I hear that a TV production company is going to make new episodes of "Dangermouse", one of my favourites from my childhood

Now I'm a bit older than all of you who are going to quote me "He Man and Masters of the Universe" as their favourite but nevertheless...


Name me cartoons you'd like them to bring back

I'd nominate

Top Cat
Hong Kong Phooey
Jamie and the Magic Torch


My kids favourite happens to be "Recess" and assorted rubbish like  "Fillmore" and "Lloyd in Space" (I think thats what they are called... ;tk;)

Hectors House
Mary, Mungo and Midge.
Mr Ben

wasn't quite a cartoon but

CHORLTON AND THE WHEELIES!!!

Eh up its that lickle old lady - 'ello lickle old lady.......

Oh you stupid dragon........

boomarang has started playing the racoons this week.i loved that when i was younger.but my all time favourite has to be
BANANAMAN.classic

Blimey if your going to describe a superhero dressed as the all time worlds greatest fruit - at least get it right ;)

mmmmmm bananas.....

 :blonde: just realised.

I like most of the above and also Button Moon

p.s. i also would agree with the Hong Kong Phooey vote.

thanks sark, cant get the the tune out of my head now !!


We're off to button moon, we'll follow Mr. Spoon, button moon...button moon.


There ...Now you can all sing it LOL LOL

And there I was thinking that they'd made a cartoon version of this - http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/catherine-cookson/bannaman-legacy.htm (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/c/catherine-cookson/bannaman-legacy.htm)   :D

Yogi Bear

Mr Benn is a good shout too, they almost made a film of that recently starring John Hannah as Mr Benn

THIS IS 29 ACACIA ROAD.AND THIS IS ERIC,THE SCHOOL BOY WHO LEADS AN EXCITING DOUBLE LIFE.FOR WHEN HE EATS A BANANA AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION OCCOURS.ERIC IS BANANAMAN.EVER ALERT FOR THE CALL TO ACTION.

Dogtanian 

excellent

Cheers sark - managed to dig up my favourite on there as well

Ho ho ho ho........

:D ,  that looks an insane show.  I don't think I have seen that before, it didn't ring bells

insane?!?!?!?!?

A show involving a happiness dragon with a thick northern accent who every week without realizing it stops an evil green witch with a welsh accent who lives in a kettle with a talking telescope with an irish accent and a talking spellbook from spreading evil to the inhabitants of wheelie world.

insane?!?!?!?!?

 :D

Secret squirrel
Battle of the planets

Total class, had forgotten about that  program, I think I used to be a bit scared of it. Was there a weebles wobble program or just the toys? I can't find it on utube.

Tighty of course used to be in the Trumpton Fire Brigade - Pugh, Prew, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb.

Strangely enough, that used to be the way the kids teased me in the playground

My favorite cartoon series of all time, the business!! :)up

Also Orm and cheep

LOL,  wtf?

Mask

Pole position

I dont remember what it was called but the one where the evil plant guys turned into cars.

Fraggle Rock

Inspector Gadget

Jamie and the magic torch (Good choice Tighty!)

Roobarb and Custard

Count Duckula

Tom and Jerry!!!

The Mysterious Cities of Gold - an absolute epic.

Chorlton and Wheelies is class

so is Jamie and the Magic Torch.

No one has mentioned Bod yet - another classic.

I don't want any of them remade though - part of the charm of them is watching them as they were when I was a child.  My little girl is getting into Button Moon now (shown every night 8.15ish on Nick Jr, right after Rainbow, Mr Spoon fans!)

 ;iagree;

and to be honest (though i hate to admit it) its that long since i was a child they are all new to me anyway as i cant remember them from first time round!! :)

(though i have got a box set of chorlton and the wheelies so maybe it isnt true with that one!)

Chorlton and the wheelies and Dogtanian were fantastic!!
What about Batfink........."my wings are like a shield of steel!"

wow, yeah i remember that - what was the name of his chinese assistant who wore the white judo outfit?

it was a karate outfit, hence his name, 'karate' :)

maybe it was a judo outfit but he was given the name "karate" tongue-in-cheek - just like the cat from Hong Kong Phooey was called "spot" even though he had stripes!! ;)

(though thanks for reminding me of the characters name :)up)

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors was the name of that show, The good guys were called "the lightning league"

I always loved boys cartoons like Thundercats and Jace And The Wheeled Warriors.

They should bring back Trapdoor though (cos there's something down there!)

dungeons and dragons

Dungeons and Dragons
Raccoons
Batfink

in that order

Got to agree with monkeyboy and Claw here, Chorlton and the Wheelies and Hong Kong Phooey were superb  :)up.

(None of my mates remember Chorlton and the Wheelies - thought i'd imagined it  :D :D )

Dangermouse was top class as well !!

the raccoons is being shown on boomarang in the mornings.pure class.

Battle of the Plantes

Dungeons and Dragons

Ulysses 'The Kingdon of Hades'


And one from my early childhood that I can't for the life of me remember the name of. All I remember is being transfixed by a bunch of alien animal type figures playing musical instruments who were beamed down by a UFO....if anyone has any idea what this might be I'd appreciate it as nobody has a clue what I'm talking about when we have these nostalgic convo's.  


Cheers,

Will.

Both great

Mysterious Cities of Gold and Ulysses 3001 were made by the same Japanese production team, apparently... years before 'Akira', and before the West had heard of Miyazaki and Spirited Away, and we were treated to quality anime without even knowing it!

Oh yes

and

Trap Door

;iagree;

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!  :D

Wacky races...(catch the pigeon catch the pigeon)

(ginger did the voice for one of the characters apparently!)

Dungeons and dragons good shout.

Wacky Races - now that was one of my fav's.

Also, Tom and Jerry is a good call.

Indeed!

Now, I see Sark is He Man and Baron is the archer guy from D+D...

The child of the sun has clearly started a trend :)

lol,   we should all become cartoon characters for 1 day.  Which avatar will you all pick?

Archer? Archer? He is the RANGER!

And he is back out of the top drawer! He has been seen on here before.

Hair Bear Bunch

Chorlton And the Wheelies !!

lol, good to see you folks are selecting a cartoon character avatar.  September 1st can be the first Blonde Cartoon Avatar day. This can be an annual event

Has anyone mentioned Captain Caveman? Another of Aaron's many alter-ego's.  ;)

And I know I'm not a cartoon character today but it's just so damn cute, I couldn't resist.

Puppets, plasticine and computer animation can all count as a cartoon image.  I have checked the blonde avatar day rule book Clairebear, it says that your chosen avatar is acceptable  :)up

Yay! Thank you very much.  8)

Speaking of plasticine - how about Morph and his evil cousin Chaz..........

lol,  I liked Morph. He was a talented actor and a fine example of what a plasticine model should be

There is no beating the Thundercats!

Yep, it is my favorite as well mate. But He-Man was my choice for today though  :D

<<<< jumping on the chorlton bandwagon!

'Ello lickle old lady!!

 :o ZOWIE!! :o

Apologies... my memory doesn't extend to the names of the characters - I can only recall them by the weapons they had; cowardly guy with the shield, guy with the magic bow, girl with the invisibility cloak, etcetera...

Also - now that you mention it, I do remember seeing that avatar before! ;welcome; back Ranger ;)

Intriguing comment from the cat... any chance of a follow-up? ;D

Cloak was - thief

Club was - barbarian

Shield was - Cavalier

Magic hat was - Magician ( presto)

Power bow was - Ranger

Staff was - acrobat

Bad demamon dude on the black flying horse was - Venger

and the five headed dragon was - Tiamat



Yes I am a cartoon geek!

not a cartoon exactly but this used to be my fav, four feathered falls,



http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/gerrya/fff.htm

I love you.

gummie bears

tailspin

teddie ruxspin

pob (pink faced dude with round head and big ears)

rescue rangers

the chipmunks

captain planet

pigeon street  ;scarymoment; , centurions, transformers

easy tiger, I have not even started on the unmade episodes, which if made would have been pretty good.

billy did they get home for good on the last episode?

nope, the final episodes were never made. they never got to make the first few of the last series so the story of the kids getting home never came to fruition.

