Swingin' Ryan Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 There just seems to be too much of a novelty factor in all this 80's memorobillia . I can't wait till being into the 1920s is cool, the hip kids in 'totally random' bowler hats and petticoats.It's fair enough if you actually watched it as a kid, but I'd like to know how the ratio of people who own a toy Bagpuss, to people who actually watched Bagpuss.

Paranoid Android Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I never really liked thundercats. I did really like M.A.S.K but i saw it on tv recently and it was well . Maybe it was just a bad episode, the ydidn't eve nsit around their tabel where all threir mask dropped on their heads. Visionaries was the best cartoon though, i have it on dvd and it is still a good watch. Dogtanian.. is still good too, i really should watch the rest of volume 4 soon.HAcksaw Jim Duggen > THundercatsalthough hacksaw got crushed when i saw him fight yokozuna in aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the complete Bagpuss on DVD and Video and have been known to give singing mice as presents. It was my favourite childhood show.I also have a few cuddly clangers which I watched. I'm really impressed actually that o many 19 year olds seem to remember what they watched in the 80s as the maximum you could have been at the end of the 80's was what, 3 and a half.four, I have no idea what I watched when I was 3. When I was about 5/6 i watched Bagpuss, Ivor the engine, pigeon street, the flumps, finger mouse, cockleshell bay, and the cool cartoon was Godzilla (and Godzooki...), WHat I want to see on DVD cartoon wise is 'the Mysterious Cities of Gold'.CheersStuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DustyDeviada Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I did really like M.A.S.K but i saw it on tv recently and it was well . Agreed' date=' I was about as big a M.A.S.K. fan as you could get, (used to get up and watch it at 7am on Saturday AND Sunday, won 30 worth of M.A.S.K. toys in a competition at the old Boots on Union Street where Virgin is now by designing a mask), but saw it recently on Sky and it was a load of shite. One question: what's the fucking point of T-BOB? I'll reserve judgement on Thundercats, however.WHat I want to see on DVD cartoon wise is 'the Mysterious Cities of Gold'.http://www.raretv.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=83&osCsid=03c7dd52863b6f3e0a81d2dfbf9360deDon't say I'm not good to you, Stuart. Apparently this is the best you can hope for as the original English language masters were destroyed in a fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Carly's right, you're all so bloody miserable. Stop complaining about everyone being 'random' and realise that you're a complete trend whore yourself, because it's cool to act as though you're better than everyone else, isn't it?Maybe everyone should just take a deep breath and think before you all start bitching about a cartoon series, it's kinda sad that everyone got so upset about this.
