Longhaul 6,839 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 (edited) I remember staying up all night on Fridays and Saturdays watching this: I thought the New Wave Theater segment was great! (This was one of the ways I got to see music videos because my cable company didn't carry MTV) Edited June 24, 2018 by Longhaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longhaul 6,839 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 I recall a few of those. I'm surprised Count Duckula didn't make your list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the kids they had on that show were morons. You wanted to reach through the TV and strange them. 7 minutes ago, Longhaul said: I do. Loved that show. He was our science guy before Bill Nye.

Longhaul 6,839 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 Just now, Twilight Luna said: He was our science guy before Bill Nye. Most definitely. Just got a big rush for a lot of those shows. NBC had: The Smurfs, Mister T, The Snorks, Kidd Video, Alvin & the Chipmunks, ALF: The Animated Series, The Gummi Bears, and the animated Fraggle Rock series. ABC had: Bugs Bunny Show (titles changed over the years, but they constantly showed old Warner Bros. cartoons), Heathcliff, Pac-Man, Super Friends, and Rubik: The Amazing Cube, to name a few, along with their Weekend Specials. CBS had: Teen Wolf, Saturday Supercade (cartoon shorts with Donkey Kong, Frogger, Pitfall Harry (from the Activision game Pitfall!), Donkey Kong, Jr, and Q*Bert), Pee-Wee's Playhouse, The Get Along Gang, Garfield and Friends, and Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling, with In The News segments in between shows. NOTE: This is just a small sampling of what was on in the 80s, there's tons more that I either can't remember or didn't list here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparklefan1234 169,891 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 If this counts, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (1987) is my favorite cartoon from the 1980's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pripyat Pony 2,608 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 Eh, never really watched the cartoon Ghostbusters, think it clashed with something else. We only had one TV back then, remember?

It happens to a lot of shows like that, they hit a point of saturation. Here's a new topic: Anyone have memories of going to the rollerskating rink? I use to go with some friends of mine from the neighborhood on Friday nights. It was a nice way to have fun and hear all that great music we loved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pripyat Pony 2,608 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 I lived in a tiny village so we didn't have anything like that. Instead, we'd all go down the playing field and play football or rounders, then go catch the ice cream van. XD 1 Signature and avatar by Pucksterv.
