I mean, come on, you had Kaptain Kool and the Kongs (starring Michael Lembeck and Bert Sommer and Louise Duart) plus Dr. Shrinker, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (go go Diedre Hall), Wonderbug, Magic Mongo and Bigfoot and Wonderboy. Plus throw in H.R. Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost, The Bugaloos, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters (excellent Rush cover band btw), Far Out Space Nuts (starring Gilligan), and the Lost Saucer. Sorry..tangential reference there...I tend to get lost in fond memories thinking about psychotropic drug induced television. More to the point...there hasn't been a good new cartoon created since Camp Candy. And Stephen..you KNOW you wated the All New Ewok Adventures..admit it. Okay…so for 80’s cartoons:

The ubiquitous Dungeons and Dragons

Fraggle Rock (okay so not technically a cartoon and you had to have HBO but still)

Kwicky Koala

Richie Rich (read the comics too)

Voltron

The Hair Bear Bunch

Foofur (my sister watched it)

The Get Along Gang (again blame my sister)

Jeff: I watched both The Mighty Orbots and Automan. I remember the SciFi Channel launching with no real content, so they showed episodes of Automan a lot. treeva: I saw ads for the Get-Along Gang, but never watched it.

I love how Cursor gets a credit. :) I also never knew that Desi Arnaz Jr. starred in the show. Then there’s also Automan. I love how Cursor gets a credit. :)

I give you <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=0qiFRD0NLzY" rel="nofollow">The Might Orbots</a>. There's actually another Youtube link that has the long version of both the theme song and the transformation sequence. I'm going to save that for a Sliding Constant post, though. It triggered a lot of thoughts and memories. :) Stephen, you know good and well I could go on for hours about 80’s cartoons and action shows. :) I won’t do so, but the post did remind me to go look up one that not everyone at lunch on Sunday remembered.

My nickname going up was Bogey. I also loved watching Pandamonium too. I guess have a soft stop for cartoons with talking animals. Did you ever see the Get-along-gang. Very cool 80's cartoon.

What was the one with the small fuzzy round things that lived in the giant tree? This is quite possibly not specific enough. Shirt Tales was totally awesome.
