Another good actress. Guess her name.

Glad to know that my previous blog about cartoons that I loved has brought some memories. I have a bunch more too. Making these blogs makes me realize that really, really good cartoons, don't happen as much as they did when I as a kid. Thank you God for DVDs, youtube and video tapes!

Popeye

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, I am in love with a woman named Olive Oyle who can be a real **** to me sometimes and I love myself some spinach.

This is a show that I grew watching with my mom. She still watches it today too. I loved the fact that it was once again bread put of a comic. A comic strip that is. He started in the 30's a part of a show and then with Betty Boop.

What I liked about him was his corny jokes and the fact that he always triumphed over evil. Bluto was a pain the ass to he and Olive. At times I actually wanted Bluto to get with her because Olive was such a **** to him. I remember one episode where she flipped her hand and went to Bluto. Then she noticed that he is Mr. Grabby Hands (we ladies know what that means and to an extent some men) she screamed for her love Popeye and he'd eat that spinach and save her and others. I did not like the baby, but his unle I think it was who ate the burgers was too funny.

He had a game, a really awful movie made about him and now he's on Boomerang TV in full color.

Pound Puppies

This was a cute cartoon that I recall actually made me like dogs. I'm a cat person and forever will be, but this show, which was launched after a line of toys, made me appreciate dogs more. you always learned something from it and I own a pound puppy myself.

I'd also like to say, they were a gang. They all had odd names and wore clothing that you as a human would wear.

The names:

• Cooler
• Nose Marie
• Bright Eyes
• Howler
• Whopper

I thought the names of my cats weird. They had villains who were OK, but not really scary.

Bananaman

This has got to be a show that most people I know has never heard of. When I watched it, it eaird on Nickelodeon. He was a hero that ate bananas and when he did he he became Bananaman.

He had his own comic strip in 1980. I'm not sure when it ended, but dammit it gave birth to a really fun show.

The Berenstain Bears

I read the books as a child, so when they made a TV series out of this, hell yes I jumped at watching it. It was really cool to see something you read come to life and not feel all jaded about it the way I am now. Also a fun fact is that one of the characters that appeared in the show, ws not from the book, but eventually made it into the books afterwards. How interesting is that?

Bionic Six

As a kid superheroes were always my cup of tea. I stumbled upon this gem back in '87. Well man what a good show. They were jumped by aliens or something and then they were in a radioactive coma due to it. Well what do you do when that happens?

You have a leader who is immune to this radioactivity, goes to his doctor and boom, they each get some type of bionic ability to counteract the radioactivity so that they won't die. And now they will be able to make the world better.

They had a villain, show looked like this and was also the brother to the Doctor who helped save the Bionic Six from death. Such a shame that they would have to fight, but he is an evildoer, so he must be crushed!

Sadly no DVDs are in the works. Curse you DiC!

Camp Candy

Anyone who has ever been to camp would understand how this show is pretty realistic in a sense. John Candy was a buffoon who tried to show the kids how to live in the great outdoors and failed at it miserably. But he looked so funny doing it. He also tries to get the kids to get a long and has a villain who is a rich bastard. He wants to kill the camp to put up condos or something of that nature.

The kids were alright. the smallest kid was annoying and wanted to give him a dropkick to put me out of my misery. And of course, they spawned their own comic book series.

Gummie Bears

I'm actually humming the song right now...gummie bears, bouncing hear and there and everywhere...that was a great intro to this fun show. The show was based off of the delicious Gummy Bear candies.

When you watch it you get a sense that they could be a friend down the street or someone you've seen due to the way they acted. They had really good human characteristics. I also wanted their gummi berry juice.

Much like The Smurfs, not everyone could see them. Only certain ones did. Cavin is the most well know one. When things would get bad, he'd drink Gummie Berry juice and he'd get strong. When the bears drank it, they'd bounce.

Very good and fun show. Gruffi Gummi (the angry one) was always so funny and mean. I thought he was really real, if you know what I mean.

DVDs are available.

The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show

You have to have been living under a rock or never read a newspaper to know who that human and dog are. Based on the comic strip Peanuts, we got this gem of a show back in the 80's.

Of course Charlie Brown would be the bunt of man a joke, was treated bad and would be the man on the outside looking in once again. I am waiting for him to beat the **** out of that **** Lucy.

Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers

This has got to be one of my favorite Disney shows ever! You had the two original little dudes from the early days of Disney Chip and Dale.

Chip is as always the level headed one and Dale, well Dale is just a goof, but means well. They have a great theme song and they have a detective agency. They have Gadget (because she makes cool ones), Monetery Jack (who has this affinity for cheese) and the stupid fly who never spoke Zipper.

They solved many a human and no human case. Thier villain was a bit of a knock-off of a mobster called Fat Cat. He had henchmen who were a lizard, a crackhead or pothead cat, a mole and a rat. I really think that the cat Mepps was on drugs all the time.

It was a great show that I felt could have gone on for decades, but they go killed. DVDs are available.

Dinosaucers

They are intelligent creatures that seemingly are in an endless battle with the Tyrannos. It was also interesting to see that the Tyrannos wanted to get the technology that they had. Apparently the Tyrannos were not as smart, but just really animalistic.

There are no plans to have them released on DVD. DiC has done it again!

Fun fact- Coca Cola owned the characters.

Cartoons!
