I remember that show. It never made sense to me, but that's probably because I was a lot younger.

Yeah, I been watching it since I was like, 9. (Back when they were still making it) I think I understood most of it, but there were some things I never understood until I was alot older.

MANX CAT with ghosts (Nickelodeon Special Delivery)

On the Nickelodeon show Special Delivery they played an animated special/movie called "MANX CAT" about a (blue?) cat and some ghosts...but I can't find anything about it online!

PS I also loved that short "Housecats" and the shows "Little Koala" and "Noozles."...but if I had to pick one of the three, I'd say "Little Koala"...it was just so sweet (and not the hipster "sweet" either).

There are a few animated shows on Mtv or were on Mtv that I find to be underratted. I think it has something to do with these shows airing on Mtv, which by that time and still to this day only teenage girls really watch it. I'm talking about 3 South and Clone High, I thought these shows are so funny, but sadly I think it played to the wrong audience,:sympathy:.

Well, I kinda like The Replacements :embarrassed:, but it only comes on at midnight, so I'm not able to watch it too much. Also, Recess was great, and they do still air it, just incredibly late at night. :stick_out_tongue: And also, since both of those are Disney Channel series, I guess I should mention how much I miss Johnny and the Sprites. It started about a year or so after I lost interest in the preschooler-targeted type shows, but I still loved it. Too bad it doesn't come on now when I'm able to tape it. :sympathy:


Also, does anyone know if Life with Derek still comes on?

I stopped liking the Replacements after they redid the animation. They all got weirdly tan. Life with Derek is on at like 11 at night sometimes, that was good. Thanks Canada!

(I'll post my own after I read the rest to see if they've been mentioned. I'm pretty mainstream, current TV-wise.)

Recess was actually quite popular, I don't believe it would be considered obscure, let alone "unknown", lol.

LOL, well, it's not quite that popular these days unless you're somebody who watched it back then. (Why don't they have awesome shows like that anymore? Kids could actually relate to those plots and stories, unlike all this "secret-celebrity double identity" stuff. :stick_out_tongue:)

Recess earned the title of nostalgic epic win a few days ago on onceuponawin. :big_grin: It was cool. The only thing I can think of that no one knows is this series of videos (tehnically doesn't count) called Wee Sing. LOVED THEM. Especially Wee Sing in Sillyville!
