Paranoid Android Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Time for a bit of nostalgia What were you watching when you were a wee nipper?My favourite show was always I bought it on dvd a few years ago and it's still ace For so long I didn't realise that was a play on words. I thought it was the character's name in the original story too I spent a couple of years obsessed with Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles I don't really remember anything that happened in this show, but I did like it a lot. It's possible I liked the intro credits of this more than the actual show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL, TURTLE POWER! I was given a TMNT 7" not that long ago which I thought had the cartoon theme tune on it. Gutted to find that it turned out to be one of the songs from the film series.

Soda Jerk Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Does anyone remember Pro-Stars? I'm starting to believe I'm making it up, because no one remembers it. It was three sportsmen who went about fighting crime. Pretty sure it was Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Bo Jackson. They'd use their sports gear as weapons to take down bad guys, like a hockey stick that shot out a puck like a bullet, and an exploding smoke screen basketball. If the bad guy was running away on foot, Bo would say "go long!" and he'd hail mary the ball and put it right on the head of the baddie. Taken down. Immense. Bo had the versatility of using Baseball gear too, as he played both games. A bit of a cheap cop out, I guess. Gretzky was the comic relief. Probably insinuating all those knocks on the head have made him a bit dim, and all he ever wanted was a sandwich.It was ace anyway, and I always thought they should have done an English version of it, perhaps starring Graham Gooch, Chris Sutton and Keith Senior.

A cartoon all about a football team who solved crimes or saved the environment, something like that? There was a South American player who played in his bare feet. Don't remember much else.EDIT: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 MASKHe-ManSupertedI loved these as well. I once had He-man wallpaper in my bedroom!I liked Hurricanes despite not wanting to like it because it was on citv and I'd decided (quite rightly) that cbbc was much better. I wouldn't rank it among the classics though.completely forgot about Dogtanian' date=' though it looks terrible now![/quote']Wrong!! It looks ace! I don't think I ever watched thundercats, I missed out on that one.Another I remember liking is . Anyone remember it?Did no one else watch visionaries?

captain burrito Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I remember Centurions, pretty sure I had some knock-off toys based on the characters.Others I'm recalling:Voltron [apparently in production as a live action film]Go-BotsDino Riders [awesome toys! Massive dinosaurs with guns!]The Pirates of the Dark WaterI'm pretty sure the flying thing was an inspiration for Jar-Jar Binks. The supposed comic relief pissed me off as a kid.StarComUlysses 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 This? Because that would maybe be even better!I wish! The song on mine is called "Turtle Power" by a group calling themselves "Partners In Kryme" (I kid you not!) and the b-sides are Splinter's Tale 1 and Splinter's Tale 2. I've just had a wee hunt and if anyone is mad keen on picking up a copy:7" single Partners In Kryme Turtle Power on eBay (end time 12-Oct-10 22:19:56 BST)YAS.

Oedo 808 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Does anyone remember Pro-Stars?I remember it. That's not the theme I remember.I'd totally forgotten about Centurions. Like a lot of these things (Transformers, MASK) the coolest bit was when they transformed. One thing that annoyed me about Centurions was I could never keep track of all the different variations to their suits and I often couldn't figure out the logic to which suit they picked to wear. Also, their suits looked shit without the extra bits on them. A few of my favourites were:Count DuckulaGhostbustersDuck TalesLooney Tunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I hated The Raccoons, I couldn't see the point in a cartoon being on that wasn't funny and kept trying to teach me things. It made me angry.I watched it every Saturday without fail despite my hatred for it. I remember finding it really depressing even when I was about 6 years old; the whole thing just seemed so slow and sad, I'd love to watch it now to see if it really was as bleak as I remember. My old boss totally looked like Cyril Sneer though, that was a great realisation.I liked Top CatJohnny BravoPinky and the BrainCatDogWacky RacesScooby Doo (Minus that moron, Scrappy.

I vividly remember the dog slobbering until the bowl filled up, drinking it, and slobbering again, repeatedly. Foul. Great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
