What were you're favorite morning cartoons as a kid?
 

...And, what do you think of the stuff on the air now??


Anyone remember "Thundarr the barbarian" on TV? ;) Its FINALLY out on DVD now...
Thundarr's sayings are funny as hell "LORDS OF LIGHT!" and "DEMON DOGS!" -- He acts like a womanizer though.. calls females "WOMEN!, you will follow US!" hahah just so silly.. Here is the intro:
(That planet is 'planet X' conspiracy people will say!) hehehe.. Thundarr cam before He Man, but the likeness is uncanny, eh?





But the cartoon was back in 1980....

I watched that, the "REAL" Ghostbusters cartoon and the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon too... You don't see that kind of cell painting cartooning that much these days.. Those guys were pioneers..

Then in 1982-1988 GI Joe and Transformers! (Those rocked)

BTW, The Voice of Cobra Commander died at the age of 47 (I think---in his 40s though.. that's way too young).. Damn Zartan killed him I think... :)
He was a GREAT voice actor..same for Destro's voice guy..

Before all that, the US version of Gatchaman was on here, called "Battle of the Planets", and I dug that show BIG TIME... (the American version is freaking edited up, and they inserted crappy seven-zark-seven into the show to fill time.. you can clearly see the poor artistry there in those inserts...

Jason was my fave.. :) Race car... bad ass... Tiny just needed to have a food bowl next to him at all times.. Keyop.. hmm.. dunno if he was mildly mental, or just had a speech impediment. hehehe...
What I see today is... blah.... I do see there's a new GI Joe and Transformers coming out (again)... (I did like Beastwars and Beastmachines a few years ago) poor waspinator....

Man I used to watch a crapload of cartoons back in the day. I vaguely remember something called Thundarr. To name a few that I do recall.

Dungeons and Dragons
Spiderman and his amazing friends (Iceman and Firestar iirc)
He-Man
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Jayce and the Wheel Warriors
Transformers
Ulysseus
Nightmare
Jamie and the Magic Torch (Don't ask)
The little Prince - although I remember the theme songs better than I do the cartoons.

That's all I can recall for now.

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

On yeah! I remember Super Friends and Amazing Spiderman -- Iceman was my fave...
I HATED when they added the 'wonder twins' 'Wonder twins activate... in the form of... a big dong!" :D silly stuff

Shmoo was funny to watch
Hong kong phooy
That cartoon with the 60's sand buggy that talked... lol what was That called???
Captian cavvvvvveeeee mmmaaaaaan!

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

OMG I remember Captain Caveman. Many cartoons frustrated me, yet I watched them alot. For some reason I cannot recall, Caveman was one of them. Another was that Roger Ranget. I loved to hate it. I think the sand buggy one was Speed Buggy.

Remember Underdog? :) "There is no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here" :D

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

God yes, remember Mighty Mouse? lol

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

Also, do you remember The Racoons? I loved that one. I wanted to live where the Racoons lived. And Bravestar, ("strength of the bear speed of the puma!"). Also with reluctance, I recall MASK. I hated it, yet forced myself to watch it cuz nothing else was on. Another one was "Defenders of the EARTH!". My god, I don't even recall what it was about but I never forget the theme song. I think it was kinda like Thundercats meets Justice League. Oh and what about the annoying "Denver the last Dinosaur" Remember, he's our friend and a whole lot more. I also recall watching Flintstones alot too. It's crazy how it all comes back to you. I coulda been learning decrypting or something more constriuctive.

I found the Racoons theme song, loved it. May bring it back if you have forgotten it. Not sure what the epic lyrics have to do with Racoons in retrospect.

Gawd, cartoons bring back memories good... and bad...

I remember most of those mentioned here - never saw the Raccoons though.

Some others that linger in the mists :

Huckleberry Hound

Rocky & Bullwinkle (Fractured Fairy Tales FTW !)

Linus the Lionhearted

King Leonardo

Milton the monster

Mighty Hercules (ROOLS !!! :heee:)

Batfink

Courageous Cat

Super Chicken

Top Cat

Calvin & the Colonel

Johnny Quest

George of the jungle

Had the boardgames for R&B and Johnny Quest. Think some of those shows would be real groaners today - but the memories live on :D

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

And speaking of cartoons, about 6 months ago I tried to track down the names of two series about super heroes from some *very* fragmented memories.

Took a while but success !!! Super 6 and The Impossibles.

Ahhh, bliss... :heee:

Re: What were you're favorite moring cartoons as a kid?
 

Oh god, Batfink. Another one I loved to hate. Top Cat I was thinking of earlier too. I liked that one - he was cool. Couldn't stomach George of the Jungle.
