Just thought I'd tell the world that I've been on a retro 80's cartoons kick the past couple of weeks, having broken out all my old videos of The Transformers and making a royal fest of it. Also bought about 15 NEW vids of episodes I haven't seen in years... Anyone else here an 80's cartoon fan? (I can see this thread going on for a while...I think it can reveal a lot about a person to see what kind of cartoons they like...) C'mon, don't be shy! Be a kid again with me...

I've always watched cartoons, I just think it really slowed down for me in the eighties (probably the decade I watched the least amount of tv).
I discovered Dangermouse, but that might be only ten years ago or so. (dang it's hard to type without using my left hand ring finger, I hacked it with a chef's knife last night). There was a Japanese cartoon I used to watch about wizards & a flying ship that looked like that famous battleship, what was it named, the Yamamoto or something.
I grew up on Beany & Cecil, Kukla Fran & Ollie. I remember Muppets from really long ago. Looney Toons, of course, Rocky & Bullwinkle, the Hanna Barbera stuff....
Remind me of the eighties, I must be suffering some short-term memory loss or somethin'.
I watched Transformers, some, but scoffed & disdained. I think I mostly kept thinking 'they don't make cartoons like they used to...'

Its Yamato...aargh with the planet under siege and everyone living underground.... in Battlestar Gallatica its called.... and dangermouse was cool I rmemeber that.. with the mole.... with the theme... saying he's the greatest and all that... allalalala

STAR BLAZERS!!!!!

What an awesome show, I used to get up at 6am every morning and watch that before I went to school. They have all 3 seasons on video, but it would cost something like 600 bucks to get the complete set... I WANT! I WANT!!! =)

Hey, speaking of Transformers, did you know...

After the original U.S. series ended, it was still mega-popular in Japan. SO, the Japanese (being the enterprising folk that they are) CONTINUED THE SERIES!!! They did 3 whole new shows that continued the story from the end of the U.S. series... I've been poking around ebay, and it looks like I just might be able to get my hands on 'em... YEEE-HAA!!! Over 100 episodes of Transformers that we've never even SEEN before! And they're supposed to blow away the originals...
