I don't think we ever got Tazmania.

Gotta love the setting - a bit of Tassie (the cliffs) but the rest looks like bits of Hawaii, the Congo and Utah! Laugh

Sharkey and George, i downloaded every episode and the theme tune was missing from the start of every one.

by **Pr4wn** Fri Apr 12, 2013 10:52 pm

Blinkey Bill, if anyone watch that.

by Guest Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:10 pm

Not a cartoon but "the Book Tower" theme music used to scare me...as did Tom Baker.

Got go for Hong Kong Phooey, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Captain Pugwash, Thundercats (and I do love "Ancient Spirits of Evil, transform this decaying flesh into Mum-Ra the Ever Living...Aaaarrrrrgggghgh!!!"

Sharkey and George springs to mind, but the undisputed king in my eyes is Animaniacs. Brilliant show, too.

Pink Panther?

Popeye with lyrics.
