dragynally Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 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?
GirlattheHelm Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I wasn't a huge cartoon junky until I was in my teens. I really liked the old school Sesame Street, even though I am slightly afraid of puppets I still like it. Edit: OH! My mother reminded me; I was OBSESSED with She-Ra, Princess of Power, and He-Man.
riss287 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Dough!!! Yay!!! What about Eudora's Castle and David the Gnome? And Muppet Babies... yay! Yes, those shows were so much better than most of the crap that's on TV now!
kdilks Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 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.
DEClarke85 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 As a Kid I Loved (not all are cartoons): Hey Dude! You Can't Do That On TV A Pup Named Scooby-Doo Are You Afraid of the Dark Salute Your Shorts Dexter's Lab Johnny Bravo Animaniacs Dark Wing Duck Tiny Toons The Adventures of Ali Mack Clarissa Explains it All Rugrats Doug Family Double Dare Legends of the Hidden Temple GUTS ...and more... Quick Note: I watched WAY too much TV as a kid. Sadly, I just realized this...
psycholinguist Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 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.
illinoisellie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 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.
Tinyboss Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 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.
dragynally Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Non- cartoons are more then cool. I used to love old school nick. And power rangers was cool too. the point was to distract us from apps. Worked didn't it?
stella Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Oh, man. Do you remember Are You Afraid of the Dark saturday nights on Nick? and don't forget Ren and Stimpy!
GirlattheHelm Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Oh, man. Do you remember Are You Afraid of the Dark saturday nights on Nick? and don't forget Ren and Stimpy! Are You Afraid of the Dark was awesome. And, even though I disliked Ren and Stimpy, I still sing "HappyHappyJoyJoy" in the shower...
