I thought it would be so cool to bounce around with their gummy power. *lol* I also loved the smurfs, but my ultimate favorite as a kid was Tom & Jerry. I think their a bit pre-80s, however. Prosk8er 11-25-01, 10:49 AM My favorites to were Tom&Jerry also it liked the Smarfs because they were so small! ironeagle1 11-26-01, 03:28 AM My favorite was always Robotech. The reason why it had great music and I loved the Japanese animation . It was like a soap opera cartoon with a story behind it. Rememmber, Robotech rocks!! Zel 11-26-01, 07:00 AM Scooby Doo, Captain Caveman, Smoo, and the Smurfs of course. Secret Railroad and Simon for nostalgic purposes :) Trixter 11-26-01, 07:09 PM Transformers He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Peanuts Chasey 11-26-01, 07:37 PM Originally posted by Zel: <STRONG>Scooby Doo, Captain Caveman, Smoo, and the Smurfs of course.

Is it the same thing I'm thinking of, Zel? :D Recker 11-27-01, 06:25 AM Does anyone remember Fang Face? That's one of my all time favourites. It was a bit of a rip off of Scooby Doo, but man it was funny. JS 11-27-01, 11:40 PM Transformers was--and still is--my fave '80s 'toon. JimVII 12-06-01, 08:53 AM Oh, boy... Fang Face was cool! I used to howl like him when I was 10. Transformers He-Man (still know the whole beginning by heart) Inspector Gadget Tranzor-Z (Voltron rip off, but my favorite!) Jabberjaw- or was that 70's? -Jim seinfan01 12-20-01, 06:19 AM My ultimate fave was Masters Of The Universe (aka He-Man). I watched She-Ra a tiny bit. I also liked Thundercats, Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Tail Spin, Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers, The Real Ghostbusters, Garfield, The Littles (that goes back to like 1985), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I always watched Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. I still remember the lil clay mation thing of the people singing "After these messages we'll be right back". Oh, and I also liked Back To The Future, although I barely remember it. Crazy how all of this stuff I haven't remembered in 10 yrs all of a sudden comes up in my head. lol. --Jeff JimVII 12-20-01, 06:46 AM Oh, yea- I forgot about the Thundercats!! How could I forget about that cartoon??! I used to watch it every day! DUH!! -Jim Dancingdoll1986 12-20-01, 09:59 AM I loved the Smurfs. I also loved the Schoolhouse Rocks things that they'd put on during the Saturday morning cartoons. I have all of those on video, and the full box-set of all the songs.

PacManDave 1-23-02, 09:31 PM I could probably post a list a mile long on this one... what cartoon did I NOT like in the 80's :) Some of my favs though were GI Joe, Transformers, Silverhawks, MASK, Thundercats, Voltron (the lions), He-Man, Go-Bots, Inspector Gadget... but of course, wasn't the king of all cartoons the Pac Man cartoon that ran for awhile!!! I don't recall the exact title of it, but I LOVED it... man, I would LOVE to get some episodes of it on video! battle angel alita 1-23-02, 09:53 PM The Smufs, The Wuzzels, Rainbow Bright, Strawberry Short Cake, The Biskitts and The Ewoks Mary 1-24-02, 07:49 AM Originally posted by 80s hair was I the only one into G-Force? I loved that show!! My husband was crazy about G-Force. I've never seen it! One of my hobbies is 80s cartoons. I know... insanity. I'm not very interested in collecting "homemade" dubs of videos, since the quality is usually so bad, but I do collect theme songs & digitized video clips. :) My favorites: (maybe touching a little of the 70s and the early 90s, please forgive!) Wildfire (http://wildfirecartoon.tvheaven.com) Star Blazers - Now out on DVD! Happy, happy! Dungeons & Dragons JEM Pandamonium Transformers Blackstar Kidd Video Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers DuckTales (premiered in 1987) Gummi Bears Spider Man and His Amazing Friends Laff-A-Lympics Superfriends Thundercats - another one my husband was obsessed with and I just enjoy. Pole Position Rainbow Brite Pirates of Dark Water (early 90s) CBS Storybreak New Tom & Jerry / Grape Ape Hour Barbapapa Ren & Stimpy (early 90s, Spumco episodes) Current favorites: Pepper Ann Powerpuff Girls Samurai Jack I'm always happy to talk 'toons and toon sites! I have to plug my friend Aurora's site, 80s cartoons central (http://www.80scartoons.net/), because she is an xChanger, even if I haven't seen her post here for a while. ;) Mary 1-24-02, 07:53 AM Originally posted by PacManDave but of course, wasn't the king of all cartoons the Pac Man cartoon that ran for awhile!!! I don't recall the exact title of it, but I LOVED it... man, I would LOVE to get some episodes of it on video! Yup! Pac-Man (http://www.classicgaming.com/pac-man/Cartoon/)! The