codeorama Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Since getting Direct Tv, I've been reliving my childhood with all the cartoon channels. This weekend I watched the Centurians, Fantastic Four, Johnny Quest and Thundarr the Barbarian. Man, those bring back a bunch of memories... What were your favorite cartoons?

gbear Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't remeber Marine Boy. I don't know if that's because I never watched it or what. I used to go over to my friends how to watch speed racer after school. I wasn't allowed to watch tv except on Sunday nights at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Speed Racer was my favorite when I was a kid. Star Blazers, Superfreinds, Justice League and AQUAboy. (Aquaboy was the kid who had the chewing gum that allowed him to breath underwater and he had that cool boomerang.) And, of course, the Laugh-Olympics.

Who could forget Marshall, Will and Holly on a routine expedition? And then there were all the Kroft Superstars. Sigmund the Seamonster, Dr. Shrinker, The Bugaloos, HR PuffnStuff, and my personal favorite, Electro-Woman and Dyno-Girl. I know there were some others, but I can't remember them all now.

Henry Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 That's it Code. I could have sworn it was Aquaboy when I was a kid. I remembered the gum and the boomerang, you'd think I'd remember the TITLE. Maybe they translated it differentlywhere I lived or something.

codeorama Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Henry, I couldn't remember his name for the longest time either, he was never as popular a speed racer, but I always watched none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Star Blazers rocked! We're off to outer space, we're leaving Mother Earth To save the human race. Our Star Blazers. Searching for a distant star, heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind, who knows what dangers we'll find? We must be strong and brave, our home we've got to save. If we don't, in just one year, Mother Earth will disappear Fighting with the Gamalons, we won't stop until we've won Then we'll return, and when we arrive The Earth will survive with our Star Blazers. Funny thing, I was recently at a video game /anime store, and found out that there is a DVD collection of all of the Star Blazers series available! It's $150, though.

TXSkinsfan Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Wasn't anyone exposed to "Thunderbirds" at an early age? I loved that they had names from real astronauts and the classic space ship #3 was my favorite. Full DVD set is $100 at Best Buy and worth every penny. Go Skins !

bubba9497 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I am Old School Toon Looney Tunes Donald Duck Scooby Doo Speed Racer Yogi Bear/ Hanna Barbara Tom & Jerry Popeye Harvey Cartoons Most of the best "new" tunes are on Cartoon Network Dexter's Lab, ED, EDD & EDDIE, Samuri Jack, Time Squad, Power Puff Girls My kids also like SpongeBob Square Pants, Fairy Odd Parents, & Jimmy Neutron Though not cartoons, I used to watch "Mr. Bill" a local early morning kids show. He not only showed old cartoons but hundreds of 3 Stooges, and Little Rascals shorts. Got my mind in the proper mood before going to school.

Canyonero! Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Seriously, how could I get through a work day without Code's great threads. Code, I just got DirecTV about 2 weeks ago, and living without the Cartoon Network for the last 2 years has really made things rough on me (tough life, I know). The entire Adult Swim block is up there right now as my favorite cartoons. But of all time? This is really one of those discussions that's best left to a night of drinking because it always turns into an argument with me. It's really too tough to choose. I've actually broken it down by year before, but instead of doing that again, I'll just come up with a decent list: Undergrads Duck Tales Darkwing Duck TMNT Transformers (not Armada!) He-Man Thundercats Home Movies Dexter's Aqua Teen Hunger Force Ren & Stimpy (before Bob Camp left) Eek! the Cat But in the end, the best series has to be Voltron (before Sven left of course). And before anyone asks; no, I'm not a pot head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
