OK for some reason I've been seeing the thundercats in my head all day long today so I figured I'd ask:

 What was your favorite tv show or cartoon ever?




I'll put Thundercats as one of mine ;) oh & and the brady bunch.


Have fun reminiscing!

Mine don't go very far back, so I don't have to reminisce that much ...

My favourite cartoon: Spongebob Squarepants. I'm an adult but I could watch it all day long.

Non-cartoon TV show: It's a tie between the US version of Queer as Folk and Angel.

Mine is
(1)Ghosthunters
(2)Ghosthunters International

Real People whao are looking for Ghosts

0K I forgot I said ever 1titter . I have to change mine to Angel as well ...I can't get enough of that one.

I can't decide :confused:

It's a tie between Fraggle Rock and the Snorks 1rock

It used to be Courage the Cowardly Dog  ;D
But I love way too many TV shows, especially ones from my childhood

I think right now my favorite show is either Torchwood or Doctor Who

I used to be obsessed with Power Puff Girls..

Invader Zim is awesome, too. But I own the dvds so its not so much a TV show thing..

Dude, Rocco's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats, all those good shows from when I was a kid.. I'm 17, by the way. Can anyone relate?

I think we can all relate to being 17 once...  2laugh  I love Dr. who too!

I meant the TV shows now being 17... n_n;;;

yu yu hakusho is my favorite.(when the 3rd kid comes along -Hiei boy or girl)...Inuyasha (daughter's name is Rin)...i liked yu-gi-oh enough that my son's name is Kaiba. Yeah, i wasn't very creative.

Poor kids..

1giggle kiranekochan

lolkiranekochan. I can't even abide by the thought of naming my hypothetical kid Sylus.

Does anyone remember Gargoyles? Awesome stuff. And hell, I've got the first three seasons of Buffy on DVD.

I remember Gargoyles. That was released during my 20's. I also remember Thundercats.

What about the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon?

oh I adored Dungeons & Dragons - although I was getting a little long in the tooth for cartoons by that stage!!

My favourite ever cartoon as a kid was G-Force otherwise known as Battle of the Planets - the one where they had the ship that could turn into a firey phoenix. I used to get up early in a school holiday so I could watch it!

and as a very young kidlet I loved Mister Men, Paddington Bear, Mr Benn, Bagpuss, Andy Pandy, Thunderbirds, and The Clangers

then getting slightly older there was Chorlton & the Wheelies, Danger Mouse, Scooby Doo, Captain Caveman, Count Duckula, G-Force (as mentioned above), The Famous Five, Into the Labyrinth, Fantastic Four, Rent-a-ghost, Supergran

Then, as a teen but still watching kids programmes there was Thundercats, Fraggle Rock, Mask

and of course through all the ages there's the classics like Daffy Duck, Road Runner, Bugs Bunny etc

so yeah, OK, I used to watch a lot of TV!

Danger Mouse and Captain Caveman! Woo!

Grape Ape, anyone?

lol Imitates gruff voice : *grapeape!* Wow I just barely remember that one.  Thanks to you too Ali...you know I dont think I knew that G-Force and Battle for the planets were one in the same but I watched them too.  but oh the fiery phoenix! I do remember that.   

I think in my area they aired cartoons way older then my generation (I still liked them) because I remember seeing Felix-the-cat (a way oldie I think), Magilla Gorilla, Mighty mouse & Underdog during my tiny tot years.

*scoots off to watch boomerang*

Magilla Gorilla! LOL Oh my the memories.

Oh, now I'm remembering Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Oggie Doggy and Doggy Daddy...

OMG ... grape ape ... wow, dredging up some old memories here!

and Huckleberry Hound - he was so cute

and the Oggy family ... yeah, they were really good!

I quite the Angry Beavers too, although that's a modern one

Yogi Bear - now there's one I loved, and still do!

Awww.. huckleberry hound and his ole pal droopalong (was he a dog too? I can't remember, lol)

What was the cartoon that had Dick Dastardly, mutly (his dog) & penelope pitstop?  I'm in full on memory-lane mode now, 1giggle

Ohh and hey, hey boo-boo! Poor Yogi just couldn't pass up those Pic-a-nic baskets 2laugh wow, good times.  I hear they're making a Yogi bear movie.   I forgot the ranger's name...hmm anyone remember?

I had to think for a bit because they were in a few different shows. Dick Dastardly and Mutley were in Wacky Races, and so was Penelepe Pitstop. Then, Dastardly and Mutley were in Dastardly & Mutley in Their Flying Machines (or something like that), and Penelope Pitstop was in The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.

OK...brain hurts now...must go lie down.

i think it was Ranger Smith...idk....

i mostly watch VH1 Classic these days, along with:
MythBusters
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation...even though not as much anymore. it's not the same without Grissom :'(
House
Man vs. Food
Dirty Jobs
The Simpsons
King of the Hill
and whatever's on the Boomerang channel

heck, i remember when Scooby Doo was popular among my friends, everyone liked either Shaggy, Scooby, Fred, or Daphne. don't get me wrong, i did like Shaggy and Scooby, but i felt i was the only one who really liked Velma. in my opinon, she's a very underrated character on that show...

Isn't it Ranger Bill? lol

Hi caffeinated.joy

My dad was in the army so I got to go everywhere.

Heres one to make you brain hurt. I watched  Dick Dastardly, Mutley and Penelepe Pitstop in the Wacky Races, and Dastardly and Mutley were in Dastardly & Mutley in Their Flying Machines in Japanese. the were no cartoons Arm Forces TV in English durring the week so we watched them on on japanese tv stations

Mutley is still one of my all time favorites.

I also watch the lift off Apollo 11 and the landing on the moon live in Japan, in one room the US Adults were watching on Arm Forces TV in English, and in the other Japanese Self Defense force guys were watch in Japanese.

Makes caffeinated.joy a pot of french press coffee, puts out half and half and sugar, and hands her a bottle of Tylenol.

LMAO...you are aptly named, brat. ;)

lmfao

 Hmmm,
          So many greats, so little time. I guess, for me, it's an even split between The Pirates of Darkwater and the Smurfs.  Does anyone else remember the PacMan cartoon? Or am I just aging myself?
 2hug

Hey caffeinated.joy and Squinge

Heres on to blow your mind try to imagine the old Popeye the Sailor, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck all in Japanese. Those were the cartoons

Now wrap your brain around Bonanza, Mavrick, The Mick Mouse club and Star Trek the original tv series in Japanese. 

Maybe that why I warped.

P.S. caffeinated.joy I also liked Danger Mouse but I saw that when I was in Tech school in the 1988.

Wow, I remembered some of the names from the old cartoons I used to watch in the 70s and 80s as well as some of my favorite all-time shows.

Battle of the Planets was definitely a "Must See" show when I got home from school in time to watch it, and their ecological messages were pretty cool to watch at the end of the show.

Classic Cartoons:

Tom and Jerry
Bugs Bunny (and Looney Tunes - Donald Duck, Road Runner and others - not going to name them all)
Scooby Doo
Underdog
Animaniacs (Helloooo Nurse!)
Popeye the Sailor (Actually visited the original town where Popeye was created at - Chester, IL)

Classic Shows:

The Bionic Woman
Duke Hazzard (I think Duke of the Hazzards but it's the General Lee car I liked the best :P )
Wonder Woman
Disney specials on Sunday nights (Chicago area)
The Knight Rider (KITT was the coolest car I've seen and wanted to have but no :P )
MacGyver


But I didn't watch a lot of tv as a kid and as a teen because I was very active then to stay inside. On rainy days, yeah it was tough.

Wow! How could I leave out Saturday nights with jim henson?

The Muppet Show of course! Oh and sesame street back when it was engaging 1giggle.

Max Headroom
Automan
Square pegs...


True Chaavik that was back when tv wasn't cooler then bicycles so I only caught episodes once in a while.  Except the Muppet Show--I was faithful with that one.

Muppet Show and Smurfs were/still are my favorites as well. So is Thundercats, Alf, Peanuts, Garfield and especially Jayce & the Wheeled Warriors. I love it's theme song. :) 

Also, McGyver, The Sentinel, Star Trek, Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder and Hart to Hart 2heart.   

Highlander was pretty cool then.

Star Trek: The Next Generation was, by far, my most favorite sci fi series when I got hooked to it. Heh!

Classic Sci-Fi:

Dr. Who (the original series from the 70s)

The series have changed over the years with different actors taking on the lead role of Dr. Who, but none were better than the series in the 70s in my opinion. I have seen the latest episodes and felt the latest series lacked any real plot or element of surprise imo.

Mystery/Murder/Detective:

Murder She Wrote
Heat In The Night (Carol O'Connor and son)
Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan)
Moonlighting (Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard)

Action:

The A-Team (Mr. T)

Favorite Commercials:

Hardee's - Where's the Beef?! *done by the old lady whose name wasn't given*
Oscar Mayer - jingle from the 70s

LOL..."Where's the beef?" was Wendy's ;)

Awwww man, don't even get me started on commercial jingles... I just finished telling my cousin that I believe there are several companies out there who owe me residual payments for all of my wasted mindspace crammed with jingles! 1pfft


I still have the bandaids one and b-o-l-o g-n-a of course stuck to my skull.   I blame Aretha Franklin. 1giggle


Anyhoo...   Dr. Who- 70's versions (who knew special effects would be the downfall of good plot lines?) although I do settle for later versions.

                 I loved Jayce too, and rescue rangers. The Bowery boys...(via reruns). However did I find the time? 1titter

When I was 4 or 5 I loved watching Alf. Now it's either House or CSI: New York

Was her name Clara Pellar? <--Whoa!! What an ocean of useless infomation swimming around up there... 2wait 1worry

man dec12741 our minds think alike.
my top 5 are:
1. Ghosthunters
2. WWE Monday Night RAW
3. COPS
4. Beach patrol/Ocean Force (they renamed the series after a breif hiatus)
5. Haulin House.
 :cool:

  2heart "I Love Lucy" 2heart and  "The Flintstones" 1whistle"s the theme

*joins Hawnsimmer 1whistle


Sailor moon, I can't get the theme out of my head today 1titter,

Anyone remember a siries from England called "The Young One's"? It was on MTV.

Mine was and still is Sailor Moon obviously.I played it in my garden with my neighbour and he was a boy.lol.I didn't know they made it into manga first and PGSM until two years ago.I watched it to the end now as i couldn't afford it when young. Also Dragon Ball Z.But it's not over yet for me as my kids watch cartoons all day long so I'm watching cartoons all over again but that's ok,I don't think I'm the only mum doing this.Spongebob is so silly and funny.My boys got me hooked on Power rangers Mystic force and jungle fury and Ben 10 Alien too.

TV series has to be Friends.Oh i love these actors.They are funny.The simpsons too.
