80s Cartoons..... Fun times.

[Gingerbread Demon]

Some videos I found. There's a whole bunch of these online in a series so just posting a few.

Brings back a hell of a lot of memories growing up in the 80s..... Howcome cartoons and shows were so much more inventive then they are now? Why?

Anyway on with the videos. Feel free to comment.

There are just too many of these to put them all there but there's a huge pile of stuff in there that I fondly remember.

Can't watch those videos yet but I'll check them out later. I loved loads of 80s cartoons though.

I do remember a weird time travel series based on Happy Days though. I think it was called 'Fonz and the Happy Days Gang', and it had a talking dog.

Yes there was...... And it had lots of jokes aimed at the adults as well as for kids. Some of the lines in the show watching it now a "ding" goes off in my mind now and I laugh. Have watched a few online.

There was also a Laverne & Shirley cartoon which I believe included a talking pig.

^^Wait.. What??
Boy am I glad I missed that one...

I have to say I don't have many 80s toons that I look fondly back on... Spiderman and Friends... Godzilla.. Those were passable... I have to admit I was a big fan of the early seasons of the Smurfs... But the rest just left me very meh... I was VERY into Robotech and found the cartoony (by comparison) violence of things like GI Joe were laughable at best.. Couldn't stand the Transformers, Thundercats or Thundar the Barbarian... My Saturday morning viewing was mostly the old Looney Tunes...

My cartoon habits picked up later with the Batman TAS, Animaniacs and the various early CW shows like the Mummy, Jackie Chan and a few others I can't remember other than Batman. When Cartoon Network came around, I got into Dexter and the Powerpuff Girls, as well as the Teen Titans, but in recent years, most have fallen very flat for me.

The Thundarr intro genuinely gave me the chills when I was in grade school.

In particular I remember one episode where Thundarr and his friends go back in time to the world before the disaster. And they did nothing to save it?

Nothing beats Mighty Orbots!

 

[Guy Gardener]

It's a little dodgy in retrospect, that the Orbot Commander (the human) had a robot assistant that looked like a nine year old girl.

Seriously?

Seriously?

Seriously?

Me too.

I guess had they saved the world in the past they would "poof" out of existence.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Or perhaps a new timeline would be created (in which the disaster never happened), but it wouldn't replace the original. Like what ST's Kelvin Universe films have done.

Then again, it's likely that nobody in Thundarr's present time even knows when the disaster happened OR what caused it...

 

[Owain Taggart]

Mine were the Muppet Babies, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs and the original TMNT.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I never liked the Mighty Orbots. I always thought they were a cheap knock off of Transformers, G1 Transformers were the bomb for some of us in the 80s. Michael Bay shat on our childhoods

Even though I grew up with many Saturday morning cartoons (I have fond memories of watching The Smurfs while eating a bowl of Smurfberry Crunch cereal), I really was into the weekday syndicated action cartoons I used to watch almost religiously after coming home from school:

• Voltron
• Transformers
• G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero
• He-Man and The Masters of the Universe
• Robotech
• M.A.S.K.
• Thundercats
• Silverhawks
• Ghostbusters

and even some more obscure ones:

• The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
• Bionic Six
• Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors
• Spiral Zone

But Saturday mornings were still awesome, especially when ABC, CBS, and NBC tried to capitalize on current fads, such as when they produced shows based on Pac-Man and Mister T. I still have a soft spot for Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends to this day.

OMG someone else remembers these.

Galaxy Rangers is still fun. Also one of the very few cartoons not to shy away from people being injured or dead. Niko in one episode was bed ridden and I think she also got shot in another episode too, or maybe that was Goose. The shame of that was that the writers had a definite plan and they never got to finish their story as the 2nd season never happened. It would have been nice to see Foxxe save his wife Eliza.

In many ways ATGR makes me think of Firefly.

My favorites were Garfield and Captain N.

Garfield was one of my faves too. Along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Man, some of these intros bring back some memories .

I even liked some of Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea

They had a cool theme song
