The Snorks!

Originally posted by RocShemp No, Zarkon was still bad. He was faking remorse while supplying his son (voiced by Tim Curry, if I recall correctly) with weapons and intel. Oh and I want (in no particular order) the following on DVD and/or wouldn't mind new shows that keep the spirit of the orignals: Transformers (with a new show based on Gen 1 and with all the surviving voice actors from the original show) Thundercats Voltron He-Man and The Masters of the Universe (already has a new show but I want both on DVD plus any/all unaired episodes of the original) But, please, keep the second He-Man animated series (you know the one I mean) dead and buried. G.I. Joe M.A.S.K. A retooled Visionaries GEM (don't laugh) Gatchaman Heathcliff The Ghostbusters and The New Ghostbusters The Smurfs There are others, I'm sure, but I can't remember. :( Oh and, last I heard, Saban had bought the rights to Voltron and simply modeled the Power Rangers after it. Oh and Voltron was really two old (separate) Japanese series that were run back-to-back in the US and dubbed and re-named Voltron for US syndication purposes. |
How about Mighty Orbots
that was a great show... |
I remember an animated series based on the books about The Littles I would love to see that show again.

Originally posted by Captain Harlock I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version G.I. Joe. Using the new He Man animation on Cartoon Network. This time they could do it a little edgier. If you watch the old G.I. Joe's they are like a 30 minute infomercial for the toys. The best ones are still the two mini-series. And no I don't mean like G.I. Joe Extreme. I know how bad that was. I have no other details. |

I'm almost embarrassed...
The Mr. T cartoon (with him and the gymnasts) and Kidd Video |
How about Robotech? This is my all-time favorite cartoon. Supposedly they are working on a Robotech 2004 that is going to be a continuation of the origional series.
I know many of you are Macross purists, but I prefer Robotech. |
If anybody's really interested in an update of some of the 80s cartoons, go to your local comic shop. For the past year or 2, one of the biggest things in comics have been updates of 80s cartoons.
It started with Transformers. An artist who makes his art look like it came straight out of an anime movie drew the first miniseries and it outsold every other comic that year. Since then, all the major properties have come back including: GI-Joe, He-Man, Thundercats, Battle of The Planets, and Voltron. There's actually 2 GI-Joe vs. Transformer miniseries coming out. One of my favorite artists is drawing one of them and that series is going to be the first of these nostalgia comics that I buy. In addition to amazing art, it's got a cool setting (WWII) and a decent writer. |
'The Real Ghostbusters'
|
Tigersharks
Street Frogs Anyone remember these? |
Around 84 I saw a dubbed anime movie with a giant robot that was called dynamo. I've never been able to find info on it. So I'd like to see that make a comeback so I could find what the heck it was.
I also wouldn't mind seeing a few episodes of Tranzor Z or the Gobots again. |
Originally posted by brianluvdvd I always thought that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a rip-off of Voltron. Originally posted by RocShemp Oh and, last I heard, Saban had bought the rights to Voltron and simply modeled the Power Rangers after it. Nope... Power Rangers is dubbed from <a href="http://www.supersentai.com/database/index.html">Super Sentai</a> and it has been running since 1975 in Japan, before Voltron came along. The first Sentai series to become Americanized (aka Mighty Morphing Power Rangers) was Zyuranger (1992), but Sentai still beats out Voltron! So sorry folks, Voltron not so original after all eh? :) As for 80s cartoons I want back... Well really only He-Man and She-Ra. So come on Mattel, add the hot twin sister. |
Okay I must admit I just stumbled on this thread, after reading through everyones' ideas I would like to throw my $1.25 into the ring. In no particular order:
Snorks Cops MASK Voltron (both the lions and spacecraft episodes) Robotech He-Man Transformers Go Bots Thundercats Heathcliff Fat Albert GI Joe oh hell the entire USA Cartoon Express, you all know what I mean if you were in the US in the 80s. |
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show...
"Overture, curtains, lights...this is it, we'll hit the heights. Who knows what heights we'll hit? On with the show, this is it!" |

Originally posted by sho kosugi Which Super Sentai had Spider-man? I couldn't find him on the website. So what is considered the first Japanese show, either animated or live action, that has a 5 member team forming a big machine? Gatchaman? Gatchaman was 1972 I think... and I do believe it was the first to have the team forming a big machine. |
These have been mentioned with some type of excuse or disclaimer. Don't be ashamed!
GEM Mr. T Snorks I also liked, Strawberry Shortcake and the Inhumanoids. |
Man, I forgot all about Bravestarr...Thirty-Thirty kicked ass.
I think I remember the themesong: "Bravestar...BRAVESTAR!" "Eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolf." "Bravestar...BRAVESTAR!" "Strength of the bear, speed of the PUMA!" Shoot me now. |

I totally forgot about MASK. I would love to see that again. I would also like to see the following make a comeback:
The Smurfs Captain Caveman (and Son!) Maybe even GEM...I think that I got into watching that when I went to my girlfriends house after school when she was babysitting... |
Quite a few of those listed above, and I'll add Danger Mouse.
At least I remember enjoying it when I was younger. |
