HARD CHOICES: FAVORITE SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON

[The Dark Wright]

Were alot of these named on... on Saturdays?

I remember Spidey and his Amazing friends, Scooby Doo, Fat Albert (classic) Justice League and the Wonder Twins.

Those were the best!  Sit up with my big-azz bowl of Frosted Flakes or Pops - watch the 'toons, switch over to Soul Train, then kick back with Kung-Fu Theatre in conjunction with Blackula with the well endowed Elvira.  Damn, those were the days! 

Y'all are killin' it, taking a brother back and stuff...

[Tahdigga]

she's an 80's baby!!!!

hahahah.. so that means you watched "Karate Kat," "BigFoot and teh Muscle Machines" and ... ummm...hmmm. There's one more that I knew you watched... okay, if you watched Bionic Six, then you watched "Dinosaucers" and "Defenders of the Universe"... riiiiight?

*looks at everyone else*
Raise ya hands if you remember Monchichi's

*hand is raised* I do remember some of those. Dinosaucers?  Dinosaurs meet Go-Bots more or less

[Tahdigga]

yeah I remember my grandmother would watch kung-fu flicks after all the catoons would go off. Or Wonder Woman would come on...*sigh*(goodtimes)

[Marvelous]

Hong Kong Fuey with Scatman Crothers.

[Catch22]

I almost forgot...

Fantastic Four (with H.E.R.B.I.E. instead of the Torch because they were afraid kids would set themselves on fire.)
Spider-Woman (She had a 'toon on ABC)
Space Ghost
Mr. T and the T Force

[Vic Vega]

Space Sentinels (a classic)

Pink Panther (Those Inspector Closeau/Anteater cartoons were mad funny, guys)

Godzilla (Godzooky rulez  .)

Hong Kong Fooey (Scatmanis the MAN, yo.)   

Tarzan of the Apes (suprizingly close to the books, IRRC)

Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (Still the best cartoon that ever featured Web-head)

BlackStar (Filmation's take on Tolkien, kind of).

Flash Gordon (I didn't realize how big a Filmation geek I actually was until I did this list)

Mighty Orbots (I remember this being ...pretty)

I left out the stuff I didnt actually see on Saturday's like Transformers 'cause I'm anal.

godzilla?

[Catch22]

I know this isn't a cartoon and heck, it probably didn't even come on Saturdays, but I'm feeling nostalgic....

Does anyone remember Space Giants?  The giant robots that turned into rockets?  It was a late 60's (before my time) precursor to the Transformers and their leader was an old man named Methusela!  I remember watching these after school....Space Giants, SpectraMan and UltraMan!

And no SMC (Saturday Morning Cartoon) Thread can be complete without mentioning Battle of the Planets (G Force)!!

[Tahdigga]

Wasn't UltraMan a Asian cartoon?

[Catch22]

Wasn't UltraMan a Asian cartoon?

These weren't cartoons, but yes...UltraMan, SpectraMan and Space Giants were all live-action shows imported from Japan...They were much in the vein of Godzilla and they were blatantly ripped off by Power Rangers and to an extent..Voltron.

[Tahdigga]

Does anybody remember a cartoon about a man who could run really fast, and he had a # 7 on his forehead and chest.

I remember seeing this on vhs..oh and it was in black and white.

Anybody know the name?

[Catch22]

That sounds like 8-Man.  Was that anime or was it an American cartoon?

[Tahdigga]

Wow I was so young then..anyway from what I can remember it seems like it was anime.

It looked a little bit like Gigantor.

[Vic Vega]

godzilla?
hahaha... man, you're hella old.
hahahhaha

jes playin'

This thread is like the 70's hit parade and my man calls me out over Godzilla. 

I'm going to pop a lazerdisc into my player and listen to some LTD heckwityou. 

Oh and Tah,... That Anime you remember? That's 8-Man alright.
