah you just don't get the quality in cartoon ideas anymore. Where are the talking horses, jousting robots or flying fish? (last 2 are ulysses)

Maybe we should start a thread here to come up with the ultimate cartoon.

Damn! Beat me too it by 2 posts.

Yeah, the Super Mario Bros. cartoon and Sonic The Hedgehog with the chicken robot and the green tank guy were both some of my favourite. You say there on digital?! I'm getting digital!

Earthworm Jim was brilliant too.

Zapho · 07-12-2004 12:24pm

Jayce and the wheeled warriors, and later on Pinky and the Brain. That show just rocked!

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Ummm, I think so Brain, but if Jimmy cracks corn and nobody cares, why does he keep doing it?
