Really Big Shoe Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If I haven't had at least two coffees on a work day, don't even talk to me  Also... The Raccoons?! Fucking hell, what's next, the Jetsons? It's more obscure than the Flintstones, so why not? And there's no such cartoon as Orson's Farm, it's a segment of Garfield and Friends, as far as I know. I need a coffee. Raccoons isn't something which immediately comes to mind when you think of 80s/90s cartoons (TMNT, Ghosbusters, Garfield & Friends et al) & it doesn't really get mentioned on 80s TV 'member TV shows. Surprised it's so well remembered on here, but maybe because it was on BBC1. Although its #4 on this list: https://www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo/15-cartoons-from-the-80s-you-probably-forgot-existed?utm_term=.rbvjm5kOx#.ogLpvGw8j  I got mixed up with Orsons farm, it was actually Ox Tales (Geragera Būsu Monogatari). The superhero mouse cartoon I mentioned is actually a rat called "Ratfink" which is an old 60s cartoon. I guess Channel 4 got that and Mr Rossi on the cheap.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 30, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2016 Come on, that list has some more obscure stuff on it, but as well as disqualifying itself with The Raccoons, it has Bravestarr on it too.  I was surprised not to see Dungeons and Dragons on there.  I'm getting lots of these clickbait things on Facebook right now — "You won't believe how many people can't name any of these 80s shows from a single picture!!!". And the first picture of the last one I saw was The Golden Girls. Fuck's sake, I thought it was the Raccooooooons! I've put my job right on the line, my wife's gonna kill me!

hallicks Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Raccoons isn't something which immediately comes to mind when you think of 80s/90s cartoons Yes it is. Easily one of the first three I'd name. Spiral Zone, on the other hand. My nan got a VHS of it from some boot fair. Was it ever even shown on UK TV?

Guest Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Raccoons, while a decent cartoon in its own right, is etched in immortality by virtue of its closing credits. That's all you really needed with most kids' shows in the '80s and early '90s: a good theme tune. Everything in between was just padding of varying quality.

The ending credits was the epic Run With Us, which even warranted its own music video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usFFKNRB2z8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted December 1, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2016 Â Â Samurai Pizza Cats. Nobody (apart from Surf) seems to remember this show but it was ace, properly mental stuff. None of the episodes made any sense as I believe there was no English translation for any of the scripts when it came over so they just re-scripted everything based roughly on what was going on in the visuals. Add me to the list of Samurai Pizza Cats fans, I remember this being on Sky (Fox Kids, was it?) and loved it back in the day. Pizza shop owners by day.......samurais that got fired out of their gun shaped pizzeria by night, or something hah. Ppft Fox Kids. That was around 97/8. I member ITV showing it. 1992 ish on, I think, What's Up Doc. Â Obscure cartoon. Anyone member Mr Bogus, The Incredible Crash Dummies or the original X-Men cartoon which was a one of pilot from 1989. It was what the X-Men arcade game was based on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
