    I remember waking up way too early one Saturday morning turned on the tv and I dunno wtf I put on but I got a serious shock :pac:. Can't remember exactly what it was but got a fright anyway haha. Me da was getting up for work around the same time and made me go back upstairs!


    Saturday/Sunday morning tv used to be class alongside a big bowl of sugar and a bit of cereal thrown in for good measure haha.

    Remember watching TFI as a teenager and Chris Evans regularly showing how kids cartoons hid inappropriate things. Funniest one was when daphne, on scooby doo, for no reason should gave her ass a wiggle when someone else was chatting. How did they get away with things like this:

    My favourites were Thundercats, dungeons and dragons, Bertha, button moon, the series on Bosco where Gregory Grainneog ate too much at his rabbit friends gaff and he got stuck in the exit hole, and Charlie Brown. Sadly I was too old to have got into the rugrats.

    My dad used to read this book when we were kids. Such a happy childhood memory.

    Eastern block cartoons a staple of RTE during the 80's. Probably paid £5 for each episode. Strangely engaging but clueless to what was going on.
    I'm on holidays in a greenlist country. The only thread on the site I'm viewing at the moment. Fun no misery.
    Tom and Jerry before PC, brilliant.

    Oh dogtanian and the three musketeers!. Think I remember the theme tune being mad too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,868 ✭✭✭Hangdogroad


    The original Popeye cartoons from the 50s and 60s were great. The various reboots from the late 70s and 80s toned down the violence and werent as much fun. The complete nadir came with Popeye and Son circa 86. Awful, awful stuff. Popeye was turned into a new man sap and he had this complete gobshyte of a teenage son who most of the focus was on

    Weird early 80s Irish Sci Fi cartoon 'CP and Qwikstitch'

    It was also shown on BBC1, it was unusual to see the RTE credits on a BBC Channel




  • Registered Users Posts: 13,079 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    There's this thing dunno whether it was segments or an actual show that I'm sure was on TCC called telly cat. Dunno if that's the correct spelling but no one else apart from me ma remembers it haha!!

    I have this memory of cat sitting outside and this weird bird thing in used to talk to that was down a hole!

    I've looked online many times can't find a thing.

    There's was link anchorman as well look that up on YouTube and I'm sure it will trigger all kinds of memories haha.

    I was trying for years to remember what that was till fairly recently. I've a funny feeling RTE showed it in Irish as well.

    I was going to mention this yesterday and thought nobody would remember.

    It had the most depressing theme tune. It was originally French. Called telechat. But it was called telly cat/telecat in English.

    A few clips on YouTube. I think it used to be on during the DJ katt show too.

    I used to love:

    Dr. Snuggles
    Super Ted
    M.A.S.K
    Mysterious Cities of Gold
    Dogtanion
    Babar
    Inspector Gadget
    Ghost Busters
    James Bond Junior
    Brave Star
    Bobby's World
    Pinky and The Brain
    Stunt Dawgs
    Rescue Rangers

    But for me M.A.S.K, Cities of Gold and Inspector Gadget really make me feel nostalgic. I love IG, even at the time, I thought some of the art and drawing was just so intriguing.






    I'm trying to remember a cartoon that may have been set in the early 1900's with a boy and girl, they may have been homeless and they had a pet dog "fallsnap" or something. Anyone know?

    Does anyone remember Wait til Your Father gets Home? Watched it in the 70s. There was a guy in it who never stopped talking about vigilantes and the Russians. At one stage I thought I'd imagined the whole program!!

    Arabian Knights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA6zp9L44GA

    Battle of the Planets (mentioned a couple of times).

    There was another very similar cartoon called the Barkleys which had anthropomorphic dogs as the characters. Might have been a spin off. The father was right wing and always giving out about hippys etc.
