Old TV/Cartoon Shows

[Stupid Flanders]

This is a thread for people who appreciate the old TV/cartoon shows and look down upon newer shows that will never be as good as classics.

Just to start, I used to watch old nickelodeon and cartoon network shows (90's or older). Nowadays, cartoons just aren't as good as they used to be...

[Tails]

Rocko > Lazlo

[ZedIsDead]

Well, I don't know what this Lazlo character is, but I'm sure he can't hold a candle to Rocko. Rocko's Modern Life was one of my favorites when I was younger.

[TrakMastaTom]

Hey Arnold
Rugrats
Ren and Stimpy
Doug

Some awesome old Nick shows.

[count100]

what about the t.v. show called "you cant do that on television" that was a really good one.. and i think it was called "Salute Your Shorts".. and the all time classic to show my age lol... "gumby" those all were good shows..

[Tails]

Well, I don't know what this Lazlo character is, but I'm sure he can't hold a candle to Rocko. Rocko's Modern Life was one of my favorites when I was younger.
Camp Lazlo is from the Creator of Rocko's modern life, even with the same voice actors.


it don't live up to Rocko though.

same with Catscratch/Catdog same ordeal

[Dudebro]

You guys make me feel old.

I used to love to watch;

G.I. Joe

Thundercats

[Squall]

i remember thundercats! only barely though...

[TrakMastaTom]

I wasn't too into shows like G.I. Joe and Thundercats. I have watched them both, but I prefered more light hearted shows.

A superhero kind of show I did watch that was awesome: Hong Kong Phooey.

I also watched alot of Speed Racer growing up.

[Squall]

Hong Kong Phooey was amazing as well, i loved that show!

[TNTisKING]

Don't forget animaniacs! ;)

[Squall]

again, one of the all tim classics of cartoons!

[SolarLune]

I remember some of those, but I like the Super Mario World and Super Mario Brothers 3 cartoons. I only saw 3 or so, but I loved it. Ahh, memories... :)[br]Posted on: May 27, 2008, 01:03:04 PM________________________________________________ _Oh, I don't exactly look down on newer cartoons, but Dexter's Lab... I salute thee! :D

[Tails]

Swat Katz was good.

[TrakMastaTom]

Or Samurai Pizza Cats!

[Tails]

Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Courage, Two stupid dogs, Secret Squirrel, Captain Planet, Under Dog, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Magilla Gorilla, Dragon Ball, Zoids, Yu yu hakusho, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and not but not least Speed Racer.

[TNTisKING]

cartoon network was amazing, and then they completely killed it in one day :'(

[Tails]

all those shows i just mentioned are currently on boomerang, Smurfs Snorks..

get the channel to go to latin america where CCF is still hosted by cartoons.

[count100]

this is going back to when i was a really young kid, but does anyone remember the tv show "the riders in the sky". when i saw them in concert i met them and had to ask them about the show cause i thought that i had made it all up somehow growing up.. but it did exist

[Stupid Flanders]

this is kind of off topic, but the other day i just learned that nickelodeon studios basically died a few years ago, and i didn't even know! pretty sad :'( :'(

here's two short videos with some old cartoons at the end of each:

[sezthemank]

the magic roundabout
(did u ever notice how stoned the rabbit was)

when they made a film of it - they ruined it

what about - garfield
the cartoon - not the film

[TrakMastaTom]

We're ready to party, we're ready
I hope you brought lots of spaghetti
Come on in come to the place where fun never ends
Come on in, it's time to party with Garfield and friends!

[Dudebro]

Isn't it funny how they say spaghetti when Garfield was obsessed with Lasagna. Btw, I used to love that show. Garfield ftw.

[TrakMastaTom]

Well, Garfield just loved food. ;)

[Tails]

i found this on youtube.. you should love it, its quite funny.

[Dudebro]

Well, Garfield just loved food. ;)

Ah but you miss the point. Lasagna is his FAVORITE food, therefore it should've been in the song. I'm sure it's just hard to rhyme it.

Also this was good too.

[Tails]

Alf stunk Dudebro.. :(

[Dudebro]

Alf stunk Dudebro.. :(

Well, you probably think that because you were born the same year the show went off the air. Lol@you for being a noob at life. >:(
Besides, like 90% of the stuff you like I think is crap so our opinions aren't exactly similar.

[count100]

Alf stunk Dudebro.. :(


i have to disagree tails alf was a great show and i have always wanted to see a alf movie made or the show brought back lol so nice pull dudebro on that one...

[Tails]

Nah, Threes company rocked and that before my time.

[Dudebro]

I like John Ritter but Threes Company was lame. Also it was pretty offensive to gay people.
Now All in the Family was awesome.

[Tails]

lame? it was funny as hell, ESPECIALLY the misunderstandings!

Dudebro, your a 'meathead' :P

[Dudebro]

I'll give it some credit, Three's company had funny moments. But that was mostly John Ritter.

[Tails]

I'll give it some credit, Three's company had funny moments. But that was mostly John Ritter.
indeed, i was so sad when i heard he died him and Don Knotts were the reason i watched Threes Company.

you can't deny Macho Mr. Ferley Dudebro ;D

[count100]

ok i have to agree with tails dudebro the only funny things on that show were john ritter and don knotts thats about it tho..

[Tails]

Some of Norman Fell was good as well but..

Don Knotts > Norman Fell

[Dudebro]

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/unyobroyo/ladykillerbitmapuv7.png
Oh yeah.

[Tails]

Right on! ;D

i hated when they kept on switching blonde roomates.

[Dudebro]

It took me a minute to figure out who Norman Fell was(wikipedia helped too :-[). He was pretty funny too. Although he was the more homophobic of the two landlords.
BUT. He was a voice of two characters on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Small world right?

[sezthemank]

you know what was funny
but way before my time

MONKEY
(or monkey magic as its somthimes called)

I AM KING MONKEY - GREAT SAGE - EQUALL TO HEAVEN!

awww bless him and his lil flying cloud

[Tails]

he was a watered down Mr. Ferley but still when the Ropers made an appearence on the show after Ferley was landlord i was always like 'ZOMG ITZ THE ROPERS!!!!!!!!!! :D'

[randomcontributor]

Rocko's Modern Life and The Angry Beavers were the best.

Curse you Nickelodeon, you and your policies on not notifiying us when a show is cancelled.

[Stupid Flanders]

Right on! ;D

i hated when they kept on switching blonde roomates.


I hate it when shows/movies do that. >:( I mean, people are gonna notice! (frustrated sigh)

[Tails]

they switched roomates by putting it in the story but it got very old.

[V ideoY3K]

I so used to enjoy watching Get Smart, Dragnet, & Lancelot Link when they were on Nick-at-Nite.

Old Cartoons: I'm a big fan of Transformers G1 and other 80s action programs. 80s cartoons> todays cartoons. I loved the first few Johnny Bravo cartoons alot and Dexter's DA BOMB. I wish they did an O-Ratz series though.

Get Smart was on Nick at Nite?

[V ideoY3K]

Get Smart was on Nick at Nite?

Yes, it was. It was on there back in the 90s. Great fun.

[Tails]

I do not recall, was it early?

[TNTisKING]

Speaking of Nick-at-Nite, I hear that they are going to remake the old Nick show "Nickelodeon Guts" into a family edition this fall (kind of like how they made double dare into family double dare). Its been a long time since nickelodeon has had a real game show, I hope they don't screw this up.

Family Legends of the Hidden Temple! that would RULE!

