Alright Baron, didn't think I'd have to do this but...

Dobey Gillis, Maynard G Krebs is cooler than cool

Just the fact that his name is Maynard and he goes by it shows how cool he is.

edit, you must be this cool to have the first name Maynard and go by it.

the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon
Eric needed a sword and a kick in the nads, Bobby needed to age about ten years, Uni needed to burn and die horribly, Venger needed to get his own talk show after the series came to an end, and everyone else was fine the way they were. :D

[Solario]

http://www.tvtome.com/images/shows/0/5/91-5310.jpg

You have any idea on how little a Six Million Dollars budget would be today? :D

And I know the majority of all these series, despite living in a country, where not a lot of these shows were shown.

I do however remember Knight Rider, Dungeon & Dragons Cartoon (That was awesome btw), Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (Why oh why won't they release this in a Region 2 DVD?!), The Six Million Dollar Man and a couple of others.

[Sebastian Kain]

Quantum Leap and I enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons

the movie was a let down

[Malibu Sally]

Eric needed a sword and a kick in the nads, Bobby needed to age about ten years, Uni needed to burn and die horribly, Venger needed to get his own talk show after the series came to an end, and everyone else was fine the way they were. :D

Dungeon Master needed to let those pesky kids suffer from their horrible choices instead of bailing them out of tight spots half the time.

But then death would ensue and the kids would have to reroll new characters....

oh yea./..

That's right, Race is one hot piece of man ass.

...Oh god, I've spent too much time at the Image boards. That damn Rick Remender and B Clay Moore.

[Malibu Sally]

Meh... the lack of any real violence in those cartoons makes them seem so silly now.

Thundarr the Barbarian(he who could only communicate by yelling at the top of his lungs) had that lightsaber like sword yet could only manage to cut holes in doors and walls.

Every time the G.I. Joe guys shot down a COBRA aircraft, the pilot was able to bail out.(they could hit a flimsy helicopter with a 10 megaton nuke and the pilot would manage to bail in time O_o )

The Transformers? They never got a scratch!

At least in the old days, Wile E. Coyote would fall off a cliff. Sure, he survived, but was mangled and twisted until the next scene. :p

[Akamaz]

inhumanoids... the best conceived, worst written cartoon... EVAR

oh and Centurions..

[The Widowed]

Inhumanoids was pretty cool. Those herds of wailing medieval skeletons kept me awake the night after I watched it. :o

So...Jem and the Holograms? :)

[Solario]

Centurions sucked so much. Mainly because when it was aired here in Denmark they decided to air it with swedish voice overs. :D

[Akamaz]

it was a great concept and good art, but the writing was pretty terrible...

St Elsewhere

[Solario]

Eerie. Man I loved that show as a kid, and I recently saw an episode and now I have to admit, I don't know what the hell I was thinking.

If anyone first picked that up now I'll be surprised. The prissy hair, the name "He-Man", the outfit, all stuff that just indicates he's trying just a little too hard to embody hypermasculinity.

[The Widowed]

Eerie. Man I loved that show as a kid, and I recently saw an episode and now I have to admit, I don't know what the hell I was thinking.
Which show? Dungeons and Dragons, Inhumanoids or Jem and the Holograms? :D

Well, since my two favorite detective shows were already named (Magnum PI and RipTide), how about Simon & Simon? Or Spencer for Hire? :)

Scarecrow and Mrs. King!

I think the point of this thread is blatantly out there. Reality shows can't hold a candle to these.

Man, I love Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Winnie The Pooh, Tale Spin, Duck Tales, Aladdin and all those early 90's/late 80's disney cartoons...

I honestly think I know all the themes in danish. I'm a bit rusty, but I remember most of them.

[Symbiote]

http://www.deco.franken.de/archie/cartoon.jpg

[Solario]

Wow I remember that Sonic cartoon. That was the second one though, wasn't it? The darker and more futuristic one, right?

[Mahaf]

Wait, what's the one about all the pirates in a fantasy world, where the darker pirate with the long hair would always go "Aye carumba!"? :think:

[Solario]

You need to be more specific, Mahaf? Are you talking about a disney cartoon, then it was probably Tale Spin with the aerial pirates.

You know... Now that I think back on the nummerous Disney cartoons I watched as a child, no wonder I like Pulp heroes so much, most of the disney cartoons were pulp heroes. Tale Spin was like an animal version of the G-8, while Darkwing Duck was a cartoon version of The Shadow and Duck Tales were using the explorer theme quite often at one point. Hell most of the adventures in Rescue Rangers were pulp'ish in nature.


It has come to my attention, that in the US they were all part of the "Disney Afternoon" series, that's still running. Along with some of my favorite later shows.

Hey! That was Esbat's line!

[Solario]

MacGyver pictures!

I was just talking about MacGyver a couple of nights ago! I got thinking about it because my friends and I during poker started to refer to a specific hand you're dealt, a 2 and a different colored 7, as a MacGyver, 'cause you'd need to pull something out of your ass like him, if you want to win with those cards.

[Mahaf]

You need to be more specific, Mahaf? Are you talking about a disney cartoon, then it was probably Tale Spin with the aerial pirates.
I found it! The Pirates of Dark Water was the name. :p It's a Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

And here's a picture from the series.. On the left is the fearless Ren, son of the king of Octopon, on his mission to recover the mystical Thirteen Treasures of Rule, scattered across the alien world of Mer, in order to stop the Dark Water, a tarlike, semi-sentient substance poisoning Mer's seas that swallows anything it touches! And on the right is Ioz, an ex-pirate who'll never turn down a chance to get his hands on gold or treasure. Aye carumba!
