Cartoons of back in the day

[zombiekilling101]

When I was a lad I couldnt wait to come home and watch Spiderman at 3:00. Beast Wars saturday morning. Transformers, Gargoyles, Batman superman adventures..

Good shit!

whats your guy's favorites?

street racer is comign soon but that was just before my cartoon days.


one thing for sure they dont make em like they used to.

[nirvroxx]

duuuude, GI joe...the real ghostbuster, transformers, thundercats...x-men. batman (you know where everycharacther is "square-y")...oh and I think you meant speed racer...b4 my time as well...good one Todd.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

No they definitely don't make them like they used to, that's for sure.

I was a Nickelodeon junkie myself. Here was my daily line up:

come home from school at 3:30
3:30-Rockos Modern Life
4:00-Doug
4:30-Are You Afraid Of The Dark? (my absolute FAVORITE show:clap:)
5:00-I can't remember this one
5:30-Rugrats


I think that's how it went. I could be wrong. But I am certain of Are You Afraid Of The Dark? being at 4:30 and Rugrats being at 5:30.

Does anyone remember Scooby Do and the 13 ghosts? That show was awesome!

I also loved scooby do, angry beavers, invader zim, hey arnold, ren and stimpy, gargoyles, recess, pink panther, pepper ann, and the magic school bus was fun.


I really wish I could remember what all they used to play on Saturday morning cartoons...I can only remember Recess and Pepper Ann eventually they got the Disney version of Doug.

Pizza Cats was a cool show.

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

What about Pete and Pete? I know it wasn't a cartoon, but man I sure did love that show! I actually have a friend who got to be an extra in the very last episode they did. It was the Halloween episode.

dont remember that one

[Zombreach]

I know this will age me, but when I was a kid, I watched the afternoon special (usually a movie) when I got home from school. There were no cartoons except early in the morning and on Saturdays.

Before school, I watched Kimba, The Great White Lion. Very few people have heard of it. I think it was mostly shown in Michigan. :lol: It was a great cartoon!

On Saturdays, my favorite show was Sir Graves Ghastly. (I know, not a cartoon) He hosted horror movies. Similar to the more popular and well known Elvira.

As for cartoons on Saturday, I watched the ever popular Bugs Bunny Show, Rocky and BullWinkle, Felix the Cat, etc. I just can't seem to remember the others. :doh: Old age you know?!

As a young adult, I loved to watch The Smurfs, HeMan, and The Adventures of Johhny Quest. I think I'll leave it at that, grab up my cane, and head out the door, at a very fast shuffle!

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

Heh, that is definitely before my time! Half of that I have never heard of.

Although I do remember being a small child and going to my great grandmas house and watching the smurfs. They were awesome! loved the mushrooms and still do.


Sounds like my mom with all the classics. She's a nut about Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner and all those old school cartoons. They really never did anything for me though.:roll:



How can you not remember The Adventures of Pete and Pete?!?!?!!? The two red headed brothers both named Pete? Remember younger Pete had a tattoo on his forearm of some chick named Petunia that danced?

[Zombreach]

Old School I must be then!! As for doing nothing for you..well, there really wasn't a lot to choose from. Not like today. They seem pretty lame to me now too.

I have never lost my enjoyment for a good cartoon though. My son, who is 12, watches a lot of the cartoons you have mentioned. Most of them drive me crazy, but I am an old lady, you know. :lol:

[Zombie Buffet]

I was more of a Voltron and Speed Racer fan myself. Later on I became addicted to Ren & Stimpy. :lol:

[DarthJoe8]

Before school, I watched Kimba, The Great White Lion. Very few people have heard of it. I think it was mostly shown in Michigan. :lol: It was a great cartoon!


That's funny that you mention that show. My white Am. Staff (pit bull) is named Kimba. I've never seen the show but I've googled for pictures. She was named by a four year old. :)

[DarthJoe8]

Any one remember Thundar the Barbarian?:drinking:

Or how about Captain Cave Man?:drinking:This guy was like the Fonz cool.

I remember Captain Cave Man.....wasn't that show a part of the block that played Mighty Man and Yuck (the creature with the doghouse on his head)?

[DarthJoe8]

:lol:Some friends and I were just talking about Yuck the other day. He'd take off the doghouse and people be horrified at what they saw. :lol: I'm not sure about the block they ran in but i think your right.:think:

Great stuff.:drinking:

How about Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu4r7sAe9XM

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

OMG!!!!!!!! That reminds me! How could I possibley forget about Captain Planet?!?! I Love that show!



