**** ! so many shows that I had completely forgotten about. So many memories flooding back

no ones mentioned Captain Planet

"Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart"

 

[Zarrix]

Johnson and Friends
Oakie Doke.
Rugrats
Arthur

The 90's had the best childrens cartoons, and it ain't nostalgia speaking either. Even taken out of my context, todays are just uncreative and lacking spark.

When were they ever on ABC?

Throughout the early 90's, it was ABC's version of The Simpsons (ie: shown many times @ 6pm).


I remember a lot of shows - leading with Couch Potato and The Afternoon Show.

Bananaman
Super Ted
Count Duckula
DANGER MOUSE!!
Sooty & friends
Vidiot
Finders Keepers (preferred the book)
Henry the Cat
You can't do that on television
Hunter (middle aged guy with a pet mouse).
Some science show hosted by Joe Mangle from Neighbours (PTY LTD - had some theme with "Infinity" lyrics)
Ship to Shore
Alvin & the chimpmunks

** Some random 5 minute clip of a cartoon drawn chicken/rooster moving around, while vision of real environments are playing in the background. I don't remember the name, but i can still recall the tune .



I did see Captain Planet and Rocko's Modern Life in their early stages (as well as Where's Wally), but it was also around the time where i stopped watching the channel for cartoons

Trapdoor with the plasticine monsters and AEIOU with the sand drawings were two others that havent been mentioned yet.

Read all about it was cool as well. We used to watch it in primary school

Trap Door

Astro Boy
Monkey Magic
Bananaman & Roger Ramjet

Inspector Gadget
Tin Tin
Wind in the willows
Mysterious cities of gold (I don't think this was on the ABC, but it was epic)

Me and my mates have just remembered an old abckids show that we've been quoting like mad for the last week.

It was called Stickin Around, and was just these stick figures going on wierd "adventures".

It was pretty shit, EXCEPT!!! For one freak of a character who would just scream shit for no reason. His main lines we're:

"HEY YOU GUUUUYYYYYYYYYSS!!!!!!!!!!!"
and
"HOLLLLLLLLY MACKERAL!!!!!!!!!!"

youtube it, so fricken funny.

Press Gang was another that was must watch. Only used to be on Fridays. I remember when they were held hostage by a gunman in a two part episode and I put notes all around the house to remember to watch it the next week.

Joshua Jones. Loved the theme song.

Pingu kicked arse

Rugrats was my favourite of the full length cartoons though. Great cartoon.
