Anti- Nostalgia. Cartoon shows from your youth that are completely Terrible.

[TheZeroMan]

Ok There have been a few threads now about kids shows from the past that you fondly remember. But what about the ones that you've seen now or realized where just crap on a stick?

I got a few. This will crucify me, but is true. The Original Teenage Muntant Ninja turtles show was horrid past the first season. The Shredder and Krang were horrible villians. Infact any villian from that show or even error were just jokes. It was the age of the too cool for school hero, with wise cracks. A wisecracking hero is good but not always.

The Shredder was like Cobra Commander and Skeletor combined but 3x a loser.

I like Equal footing villian, sure they lost all the time but Megatron was damn menacing. As was Skeletor initially.

I didn't realize how bad the old series was until I saw the new series which is light years better.

Perhaps the Worst Cartoon show ever was the Super Friends. Just simplistic Politically correct trash.

Ren and Stimpy had moments, but for me they were few and far between.

Scooby Doo is horrible.The series form the 60s 70s or whaterever. Its only slightly better than the new Scooby Doo which had the demonic Scrappy doo.

The Pup Named Scooby Doo is the third member of this trilogy from hell.

I cut the Scooby Doo movies slack because of the guests.

Who were the Street Sharks trying to fool? And on that Note the same people as the Biker Mice from Mars. These where just garbage.

[Zweihander]

Who were the Street Sharks trying to fool? And on that Note the same people as the Biker Mice from Mars. These where just garbage.

Not to mention the Mighty Ducks series. They're aliens, from a planet that uses hockey as religion.

Something I remember being on Cartoon Network when the network premiered was the Godzilla show. God, that sucked.

[Mr. Wind-Up Bird]

Superfriends is bad because you aren't watching it correctly (http://www.seanbaby.com/superfriends/drink.htm)

Widget the World Watcher and Captain Planet are responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.

Didn't the Street Sharks have an Orca? What was up with that?

[dragonglove]

I remember the Legend of Zelda cartoon being really cool, so I bought it when it was released to dvd. Never watch that. It will kill any love for Zelda you once had. The only good thing about it, was the cheezy 8-bit sounds taken directly from the game.

[h4x.m4g3]

Superfriends is bad because you aren't watching it correctly (http://www.seanbaby.com/superfriends/drink.htm)

Its much better that way, yes indeed.
Anything I watched before school street sharks, beetlejuice, anything that fit a 6 A.M. weekday morning slot.
Captain planet must die, I couldn't even watch it as a kid.
GIGANTO! Anyone who woke up by 5:30 A.M. and watched Sci-FI knows this was a giant robot with no personality. GIGANTO!
And much much more

[Windrift-RPG]

Gahahaha, do you guys remember The Toxic Avengers? Oh man, what a total piecer.

[MP37a]

Ok I didn't like the Thundercats at all. Haha and I forgot all about Toxic Avenger that wasn't that good either.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

The Smoggies. Try that one on fer size.

Denver the Last Dinasaur.

Rosanne. Or something ... it was a cartoon about Rosanne Barr. When she was younger ... she was still fat, by the way.

James Bond Jr. "It's Bond! James Bond! Jr.!" *shudders*

Visionaries.

Puttnam's Prarie Emporium.

That show about the rock stars that turned into giant troll doll things ... fought crime ... made my head bleed through my eyes ...

Dear god! So many bad shows ... *crawls into a corner and convulses violently*

[reality_deviant]

*shrugs* I really like cheesy old cartoons. Horrible one-liners just make my day. The Mario Brothers Super Show was wholly without merit, but I found myself compelled to watch it, morning after morning...

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Sharky & George

If you know what I am talking about you know how horrible it was.

It's like Shermans Lagoon on Crack meets Chicago the Musical.

[ryuuseinosolitude]

Let's go farther back then that, to our parents time, did you see what happened to astro boy? I read the very first american comic cause my dad has it, watched the show on cartoonnetwork and almost puked on myself. It was completely different, it killed the show!

Thundercats was great when I was young. I used to love Tigra. Then a few years passed without it, then it came back on. Again I almost puked.

Does anyone remember rebot? the storyline wasn't all that great, but the theme and some of the stuff that happened was funny. I think it was the last episode, where they did a pun to Sailor moon and the SM....thing was squashed and the others were looking around pretending it didn't happen.

I used to love the Super Marios Brothers Cartoon, but it was so long ago and I didn't see to many, that I forgot about it.

A Pup named Scooby doo was ok...but they didn't make enough episodes. I could repeat all the lines verbaitum...

I like Tiny Toon Adventures..in fact I'm watching it right now. I Barely ever see the same episode twice. But I don't mind it's still funny non-the-less.

[Mr. Wind-Up Bird]

Gahahaha, do you guys remember The Toxic Avengers? Oh man, what a total piecer.

I've seen the Toxic Avenger movie and I seriously question why someone decided it would make a good children's show. Troma movies != quality children's programing.

Also, there was an MC Hammer TV show. He had shoes that talked and gave him magic powers.

[Aerozord]

most that you mentioned I liked. Of course when I was young my veiwing time was right before and after school. Also I had trouble knowing when shows were on so it was hit or miss. I mainly watched those shows because of lack of options and it doesn't take much to entertain a 8 year old (PS I missed the Barney era by about a year so I had some standerds). But a few shows I refused to watch. Keep in mind that there are most likely others but thanks to repressed memories I cant remember how horrible they are. Only ones I can really recall are Ren n Stimpy and Bevis and Butthead. My mom would let us watch it but frankly I didn't want to. It was one of those shows little kids watched because it made them think they were more adult. It was just too stupid.

Oh and I am not including little kid shows because I was too old for them when they came out and am Biast

[Outbounder]

G.I. Joe was horrible.

When TMNT moved to CBS or whatever and they really stopped fighting and put morals into it, it got bad.

Captain Planet was so bad it was kind of funny, but not really.

And it's not really fair to look back now and say that they were so ridiculously bad because you're so much older. They're made for children, so they're really very simple and whatnot. I responded to this with memories from when I was younger. I remember thinking those shows were horrible then.

[Aerozord]

I agree with outbounder. You cant but your current standerds on the old shows. Alot of you are saying when I look back. I looked at what I used to and still do hate

[GatoFiero]

The mario brothers show stank to high heaven.

Come on everybody, do the mario! (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/dothemario.php)

[In Hindsight]

James Bond Jr. "It's Bond! James Bond! Jr.!" *shudders*

Thank you for rekindling a burning and profound hatred that I had thought previous to the opening of this thread, had been extinguished and forgotten for the last eleven or twelve years. Now, I'm going to go get (more) drunk and make something explode to try and forget again.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Happy I could help out!

And, to prevent misunderstanding, I thought every show on my list suxxorzd even back then.

Including the Mega Man Cartoon show that was out in like ... 95-96!

[Kenryoku_Maxis]

Copied from another forum where the same topic came up:

Pirates of Dark Water

"Hi, I'm Ren and I have a broken Sword! My dad gave me this sword, which got broke while he was fighting an Orge who attacked and killed him. So I use it all the time as my weapon and I go around fighting Orcs who sail around on ships. Oh, except I don't do any fighting because I HAVE A BROKEN SWORD! I let all my 'friends' do the fighting as I command them to do stuff, eventhough I know nothing of the world I live in and am USING A BROKEN SWORD! Oh yeah, my dad died USING THE SWORD....that's why I use it."

"Oh yeah, I have a BROKEN sword."

Myself: "You know, Link had a broken sword.....and then he GOT IT FIXED!"

Oh yeah, and the main guy looks alot like TIdus in FFX.

[BitVyper]

Why hasn't the eighties Hulk cartoon been mentioned yet? I think the entire series together had maybe one single frame of animation. This isn't even mentioning that the Hulk was apparently capable of flight, as he hung in the air for about ten full seconds while saying goodbye to the Avengers before slowly hovering away. Then there was the theme song. What in god's name were they thinking with that little jingle? Was it supposed to make viewers collapse in a fit of giggling?

I still watch it for pure comedy value, but only with friends.

[Fabricated]

Flintstone Kids, every Scooby Doo series ever, M.A.S.K. (ignoring the toys, which fucking rocked)...most of the other ones I hated have been mentioned already. I would've mentioned Tiny Toons, but they had an episode featuring music from They Might Be Giants, so they win.

There were some diamonds in the rough, but most of those got cancelled since those in charge have no taste in cartoons. Freakazoid, The Twisted World of Felix (really random and messed up considering how old the character is), animaniacs, etc.

[Ravenhurst]

There were some diamonds in the rough

Don't forget the Spiderman and X-men cartoons on Fox, they were the shiznizITE! I wonder why they don't bring them back, given all the godawful spinoffs they've made (X-men Evolution, Spiderman 2099, etc.)

[Outbounder]

They've been showing the old spiderman cartoons on Toon Disney or something lately. Probably because of the movie.

[ryuuseinosolitude]

yes everything spiderman is just part of the phase...

[Jack's Smirking Revenge]

Let's see here.

Thundercats
The Snorkels
Dinosaucers
The Ghostbusters cartoon with the giant ape.

Some of the worst B-movie voice acting that I've ever heard has come from the Thundercats.

Liono: Oh! Look! There. Is. A. Pond. I think. I'll. Go. For. A. Swim!
Snarff, Snarff! Liono! Why do you sound like William Shattner??

Blech.

The first episode of TMNT was freaking great, but every episode after that was terrible, IMO.

Does anyone remember the name of that Transformers Rip-off show?

[Aerozord]

can you describe said "transformers Rip-off show"?

[Death Dealer]

I think he's talking about Voltron, a mighty large steamer.

I never did like TMNT or any of the other Superhero shows when I was a kid...but I did like the mario supershow and the Super Mario cartoon...and the old Dark Sonic cartoon with Uncle Chuck..but anyway.

I also REALLY REALLY REALLY (yeah, that badly) hate the Light sonic they play on Toon Disney all the time. It had few redeeming qualities.

[Dragonsbane]

virtually every Scooby-Doo show, Josie and the Pussycats, all of those crappy "teen crimefighting group" shows sucked to high heaven.

[h4x.m4g3]

virtually every Scooby-Doo show, Josie and the Pussycats, all of those crappy "teen crimefighting group" shows sucked to high heaven.

You forgot the worst one of them All Jab Jab Jab Jab Jab Jab Jabberjaw.

[redbead]

Alot of shows that have been mentioned, I liked, but alot more I hated...

But there was one that won't leave my memory, because it was so bad... Tears come to my eyes when I remember it... Richie Rich...

It's aim was simple: "All problems can be solved when you have enough money!" Bleh, it was worst than when the TMNT kept going into space, an idea which they (stupidly) stole from Josie and the Pussycats...

It also seemed slightly Communist, but that's a whole different topic/thesis paper on the attempts of old TV shows brainwashing America's youth...

[Arlia Janet]

I think I am a little bit older than the average person here, but let's see what I remember:

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES. I don't even remember the plot of this show. All I remember is a tomato that would jump up and crush cars. If I remember correctly, there was a video game.

Thundercats. (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/thundercats.html) (CAUTION: Strong Language!!)

He-Man. The original cartoon was not only corny and homo-erotic, it didn't make much sense. Adam (I think that's his name) would hop behind a bush and summon the power of Grey Skull. A huge lightning bolt would come down and make him He-Man. Then at the end of the show, they used this dialogue every time.
"Gee Adam, you missed He-Man again."
"Oh Drat. Maybe next time." (Wink at the camera)

Tailspin I wanted to cloud surf more than anything on earth. Now, I know that cloud surfing would mean certain death. Even if you could do it, how the hell would you get back in the plane?

Transformers (Don't hate me for this). "Megatron is stealing the world's energy source which is in the form of a microchip."
"What? That doesn't exist. That doesn't even make sense."
"Oh." On a side note, I think College University (http://www.collegeuniv.com/html/) has Optimus Prime's character down perfectly.

GI Joe the Movie Cobra's dreaded weapon was the BET. Need I say more.

James Bond Jr. Can someone please find the theme song? Nothing can so poignantly display the crappiness of the show as the song.

The Littlest Pet Shop I never wanted to baby-sit ever again after wasting an hour of my life on that thing.

Captain Planet Am I the only one who thinks that the planeteers are eco-terrorists?

Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry just suck. They aren't funny. They aren't clever, and it's the same thing over and over again. How can a 1-ounce mouse over power a fully grown cat? I saw one episode where Jerry and a baby-mouse were Musketeers, and they got Tom beheaded!! They see the guillotine go down, and one says to the other in French, "Poor Poor Pussycat. Oh Well!"

Eeek the cat was good, but the Terrible Thunderlizards and Klutter ruined the show.

Also, Nickelodeon had terrible girly shows that I loved. I remember one show had two magical koalas that could only communicate with this one girl. The show ended with the koalas using two magical crystals to stop some evil.

That's about it. A special thanks to Acolyte for helping me compile this list.

[Mr. Wind-Up Bird]

Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry just suck. They aren't funny. They aren't clever, and it's the same thing over and over again. How can a 1-ounce mouse over power a fully grown cat? I saw one episode where Jerry and a baby-mouse were Musketeers, and they got Tom beheaded!! They see the guillotine go down, and one says to the other in French, "Poor Poor Pussycat. Oh Well!"

Tom and Jerry depends on who directed it. If it was Hanna Barbera then it was awful. If Chuck Jones did it was was awesome.

[ryuuseinosolitude]

*sings* ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! ...the movie came first I used to love that show.....FT is so cute. I ave a stuffed FT (ft stands for fuzzy tomtoes....he must be moldy) and FT was a good guy awwww *cuddles ft plushie*

Tomo and Jerry is a good way to kill an hour when you're waiting for something. I like the really old christmas ones, cute.

[swordmaster]

This show sucks so bad that is is hard for me to even type it. Sailor Moon. Holy Shit. The entire show went like this- Evil dude appears, cat-someone evil is her sm-ill just shoot my tiara at it! That makes me sick.

[Ravenhurst]

Anyone remember Pepe le Pew? (or however you spell it) I believe Dave Chappelle, in his standup, offers the best review of that bizarre little old cartoon:

"I was with my nephew, and we were sitting there watching Pepe le Pew, and I said to my nephew, 'Now pay attention to this guy cuz he's funny, I used to watch him when I was little.' And we watched the Pepe le Pew, and I'm like, 'Good God, what kinda fuckin' rapist is this guy? Take it easy fella!' My nephew was sitting there cracking up, 'heeheeheehee, see, sometimes you gotta take the pussy. Like Pepe!' Oh, I had to turn the channel real quick."

Good old Dave Chappelle, gives you a whole new outlook on life.

[Dragonsbane]

This show sucks so bad that is is hard for me to even type it. Sailor Moon. Holy Shit. The entire show went like this- Evil dude appears, cat-someone evil is her sm-ill just shoot my tiara at it! That makes me sick.

I was pretending it didn't exist....*shudders*

[Valarian_Donut]

Perhaps you people have forgotten the Smurfs. I hated the show personally, but I felt sorry for it because it was taken off of T.V. by a certain religious group (which I refuse to name out of courtesy) ..... Anyway, the way they talked was so annoying.

Smurf #1: "I'm smurfing smurf, I need to go to the smurf and buy some smurf."

Smurf #2: "Don't smurf to much. You'll spoil the smurfilicious smurf I'm smurfing for you."

...... Do you see my point? :(

[Death Dealer]

We had a joke around school for a short while that we'd replace any cursing with Smurf. That was amusing for awhile. :P

[swordmaster]

We had a joke around school for a short while that we'd replace any cursing with Smurf. That was amusing for awhile. :P
They did that with famly guy.
"So I went to the concert with smurfett last night"
"No smurfin?"
"She smurfed me right in the smurfing parking lot"
"Smurf dude"

[TheZeroMan]

Would you say Klutter kluttered up Eek that Cat?

ZING!

Man the Terrible Thunderlizards. Why did they destroy Eek like that? That show was wonderful for a while.

The Smurfs I just remember hating that show yet always watching it. Why Why didn't I just watch something else or leave? Stupid Youth.

[Ravenhurst]

I couldn't stand any Nickelodeon cartoon except for the original three (Doug, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy). Rocko's Modern Life and some piece of crap about stupid little monsters trying to scare people were both waaay overplayed on that network during my youth.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Hey, I liked Rocko's Modern Life.

[The Mirror Emperor]

So did I.

Right now I can think of 3 (which is the quantity of all I ever think about)

1.) Smurfs. That show was annoying.

2.) Every Disney cartoon that ever aired and still air save for Chip & Dale, which those bastards took off the air.

3.) Scooby-Doo. I can't stand the theme, I can't stand the jokes and I don't know why there was a laugh track.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

3.) Scooby-Doo. I can't stand the theme, I can't stand the jokes and I don't know why there was a laugh track

"Scoobie-Doo is drawn before a live audience."

[Jack's Smirking Revenge]

can you describe said "transformers Rip-off show"?

It was the same premise as the Transformers, ie. giant robots posing as cars, airplanes, etc. were at war with one another, only the storyline sucked harder than a cheap hooker during mardi gras.

It was not Voltron. That show rocked, from what I remember.

I remember the name of the show, now! It was Go-Bots.
Lame.

[slightly aboveaverage man]

Yeah, and as I believe their ratings dropped faster than a Whore's panties.

[TheZeroMan]

Every Disney Cartoon... even Ducktales... and Tailspin? *gasp* shock*

Even Darkwing Duck...?

[EVILNess]

The Littles! GAH!!!

AND DO NOT DIS DARKWING DUCK! DAT WUZ PURE 90s AWESOMENESS!

[The Mirror Emperor]

I forgot about that because I don't remember Darkwing Duck on that channel because I saw him on a different one. I don't care for other cartoons on Disney other than Chip N' Dale (which, like I said, the people at Disney took off) and Darkwing Duck.

[Jack's Smirking Revenge]

The Littles were the cartoon equivalent of The Family Circus

Darkwing Duck's villains were all ripoffs of Spider-Man.

[Illuminatus]

What are you guys talking about? TMNT? Captain Planet? THUNDERCATS?

Obviously you don't understand the "Godzilla" factor. No one ever claimed Godzilla was a well-made, or acted, or shot, or directed movie...but it still ROCKED!

Of course, TMNT was awesome in its own right, but some of those bad shows had the whole Godzilla thing going on. They still rocked.

But you're right about some things. James Bond Jr., Eek the Cat...bad shows

Edit: TOM AND JERRY!?!?!? You HEATHENS!

[Lukku]

From my youth (which I'm kinda still vaguely in, but you know) the worst one for me has to be Ed, Edd and Eddy. I had (and sometimes still have to) suffer it every time my brother (who's 4 years younger than me) took control of the remote. It's god awful. What's so funny about watching 3 kids with nearly the same names try and scam others just to get sweets? I just found it lame and also the animation is rubbish.

[adamark]

Scooby Doo was pretty bad

Power Rangers was TERRIBLE. I rule because I never bought into that show, even when I was 6 and vulnerable. It's not a cartoon but a terrible show nevertheless.

Smurfs

Tiny Toons

Captain Planet

[EVILNess]

Well I must agree that Power rangers sucked but, 1. They had cool toys and 2. Power Rangers in space was ok.

Has anyone here seen a show called "Little Rosie"? That my friends was scary, and yes it was based on Roseanne. You know... the fat loud lady, can't sing at all, you know the one who butchered the national anthem?

[robot]

The Transformers ripoff was called Gobots.Don't remember much about them,but they had such lameass names as Leader-1, Scooter and Cy-Kill.

[popularnerd]

My traumatic expiriences are as follows:
1.The Smurfs-When you replace every verb with Smurf, it's scary.
2) Pretty much all the propagandistic show from the eighties(i.e. Captain planet)
3. Some old show called silverhawks or something like that-It was like Thundercats in space. "Hey we can't shoot our "lasers" past the light year limit our we'll get our fucking brains blown out"
4) GOD I HATE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!11!!! Never have I ever seen any referance to chilly cheese dogs in any of the games...ever! It's like crack to him!
5)Jabber Jaw. How the blu hell is a talking shark able to live on dry land? And what's more, why are they all underwater? It was like Josie and the Pussy cats minus the scantily clad women. (Yes I watched these shows when I was older due to my sad cable depraved childhood.) :(

[KhanFusion]

When I was little, I absolutely loved He-man, Thundercats, and TMNT. Can I watch them now? Hell no. They're awful.

I must say, though... even when I was a kid, I couldn't stand Scooby Doo or the Flintstones. Retarded ass shows, they are. Power Rangers as well.

As for the guy who hated on the Disney Afternoon shows.... blow me. Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Tail spin, Gargoyles.... those shows were classic. I probably wouldn't get into any episodes NOW, but I'm sure young kids would enjoy them alot.

I know a number of people liked these shows, but they absoultely pissed me off, especially since they were done by big-name comedians....

Bobby's World
Life with Louie
Camp Candy

[The Mirror Emperor]

As for the guy who hated on the Disney Afternoon shows.... blow me. Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Duck Tales, Tail spin, Gargoyles.... those shows were classic. I probably wouldn't get into any episodes NOW, but I'm sure young kids would enjoy them alot.

I didn't say I hated Disney Afternoon shows, I said I hated ALL of them except for Darkwing Duck and Chip N Dale. Yes, young kids would enjoy them but when those shows were around, I didn't and I 1) was young and 2)rarely had Disney. Disney ruined Doug, dammit.

Unless of course you're talking about another guy who said they hated the afternoon shows, but my opinion still stands.

[EVILNess]

Dark-Wing Duck is STILL Awesome. As are Rescue Rangers and Duck Tales.

[adamark]

Disney ruined Doug, this is true... but, how much could you really "ruin" a show with a green best friend, a purple neighbor, and a "sortof" girlfriend named Patty Mayonaisse?

