Retro 90's TV Encyclopedia Thread

This is for all of you who lived your childhood, entered the midst of adulthood, and forgot all those marvellous retro cartoons you used to watch

The objective of this thread is to compile a list of as many 90's retro cartoons as possible. I'll start the list with a few, and other people can submit entries that will be discussed and either verified or rejected by other posters

Finally we will all vote on the *Best Ever Retro Cartoon* and feel all the better for it

I will be updating the list everytime it grows substantially... let's aim for at least 100! Here's my thoughts so far:

Ragidolls
Bananaman

Phew! Any other ideas guys? I bet this brings back a few memories

Don't worry, I didn't compile these just like that, it was a pub game I was playing with my mates... So, any other takers?

 

i've asked for transformers on dvd for christmas!

i don't think i'll get it though.

 

Half of these aren't cartoons!!

and you are missing Rude Dog And The Dweebs

 

Yeah, but some of them are so good you've got to give them God Status... I'll re-name the thread

 

*sniffs*

i smell someone with far too much time to compile that list, but i wouldn't be surprised if you had that saved on your PC

It has to be Teenage Mutant Turtles for the best, the only really craze i got caught up and i loved it (it's meant to be coming back you know)

I contest the inclusion of the Simpsons as a kids cartoon, it is so much more

ok you've changed the thread's point while i was mid-post so i contest its inclusion as retro when any one with sense will tell you know it's better than ever!

SHOW LOVE TO THE SIMPSONS!

 

Agreed... MCR's suggestion is going in, and the Simpsons is coming out

 

Ok any programs now

Best cartoon: Bucky O'Hare

Best Program: Aquila

 

I've got Transformers on DVD

Henry's Cat ruled. As did Roobarb and Custard.

Pigeon Street was also pretty awesome.

 

good executive decision there boss, the simpsons is the best show ever not some crappy retro show which we like cos we're students and it's kitsch (sp?)

SHOW LOVE TO THE SIMPSONS! (and MCR's sig, i love that episode)

 

How about Ulysses, Pirates of Black Water, Ludwig, Super Ted and The Mysterious Cities of Gold?

Not sure if these were around in the 90s but there are some of my favs from my younger days, which were a long long time ago

EDIT: Oh yeah, Chorlton and the Wheelies

 

80s.

Mysterious cities of gold was the best ever.

Ullyses 31 I think it was called.

Bod?

Chock-a-Block?

 

My top ten:

1. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles
2. Thundercats
3. Ghostbusters
4. Animaniacs (controversially among my split personalities)
5. Rainbow (i still have an original zippy dressed (by me) in a man united shirt)
6. Tiny Toons
7. Scooby-Doo
8. Catch the Pigeon (you have to sing the tune when you type that )
9. Saved by the bell
10. Mike and Angelo (patent pending)

i want to put sabrina the teenage witch in (damn she was hot from the perspective of a 13 year old and Salem is nearly as good a character as Bender) but i couldn't leave any of the others out. and yes i'm aware how sad it was to be watching such shows at 13 but it was on saturday mornings so i could just lay in bed and drool over Sabrina (i'm shallow but i'm happy)

 

Top 10: in no particular order

1. Bucky O Hare
2. Thudercats
3. Aquila
4. Round the Twist
5. Knightmare
6. Maid Marion
7. The Racoons
8. Fraggle Rock
9. Tiny Toons
10. Ghostbusters

 

Sabrina the Teenage witch still needs a good sorting out, and I'm 25...

 

bucky o hare!

i haven't seen that in ages!

it's been far too long, i can barely remember the theme tune.

 

it's years since i last watched Az, but if you insist so strongly i guess i had better start watching again

i never got Bucky o hare, i did like the theme though

 

best. theme. ever.

Bucky O Hare

 

My mates and I wanted to go on Knightmare, but we were always too pissed up on cider and we couldn't walk in straight lines, so we'd probably get 'sliced up' or something...

 

mcr: that takes me back! thank you very much!

 

i always wanted it to be real so the people never made it out alive, that would be my type of game

i remember the one time i saw it completed it was so tense!

 

What was that program where the people walked around in virtual reality presented by Craig Charles?

 

I seem to have a memory of 'serving wenches' in push-up brassieres for some reason... I'm sure they were in Knightmare somewhere...

 

don't remember that one MCR

i always remember the Jester from knightmare and the big badass guy, he used to freak me out, i wonder who played him

did anyone ever watch reboot? that was a trippy show, set in a computer very strange

 

I always thought the people would do better without that stupid helmet so they could see where they were going - but then I guess they'd see the game for waht it really was. A blue screen.

 

*is distraught*

what do you mean Az? it was real! that headset was to make it hard! we couldn't have everyone winning easily! it was really dammit!

*sits in corner and rocks back and forth*

it was real
it was real
it was real
