Saturday Morning Embarassments (younger members?)

[Quatermass]

Okay, so, children of the eighties and nineties, are there any Saturday morning embrass-...ahem, cartoons that you've come back to later and thought, how the hell did I like this?

Well, recently, coming back to the Transformers franchise, the old G1 cartoons, I thought, how the hell did I ever enjoy this crap? It makes even the worst of Doctor Who look like Shakespeare.

Got a full set of Battle of the Planets carttons and couldn't believe how awful it was. Pure crap. On the other hand watched some of The Mysterious Cities of Gold and it was as great as i remembered.

 

[Tonyblack]

To be fair, Battle of the Planets was a bit of a hatchet job of an original Japanese series. They cut out all sorts of profanity and graphic violence and added that stupid R2 D2 wannabe robot to fill in the gaps.

 

[pip]

Yep. but i remember enjoying it all the same. Was also offered a copy of Jayce and His Wheeled Warriors recently but im'm wary as i enjoyed it as well

Dungeons and Dragons. Still rocks, I have the box set Watch an epsiode of a saturday morning (has to be a saturday morning, mind), whilst eating my cereal, still in my dressing gown.

Love dungeons and dragons but its upsetting that it was never finished. Cut off so cruelly

Tried Ren and Stimpy again recently. Grosser and less funny than I remember. I'm getting old!

I loved Ulysses 31!

What about Around the World With Willy Fog? Talk about an annoying theme tune.

 

[pip]

Bloody annoying show too. They had to change his name because they thought children couldn't handle Phileas

I used to love the Raccoons, me and a friend had an ongoing story we would write and Cryil Sneer was the baddie, we named our hero Sephals Snake. This was in 1996, we were 12.

I used to love going to the Saturday Morning Pictures at the local cinema, watching such classics as "The Lone Ranger", "Flash Gordon", etc. The atmosphere was great with us kids cheering and stamping our feet.
