    Think we need more than 100.
    You put Skeleton Warriors but not Battletech?:eek:
    Galaxy High but no Gravedale High?

    Is that show with the dinosaur characters with stationary (as in office) type abilities in there?
    What about the one with the 2 kids and the dying underground civilisation, and those two quirky things that had their special dance...
    Then the one with the kid and the bug friends against the evil magician with the magic camera thing he used to make evil bug things...
    The robot one with the 3D scenes, main character was ZZ (or ZeeZee), he'd built them himself to play with but now they were fighting the evil corporation who stole his robot plans.

    God I feel old and senile.... and nostalgic as heck reading that list... remember watching most of them.
    Damn my senility and failing to remember the names of these shows!!!!

    Hi All, If someone can solve this riddle for me I will be forever in your gratitude. Love this forum. Just stumbled across it. What the hell was the cartoon that used to be on in the 80s i am nearly sure (I am 30 now)
    All i can remember in every episode is that either the opening or closing used to feature like a character playing a fiddle sitting under a tree i think and I can remeber a fox or something similar coming down from the tree and jumping down on the guys shoulder or something. Tell me I didnt dream this up. I am certain this was a cartoon and the character playing the fiddle was like a kind of character from robin hood that lived in a forrest. Again my memory is vague on this.

    If you can answer this you are a genius!!

    Thanks in advance.

    What was that cartoon with the really snarky cat... I only vaguely remember it, but I seem to remember it involving weird large creatures, maybe shaped like houses or something, I'm thinking of clouds as well for some reason...

    Oh and there might have been some kid of massive clock...

    EDIT: I misspelled clock the first time :eek:
