Scooby Doo
He-Man
Danger Mouse
Transformers
Beetlejuice
The Real Ghostbusters
M.A.S.K.
Dingbat and the Creeps
Smurfs
Dungeons & Dragons
Captain Cavemen
Robotech
The Frankenstones
Defenders of the Earth
Inspector Gadget
Schoolhouse Rock
Voltron
Jem and the Holograms
Silverhawks
Visionaries
and I also remember the short-lived Robocop cartoon

and today, I'll watch Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy when given the chance.

here's a strange bit of info for all of you, The Theme from Thundercats was written by Inside the Actors studio host James Lipton...

while talking about The muppets the other day i just found these, there's no muppet show but they're still making me laugh...









and this one is kermit and Vincent Price....

[pedromonkey]

these are the two greatest 80s movie songs, both from rocky 4....

no easy way out - montage no.1


Hearts on Fire - montage no.3


Montage 2 uses training montage by vince Dicola...

TV, The worlds cheapest Babysitter

[42ndStreetFreak]

A couple of films that stood out were -
"The Amazing Mr Blunden" (superlative kids ghost story with a top cast) and "Escape from the Dark" (top notch tearjerker about pit ponies).

On TV I used to like "Pitkins", "Robbie's Robots", "Michael Bentine's Potty Time", "The Double Deckers", "Banana Splits", "Fingermouse", "Robinson Crusoe", "The Flashing Blade".


That's late childhood TV as opposed to teenage years TV.
