I used to watch all sorts of shows on Nick Jr., before it started sucking. Like Sharon, Lois, and Bram’s Elephant Show, The Lil’ Bits, and David the Gnome… ooh! And Eureka’s Castle! That show fucking ROCKED. Why don’t cool things like THAT exist anymore?
There was a brief discussion about Babar in the chat yesterday. Babar kicked ass, too.
I also watched all those Mario cartoons, and Captain N. But despite all its goodness, Captain N always pissed me off because they portrayed Simon fucking Belmont as this fucking WUSS. URGH. You can’t slay vampires and then be afraid of fucking EVERYTHING. GOD. >O
And I used to watch the old 60’s Batman series when I was a kid for some reason. I LOVED that show back in the day. In kindergarten, I used to run around with these two boys during recess, playing Batman. This kid Tyler was Batman, Josh was Robin, and I of course was Batgirl. And we kicked imaginary crime in the nuts! But one day, Tyler like, fell down or something and got hurt, so he had to go inside and get ice or whatever, so Josh was all like “YAY NOW WE CAN PLAY JAMES BOND JR.!” at which point I went to go play on the swings cuz I thought James Bond Jr. was fucking stupid. Does anyone else even REMEMBER that cartoon? I only do because of that incident.
OH YEAH! And after school, I’d always watch this block of programming called Disney Afternoon… they shifted the lineup from year to year, but my favorite was always the orignal: Gummi Bears, Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, and Tail Spin. Ohhh yeahhhh.
Tail Spin sucks, and I always hated it, always. even though I watched it all the time. I only watched it because I hated it so much. if that makes any sense.
Hehe, yeah I don’t remember liking Tail Spin much, but I always watched it anyways.
AND! I had this cassette of like, a whole bunch of songs from each of those shows, and I used to like, listen to it a sing to it ALLLLL the time, until I recorded over parts of it, thinking it was the pause button…
I used to listen to Raffi too, when I was REAL little. “Baby baluuuuuga oh baaaaaaaaby baluuuuuuuga…”
SABER RIDER AND THE STAR SHERRIFS!!!
Yes, I finally remembered what that anime is called It’s currently making a huge comeback in Germany.
Also, Mila Superstar (a really cute anime about a girl volleyball team), Maja the bee, Heidi. Enough for the anime. Now, the cartoons:
Pirates of dark water, Bucky O’hare, fraggles, my little ponies, gummi bears, ahh real monsters. Used to watch them every day or every Saturday when waking up before the sun rose seemed like a great idea ^^.