Remember you can help save the world too! Turn off the lights when you're not using them, and fix leaky facets. And of course remember the three r's Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!:)

[Victor Clark]

I remember watching tons of cartoons on both Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network. My favorites were Ed Edd & Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Spongebob Squarepants, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, Celebrity Deathmatch, School House Rock and tons of the old-school Bugs Bunny cartoons. I know a lot of those shows aren't that old, but neither am I, so whatever.

[ZombiesAteMyDog]

ninja turtles, thunder cats, GI joe, transformers, jace and the wheel warriors.

there are soooo many more, but these are the main ones ( pretty sure any kid from the 80's loved these same shows )

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

Spongebob Square Pants is probably the worst cartoon ever made....About the time that cartoon came out was when Nickelodeon wasn't worth watching anymore.




Oh! Courage the Cowardly Dog!!!!!

I forgot all about Cartoon Network!

I also liked Space Ghost Coast to Coast

Cow and Chicken?

Kablam was fun! Life with Loopy and Justice League Now where my favs on there!

[zombiekilling101]

[as_i_lay_dying]

Oh man I miss old shows. Nickelodeon used to rule, now its full of complete crap for shows.

DOUG needs to make a comeback. Such an incredible cartoon series!

[ZombiesAteMyDog]

alf was my hero in the 80's , I remember I had a stuffed alf doll that sat on my bed at all times, alf was my boy :lol:

Cartoons are great, but no one mentioned one of the funniest cartoon of all time. A Merrie Melodies Bugs Bunny episode with "Pete Puma" titled "Rabbits Kin." Now if you cant remember it click on this link below. FYI he is the funny mountain Lion with the dumb laugh who keeps getting out smarted by B.B.

That little bunny is cracked out! He's a fast talker!

[Simply Pimpalicious]

First off, not to pick on the OP, but when a twenty year old refers to something as "back in the day", it makes me feel old. :cry:

I think I was about eight years old before I knew it was called, or referred to Saturday as Saturday. Up until then it was always Cartoon Day.

YUCK! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Several weeks ago, my friends and I were discussing old cartoons and I brought this one up but couldn't remember the name. They all looked at me like I was crazy. :loon: Ha! I'll show 'em now.

But yeah, Saturday mornings, I was glued to the TV with a bowl of cereal in my lap until Soul Train came on at eleven, then it was outside to play and act out all the stuff I'd seen that morning with my friends.

Some of my favorites
Super Friends
Capt Caveman
Thundarr the Barbarian
Fantastic Four
Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends
Clue Club
Fang Face
Godzilla Power Hour
Plastic Man
Alvin & the Chipmunks
Land of the Lost (not a cartoon, but still a Sat. morning staple)
Great Space Coaster
Masters of the Universe
Transformers
Richie Rich
Inspector Gadget
Silver Hawks
Voltron
Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors
Scooby Doo
Centurions
M.A.S.K.
Pac-Man
Pink Panther...

...and I'm sure there's more I just can't remember in my old age.

Actually, Alf did have a short lived animated series, although it wasn't as good as the live action show.

[HEDSHOT45]

Not all cartoons but I loved,

You Cant Do That On Television
PeeWee's Playhouse

He-Man
The Littles
Duck Tails

[Barbara]

[UseYourHeadCutOffTheirs]

WOW! The Tick was AWESOME! I forgot about that one too! See how they all start flowing back when everyone starts naming off old favorites?


I forgot about Inspector Gadget too! And I do remember Land of the Lost. I liked that show. That was way back when I had my first TV in my room. My parents didn't have cable hooked up in my room so I only had 2 channels and they were PBS and NBC. Atleast I think it was NBC that showed all the cartoons. I just remember it being channel 7. It was the best, because of Saturday morning cartoons and then there was TGIFridays!

[ERiKDude]

There was also

Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
Space Goofs
Tales From the Cryptkeeper
Johnny Bravo (yeah, i actually liked it)
The Adventures of Tintin
Darkwing Duck
Bobby's World
Rocko's Modern Life
Tailspin
....The Magic Schoolbus....

and Samurai Jack was awesome!

[zombiekilling101]

I hated the magic school bus.. yet i still watched it:loon:

[ERiKDude]

I know what you mean, personally i think they just brainwash children into watching it....it's a conspiracy

[mil-collector]

cant forget M.A.S.K.

and i have to agree with simply pimp... most of the cartoons so far listed as "back in the day" are still currently running on tv? i'm thinking more late 70's-early 80's, am i wrong? or am i showing my age remembering black and white cartoons? :)

[zombiekilling101]

well I was a 90's kid.. so those were back in my day.:)

[mil-collector]

i feel old now. my saturday morning-get-up-to-watch-cartoons era was from '78-'84. Mister Megoo, Underdog, (who can forget Tennessee tuxedo and chumly?) Dudly Do-right, astroboy, new cartoons came out and i started to lloose interest: Gummy Bears, Shirt-tales, Pound puppies.

Don't feel old. My back in the day for cartoons started in the late sixties. I do remember Mister Magoo and Underdog though.

I watched Land of the Lost too, but it wasn't a cartoon. Included in my favorite shows was The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, Gilligan's Island, The Munsters and The Adams Family. I think that should age me.

I hope I made you feel better! :lol: Boy, am I feeling old now!!!

[mil-collector]

Hol% S*&$ !!! and the legal eagle! :) i miss having johnny quest on the air, but the venture brothers cracks me up bad. it's a decent parody at least. :)

thanks, not feeling so old now zombreach. :)

since we're talking cartoons from back in the day, does anyone remember this one? there was an episode of woody woodpecker, that was in black white and green. it was a warning on the dangers of mystery medicine ( drugs back in the day). whole thiong was black and white, until he drank from a bottle of ? meds? he found. he then turned green, and had super strength and speed ...for a while, then he'd crash and slop along in the gutters. i recall one scene clearly, he takes a slug from the bottle, and goes to open a window, and lifts the whole brick-face of the building..... can't find it on youtube or anything.... anyone seen it?

edit to add: nevermind, found it "under the counter spy"

[Zombreach]

I remember that one..but only vaguely. Remember, I am the old one! Memory is the first thing to go. :lol:


Anyone remember the two crows, Heckle and Jeckle? I think they were in black and white. Always after the corn!!

[mil-collector]

yup....and a few years later, two chipmunks came along using identical banter...

they don't make cartoons like they used to anymore. the old black and white popeye cartoons were nothing more than fights :) i miss those.....back to youtube...

[C J]

Let's not forget about Muttley!

I remember a show that was called pizza cats. 90's. That show was the :poo:

[skelington]

Anyone remember Cartoon Express? It had a little of everything on it. I used to love back in the day when Nick would play The Muppet Show, Count Duckula, Danger Mouse and Banana Man right befor Nick at Night good times good times. For new shows I really like Transformers Animated, the Stormhawks and That new spiderman show. If only the WB would get around to fixing the sound so it doesn't keep dropping in and out all the time.

[Cornflakes]

I used to love banana man "When Eric ate a banana he became bananaman."
I grew up with alot of repeats as my brother was 7 years older than me and my sister is 5. So what they wanted to watch I had to sit through, not that I'm complaining.

I mostly watched spiderman, x-men, thundercats, Jem (well she was truly outrageous!) Though I was addicted to The Family Ness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxjqMZd-BVE and the mr men. Did anyone ever watch nelly the Elephant? All I remenber was loving the intro song.

[Zombreach]

From truly back in the day...how many of you remember:

Underdog
Atom Ant
Flintstones
H. R. Pufnstuf
Jetsons
Tom & Jerry Show
Pink Panther
Scooby Doo
Land of the Lost

These were some of my regulars in the 70's.

[Zombie_215]

Thundarr The Barbarian
Thundercats
Transformers
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
Ronin Warriors
Mighty Mouse
Johnny Quest

[mil-collector]

paw paw bears.....

[Crickler]

I remember a show that was called pizza cats. 90's. That show was the :poo:

Samurai Pizza Cats! That show kicked arse!
I used to have a cd with loads of cartoon theme songs, everything was on there, Thundercats, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, He-man, Captain Planet, Defenders of the Earth plus loads more I can't remember.

On a side note, one of my favourite cartoons of the past few years is Harvey Birdman:AAL largely because of the way they use all the classic characters and cartoons.

Those are some good ones mentioned. Land of the lost that was kind of trippy.
About Scooby-Doo did anyone here watch the movie? There is a scene that implies that Shaggy and Scooby's smoke Bud. Supposedly, the cartoon implies it because they are always hungry. Gotta love the undertones.

I usually just remember the fart jokes in that movie. :lol:

I loved the old Scooby Doo cartoons, especially the ones with celebrity guest appearences from people popular in their time (like Don Knots, The 3 Stooges and my favorite, the Harlem Globetrotters). It would be cool if they brought that thing back to the current Scooby Doo cartoons, if they still have them. Do they still make Scooby Doo?
