Remember When
Remember when tv was good? Remember when the NES was the hottest thing on the market? When everyone knew the theme song to Gummi Bears and every kid wanted Hungry Hungry Hippos?
I often think back to my childhood and remember when the cartoons were actually worth watching. They were fun, colorful, and generally wholesome. Good times. Remember these: He-Man, Ducktales, Gummi Bears, The Wuzzles, The Smurfs, Shirttales, Teddy Ruxpin, Jem and the Holograms, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite.
Well, I came across a site (RetroJunk) that allows you to walk down memory lane and view the intros to many of your favorite childhood shows from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s! Cartoons and regular shows…plus it has some retro commercials (including a couple about NES and its games). As my wife and I were perusing the shows/commercials, we found ourselves remembering shows that we had forgotten about completely! There are some obscure ones there (Foofur, Count Duckula, Eureeka’s Castle, Denver the Last Dinosaur, etc :D) Check out the site…its awesome ;)
Once cartoon that I’m bummed that they don’t have on there is the Monchhichi’s…that cartoon is sooo incredibly hard to find information on. It must have been pretty short lived. Anyone else remember that one?

Posted: Oct 13th, 2007 at 10:37 amReply to this comment.Munchichi was a decent cartoon. The one that bums me the most is Pirates of Dark Water. They never finished this cartoon and for those of us who actually watched it we never found out what happened. I’m waiting for them to leave us hanging on avatar next. That seems to be the M.O:(. Thundarr was awsome also, replayed on Boomerang some awhile back.

Posted: Dec 7th, 2007 at 10:58 amReply to this comment.the monchhichis were the most disgustingly cute thing to ever exist in our universe. I just got one for my girlfriend’s 1 year old cousin for christmas….and I can’t stop playing with it.
If the Air Force dropped monchhichi dolls instead of bombs, there would be absolute world peace within a month.

WOW, I remember most of thoes cartoons. The Gummie Bears and the Smufs were some of my favorite cartoons when I was young. But occasionally you can find The Smurfs late at night. Do also remember Fraggle Rock I was crushed when they stopped running that show. Thoes were the days.
