Dead Children...hey, it's entertainment

Hmm...Classics like Transformers and G.I.Joe. I loved those. Of course, having seen a classic episode more recently, they were shallow as a mirage...or the genepools of some of the people I deal with. Of course, they were also advertising vehicles for toys.

But G.I.Joe had some great public service announcements.

"and knowing is half the battle"

Ouch...doublepost. Sorry

But at least it's on a fresh page.

Fucking ankle biters.

Real telly was
"Ludwig" (FANTASTIC mecha-egg oddness.),
"Bagpuss" (Get this on video if you can, it's fantastic)
"Vicky the Viking"
"Jamie and his magic torch" (Best theme tune ever),
"Crystal Tips and Alistair" (she had the best hair ever),
"Bod", (hum that tune.)
"Chorlton and the wheelies" (scary and a bit trippy),
"Fingerbobs" (But that guy was well creepy),
"Mary Mungo and Midge",
and finally the camp greatness that was "Willo the wisp".

Oh, and there was something about a squirrel conductor too. Oh, and osme of the "MoominTroll" animations were good, but the 'objects on glass' ones, not the cel-drawn ones.

*gets all misty eyed and nostalgic*

[and finally the camp greatness that was "Willo the wisp".

I got the entire series on DVD recently! Nobody but me was impressed...

And lets not forget Dangermouse (just to get back to cartoons).

You know what other modern cartoon doesn't completely suck ass?

is that camp candy?

DUDE! Chocobo!

Casper is Richie Rich's Ghost.

Whoever said dead children arent funny hasn't seen this thread.

Turtles. X-Men. Animaniacs. Old Nick jr. Those were the days....

C'mon kids. None of these cartoons qualify to hold Bugs Bunny's nut sack. Sure, every so often there is something that comes along that is cool (Ren & Stimpy, Zim, Animaniacs), but nothing kicks ass more than the Warner Brothers cartoons of old.

Some of the people promoting the old WB cartoons have a point. They were designed with a wide audience in mind. Of course, I have some question of whether or not they'd pass hollywoods muster today.

Explosives? In a childrens show? Sure, and great fun too. Watch Wiley Coyote blow himself up AGAIN!

And the doublebarrel shotgun with the blue, no red, bow tied on it is also classic.

I, too, enjoyed HB cartoons, but those were definately produts of their time. What, Jane Jetson stays home? Oh, does she telecommute? No? Then why does she stay home?

Personnaly, i was a big fan of cartoons that stuck their fingers in the barrel of the gun, making it explode on the person shooting it.

this picture looks strangely familiar..... hmmmmmm.... i wonder....
