I miss Saturday morning cartoons...

I've always had the impression that Power Rangers was some Japanese show that people chopped up and added english actors to part of it. it was always so disjointed.

The Tick, Eek the Cat and Earthworm Jim! one cannot find such genius anymore. I mean, you just can't get any better than John Cleese narrating in a completely unworried fashion, "We join our heros on the planet Heck as they are in grave peril and face certain death."

*note to all smackers and punchers* one really can't know a person without having fought them ya know. I think it's great everybody wants to know everybody else as intimately as you obviously do. the love.. just.. makes me :whimper: anybody got a tissue?

The Power Rangers were awful. Just awful.

The Tick was masterful! I can't believe I forgot to include that. I also forgot to include The Legend of Zelda and the Super Mario Brothers show. I loved those! *sniffle* I wish I could get all these old cartoons on DVDs.

I like G.I. Joe and Dinoriders, but I think I must've been dreaming when I watched these, seeing as everyone else thinks I'm crazy and that they don't exist.

---

I remember DinoRiders! I think I actually had a coloring book....<_<

what was the show about the aliens who looked like dinosaurs and rode around in dinosaur shaped ships and could hit a button on their chest and morph from dinosaur lookin humanoids to the actual species they resembled? there was like an evil T-Rex and his Brontosaur and triceretops henchmen and a good Allisaur (how do you bloody spell that?!) and an archiopterix and a few others.

what was that show? it wasn't on long. but it was fun.

nobody's heard of it? DeBlayde's showing his age again? *hides*

I used to like the old power rangers, Get'm Kimberly! Tommy! Sonic! YAY! It still comes on, but the older ones were better. Is it me, or do the earlier version of shows seem a lot better than the newer ones? But hey...

As for me, I can remember watching powerrangers when I was much younger. It was good back then, but now it's just cheesy and crap.

Why has nobody metioned Fairy Odd Parents? It's good :( Sponge bob too, but yes, there is still a lot of crap out there, but there have always been crappy cartoons.

I love you, Del. :love:

Spongebob? I don't see what's funny about it. I'm not saying I don't like it, I just don't get it...South Park, now that's stupid and funny, and I still kind of get it. Fairy Odd Parents is okay, but I can find Power Puff Girls more entertaining for some reason. Oh well

It's FAIRLY Odd Parents, by the way. :)

I don't like that one, either. PowerPuff Girls, yes.

Does anyone know if this stuff can be found on DVD? Like My Little Pony, Pound Puppies, BraveStarr, David the Gnome, etc. Y'know, general 80's stuff. I haven't seen anything in stores except for the occasional movie (Care Bear movie, etc.)

Do they have My little ponies dvds? I've never heard of Pound Puppies and crew (I owb MLP) but it sounds like something that if I find i'll gove to my little cousin. MY little Ponies was tv show?

Yes it was. Trust me, I used to love it as a kid. Now a days, I'm thinking 'Why the hell did I like that show?!'

Kumbaya.


Yes, both the quantity and quality of Saturday morning cartoons have fallen. The early 90's used to have runs till 1 in the afternoon, usually starting off with the lighthearted stuff (Bobby's World, etc.), and finishing of with X-men, Ninja Turtles, and just because it was so cool, The Tick. (A big, blue, salmon of justice swimming upstream to the very spawning grounds of evil!)

Saturday morning "jumped the shark" with power rangers. The well drawn quality cartoons were replaced with degenerate live-action crapfests. And the good stuff, with a few exceptions, never came back.

Anyone else remember Captain N? (I think that was it... he had an NES controller on his belt that gave him super powers, and he teamed up with Kid Icarus and Megaman to fight Mother Brain... good times...) Or Exosquad? ... I'm sad now. :cry:

Captain N, The Game Master...I loved that show. And I do remember Exosquad ever Sunday morning. I enjoyed it. And anyone remember Reboot? Also, there was this 3D cartoon on Sundays on the WB that had something to do with this chick travelling to different planets which each represented an element to try to get them to ally together against some greater foe that destroyed her planet. I can't remember the name though. o_O Anyway, I loved it. Beast Wars wasn't so bad either.
I loved Ghostbusters back in the day too.

i miss the cartoons that were on monday-friday mornings before i went to school. Saturday morning cartoons, i never seemed to watch, because i would sleep-in, yes even at the young age of 6-10 i was up untill 10pm-1am i was too afraid to sleep :x_x:, and i would hate myself for it because i wanted to watch some of the shows on "One Saturday Morning"( i think that's what it was called :confused: )

I don't know if they have the dvds, that's why I was asking. :P Pound Puppies came out around the same time as MLP, and Care Bears too. They were all good cartoons that I loved as a child. I had coloring books, too, and I still have a cardboard box full of MLP's at my parents' house. *sniffle*
I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of them. My Little Ponies and Care Bears are coming back now because marketers are smart. They know that my generation, the generation that grew up with them, are now old enough to be having kids of our own, and therefore would more than likely buy them for said kids, if for nothing else than nostalgia. Same goes for Weebles!

Ah, the memories.
