Cartoon Comebacks....

[Newmanseye]

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.

[Newmanseye]

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!

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?

[Newmanseye]

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!!

[matt674]

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......

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?

[Claw75]

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!

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   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....
