Cartoons We Have Known & Loved

Sam & Max... yet another FOX victim.

[Reply #81 on:]

And another Lucasarts triumph

[Reply #82 on:]

  Probably already on here if wu_kong got there first, and I can't really be bothered to check, but the thundercats is the best ever cartoon.  I mean, how many other cartoons had Mr T and (rather stupid) evil mutants in them?

[Reply #83 on:]

Incidently Mr T was not on the show it's just that Dark Prince believes that's one of the characters was like Mr T.

[Reply #84 on:]

Sigh, remember that Alvin & The Chipmunks episode with Mr. T? Man, that rocked.

P.S. I haven't heard anything since it was first announced, but there's supposed to be a new Sam & Max game coming out at some point. Also, the creator Steve Purcell is working as an artist at Pixar or something. I hope he gets Steve Jobs drunk at some point and convinces him to greenlight a Sam & Max movie. That would be so cool.

Anyone remember "Count Duckula"?  It was about a vegetarian vampire duck.  Good stuff. 

It was from the makers of "Danger Mouse" and it played on Nick in the late 80s.

[Reply #86 on:]

Yeah, Count Duckula was the best.

"I'LL get it!"

[Reply #87 on:]

Count Duckula ROCKS!! I got a video of Count Duckula for my 7th birtday and I've still got it! He's ACE 

[Reply #88 on:]

I remember count duckula! I dont think i really liked it...but i remember it.   

[Reply #89 on:]

I rented these videos from Blockbuster when I was a kid, they were about a platypus named Ovid and his friends who lived in an island. I thought it rocked, even though I didn't see the original TV show. I think it was a Canadian show.

[Reply #90 on:]

  I've still got some Count Duckula mugs.  Mind you I also have a fraggle rock beaker, and a Roland Rat and friends cup.

[Reply #91 on:]

I watched my Count Duckula video last night and Its even better now than it was when I was 7..hehe  One of the episodes was where he stayed at a hotel and it was a Fawlty Towers rip-off with John Cleese voicing the hotel manager..it was ACE  :)I'd never realised that before..but then again I was only 7 and never heard of John Cleese or Fawlty Towers before

I canNOT believe I forgot the entire Squigglevision line. All gone today, save for Home Movies on Cartoon Network, which I don't get here IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST CITIES IN AMERICA rat bastard cable company.

Squigglevision/Science Court ran on ABC's One Saturday Morning and FX ran two seasons of The Dick & Paula Celebrity Special, which I worshipped--but the crowning glory was Comedy Central's Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist. They all just up and died one by one--Katz's final season was run as a one-night marathon, and then it disappeared without one word of warning or explanation. To this day I do not know what happened.

I swore if that ever happened to a 'toon I loved again, I would unleash such carnage upon the people responsible as to make Pinhead and Freddy Krueger blow their lunches.

(cough)

The Squigglevision shows -- find Dr. Katz and run the clip! This guy was busted at San Francisco International Airport for trying to grab a rifle away from a National Guardsman. (I like him, he's funny, but he's a complete knothead.)

[Reply #93 on:]

Squigglevision was fun, but I prefer HOme Movies to Dr. Katz. Too much reliance on stand-up comic guests, who are often just not funny.

BTW, anybody see "Saddle Rash", their latest offering?

FOX: Oh, a dog and a rabbit, I'm like, so not interested. 

Sam: Max, show him what we think of that.

Max: MMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR R!!! 

*random fighting noises and screams*

Max I think that punk learn't a valuable lesson today!

Sam So did I Max! I never knew the lower lip could extend all the way over the head!

If only...

I didn't watch the cartoon much but the game is one of my most favourite ever.

[Reply #95 on:]

G.I. Joe, Transformers, Captain Planet, Ren & Stimpy, James Bond Junior, Foofur, Freakazoid, The Tick, Duckman, Star Trek: The animated series, ...

Oh yes, Duckula, and the Ghost Busters cartoon series, and the X-men.

[Reply #97 on:]

By the Power of Grayskull!  He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.  A true classic.  Not forgetting Dangermouse, Count Duckula, Tiny Toons, Victor & Hugo, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, Dilbert, Duckman, Ghostbusters.

Dr. Katz rocked, but yeah, most of the stand-up comedians were just lame. They should have focused more on Katz and his son(played by the same guy who does Coach McGuirk, if I'm remembering right. He's such a funny bastard). And also the secretary, she was pretty good.

I remember thinking of Home Movie as just "ok" when it first played on UPN, but for some reason I loved it as soon as I saw it on Cartoon Network. The new flash animation took a couple episodes to get used to, but the show is still hilarious. Coach McGuirk almost killing that disabled kid was was one of the funniest/most disturbing moments ever.

Never heard of it. What's it about? And when/what channel is it on?

[Reply #99 on:]

Saddle Rash was a pilot for a new cartoon about a town in the Old West. It aired about a month ago, and I bet they'll eventually rerun it.

I've only seen the UPN episodes. Are the character's hands still crazy--the same color as their shirt sleeves, like all their shirts and jackets had "jammie-feet"? That's what I had the biggest problem adjusting to...

No matter how lame a guest could get on Dr. Katz or Dick & Paula, you could always count on the animators to save it. Ray Romano would still be nobody if it weren't for the good doctor.

Dr. Katz made a guest appearance on South Park, being killed by a giant fireworks "snake."

[Reply #101 on:]

Dr. Katz, Home Movies and Dick and Paula all rocked.  It's too bad that there's only one out of three left now. 

[Reply #102 on:]

I can't believe I left out Dilbert!
Terrific show.  I was actually never a fan of the Dilbert comic strips, but the show captured so much smart humor I was left delirious afterwards.  A big shame the DVD never came to the states and UPN pulled the plug....

Edit: It's good to see other Sam & Max fans!  If they ever made a movie *faints*

Hey does anyone remember the animated series in which some character (possibly "Eric", I 'm not sure) always collapses in a very special way:  He starts hyperventilating, one of his veins swells, goes round his neck and strangles him.  All the episodes end like that.  This cartoon series may be British.

Another cartoon: some weird creature, of which one end is a cat, and the other end is a dog.

That first cartoon you were talking about is called "Stressed Eric" and the other one is called "catdog"

[Reply #105 on:]

Thanks 

Other cartoons I remember: the X-men (not X-men evolution).

I used to love Duckman.  The way he sometimes slaughtered those annoyingly cute teddybears...  I say Duckman could have been a success.

[Reply #106 on:]

BTW, "Saddle Rash" airs again this Sunday.

[Reply #107 on:]

Yeah I saw a commercial for that...it looks scary.

[Reply #108 on:]

Sam and Max rule!


 

[Reply #109 on:]

I like Dr Katz, even if I do have to watch it in spanish...

[Reply #110 on:]

Katz en español? Oy gevalt.

Sam & Max are cool. I remember in one episode, there was a part where Max made the lights go out by clapping his hands.

One of the cartoons that aired when I was 4 years old was "The Super Mario Bros. Super show" which was based on Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 2. I had always dreamed of being a guest star on the live action segments. Now with my Mario cartoons DVD, I will never be Marioless again...

[Reply #112 on:]

I realy like The Adventures Of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[Reply #113 on:]

Yeah, it's brilliant. Craptastically animated, but brilliantly written.

[Reply #114 on:]

Sam & Max rocked. I even had a computer game with them, and they had voice acting!
