Members Cheap21 Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 I hated how the show ended and Jerica never told Rico that she was Jem! Did anyone else hate Kimber? She was such a whiny little brat. Annoying little sister. I loved Pizazz. What a bitch...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 Kimber is kinda like Glimmer on She-Ra. I'm sitting here remembering how so many cartoons used to come on FOX and what is now MyNetwork when I was little and they did such a good job of making it fair and balanced for boys and girls. As kids we sure as hell weren't gonna watch the news so we watched it all. She-Ra is particularly great at appealing to boys too, something I really notice now as an adult. He-Man is very often tied in and the She-Ra toys were SO girly compared to the kickass nature of the cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 Wow! I never even heard of Qubo. I just followed the link but Comcast doesn't offer the channel. I'm really bummed. I still won't forgive The Cartoon Network for cancelling Thunder Cats. I was actually a part of a campaign to have it reinstated but to no avail. They just don't make cartoons like they use to. Popeye; Bravestarr; Defenders of the Earth; Dennis the Menace; Ducktales; He-Man; Karate Kat; Lady Lovely Locks; Laser tag Academy, Pink Panther; Smurfs... I could stay here forever. At least Boomerang still air episodes of The Smurfs, albeit limited. There's still an audience for 80's cartoons. If execs were smart they would dedicate a line up for it. I hate the current revamped asian animation they have on some of these classics. They suck donkey balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 Speaking of cartoons ending badly; Up to this day I'm still outraged over the way the original X Men on Fox ended. The show was just so fantastic ans superb! There were two alternate reality episodes that made Wolverine and Storm a couple. I was hooked! ARGH!!! Every time I think of X Men Evolution I shudder. Pure bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 Now you're making me want to watch Thundercats and all the great 80's cartoons. IMO the 80's had the best cartoons and the best tv shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 lol dragonflies, I have another window open right now and I'm going through the list of all the 80's cartoons I was fond of (Fraggle Rock, Felix The Cat, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Strawberry Short Cake, Voltron...) Now I'm getting pretty nostalgic myself. I'll give my right arm if they brought back even a few of these great classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 I was also a fan of C.O.P.S., the Police Academy cartoon, M.A.S.K. (!), Wheeled Warriors, Silverhawks (!), of course G.I. Joe and transformers, and we even watched My Little Pony and Glow Friends/Moondreamers... I wont even get into Saturday mornings. One of the best cartoon opening themes ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQdgbs0IUDg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think they'd eff them up if they brought them back. I'd rather see see the originals on Boomerang or another channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 df, I was talking about the originals for sure. There's no way I want them to re-create them with some revamped, or worse, computerized animation like Transformers Prime *shudders* If Boomerang, Hub, and the like were smart they would bring back the originals with a block line up. I'm watching Jem now. "Like a dream" music video just played. Such awesomeness!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 1, 2011 Members Share Posted June 1, 2011 I agree that the reboots either suck or just do not capture the vibe, e.g. any and all attempts at transformers post original run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 Why is it that the 80's managed to provide such great music and kids entertainment and TV? We never have that now. There's no real style or sense of fun now, unless it's something trashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
