I remember Camp Candy and Gravedale High. I didn't see much of Gravedale High, but I do remember it. Some of those other ones made me facepalm. Pro Stars? Oh and the lip syncing on the Muhammad Ali show was terrible.

Bob, I love you man, but you are seriously killing me with those opening theme songs. So bad. So, so bad.
I'm disappointed, he basically slapped some pieces of cartoons together and added some voice-over and those same faces he always uses; he didn't have a point or a bigger thing he was commenting on or even presenting and he even said so. The discussion is better than the episode, actually.
Maybe you and I just have different tastes in this show, but these are the sorts of episodes that I love seeing him do. When I just get to learn and see about some stuff that I didn't know about before. Admittedly I prefer when he goes into a bit more detail on the subject, this one felt just like a junk drawer episode that had a theme (I mean Sucker Punch got two episodes, why couldn't this? Expand on some of these)General Vagueness said:
But I prefer these fun pop culture trivia episodes over stuff like the With Great Power episode he did a few weeks back.
Gotta agree with you on that.MB202 said:
Anyways, I think reality TV is worse. It really begs a question of, "Why should I care if ***** A doesn't like ***** B?"
I want my Music Television back.
I remember Hammer Man, actually I remember all these cartoons. I was just the right age when they came out. I don't think Kids really think about how stupid some of this stuff is. I remember enjoying the dancing and music sections in the Hammer Man show. I don't think I really knew very much about M.C. Hammer at the time but I remember that show.
Jackie Chan Adventures? That's pretty much the last show like that I can think of.

Im starting to realise just how horrible the a number of the cartoons I watched as a child were... Atleast two of those Ive watched almost religiously...
I sometimes wonder if Bob and I grew up in different realities. In the 80s, and even into the 90s, Bo was an internet meme before the internet meme was really a thing. We're not quite talking Chuck Norris level, but still. "Bo knows" was all over the place and people managed to not get tired of it, much to my chagrin.
Either that, or they were doing it "ironically," and being hipsters before hipsters were a thing.

You found one I don't know about. That's a feat.bdcjacko said:
In the 80s, you absorbed this shit by virtue of being alive. Seriously, I didn't even get some of these shows on my cable providers and I know them.TAdamson said:

I feel like I should apply to be Bob's intern since when he brings up old animated TV shows, I basically looked at the list of celebrity shows and went "seen it, seen it, didn't see it, seen it, etc." With the exception of a few, I've actually grown up watching the majority of these shows. I don't know if I find that impressive or just sad. ^^;
Every one has brought up Jackie Chan Adventures as one show Bob overlooked but what about Lil' Rosie, which was Rosanne Bar's short lived-animated series?
Although, in retrospect, perhaps its best to forget about that one.

75% of this installment was just random cartoon openings, around the halfway point I started skipping ahead in the video because I didn't want to see any more of that shit, you kept them on for way too long MovieBob -_-
Meh, I guess Bob's allowed to release something like this once in a while (a long while).

Yeah, I'm just going to jump on the bandwagon and mention Jackie Chan Adventures.
I think it was one of the last cartoons I stopped watching as I grew up. I did love it but I think they could have improved the last series to give it less of the, "we're milking it of its last drops" feel.

I will hear no words spoken against Beatles narrated Thomas the Tank Engine, heretic!saintdane05 said:
Not gonna lie, I think that show had some potential, and I thought Mariko Itakura was kind of hot when I saw her doing the tricks at the end of each episode. By all accounts, she's actually a damn good illusionist.LadyRhian said:
