Don't forget She-Ra.

Oooh, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I know I have those toys stashed around here somewhere. Then there was the original Transformers. One time I actually wrote my name as "Optimus Prime" on a test in first grade, and nearly got in alot of trouble for it.

Hmm...what else....Dinosaucers!

Oohh Denver the Dinosaur!

Panthro was my favourite thundercat, he was big, blue, bald, and quite possibly gay. He also drove the ace thundermobile (i think it was called that)

look it's panthro!

Thundertank.

I used to have the toy version of it. On Steakandcheese.com they have a wav of thindercat bloopers. Quite funny to hear your boyhood idols tellign each other to fuck off in character. Incidently i prefered Jaga. Can anyone see a resembelance to Ben Kenobi with him?

I'm sure that the similarities were intentional.

Are remember Silverhawks looking cool but I only watched it a few times.

The Real Ghostbusters was excellent. It's also the reason Slimer had to make a cameo in Ghostbusters II.

I don't remember Turbo Teen and only vaguely recall the name Rubix.

I used to watch Hulk Hogan's Rock & Wrestling semi-regularly. Other than Hogan I mainly remember Captain Lou Albano and Andre the Giant on the show.

I only caught a small bit of Rambo and don't remember it being all that good.

Montcalm · Post by **Montcalm** » 2003-07-04 09:19pm

Hulk Hogan and Rambo reminded me of another cartoon "Mr T"

Tsyroc · Post by **Tsyroc** » 2003-07-04 09:24pm

How about another cartoon that screams 80s, "Kid Video"?

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2003-07-04 09:28pm

The Real Ghostbusters was my favourite show as a kid, absolutely superb.

MAybe that's the reason i ended up like i am now? Who knows?

Yeah, I miss that show.

Remember that rip-off version that had them with an old wind-up car from the 40's or something?

That rip-off version was trying to capitalize on the movie but it was based on a live action show I used to watch in the 70s. IIRC it had the two main guys from F-Troop and a gorilla who went around dealing with ghosts. It was pretty decent as a live action show but quickly disappeared as a cartoon.

It certainly couldn't compete with the Real Ghostbusters. That show had some very good writing for a cartoon.

No, but i remember the figures of them (i got most of them), an episode where there was another team of ghostbusters that stole their business, one where there was this TV-demon, with a ghost spock and mccoy, who says "we're dead jim".When i was old enough to understand that i found it hella funny. The TV demon also said "DIE NOW PAY LATER" also very clever.

Apparently there's an episode written by JMS of b5 fame called "Collect Call Of Cthulhu"...someone should put them on kazaa.

Then there was the piss-poor remake, with a politically correct Ghostbusters, including more "ethnic" ghostbuster members and a guy in a wheelchair.

Fuck, gonna have to find my ancient videos now...

Vertigo1 · Post by **Vertigo1** » 2003-07-04 09:40pm

Yeah. The car talked too....

Post by **Steve** » 2003-07-04 10:56pm

Hey! Extreme Ghostbusters was not that bad! It had some cool episodes, and the characters were entertaining. Although having a wheelchair bound Ghostbuster (Even an athletic one as Garrett was) was really pushing it.

I liked it when they linked back to episodes of the original Ghostbusters cartoon, and even better, the two-parter episode where the rest of the original team (Winston, Ray, and Peter) came back and they whupped ghostie ass.

That said..... Ghostbusters. Transformers. Ducktales. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 'Nuff said.

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2003-07-05 11:05am

The show was called The Mysterious Cities of Gold. It only had about 40 episodes in all.

I remember that I was intrigued by that show. Loved all the funny ancient gadgets...