link is a good resource & has some screen caps, etc. Bogie 1-24-02, 08:06 AM Hi Mary http://digilander.iol.it/gar1/sm/a/wave.gif Nice to see ya back. Have you abandoned the northern climes yet? txgirl 1-24-02, 11:32 AM G-Force Smurfs Hong Kong Phooie UnderDog Fleix The Cat (Man I wish I had that bag of tricks) School House Rock Muppet Babies(just loved that kermit) Mary 1-24-02, 12:56 PM Originally posted by Bogie Hi Mary http://digilander.iol.it/gar1/sm/a/wave.gif Nice to see ya back. Have you abandoned the northern climes yet? Hey, Bogie! Nope, we're still in the soggy Northeast. Hubby has yet to finish his Ph.D. dissertation. (is there an "Anxiously Waiting" smiley? lol) DanAria 1-24-02, 10:20 PM Man all I did was watch cartoons.Iwas quite young.Lets see oh about 4.Although i wacthed other stuff.:D :hammer: oouga 1-30-02, 06:57 PM Hmmm... maybe I'm a bit late to be answering, always was a bit late for things, but here are my favorite cartoons of the 80's! Battle of the Planets (okay, technically a 70's but Jason still was cool) Voltron (Yum... Sweynn! Lance was also cool.) Dungeons & Dragons (Shelia was neat, and I never appreciated Hank until three years ago) Biscuits!!! (no one remembers Biscuits...) Barbie (okay, there were only like two but hey ::shrug::) Beverly Hill Teens (I want Radley! Jett was cool!) Kidd Video (Ash was great, except those goofy rhymes) Voltron (Cars) Tranzor-Z (still have some old episodes on tape) He Man (Yum... Adam) Strawberry Shortcake (I can still anme them all) GI Joe (Man, gotta love Shipwreck!) Jem (though I didn't start watching it until five years ago) And of course, there's those traditional WB cartoons that every kid watches. But don't give me Bugs, I don't particularly like him. I'll take Taz any day. I forgot the Care Bears, how could I? ***************************** Anyhow, someone asked if they were the only G-Force lover, and I say you nay! G-force was actually titled Battle of The Planets. they ran from the late 70's to the mid 80's (in reruns then), and then were reintroed in teh 90's as G-Force. They were then reintroed in the 90's (again) as Eagle Riders. It was originally a Japanese Cartoon labelled Gatchaman, which was also reintroduced as Gatchaman in the 90's I believe. Now, if anyone has any episodes of ANY of the G-Force (or other titles in the wide series) Or any Jem! I'd love to communicate about purchasing copies or originals. I've been looking for anything G-Force a long time, and Jem.... well, I accidentally taped X-Files over my roomie's ENTIRE collection, and want to try to replace it. As for Biskitts, do you recall the episode with the kittens? They were Whiskers. ****************************** MARY: i remember what I wanted to say, now. Did you ever watch the Original Captain Planet? ((Not the reintro'd one)). Yes, I liked Pirate of Dark Waters, too. Sigh. They don't hav very many good cartoons out anymore, that aren't re-runs, re-intro's, or re-makes. And the Smiling you want may look like this: :uhoh: Crysty fiya kraka 1-30-02, 08:08 PM Scooby Doo Smurfs Inspector Gadget (go go gadet arms-------------------+) Snorks Shirt Tales Jem Mystery Woman 1-30-02, 08:19 PM I sorta paid attention to most of the Saturday morning line-up while I was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for everyone. I actually really liked the Smurfs for a while, and I can remember watching the Snorks, Scooby Doo and Jem, too. My favorite was Star Blazers. I don't remember which years we got to see which seasons, but I know I used to watch it after school (in the early 80's) and my sister hated it! geminiduran 1-30-02, 11:48 PM my faves are Voltron {lion} Transformers, ThunderCats, He Man, Hulk Hogan Rock and Rasslin, RoboTech, Mr T Mary 1-31-02, 06:48 AM Hehe Crysty. I didn't realize we were almost equally nuts about cartoons. I did watch the original Captain Planet and the Planeteers. I get the theme song stuck in my head now and then. Captain Planet.... He's a hero...... gets pollution down to zero?! Originally posted by oouga And the Smiling you want may look like this: :uhoh: That's perfect!! I feel like I should maybe start another thread on Star Blazers, but for now I'll put it here... MysteryWoman, I know what you mean about Star Blazers being a very individual taste ;) My husband, even though he loved G-Force, hates it. He actually falls asleep whenever I watch my DVDs. The first season, "The Quest for Iscandar," is all out now, 6 volumes. "Iscandar" was the only series released in the US in English dub in the late 70s/ early 80s. They've just started on releasing the DVDs from "The Comet Empire," the second series, which I have never seen. I've been shopping at Anime Corner Store (http://www.animecornerstore.com/starblazers.html), they are cheaper than Amazon and almost always have them in stock. I only have the first 3 volumes of Quest for Iscandar... I have some catching up to do, LOL. I wonder whether they got the original English cast to dub The Comet Empire... I'd heard that they were willing. I was obsessed with Derek Wildstar when I was a little kid, and I wanted to *be* Nova. Heh. It's nice that I still liked the show after not having seen it for 20 years. That doesn't always happen! oouga 1-31-02, 04:35 PM LOL, Mary I am still obsessed with cartoons, though some run to the more adult Japanamation and Manga stuff. Heck, if you name a cartoon from the 80's, and I watched it (How could I forget Mr. T?) I can probably still name the entire lineup, right down to any last names that were given in the shows. LOL, I still write stories with the characters, too, so can give you all kinds of complex histories, birthdays, and other stuff that were never actually released. (If something was released I tried not to change it). Crysty Johnny Z 1-31-02, 07:41 PM On a related note to Star Blazers, does anyone remember Force Five? It used to come on before Star Blazers on channel 25 in Boston. What made Force Five unique was that it showed five different anime cartoons (the giant-robot types), one for each day of the week. I personally preferred the ones on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Alas, because of my imperfect memory, I can only remember the one on Tuesday (Star Vengers, I think)? Anyone care to jog my memory on the others? Please? :confused: mabas9395 2-01-02, 05:44 PM Here you go JohnnyZ, I got this from the yesterdayland.com website. "Force Five was not a single television show, but a syndicated series that showcased five different anime programs once a week, dubbed into English for an American audience. The compilation was mainly shown in New England in the early 1980's, with Danguard Ace airing on Mondays, Starvengers on Tuesdays, Spaceketeers on Wednesdays, Grandizer on Thursdays and Gaiking on Fridays." Johnny Z 2-02-02, 12:21 AM Ah, yes. Glad to see that my memory is only 80% shot, not 100% gone. :ego: Thanks! Now, off to see the anime freaks I know and see if they've ever heard of those cartoons before.... jdasilva 2-05-02, 09:59 AM Growing up mostly overseas (Air Force brat), our TV programming was mostly from the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. They aired the same stuff they did back in the States, just a little later than normal. I recall on Saturday mornings they would have Gaiking or Starblazers. The Filipino TV stations in Manila would show Voltes V, Mazinga Z (Tranzor Z in the U.S.), Daimos, Battle of the Planets, and UFO Grandizer, among others. Around 1981 the Marcos government pulled all anime from the air claiming they were too violent for kids. After returning here to the States in 1983, I quickly became wrapped up in watching Transformers, Thundercats, G.I. Joe (the early two seasons), Danger Mouse and, my favorite still to this day, Robotech. krikkitt 2-05-02, 02:04 PM I loved both G-force and Battle of the planets, but I watched Battle of the Planets first, and I am loyal to that version. My other favorite cartoons are mainly from the 70's. So I guess I shouldn't list them here....:rolleyes: space-invader 2-06-02, 08:44 PM yeah g-force was good...havent seen it in so many years speed racer is my fav (great japanese cartoon from 60's) when did the simpsons start? was it in the late 80's on the tracy ullman show? krikkitt 2-07-02, 07:31 AM I looks like the Simpsons started in 1987 on Tracey Ullman's show. http://www.snpp.com/guides/tracey.ullman.html Roemello 2-09-02, 01:44 AM My limited memory (and reading some previous posts :lol: ) recall a few favorites being.... Masters of the Universe Transformers Voltron ThunderCats Dragon's Lair (faintly remember this one...) Snorks Smurfs Inhumanoids Ghostbusters (the fake one with the two guys and a monkey...man that don't sound right....lol) Sectaurs Pac-Man Inspector Gadget Denver, the Last Dinosaur Dino-Riders Dinosaucers (seeing a pattern here? :lol: ) ok...that's enough...you get the picture :p purrsyn9 2-23-02, 06:38 PM Kissyfur was the greatest 80's cartoon. It didn't last more than two or three seasons because it had no gratuitious violence or exploding body parts. I really enjoyed the show. It came on either just before or just after the Smurfs, so I learned to love the Smurfs as well. Although not strictly 80's and not strictly a "cartoon", Davey and Goliath still brings a smile to my face, particularly when I imitate Goliath saying, "DAAAAAAVVVVVYYYYYYYYY"!:D Mary 2-25-02, 12:05 PM Originally posted by purrsyn9 Kissyfur was the greatest 80's cartoon.

They sometimes have new unopened copies of Kissyfur videos. My husband's name is Christopher, so he *hated* Kissyfur... the only thing his little sister was ever able to truly tease him with, hah! used to have a great link for this one, Paddlecab County, but it is apparently defunct. :cry: purrsyn9 2-25-02, 12:25 PM Originally posted by Mary C Hey Purrsyn, do you have Buck-A-Book out your way?

We don't really have any discount book stores out here. Mary, I will gladly pay for any videos you come across! Please let me know!!!!! I can get them off the internet but they are like $30 each! Ha! Funny about your husband not liking Kissyfur! Good thing is middle name was not Azrael! Mary 2-25-02, 01:20 PM Purrsyn, next time I'm at Buck-A-Book I'll peek at the video rack and PM you if I find any. :D Christine 2-25-02, 01:49 PM Wow. Mine were probably Chip ' N Dale Rescue Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fraggle Rock, David The Gnome, Maya The Bee, Under the Umbrella Tree, and Duck Tales. (may be getting into the early 90's a little bit) Brings back memories! :D :cool: purrsyn9 2-25-02, 05:16 PM Originally posted by Mary C Purrsyn, next time I'm at Buck-A-Book I'll peek at the video rack and PM you if I find any. :D Thanks a bunch! Let me know if you pick any up and I will shoot a check off to you, including postage, of course! Muffy Mouse 3-04-02, 01:09 PM Hello! Well, I was just a kid in the 80s, and most of my memories of the time was related to the cartoons. I really loved Inspector Gadget, Jem and the Holograms, Popples, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, Pound Puppies, Rose Petal, the Get Along Gang, Lady Lovely Locks, Ghostbusters, Rainbow Brite, and, of course, the Disney movies of the time. I also really loved just about all of Jim Henson’s work as well as the Canadian Muppet-like show, Today’s Special. I think that the 80s was a golden time for animation and family shows, and I think it’s a shame that most of them are all but forgotten, and definitely not in wide distribution, if they’re still out there at all. I really do wish there could be a station to air all those wonderful shows we cherished as children! Michelle tracyscotch 3-07-02, 05:02 PM Loved Captain Caveman,but my real fave was Dangermouse. Absolutely hated Thundercats, and tho it's not really a cartoon am really attatched to Bagpuss(which I can now see on Sky!) Screamin80s 1-07-05, 06:30 PM Most definately, it was star blazers. downloaded alot of the episodes online, and stored them! Very cool !! I grew every saturday looking for reruns and new episodes! Man thats some memories there! :thumb: bjacobs 3-01-05, 11:40 AM SilverHawks. None of my friends have ever heard of this cartoon, and what's worst is that there are no episodes on DVD. Darkhaven 3-01-05, 10:55 PM Good sweet lord, my favorite cartoons?!? Top five: Thundercats (I have all six gigs worth!), Robotech, Dungeons and Dragons, Galaxy High (anyone have these?), and The Real Ghostbusters. The others, in no specific order: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He Man, Voltron, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Captain N, Legend of Zelda (I have all of these as well!), Inhumanoids, G-Force, Teen Wolf, CBS Storybreak, G.I Joe, Dennis the Menace, Heathcliff, Photon, The Kids Super Power Hour with Shazam!, Punky Brewster, Pee Wee's Playhouse (it counts!), Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, and X Men.

But I've watched other '80s animated series: GI Joe, MASK (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), Masters of the Universe, Voltron (a predecessor to the Power Rangers) and GoBots (a Transformers rival until 1991, when Hasbro acquired Tonka). exidy 3-14-05, 05:03 AM My favorites were the Smurfs, the Shmoo, captain Caveman, Dungeons and Dragons, Masters of the Universe also liked Starcade tv show. eXidy http://www.arcade-classics.com a-harulz 4-01-05, 06:06 PM Smurfs Thundercats He-man Scooby Doo Care bears iceprincess814 4-06-05, 07:58 PM These Are My Favorites: Jem Shirt Tales Kidd Video The Snorks He-man / She-ra The Smurfs lilchinagirl 4-06-05, 08:31 PM My absolute favorites were The Gummy Bears and The Smurfs.
