"When I was your age..."

[KeybladeWarrior]

Inspector Gadget? Dang I feel old. O_O; Go Gadget go! Oh yeah I even remember Thomas the Tank Engine and Heatcliff. :X

[Mithrandir]

I spent a long time watching inspector gadget (and at the time there weren't a lot of toys that I recall). I used to run home from church on sunday night to watch that one!

[Tsukuyomi]

I never had any of the toys from cartoons 8( The only thing I had was a Mario plushy that a carny gave me for free, because I cried I was only like.. 3 or so We were at a fair and my mom won a teddy bear. My oldest sister ended up taking it before I could say I wanted it. I then broke down and started crying ^ ^; He felt really bad and gave me the Mario Plushie I do recall seeing other stuff from cartoons.

Sorry, kinda got off topic.. more then this already has ^ ^;

[mitsuki lover]

I had this Secret Squirrel doohickey once and I was dumb and left it on the
back seat and it kinda melted.But I think I was about 6 or so back then.

I've had a lot of younger kids come up to me and be really excited that a "big kid" watches the shows they do. When I was in elementary school, my friend's little brother and his friends would follow me around on the playground. They would ask me questions about Yugioh and ask to see my Japanese cards (I had the Magician of Black Chaos, Black Chaos Ritual, Dark Magician Girl, and two versions of the Dark Magician). I was pretty much the Yugioh guru there. I was the best duelist, too.

I work with a young autistic boy doing art therapy, and he loves anime. We talk about it all the time, and I bring in examples of characters for him to draw. It's really great.

But I have to admit, I do feel old when I watch some of the old cartoons. I was watching Inspector Gadget with my mom the other day, and it was pure nostalgia. The same thing happens whenever I hear the Sailor Moon theme song(which I can still sing word for word). It's nice, I really like it.

I used to always sing the Sailor Moon song to my niece when she was a baby.. then her littel brother when he was a baby So many sweet memories... 8(

[mitsuki lover]

There are just some theme songs that stick to us no matter how old we get.

There are just some theme songs that stick to us no matter how old we get.

I WANNA BE, THE VERY BEST. Like no one ever was. Da da da. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. Da da da da. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Da da da da. Each Pokemon, to understand, the power that's inside!

So corny now, yet so easy to remember.

Awwwwww, I loved that song And yes, I get the,"You know what Pokemon is "

[mitsuki lover]

Sometimes a theme song is all that we can remember about a series.

[Mithrandir]

There was an 80s show called "the greatest american hero" (or something similar) that fits into the "theme song category."

"Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air!"

[ADXC]

Yeah, I rememeber the very first season of Pokemon, me and my friend would always sing the theme song.


~Scooby-dooby-doo where are you, we've got some work to do now, scooby-dooby-doo I see you, you know we got to catch that villain~ (Or at least something along those lines.)

[soul alive]

Ah, yes. The good old cartoons. ^^

I remember My Little Ponies, Care Bears, GummiBears, Tale Spin, Rescue Rangers, all the old Disney and WB cartoon shorts, Super Friends, Captain Planet...
Just out of curiosity, to see how good/bad some of them were, I watched our old VHS tapes of the My Little Pony movie and Care Bears Alice in Wonderland movie a while back. MLP rots the brain - my dad talks about how he still gets twitchy when it's mentioned.
The Care Bears Wonderland movie isn't actually all that bad. ^^;

I was rather aghast to find that the Care Bears now on TV are CG.

[Tsukuyomi]

I remember watching one of the newer Care Bear movies on CN with my niece ^ ^ It was cute, but kinda corny It was just to see what it was about

Ooh, I just remembered the Rugrats version of Care Bears.. Dummy Bears

I think that's what they were called

[mitsuki lover]

Archie was fun.Before Kyosuke had problems deciding between Madoka and
Hikaru Archie had the same sort of problems deciding between Betty and
Veronica.
*Ponders*
I wonder if the creators of Kimagure Orange Road got their inspiration for the Kyosuke/Madoka/Hikaru triangle from the Archie/Betty/Veronica triange?

[Mithrandir]

I remember My Little Ponies, Care Bears, GummiBears, Tale Spin, Rescue Rangers, all the old Disney and WB cartoon shorts, Super Friends, Captain Planet... .

Of all the above, I think I spent more time watching Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers than any of the others. Some of the rest of them just excite me.

I'm STILL soured on the whole idea of the brain washing that was Captain Planet.

[Tsukuyomi]

Chip, Dale, Giget (sp), and that one dude with the stache. That was one of the cartoons I watched ever day \o.o/

I vaguely remember a show called "Maple Town and Me". Does anyone else remember it?

[Gabriel 9.0]

The cartoons I grew up watching were both GI Joe shows, Beast Wars nd other Transformers shows, Looney Toons, Rocko's Modern Life, All That, various other shows. I only watched a bit of anime back when I was 5 to 18. Such as Dominion Tank Police, a bit of Robobtech and Transformers G2:P.

My childhood was pretty good due to God despite just being raised by my mother. I'm very thankful to God I made it to my young adult life with his guidance and influence, and having a great mother:).

[soul alive]

True, true. I'm still at a loss about the fifth element of love, though... I always felt sorry for the poor kid, since everyone was always forgetting about his role.

I think besides Gidget on Rescue Rangers, Monterey Jack (with the 'stache) was my favorite, I seem to recall being rather insistent about eating Monterey Jack cheese because it went by the same name... *snerk*

[Tsukuyomi]

I remember Captain Planet. When I first saw it. It was like,"Ooh, Asian person \o.o/" There wasn't lot of Asian people.. in any tv shows back then. It was refreshing I remember He Man I watched all of those boy cartoons when younger, but yet.. I'm a girly girl

[Mithrandir]

:D

And then SNL came out with the cheesy music featuring the love song, "When loving lovers love." Which I always link by association. *shudders*

[Tsukuyomi]

I haven't watched SNL in a long long time. Anything new going on with that o.o?
