What about the poor kids who couldn't afford Transformers? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qXB4wvqCPBU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qXB4wvqCPBU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Well if we're strictly looking at American shows I'll have to say Transformers, with GI Joe being a close second But there were plenty of other memorable stuff like BraveStar for example
I still remember sitting there in disbelief for the first 30 mins or so of the movie we my brother took to watch it as a kid. Even now that was a pretty brutal start to that movie considering it was for kids, don't think you'd seen anything close to that again from a kids show.
Best episodes of the 80's ....bar none! So many references to Thundercats, but it seems to be missing something hmmmmm........

These weren't the 80's, but they've been mentioned and were better than the others. They were shown in the '80's. Number 1 by far was Speed Racer. 2. Johnny Quest
first movie i ever cried to as a kid. I remember my dad thinking I was a total loon when I was watching it. i have the movie now on blu-ray and is till get a bit wet eyed when watching that scene.
yep had to order it from the UK though but its region free its by far the best quality print I have seen for the movie, you may know how there were several different prints that were good and bad in their own rights. link
They were replaced with such classics such as spongebob squarepants and pokemon. planes = Arialbots me=nerd For me it was Transformers, He-Man, Thundercats, the TMNT. There was a cartoon that I watched when I was a kid that had to do with robots but instead of transforming, they would have these gears(?) or something that they could connect to themselves...or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And how about Dangermouse? Did any of you watch that?
Transformers is still the best. So many cool parts to that show - even though it was one of the best examples of the '30 minute commercial' - that made it awesome. Not only the cool different robots, but how different they were. Like how I knew Starscream was a weaselly, cowardly backstabbing SOB that even Megatron couldn't trust. And of course: Pretty crazy to throw at the kids out of nowhere. This stuff was awesome. It's so sad that kids don't get to grow up with the joy of Saturday Morning Cartoons anymore. I blame that crap Power Rangers.
but i dont think after school cartoons are on anymore either when I was a kid there was plenty of after school cartoons gummi bears tale spin duck tales darkwing duck chip n dale rescue rangers quack pack goof troop bonkers tiny toon adventures bobbys world animaniacs freakazoid histeria tmnt batman the animated series i remember when i was sick and stayed at home a few months back i turned on the tv at like 3 or so and all that was on were talk shows and all during what was normally "kids" time from 3-5pm i have no idea if they still have saturday morning stuff or not. i feel its a crime in some ways
it was pretty awesome the GIJoe movie was going to kill off quite a few main characters as well but the general reaction, mostly in the way of new toy sales, to the Transformer slash and burn approach made them rethink the approach. They decided to take a safer approach with the GIJoe animated flick and keep the favs out of any danger.
Damn dude, didn't know about that UK bluray! Have to get me one now! I know there have been various crap editions of the movie but the last one I have isn't horrible but hardly great either, it's the most recent collectors edition that came out before the live action flick.
I watched every single cartoon up there....I miss good cartoons Justice League/Justice League Unlimited was a great one too. It wasn't 80s but was a great cartoon drama.
Epic fail thread! Where is Dungeons and Dragons? How can you overlook this masterpiece? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mfif5DiGMYc&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mfif5DiGMYc&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
