Loved that cartoon... they drove around in a funeral car..

Raggy Dolls, Beverley Hills Teens, Cockle shell bay, Puddle Lane, The Smoggies, Care bears, Rainbow Bright and Button Moon were all great 2!

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.

Just after checking unfourtantly it isn't thanks though.
Also it was kinda more 3-D kinda style to it. Rather than the typical drawn cartoon

Aaah Dinoriders, I remember watching the cartoon but it
not being on much on Irish telly.

I remember getting a totally boring book voucher one christmas from my grandfather and it just so happened the book store also stocked a few toys which included normally
expensive dino rider toys and I managed to get myself one of these:

I used to love both these cartoons.:)

shockframe

Not sure if it has been mentioned before but I watched Wait Till Your Father Gets Home recently.An Adult American comedy from the 1970s with Tom Bosley as voice of the main character.One of the blueprints for the simpsons.

Well worth watching.

JohnMarston

Everyone has to watch Batman:The animated series.

There's something to be said for how dark that cartoon was at times. I have volume 1,2 and 3 of the dvds for it. Still love to pop it in now and again

It also has the best intro for a cartoon. ever. followed closely by the late 80s teenage mutant ninja turtles intro
