As the title suggests, I am creating this thread for us to share and discuss some of our favorite shows growing up and even today. Feel free to post whatever you'd like. Let's take a trip down memory lane and create a memorable thread. :)

I'll go first, this is one of my favorites:

OF COURSE!



Damn they don't do intros like these anymore.

Sure some of the plots were absurd and such, and the premise was just to get me to by sugar and plastic but damn, I liked a time when after school I didn't need cable to watch cartoons.

NICE, I've actually never heard of a few of those shows lol. Good stuff though, the 80's had some good stuff as well.:)

So many...90's cartoons were awesome.

Hell yeah man, I'm a 90's baby so I mostly grew up with those.

Damn I feel old now...Some of these cartoons came out almost 20 years ago...

Lol I know right! I know how you feel. God I miss all those Disney shows, they were awesome. I remember back when DirecTV first came out I used to watch the ToonDisney channel ALL THE FREAKIN TIME. I literally fell in love with just about everything they aired.

I have a box in a closet with VHS tapes and a VCR for future generations of Hustle.

Speaking of which a lot of these were re-released on DVD so I'll have to go looking again.

Side notes (Since Awesmic is not around):

1. Silver Hawks, Thundercats, and Tigersharks (not shown) were written and done by the same teams.

2. Robotech was the American name and re edited version of the widely known anime Macross.

3. Pole Position was an arcade and later Atari game.

4. Bionic Six was loosely based off of the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman TV series.

5. Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors cartoon show was developed BEFORE the toy line came to states for domestic release. The vehicles came with generic military figures unlike those seen in the intro.

Also the show NEVER finished! It was going to have a movie like Transformers did, but due to the parent outcry of their kids being scarred for life after all the robot death and carnage (OPTIMUS!! And well it was the 80's). It never came to be. Which is sad cuz I saw part of the script and I SO NEEDED CLOSURE!

It's topics like this I would usually be tempted to write a 5 page essay on... but I won't go that far.

My favorite anime's always gonna be Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers). When it aired in the summer of '95 early in the afternoon, I just didn't give a fuck what came on afterward... not even on FOX. That anime successfully compelled me to care about the genre enough to spark a curiosity to see it in its purest form. At the same time, the story was quite simple enough to draw me in while not feeling overly complex. It was also interesting that while the content surrounding the anime got dumbed down, it retained its original music when it was dubbed, which was truly a rarity at the time for most anime that get "compromised".

Aside from the anime itself (I'd personally prefer a remake) and making for a potentially interesting crossover with Sailor Moon, it also spawned my mutual respect for a handful of voice actors from the Ocean Group - Matt Hill, Michael Donovan, Scott McNeil, Ward Perry, David Kaye, Kathleen Barr, Saffron Henderson, Janyse Jaud, Paul Dobson, Bryan Drummond, etc. - who would further motivate my own interest in voice acting through many other works, such as Ranma 1/2, Key the Metal Idol, Gundam Wing, Darkstalkers, and above all, Galaxy Express 999. It's for these reasons that particular anime will always hold a special place in my heart personally.

As far as cartoons go, I'm listing those. Most of you old-timers know most of 'em, and expressed your memories well enough:
Thundercats
C.O.P.S.
Rocko's Modern Life
Garfield and Friends
Comic Strip
Silverhawks
Transformers
Gargoyles
M.A.S.K.
The New Archies
Inspector Gadget
Denver the Last Dinosaur
Batman TAS
X-Men
S.W.A.T. Kats
Galaxy Rangers
James Bond Jr.
Pirates of Dark Water
G.I. Joe

Sorry for the wall of text, but it's subjects like this that get me starry-eyed and in a ranting mood.