Bit of a shame as i loved the show, I have the lot on DVD and a few scripts kicking about too.

The script for the last episode was excellent. The Venger-Dungeon Master, Son-Father storyline comes out and the kids turn Venger good again. Awwww!

Not sure if anyone has said it in the last 5 pages but Mysterious Cities of Gold - AWESOME

yeah that was exellent, and another i didnt see the end of, u dont happen to have that on dvd billy do you? oh and how many episodes of d&d was there?

aye I'll lend them to you mate, i had a few scripts by michael reaves but were classed as fan fiction, I'll try & dig them out.

That was the script for requiem, But at the end the kids had a choice to make similar to the choice that Dr Sam beckett makes in the final episode of Quantum Leap.

Michael reaves wrote a few scripts for other episodes which also never came to fruition.

I hated the ending of quantum leap.  Sam Beckett is still out there somewhere, however I did see a guy that looked very similar to him on Enterprise. His name was Captain Archer though, so it couldn't have been him and it was 150 years in the future. 

It was a fantastic ending i thought, I was sobbing like a baby at the end, you would have thought i was watching lassie.

Shame they ended the series but what a way to end it.

It wasn't a cartoon but friday afternoons were all about Nightmare.

if we're on to non-cartoons, did anyone else watch The Adventure Game?

it was soooo cheaply made but a great show!!

I have a very fond memory of sitting down with my grandad and watching the frist ever screening of The Waltons...i think i even remember the night being a Thursday

Nice idea for a program but it used to wind me up as most of the kids they had on there were usually complete numpties who had no idea!!


Was that the one with the backwards talking salamander and the game at the end where they had to cross to the other side of the grid while avoiding some kind of death ray?

Yup and the supreme overlord or leader thing was a plant!!

Was it a bit like a triffid or giant venus fly trap?

Spending lots of time abroad in Saudi Arabia as a kid i missed a lot of kids tv but seem to remember bits of shows without really remembering what went on.

Which is always handy in cases like Cheggers Plays Pop...... :D

Was there also a kids quiz based around films or movies where there was a giant board in the studio with numbers on and the first team to the end of the board won?

I remember the plant just being like a bush, but my memory is hazy....

I remember the film one too - can't remember what it was called now.  Off to check the tv cream website!

The Adventure Game, another good call.


(Matt and Claw, are we gonna start a Chorlton and the Wheelies fan club here on blonde  :D :D )

Yeah go on.  that will be the second club I've joined today.  Bolt and I have formed a new and very exclusive (i.e. just us) clique :D  It's very secret though .... I've said too much.

Going back to D&D the baby unicorn was called 'Uni' and Vengars assistant was called 'Shadowmaster' (i think)

My choice of Cartoons they should bring back are:

Ulysees 31
Dogtanian & the Muskerhounds  (one for all and all for one, muskerhounds are always ready)
Dangermouse


BTW: Quantum Leap was fantastic.  Series 1-4 are out on DVD now....

Ulysses, Ulysses, Soaring through all the galaxies...Ulysseeeee eee eee eeees

You and Bolt ...  sounds interesting  :D :D

Anybody else for the Chorlton fan club ?? ;)

are you implying that we are boring?!?  we will have to hold a committee meeting.

Not at all  ;), I can't imagine anything that you and bolt are involved in being boring !! ;hide;

I would tell you about all the fun we have but, like I said, it's top secret

Now I really want to know, curiosity has gotta hold of me  :D

If i was going to hazard a guess for claw and bolt's secret club then i think the initiation to gain entry would involve consuming excessive amounts of alcohol whilst travelling on high speed trains resulting in eviction from said public transport.........

of course i may be wrong ;)

And i'm all for a chorlton and the wheelies fan club - in the words of the great one himself: "by 'eck - that'd be gradely" :)

 rotflmfao rotflmfao

Sounds like that could be the secret club Matt  :D

Well thats the end of that secret club then!!!!!! :tikay: ;D

Damn rumbled.  Let's start another secret club Bolt - I promise not to give anything away this time!

you'd have gotten away with it if it wasnt for those pesky monkeys!!   ;D

I watched some of a Banana man cartoon this morning.  He was one of my hero's