[Timber Wolf]

lol im suprised no ones mentioned The Flinstones, or Scooby-Doo(the original, new versions sucked), but i watched pretty much anything cartoon as a kid
2 Stupid Dogs, Angry Beavers, Ed Edd & Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, some Sonic cartoon(that was poorly drawn i might add)Super Secret Squirel, Dexters Lab, Tom & Jerry, RoadRunner, Bugs Bunny, all the classics like that, Jonny Bravo, Pinky & The Brain, The Animaniacs, Freakazoid!, Sheep in the Big City, Rocko's Modern Life, and as ashamed as i am of it, i watched most of the shows Toonami used to air... lol i miss the good Cartoon Network, didn't watch much Nicklodeon

I forgot about Samurai Jack, Megas(lol it's a breakfast in Jim's diner) and probably something else to, but ill remember sometime

Yeah! Legends should have lasted way more than just 3 years, it was an amazing show. Doing the temple run was one of the things I dreamed about as a kid.

same here, i love the talking stone

EDIT: Timber Toonami rocked, do not be ashamed of it. Yu yu hakusho, Zoids: Chaotic Century, Dragonball, Dragon Ball Z, and many others were on it, hell if it was on everyday i would still watch CN.

[V ideoY3K]

Remember how they did Gundam Wing when they first put that on Toonami? They had cut & uncut versions. I wish s-Cry-Ed had the same treatment. I like the program, but with it didn't have any foul language in it.

[Tails]

Foul language is overrated though the plot is what matters, Yu yu hakusho first appeared on adult swim with uncut, when it went to toonami it was cut but it was still good.

[Timber Wolf]

lol, i never saw the un cut gundam wing, but the cut version was still awesome... wow, i misss being a kid sometimes...

[V ideoY3K]

lol, i never saw the un cut gundam wing, but the cut version was still awesome... wow, i misss being a kid sometimes...

You haven't missed a thing. I thought s-Cry-ed would be that way too, even if it had a cut version.

[Tails]

s-cry-ed was good, did they ever finish the series?

[V ideoY3K]

s-cry-ed was good, did they ever finish the series?

I thought it was finished already. Oh, well.

[Tails]

s-cry-ed was good, did they ever finish the series?

I thought it was finished already. Oh, well.
Was it a short anime? i havent watched Adult swim in ages.

[V ideoY3K]

It had 20-some episodes.

I haven't watched Adult Swim in 4 or 5 months myself. Can someone out there tell me if Ichigo & friends ever left the Soul Society yet on Bleach? I used to follow it very royally.

[rambo]

REN AND STIMPY!!!!! thats all that needs to be on TV for the rest of forever. not the new ones they suck...a LOT!

[Tails]

REN AND STIMPY!!!!! thats all that needs to be on TV for the rest of forever. not the new ones they suck...a LOT!
Wow, Rambo returns, cool ;D

anyways, i always disliked Ren and stimpy, what about the Snorks?

[Dudebro]

i always disliked Ren and stimpy
You're dead to me now.
You liked Snorks over Ren and Stimpy? :o

[Tails]

i always disliked Ren and stimpy
You're dead to me now.
You liked Snorks over Ren and Stimpy? :o
My mom always didn't let me watch the show so when i got older i didn't care for it. same with power rangers.

[Dudebro]

First you mention Snorks and Ren and Stimpy in the same sentence now power rangers? Are you trying to make me >:(?

[Timber Wolf]

lol power rangers, i remember owning the movie when i was like 5 or 6, lol that and toy story..... wow what was i smoking as a kid?

[Tails]

First you mention Snorks and Ren and Stimpy in the same sentence now power rangers? Are you trying to make me >:(?
nope trying to make you cry.

[count100]

if i missed it and someone said this one sorry, what about He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. and/or The legend of zelda which was part of the super mario bros. super show..

[Tails]

[V ideoY3K]

Super Mario Bros.(Original, 3, & World), Legend of Zelda, Captain N: The Gamemaster, & The Power Team. The video game cartoons were my favs back in the early 90s, and inspired me to do some comic books on them while I was still in school. Great stuff.

[Tails]

3, all stars, and world were the best mario shows

[ilovepandas]

doug was a pretty great show.
and so was hey arnold

[V ideoY3K]

We haven't talked about TV (not cartoon) programs in a while. Now the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? That's a true classic.

[CBearXLight]

My favorite is the classic Power Rangers seasons, but the new ones are great to watch. In addition, I liked Ninja Turtles, Doug, Rugrats, GUTS, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and Zoobilee Zoo. Furthermore, Zoobaroos like me were the Sproutlets of that time. The classics should be passed down from generation to generation and thanks to technology, they do.
