I was crazy about the stuffed animals of the Shirt Tails. Didn't they start out as McDonald's toys? I can't remember but I think there was a connection.

Another memory that is vage, I kept thinking that when they went somewhat main stream, when you bought one of the 'Shirt Tails' you got a T-shirt with it.... I could be wrong about that...

If I had the money, I would have two shrins... one for Tron and another for everything 80's... I miss my childhood..

Qix77 Wrote:Ahh... Another great diseny toon with Launch Pad. Wasn't there other connections with Duck Tails? I liked that one too. Oh... and I loved Tail Spin.

Holy mackerel. I can't believe that I completely forgot about TaleSpin when I'm such an airplane freak! Thanks for the reminder.

Here we go:

ShirtTails! I thought I was the only one here who would even admit _knowing_ that show, let alone liking it. However, I should've known better. I mean, hey. It's THIS crowd.

Don't remember the Droids one (like, at all, including its _existence_) but do vaguely remember the Ewoks cartoon. I either watched a couple episodes all the way through or kept catching bits of it while channel-surfing...one of those.

Pole Position!--I liked the _game_, and I was totally into all the OTHER Atari-era videogame based cartoons...why didn't I even hear of this one...?
Dig the circuit-boardy patterns on the sides of the walls. Dude, I thought that in the game's universe, you were supposed to be OUTside, not actually _in_ a game. Do their cars make right-angle turns?

Gummi Bears I never really got into...I have no idea why my brain says "eeeww, too cutesy" to Gummi Bears and Care Bears and yet I DO watch Rainbow Brite and My Little Pony. Go figure. Maybe I just have some subconscious thing against bears?

DARKWING DUCK! WHOOO!! Okay, you guys. You did NOT want to unleash that side of me onto this board. Oh no you didn't. Sistah. BWAHAHAA!! Um, let's just say that I made a DuckTales page because there weren't very many of them and I'd rather add something useful to the web than be a copycat, but I am way, way more INTO Darkwing. That's the one that made me act really FANNISH, ya know, tons of artwork, a fanfic or two, lots of random scenes and ideas, theories...
The reason I didn't mention DW myself when we were talking about DuckTales is because this is about '80s cartoons and that started in 1991. But since this seems to have turned into Retro-Nostalgia in General...some more early '90s goodness!

--The Dragon's Lair cartoon reminded me of the Dragon _Warrior_ anime. I only saw a bit of it, but would love to see it again. Cheesy, but I'm addicted to those games.
The episodes were even named "Level" so-and-so, like showing how much progress had been made through the quest. The only serial show made of an RPG that I'm aware of at the moment, and it rocked.

And...

The BACK TO THE FUTURE cartoon! It was cheesy but I know I don't have to apologise around _you_ guys. I loved this one. Woke up every Saturday to watch it, religiously. I think it was also from around 1991, same as the other two shows. This is the only place that Jules and Verne get actual lines and personalities, we get to see Clara adjusting to modern (and other!) times, meet _her_ parents, Jennifer actually gets to come along on the adventures and have something to _do_, we see Doc as a little kid, the _distant_ future, an alternate modern day where briefcase-toting, car-driving dinosaurs rule the Earth, and a hilarious Christmas Carol parody--among other things! And they can visit times that might have been problematical, budget-wise, in a live-action movie.

And, of course, the one and only Christopher Lloyd introducing each show. Not to mention some good voice actors.
So THAT'S why to watch that show. Get it? Got it? Good.

(If anybody can find the intros to the Dragon Warrior cartoon or Back to the Future, feel free to post them...I don't know how to find that kind of stuff.)

Ah yes Back to The Future was one of my favorites, mostly because at the end of each show they would have a five minute science clip with the Doc. on it.

Ooo.. I remember that one science show with the guy in the Rat Suit! What was that called? I watched it like crazy :P.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Pulsewoman WroteHow do you make links clickable here, by the way? I can't see any instructions anywhere....

Wit the help of our friend BBCode, my good Pulsewoman. Just encapsulate the url text in these tags---->

Oh man, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends! That was such a cool cartoon!

Hey, remember when they thought back on how they had helped out Tony Stark, and it turned out that he repaid them by outfitting their apartment with all of the computer equipment they had? Awesome stuff!

But as much of a Marvel Zombie as I am, and as much of a favorite that Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends was, I must not forget my first favorite superhero cartoon:

Supercade...whoo! I knew that if anybody could find that, it'd be you guys. I remember watching that, but my interest level depended on the individual segment...I didn't have much time for Donkey Kong Jr. for example. And to this day I still can't figure out what was my weird fascination with Q*Bert...(I also didn't remember the '50s style clothes and whatnot with that cartoon.)
Incidentally, there was a (brief) Pitfall segment in that really long TRON-based "Addventure" thread that I wrote long ago. I had fun writing what _that_ would feel like from "the other side of the screen". Heh.

*I even had the _board game_ of that! My mom got it to cheer me up when I was in the hospital for a while as a little kid, and I remember trying to play it with an IV in one hand. (And, because they were idiots who didn't LISTEN to me in time, it was in the _wrong_ hand--the left one.) :P
We also had the D&D cartoon board game. Boy, wouldn't those be collector's items now!

Weird to see Mario relatively tall and skinny like that, compared to what his look normally is...

Shirttails: I forgot to mention, my favourite characters were the mole and the panda, and I _might_ have had one of them as a stuffed animal. My brother had the monkey, I'm pretty sure. He had a thing for monkeys/apes when he was a little kid. (As well as the planet Saturn. How many 2 year olds have a favourite _planet_?! Other than Earth, of course.)

As for links, I figured that out a while back and I now use HTML 'cos I like it better than BBcode, but thanks anyway.

I must've seen more Superfriends than I _thought_ I did, 'cos all three theme songs were at least a smidge familiar to me. I think I remember the version with the Indian guy best, but I also vaguely remember Wonderdog and the Wondertwins.

Anybody remember this one show...I think it might've been a Hanna Barbera one, maybe with Space Ghost (I'm not sure...it was part of one of those many-different-cartoon-shorts-in-one-program things, so I may be mixing two or more different series together by accident) that had like these three teenagers with special powers, and they went through space (without any space suits) on rocket-bike type things? I remember the girl was named "Electra" and she had red hair, a spiky crown thingie, a silver-white suit and telepathic powers, including the ability to project illusions, which I thought was pretty cool at the time.

Other bits I remember include: One where one of the kids is replaced by a bad guy in disguise or something and he's found out when he says he likes pizza toppings that the real guy hates, or something like that...
--They get trapped in a cage that's crushing them with heavy gravity, and one of the guys rather snarkily says, "Well, Electra, there goes your diet!" :P
--They make it out of a blowing up bad guy lair BARELY in the nick of time, and Space Ghost says they shouldn't freak out because "Nonsense, we got out of there with _easily_ four seconds to spare!"
--And an argument between the two twins where the boy is saying how he knows more than the girl because he's "older". "What 'older', we're twins! We're two minutes apart!" "Oh, yeah? Well, a guy can learn a LOT in two minutes!"

...isn't it amazing what random crap your brain chooses to hold onto over the years? Anyway... :P

The New Adventure of Johnny Quest were awesome too; I remember Johnny went inside a microchip, with all of the CGI and stuff. Man, I miss the '90s.

I'll readily admit that there were some great cartoons created in the 90's, but nowhere near the number of great cartoons created in either the 70's or 80's.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online
