Does anyone remember the short lived Teknoman? Where the main character and his family was abducted by aliens to be turned into assault mechs for an invasion, but the main character escapes before being brainwashed and uses his powers to defend Earth from the invaders.
It was awesome, but it got cancelled after the 1st season, so now I'm gonna get the Japanese version Tekkaman Blade.

Modern shows are mostly empty without comprehending their references, the perfect examples being Venture Brothers and Family Guy. Even with the references, your mileage may vary.

Post-modernism. Batman TAS, Freakazoid, hell even Pinky and The Brain build a world you could believe in, and had substance in and of themselves. So although you didn't know The Lob was singing a version of Hello Dolly, you liked the music and found it funny in itself.-Zen- post=18.75033.854598 said:

Unfortunately, it was dead long before it was cancelled. It died when Totally Spies and Code Lyoko took their places in its line-up, and that I can not forgive.axia777 post=18.75033.854661 said:

-Animaniacs (or however you spell it)
-Gundom Wing (god damn that show rocked my little brain when it came out)
Invader Zim (best show ever ever ever ever ever)

It has to be the Batman Animated series for me. I must've been about 6 when that started airing. I have all the dvd's. XD
Freakazoid was another one of my faves, I still quote that damn show. Dangermouse was another one. Ooh and Count Duckula, I bought the 1 series boxset not that long ago.
There is one show that I used to watch that not a lot of people remember. But I wonder if anyone here will. The Dreamstone? Anyone remember that?

Pokemon, Dexter's Lab, Dennis the Menace, The Trap Door (Don't you open that TRAP DOOOOR!), Tom & Jerry, Looney Toons. Can we talk animated movies as well? If so: The Lion King, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, Fivel Goes West.
I have to agree. You want retro? Go watch Clutch Cargo. I understand that retro is relative, but the Warner Brothers cartoons stand astride the world of animation like a party of Celestials [http://www.marvel.com/universe/Celestials]. But the scope of the thread seems to be post-1980. From this crop, my favorite is definitely Animaniacs, which (to my considerable surprise) recaptured much of the spirit of the Bugs Bunny era. Also, they made the occasional Marx Brothers reference. Aweseome.Emmitt_Nervend post=18.75033.854567 said:
Of course, when I was a kid I loved all the usual suspects- Ghostbusters, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Bravestar, Inspector Gadget. Unfortunately it turns out they were mostly crap. Who knew?
I was actually talking about retro cartoons at work today, I remember all my favourites - Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, Pinky & the Brain, Dangermouse, Jonny Quest, there were plenty of others too, there used to be a video on youtube of half an hour of 80's/90's cartoon openings.
I need to download those too.
