What did you watch before Transformers?

Postby Screambug » Wed Jun 06, 2007 8:26 pm

My little sister and I used to watch Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and Popeye. I also watched He-man And The Masters of Universe, which wasn't exactly a girly show anyway (but I enjoyed it!) Superfriends, too! That was back in the early 1980s, BTW.

How about you?

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.

He-Man & Thundercats were my other childhood favourites. 80s cartoons were so much better. :D

Well, I'll just post the ones I LIKED to watch, as everything's been seen.

-Starblazers (Yamato)
-Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman)
-Speed Racer
-Marine Boy
-Thundercats
-Galaxy Rangers (no, not Power Rangers related!!!)
-Mighty Orbots
-Tranzor Z (Mazinger)

Thundercats, though not containing robots or ninja, definitely had a "continuity" at times, to say nothing of decent writing.

He-Man. In fact, before it got carried in our area, we used to rent discs of the series. I can't remember if that was the actual name of the format, but maybe some Seibertroners will know what I'm talking about. These things came in a plastic sleeve about the size of a full size record sleeve, and you'd push one end into the player, and the disc would slide out and play the show. And then came video tapes, and those things went bye-bye.

G.I. Joe was pretty big, too... and I really can't remember too much else. I can remember a lot of the stuff that came AFTER, like MASK and Centurions and even more obscure stuff, like Sectaurs. And I recall an animated commercial for Starriors made us think we were getting a show. =p

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
I was born in 1979, and these were the cartoons that I remembered watching when I was a little young 'un. In the 80's were Transformers (my favorite), GI Joe, Thundercats, MASK, Centurions, Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors, Dino Riders, Dinosaucers, Spiral Zone, The Real Ghostbusters, Tigersharks, He-Man, Voltron, Bionic Six, Silverhawks, Captain Harlock, Gobots, Robotech, Fantastic Max, Danger Mouse, Sky Commanders, and Looney Tunes. In the early 90's were Batman (my favorite), TMNT, Disney Afternoon, Garfield And Friends, Toxic Crusaders, Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget, Turbo Teen, Exo-Squad, Dennis The Menace, Bobby's World, The Pirates Of Dark Water, Captain Planet, Tiny Toon Adventures, Beetlejuice, and X-Men.

There may be some that I might have missed, but you guys know what I'm talking about! Nostalgia-five!!!

Weapon: Three-Bladed Knife
SUPERFREINDS!!!

Spiderman,
Spiderman
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any size
Catches thieves
just like flies
Look out,
here comes the Spiderman

Is he strong?
Listen Bud
He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread ?
Take a look overhead
Hey, there!
There goes the Spiderman

In the chill of the night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time

Spiderman,
Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood,
Spiderman
Wealth and fame,
he ignores
Action is his reward
Look out,
here comes the Spiderman

To him,
life's a great big bang up
Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spiderman!

AND the Harlem Globetrotters
