    I loved chobits. Was adorable.

    And for all these old cartoons being listed I may be missing it but I don't see mention of Dinosaucers, Silver Hawks, Street Sharks, Talespin, and so many other cheesy classics. Time to go browse RetroJunk again. See if they added anything new.

    Cutesy indeed.

    The Chobits was too sweet for me, and were probably more for the girls. Any thoughts about the Dino Riders, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

    PS: Here is another site toonarificthat has a lot of the series, cartoons, etc. from all times.

    Cool, but not as cool as Thunder Cats.

    The clitorsis is a reset button. Hilarous.

    For a second there I though you meant SWAT Cats. Those were cool, by the way.

    Samurai Pizza Cats.

    The name was probably the only good part of the show, but what a name.

    I always thought that was just a terrible pitch that somehow got through.

    Exec 1: "What's hot these days? What are the kids into?"
    Exec 2: "Well, according to this market research I just received, they love martial arts, pizza, and cute kitties."

    Has anyone watched Shin Chan? I would love to see it subbed and not dubbed, but the dubbed edition is pretty good. Also, for those of you that like things dubbed.

    God, what is with those wheels?! I'm trying to imagine how uncomfortable it'd be to sit in a car with tires thinner than my fingernail. I just can't do it. It's wrong, really.

    I have seen some of the episodes, and I can say that I like it. The original series were in English or was it in another language?

    Yes, Thunder Cats was cool. What do you all think about GI Joe, The Tick, and He-man?

    PS: I am going tomorrow to the city of Amsterdam to search for the first season of these cartoons: Transformers Generation One, GI Joe, Thunder Cats, M.A.S.K.

    All the shows you mentioned were cool, Arthgon, with The Tick being a likely candidate for a show I'd appreciate even more nowadays, as I suspect the humour to have been heavily slanted towards adults.

    I also bought the first issue of The Toxic Avenger, which I unfortunately lost years ago.

    I miss The Little Bits, Maya the Bee, The Littles, Papa Beavers Story Time, Rupert and my personal favorite David the Gnome. I can still remember all the lines to the songs even though I haven't watched these shows since I was 5-6 years old.

    Arthgon: That new G.I. Joe movie looks terrible. All they did was take the name. It's going to be just as bad as the Transformer movie. I couldn't even finish the first one.

    *squeal* Not in the face! Not in the face!

    I love the Tick ever so much. Mwahahahaha!

    Aww, I miss Rupert. I also miss Paddington Bear.

    Actually, most of those cars are air bagged, and so they actually ride nicer than the stock wheels/suspension.


    Arth: It was actually a Japanese series originally, the English is dubbed. It supposedly has had an effect in Japan akin to Simpsons in the early 90s or Southpark in the 00s had here in the U.S.

    Even so, we tried putting low-profile tyres on a friend of mines car one day, turning corners became so awful that they came straight back off. I don't know, I can't afford a new car so I may not be capable of understanding.

    God, I loved that show. I started singing the theme at work about a year ago at my job, and a few people around my age were surprised that I both remembered the show, and remembered all of the lyrics and the melody of the theme song.

    I'm a repository of TV theme songs. I wish I could have that space in my brain allocated to more useful knowledge, but I suppose if it's that or nothing I'll take it.

    When I started my job four years ago, I didn't know how to do anything and my confidence suffered. I used to listen to the David the Gnome and The Gummi Bears themes to cheer me up.

    Even now that I know how to do my job and my self-worth no longer suffers, it still elevates my mood!
