So, YouTube has been feeding my 80s nostalgia as of late. I've been seeing things I have not dared to think about in 25 years. Remembering cartoons that no one dares to put on DVD is one of them. My pick happens to be this:

Man that theme rocked. They only had 13 episodes, but damn, if that show didn't rule.
So what's yours?
Duck Tails and Chip'n'Dales Rescue Rangers. Scored those on DVD at 1/2 off thrue the disney movie club

I think I peed my pants a little when Duck Tales came out. Remember Tailspin? Airplane theme and daily after school? Yes please!
As a kid from the 50s, I have to bellow out loud!
Don't ask me why. You wouldn't understand.
WIIIIIILLLLLLMAAAA!
Right?

go home have snacky cake cause Mask wins.
How about Force Five! Five different anime shows every day of the week, four of them baddass, one a little lame... It'll take a moment to remember the names.
later, matt
don't get me started....I was a tv addict.
None were finer (or more twisted) than Ralph Bakshi's short-lived Mighty Mouse revival.
Force Five was a dope robot-based anime that I dug. Different robot for each day of the week.
I think only the Boston area got it, though.
whats fun is finding theme songs from your old cartoons in different languages!

Tailspin and Darkwing Duck. Good stuff.
I always liked this little rare jem. Very few people I know every came across it: The Mighty Orbots
Whoa wait a minute. All you people are self confessed gearheads, yet no one mentions Transformers? I'm astonished.

I have that on DVD at home right now. I continually forget how wonderful it is.
It was a bit past my prime, but I LOVED the Animaniacs skit about Woodstock that was like the whole Abbott & Costello "Who's on First" skit"! here
G.I. Joe, ThunderCats, He-Man and She-Ra....
MASK and Transformers were both ones I liked.
However, the two best in my opinion were:
The first Ghostbusters TV series, though the later watered down series sucked.
Kidd Video - I wanted their bus.
Sheesh. You kids. I grew up with Magilla Gorilla.
Battle of the Planets, Star Blazers, Robotech, GI-Joe.
Voltron FTMFW

And speaking of great big apes, what about George of the Jungle.

just coming in to say Danger Mouse.
Star Blazers (although it originally aired in Japan during the 70's).
