Old School TV Distractions

I bought Darkwing Duck on DVD! One of my fave childhood shows. I have every intention of watching it all to distract my mind from my waiting app. This got me thinking I wonder if any one else remembers the simpler times of Saturday morning cartoons and recess. I remember Tiny Toon Adventures, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Tale Spin,Pepper Ann, Doug, Animaniacs and Freakazoid....

What about you? What were your cartoon faves?

Correction: Eureka's Castle.

I tried to make a list of all the cartoons I watched as a kid once. I came up with around 40, and have randomly been remembering ones I've forgotten about since then.

I wasn't into too much TV as a kid, but I loved the Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? cartoon show. Not the game-show, but the one on Fox with Acme detectives Zack and Ivy. I downloaded pretty much the whole series off of the Internet a few years ago and put it on some CD-Rs, which I still watch occasionally.

Was also a big fan of Gargoyles. Didn't revisit it until recently, but once I did I found it was just as compelling as I recalled. I shouldn't've been as surprised as I was to learn that the creator was a former English-teacher with a keen interest in mythology.

So I know this isn't a cartoon, but

Power Rangers!!

I watched the entire 1st and 2nd seasons, but I then got disinterested...

I loved the game shows on Nick. "Legends" was awesome!

I also liked the format of All That(kinda like SNL for kids). Even though the later seasons were terrible.

I've been using Netflix streaming to my XBox to watch old-school favorites like Knight Rider, The Incredible Hulk, and The A-Team. I didn't remember them being this cheesy! My favorite is when the Hulk is wrestling a bear, and you can see the green make-up rubbing off onto the bear.
