Favorite TV Cartoon(s) (heroes, shows, character, repeat)

Here it is, about the SInclair family hit TV in 1991;
Description Show Description • August 25, 2007

Dinosaurs premiered on April 26, 1991. The show is about a prehistoric dinosaur family whose lives are remarkably like human lives today. The teenage son goes through some of the same things a normal teenage human does, the mom has to deal with the same things a human mom does, and the baby seems an awful lot like a human baby (only more so). This show is very clever, very funny, and way ahead of its time!

The Voices were cast and that Baby was the best! Hope I can get the DVDs from somewhere, after doing a search engine. Thanks for bringing up this happy subject; my Netflix Queue is long, and there is NOTHING ON IT, everything is 'very long wait' all others are stupid movies. I need to set up my weekend DVDs right now.

Wasn't this a live-action "puppet" kind of show?
I remember watching the first run of the show (I thought it was just called "Dinosaurs").
Maybe I'm thinking of something different or maybe there's a cartoon version of the one I'm thinking of. But I remember thinking it was a suprisingly great show (I was a cynical teenager at the time) and I remember the baby.

I feel so alone because I cannot find anyone who use to watch

Starblazers

It was a dramatic cartoon with alot of emotion. The crew had to drive this battleship into space to get something I have forgotten what it was called but it was to stop earth being destroyed by radiation.

For it birth I thought it animation was head of it time even though characters where japanese animation similar to speed racer.

I like Deslok even though he was evil he was my fav.

Here is it website the dvd to pricey for me to get the entire collection but maybe over time I could get a season for Christmas.

Star Blazers

here is a clip that was played at beginning of each show.

here is a clip of intimate encounter with Nova and IQ9

this would be great turn into a movie with today's animation that is available.

Rocky and bullwinkle. Used to like those fractured fairytales.

I used to like those Hanna barbera cartoons they would sandwich into episodes of the banana splits.

Fantastic Four

Superfriends

Now my fave is "the simpsons" of course. But it has not been super funny for years. Although it is still funny.

While waiting for the UPS truck to bring me DVDs that I ordered on the "Dinosaurs"....I thought I would check in the forum to see if there are still cartoon watchers writing,,,,and yes!
StarBlazers was one of those Japanese anime, I should have known when you described the "take over the world, conquer the planet" type of synopsis. They are so sinister and horrible. Whatever happened to teaching little kids in Japan to drop an anvil on the coyote's head, or paint a tunnel on the side of a wall? Why does "Inuyasha", Pokeman, all those have to be about ..."Oh, we meet over PBJ sandwiches, yet you took more than me?!? Me must have a battle, a competition over it to get a badge, or collect another trophy"...What is it with them? OMG its almost sickening to see how ridiculous the little kids are with the contests & competitions. Cant they just play and have fun like American kids? Nope, they must 'conquer, win, rule" everything and everyone.

Even though I was a child of the 80s, my favorite cartoons growing up were the old Tom & Jerry cartoons -- we're talking the original Hanna-Barbera/Fred Quimby-produced cartoons from the 40s and 50s. I hate, hate, HATE the Chuck Jones-produced versions of the 60s, and pretty much anything that came after that as well. But the 40s/50s ones were great. The detail, the quality of the animation, the comedic timing and comic visual effects, the incredible musical scores that not just set the mood and provided situational context, but accounted for much of the sound effects... you just can't match stuff like
this absolute timeless classic any more (copyright 1946).


This is #2 on my all-time Tom & Jerry list (1952).

Mine were:
Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote - I loved that cartoon and the goofy stunts Wile did to catch Roadrunner, not to mention the mishaps he ended up getting himself into!

Elmer Fudd - Oooooh... I'll get that Wabbit!!!

About good ol' Elmer Fudd: Where do you think your knowledge of Classical Music would be without Looney Tunes? That is what kids are missing nowadays. The Japan Anime, fight, joust, battle for good over evil planets...thats hogwash!

Give me the good old "Ride of The Valkries"....Elmer wearing the Viking helmet on fat-horseback...."kill do wabbit, kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit right now"...
Did we think that was the classical composer Wagner, or just knew the tune becoz it was Elmer ?
Same goes for the "Fantasia" by Walt Disney; it brought to light more classical compositions than anything i know of. Merlin Mickey "the sorcerers apprentice"...brooms/mops coming to life, the alligators dancing ballet with those hippos-in-tutus...OMG THAT WAS SOME FUNNY STUFF!!!

My favorites as a kid were (and still are, for the most part) Heathcliff, Garfield, the Smurfs, the Jetsons, Strawberry Shortcake, and Inspector Gadget. Gee, can you guess which decade I grew up in? Now as an adult, I also love the South Park gang (especially Cartman), Homer Simpson & a few other Simpson's characters, and I also enjoy watching the Flintstones.

I remember that show! I would have been 14 (going on 15) years old, and totally remember watching it... it was really funny!