Bobby's World: Now we're talking about a whole new "low" in Bobby's World. ugh, don't get me started. :D

[The Mirror Emperor]

I dunno. But somehow Nickeldeon's version had an aura to it I liked which Disney took and replaced it with ass-smelling texture that I'd stay away from for years to come.

I completely forgot about Bobby's World and it was a good thing I did..

[adamark]

I dunno. But somehow Nickeldeon's version had an aura to it I liked which Disney took and replaced it with ass-smelling texture that I'd stay away from for years to come.
OK, I can agree with that. My point was, at the time (when I was younger) I liked it. But now, looking back at Doug, that show sucked. It just didn't suck as much when it was produced by Nickelodeon. Fair? :)

[The Mirror Emperor]

OK, I can agree with that. My point was, at the time (when I was younger) I liked it. But now, looking back at Doug, that show sucked. It just didn't suck as much when it was produced by Nickelodeon. Fair? :)

That I can agree with. Some shows are like that; some few years back I watch a cartoon and think it's cool and then now I think "What the hell was I thinking?" Power Rangers are the perfect example.

[Ravenhunter]

I remember when I was living in Japan in the early to mid eighties my godmother would record american shows to send to me and my brothers. The worst ones were "The Get Along Gang" and "Shirt Tails". And does anybody else remember the "Dungeons and Dragons" cartoon? Or the donkey kong or frogger cartoons? Those were awful too.

The original "Power Rangers" were japanese, and they were called "Flashman", and the names changed every year to things like "Maskman" and "Bioman". Those shows ROCKED!! Instead of "Putties" they were "Ant People" and I had all of the toys. It royally sucked when they brought it to America.

FYI, the smurfs and silverhawks were awesome! So were the classic chip and dale that they won't show on tv anymore like the christmas special b/c donald pulls a gun on them in one scene.

[The Mirror Emperor]

Or the donkey kong or frogger cartoons? Those were awful too.

The Donkey Kong one wasn't too bad. Some elements in the episodes I can safely say sucked but overall it wasn't too bad.

FYI, the smurfs and silverhawks were awesome! So were the classic chip and dale that they won't show on tv anymore like the christmas special b/c donald pulls a gun on them in one scene.

I stand my Anti-Smurf thing. What are the Silverhawks? I've never heard of that.

I missed the Christmas one and I don't know why they won't show it again. On some channels they show classic Bugs Bunny episodes where Elmer Fudd constantly shoots with a rifle but I don't know why they can't show a gun.

[The Tortured one]

ugh the more i think about it the more i wonder about how fucked up my childhood got due to cartoons.

why hasn't anyone mentioned captain nintendo yet? man what a cheap crapfest that was. Some kid was playing video games after doing some shrooms and all of a sudden he gets sucked into his tv. Apparently his dog was getting in on the action because it jumped in after him! How about the crappy characters? Simon Belmont... you'd think that someone who fights vampires and at one point was nearly possessed by one would be a little more... dour? Or how about the incredibly annoying speech of kid icarus, attaching -ificus after everything he says.

Frikken A, captain planet... how much pinko enviro commie crap was that show? the fact that he had a mullet was bad enough. I rooted for the bad guys in that show.

In retrospect to the amount of sublime communist propaganda injected into those shows, im surprised i never fled to the soviet union. The exception was the ambigiously gay Woody the Woodpecker, which is probably the cause of my relative tolerance of homosexuals.

speaking of fucked up childhoods, after watching legend of Zelda I used to dress up like him. Basically a super big green shirt with a big belt, and big boots, and a green holloween cap. I remember my dad laughing at how foolish I looked, and if i were in his shoes, i would have laughed at myself.

Sonic the Hedgehog had two different cartoons. One was so dark and serious I couldn't watch it, the other one was just stupid (like someone said, WTF is up with chili dogs?)

ugh, I hated the DnD show as a kid. That says something about it's crappiness.

if anyone puts the super mario bros. super show on their list i will hunt them down. That show was awesomely bad! Craptacular is the word i use, and man did I worship that show as a kid.

[adamark]

Wow. i think super mario bros was live action, too, right? i could never play one of those parts if i were an actor. i'd cry myself to sleep every night knowing i was a whore if i ever signed a contract into playing luigi.

[popularnerd]

The Silverhawks was some old 70's propaganda show about some fucks who can miraculously survive in a vacum, but lose the majority of their latent abilities after a certain limit. In the show they treat space like it has an atmosphere(i.e. if you run out of fuel, you plummet indefinetely...) but have the gall to actually have a little educational segment at the end of the show explaining that stars are hot... :confused:
