The cartoons of our youth

First topic message reminder :

Come on then guys, lets hear what your favourite cartoons were when you were a kid.

I used to love Ulysses (although i had no idea what it was about) all that space stuff appealed to me.

Another of my faves was Bravestarr. That futuristic Texas bloke who could use the 'ears of the wolf' 'speed of the puma' 'strength of the bear' and 'eyes of the hawk'

For those who missed it, heres the intro Youtube click here

Great stuff, but what about yours?

Mighty Mouse was another good one I watched when was very young.

Anyone remember Dino-riders? I loved it and even had some of the action figures.

I remember Mighty Mouse, Thundercats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

What about Power Rangers! :run2:

What was the name of the cartoon where a team of American Footballers got sent back in time and became knights that had special powers? I loved that

GoBots (poor mans Transformers but still was enjoyable)

Galaxy High

Thats it! Just watched the theme tune on youtube, I thought that was awesome when I was a kid

Dunno if it's been mentioned already, but 'Mysterious Cities of Gold' was pretty bloody good. Catchy as hell theme tune and the end of each episode had a short documentary style bit about ancient Aztec/Mayan culture. Acquired it again recently and it's still brilliant.

Nice shout on Mighty Mouse

A couple more from the 80's,

Danger Mouse
Denver the last dinasour
Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds
Dennis the Menace
Count Duckula
The Flintstones
Pink Panther
Popeye
Yogi Bear

Count Duckula is a classic.

Pole Position!!!

Man I remember that programme, it was amazing!! Everyone i ask doesn't remember it. I was beginning to think it was only me and my brother that watched it.

What about Albert the fifth musketeer? always enjoyed that

Batfink and Secret Squirrel.

My uncle is the spitting image of batfink!

My wings are like a shield of steel!

Ahh yes, Batfink!

Funny how he nearly died in every episode, but there you go.

Mona the Vampire 8)
Dexter's Laboratory
Scooby Doo
Pokemon
Wacky Races
Teen Titans
Yu Gi Oh

I used to like when they showed some older ones like Top Cat,Pink Panther,The Flinstones.And I think there was one called the jetsons or something along those lines.

My favourites were:

He-Man
Thundercats
Ulyses
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Battle of the Planets
She-Ra
Dungeons and Dragons

Could have done without the moralistic garbage at the end of the some of the programmes, PC was rampant back then too!

Dragonball Z was my favourite from my youth, I've bought all of the box sets of it because it isn't on anymore.
