I took my cartoons very seriously. Saturday mornings were my (& my brother's) time, that and after school til 5 when the news came on. Then it was grownup time. we could watch, but didn't care for it. I did like Trapper John, MD, Knotts Landing, Dallas, Falconcrest & Dynasty. I also watched USA's UP All Night with Rhonda Schear & Gilbert Godfried when I couldn't sleep at night. I remember Night Tracks too. WOW. now that was memory lane.

The 80's produced a lot of Molly Ringwald fans. & M.J. Fox or Alex P Keaton. Oh yeah and everyone in the 'brat pack'.

 

[Winslow Leach]

Family Guy did a funny parody of Back to the Future last night, in which Peter goes back to the 80s and tries to get Lois to fall in love with him instead of Quagmire. There was also a cameo from Roger the alien of American Dad.

Going back to the He-Man figures collection,

Did anyone have Battle-Punch He-Man? He was loaded with caps, and you'd snap his waist back for a bang. I loved him as a kid!

I also had the Lion-O and Mumra (sorry if I misspelled that) action figures from Thundercats where you could make their eyes light up with a little gizmo and also push a lever on their backs to make their arms move. Fun memories.... Anyone else have those?

 

[muppet baby]

I know what you mean, Michelle by staring to say "remember when". I never though I would be saying things like that, but I find myself saying it more and more ofter. I makes me start to feel like I'm getting up there.

~ I had that He-Man. One of my toy box's in the playroom was filled with He-Man stuff. My mom took away my slime pit b/c I spilled [not so much spilled as dropped] on the carpet. That stuff, not so easy to clean. My favs were Whiplash & Teelah. Whiplash because he had a long tail & could take out a whole gang of Care Bears & thier cousins when you twisted his waist & let go. Castle Gray Skull was constantly being overrun with those pesky Care Bears. & Teelah because she just looked cool with the cobra hood helmet thing & the cobra staff. Beast-Man scurred me a lil, & I would venture to say, still does. What was He-man's lions name when he got THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL in him? I know his scurrdy cat name is Cringer.

~ Yeah, Cheetara's legs kicked.. or ran, I suppose. I loved Meowth. or was it Snarf? no it was Snarf. Meowth is Pokemon.

~ curious ~

THUNDERCATS ACTION FIGURES? I had no idea they existed! Awesome!

I didn't like their tank thing with the claws in the front. I do have a Thundercat belt buckle that I adore!
