    See Sven's list, add good ole Earthworm Jim, the Transformers, and oh, of course, the Tick. Mmmmmm Tick...
    Although the Super Mario Bros Super Show was ****e. I knew that back then, too. But still, you had to watch it if you had a NES. It was the law.

    does anyone remember that australian show called "the girl from tomorrow"? that was deadly. and she was from the future (hence the title) and there was an evil guy called silverthorn and they had a really cool timemachine but the second series got really weird then because they were drones and stuff and they all had to exchange protein strand thingies and...it was weird anyway. freaked the fupp outta me, so it did.

    also that thing...spellbinders! that was another one of those australian happy drama things. they were all really cool. i've said "thing" way too many times in this post...

    Aye. Remember that show.

    Anyone remember this weird show that was on the BBC. Kinda horrorish... kinda drama. They'd have two possible endings every show and people would vote in what they wanted and that would be the start of the next.. or I think that's what happened. Very vague memory. All I remember was it involved some kinda cult, masks, magic, and was fecking freaky at times!

    No, Babar was THE elephant. Respect.:cool:

    'twasnt a cartoon, but Art Attack owned.

    Reboot ROCKED. Cause it was all CGI.

    I had a MAJOR disagreement with Bosco, as many of you know.

    MORF!!!!!!!C'mon, that was ther GOD of cartoons.

    Wallace & Gromit, even if it doesnt really apply......

    Am I wrong to still watch these?

    in the states they still run it on some remote cable station at like half three in the morning or something.....ha.....not exactly prime viewing. but no one can resist Babar. he's just so......Babarish. i even had a deck of Babar playing cards-wait- i still have it somewhere in my house. It had its own set of rules and my brother and I became experts in it...but my family was the only one who had ever heard of the game. (*sniffsniff* scarred for life...:p) But, yes, BABAR ROCKS.
    (and so did that little old lady on the show.....what was her name? i never figured out where she came from - she was just sort of there with all of these elephants.)

    does anyone remember a cartoon with a dog, and a group of kids. one of them had a flying skateboard. and there was a king who slept on about eighty mattresses (like that princess in that fairytale).....and they had to go into his dreams or something, to save him from the evil dude.....

    i've been trying to remember what it's called for years.....
