Saturday Morning Classic Cartoons

I remember the days of waking up at 6am on a Saturday morning to watch some of the best television ever....Transformers, M.A.S.K, Centurions, Samuri Pizza Cats, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Thundercats, Another one that was set in a forest with some beavers and a guy called Cyril Sneer??, Trap Door, Bucky O'Hare and so many others.

I know that a lot of people say that Trumpton and Bill & Ben are the original classic childrens programmes but to me these are the classics. What classic cartoons (80's

) can you think of and what do you think of the ones I've mentioned?

Ming I am not expendable, I am not stupid and I am not going

Speaking as a one-time ardent role-player, I thought Dungeons and Dragons was utterly execrable. How on Earth could you have anything D&D-related without bloody and messy bodycounts higher than a small war every week?!? Not to mention the looting of dead bodies etc.

I'm sure they made an all-new funked-up series of He-Man sometime in the 90's. I seem to remember it was terrible. They'll never recapture the magic of the original so they should leave it alone. It's *my* He-Man, all mine, leave it alone, you can't have none!! /me has a tantrum

I remember the New Adventures of He-Man..it was sucky...it had spaceships in it as well...suck-fest

Alan Got a message from the Great Lakes Avengers, They offered me a membership but didn't accept... they're a walking disaster... Just don't make sense at all... the worst heroes of all time, To call thems

Anyone seen the new series of all-time uber-classic Transformers? That Armada, or something... what a load of h********! They've gone and "japanised" it, made it all crappy 'n' stuff. Me no like! [/geekyrant]

Yeah I've seen a couple of episodes Alan and it's not a patch on the original...it's all based on the little robots(digicons?) and is pretty crappy..I wish Boomerang or one of the otehr cartoon channels would show old eps of Transformers, He-Man, Ewoks Adventures, Droids, Pole Position to name but a few *sigh*

Stoo There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Minicons

It is pretty much suckville compared to the original, they're all so wussy compared to the original.. Laserbeak is now a minicon autobot too!

Damn straight Milky, I remember that. Hmmm, let's have a big fight (were they swordfights? I can't remember.) while stood on top of a jet fighter going at high speed through the freezing, oxyge-less vacuum of space... somehow I don't think so!

Incandenza It's not a zero-sum game.

If you want to discuss classic cartoons, then look no further than:

Battle of the Planets

Mark (voiced by Kasey Casem who also did Shaggy in Scooby Doo), Jason, Princess, Tiny and Keeyop ably assisted by 7Zark7 in their attempts to foil the machinations of the evil Zoltar.

I *so* wanted a Phoenix with detachable vehicles to play with when I was a kid.

Happy days.

Wobag Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so...

Now theres a series with a hitory, I think it was knows as Gatchaman in Japan and had a totally different (and all together darker story) wihch was butchered on its western release.

Tis sadly true.

They actually cut so much that 7Zark7 was introduced by the American company to narrate in order to ensure the remaining footage made some kind of sense.

It was still great though.

I remember liking Battle Of The Planets as a kid but I've watched a couple of episodes on Bravo and not really enjoyed it

One cartoon I'd love to get the chance to see again is Voltron but I've never managed to find a DVD/Video of the episodes
