[safetyhappy]

I *would* have to read this thread, now I have the Dukes of Hazard theme stuck in my head, not Buffy or Emergency, but the Dukes AUGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[Quigger]

those where awsome cartoons!:D

[explr985]

I still like Bugs and Daffy.:D :cool:

[FDNY101TRUCK]

OMG I rememeber all those shows my favorite was rocko's modern life and ren & stimpy but now ren & stimpy on spike tv has gotten way too adult content. I still see Emergency 911 on tv everyday now that brings back memories.

[GeorgeWendtCFI]

The Jetsons! (Jane is much better looking than Wilma).

[CaptainGonzo]

I teach fire safety in the schools, so I watch Nickelodeon to keep current to what the kids are watching and use references to them.

The one theme that has been sticking in my head is the music from a Mitsubishi commercial for the their Outlander SUV. It starts with a couple of power chords into a heavy bass line...then it segues into... who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!

As far as old cartoons...

Beanie and Cecil (hold on beanie boy..I'm coming to save you!)
Rocky and Bullwinkle (hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat!)
Underdog (There's no need to fear...Underdog is here!)
Looney Tunes (be vewy vewy quiet...I'm hunting wabbits!)
Deputy Dawg (heyyyyyyyyyy Mushkie!)
Tennesee Tuxedo ( Chumley, let's go ask Mr. Whoopee!)
Mighty Mouse (our my group's theme song for Engine 1..."Here we come to save the day!"
Yogi Bear (Boo Boo...is that a pic-a-nic basket?)
Huckleberry Hound
Quick Draw McGraw
Riccohet Rabbit
Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinx
Wally Gator....

I think I spent way too much time in front of the boob tube! :p

[FlyingKiwi]

Road Runner

BEEP....BEEP.

[stm4710]

Scooby Doo,n'uff said!:p

And of course my all time favorite........
Thomas the Tank Engine :D :D :D :cool:

[John155]

It really suprises me that this thread came up, I mean, I was literally just discussing it with my roomates last night about the old Nickalodeon. I even went as far as to go download some episodes of "The Adventures of Pete & Pete". Excellent show :)

[33motor]

Gonzo,

I can relate to that list. ;)

I think one of my all time fav's back in the day was the original Jonny Quest series. You just got to love a cartoon where people actually got whacked. :p That was before the "tree hugger" cartoon days. Saturday morning was a day you got up early to watch, Scooby Doo, Speed Buggy, Josie and the Pussy Cats etc. because if you didn't, they were not going to be on until the next Saturday. My kiddos have it easy, between the Disney CH. and Cartoon network etc. they can watch toons 24/7 if I'd let 'em.

[John155]

Scooby Doo is key.

Love the Road Runner! And Bugs of course! Never heard of half the ones you guys are talking about, well we only had CBC when I was growing up, that's it! Surrounded by mountains don't ya know. I think we got cable in the mid 70s :D

[Moose2028]

me only being 16 i heard of all the cartoons and shows you guys are talking about. pete & pete was one of my faviroit shows, along with all the other old nick shows. loved johny quest too, i hav all the videos.:D

[hwoods]

Back in the days of Color Radio, I picked up one - "The Shadow Knows......" In more recent times, there has been this cartoon character on TV, The Road Runner. Beep Beep..... And the Not Ready For Prime Time Coyote, who gets creamed at every turn. Lotta Laughs from these two. One of my daughters likes Garfield the Cat. A tiny Garfield rides on her helment..... Yeah, I know, we're all crazy. Good thing. We'd probably go insane if we wern't. Stay Safe....

[WannabeintheFD]

ooo man i totally forgot about The Adventures of Pete & Pete and rescue 911 garfield!!!

lol safetyhappy... ahahaa!!!!!! :p

[Engine58]

The Real Ghost Busters!! Next best thing was Rescue 911...theres alot of classics out there...but I cant remember..my mind went blank..

[GeorgeWendtCFI]

I'm with Gonzo. As far as the new cartoons, nothing is funnier than SpongeBob!

[MIKEYLIKESIT]

I had know idea what they were REALLY talking about.. "wink wink"

[tanker5117]

SPEED RACER


Go, speed racer, go


Tanker

[ffdfireexplorer]

Wasn't that H.R. Puffenstuff?

[TCFire]

Gonzo wins the prize! Right before H.R. Puffenstuff used to watch the Banana Splits. Don't forget the Monkee's TV show.

[33motor]

I never liked that Puffenstuff show as a kid.... they were pretty "freaky" to me.

How about the Hair bears.... cool pad. LOL

And the Splits were..

Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper and Snorky!

[dmsmith]

SpongeBob is my current favorite......:D

Gonzo named a few of the best ones, but don't forget Tom and Jerry. Johnny Quest was required viewing also. How about some of the old Gerry Anderson "Supermarionation" shows like Thunderbirds, Stingray, SuperCar and Fireball XL5?

Diver Dan? The King and Odie? Leo the LionHearted? All classics!

The mind reels from such flashbacks :D

[kghemtp]

Woody Woodpecker (can I say that here?!?!?!) & the Smurfs, along with some of the classics my esteemed colleagues have mentioned.

La LA la la la laaa La La La La Laaa.

[ThNozzleman]

Don't forget "Secret Squirrel!"

[ffexpCP]

I can’t believe no one has mentioned ALF.

I loved Rescue911. I know a state trooper who was on the show because a runaway boxcar from the Plymouth yard slammed into a car on 7-mile. I’m not sure, but I think my mom was the dispatcher for that call.

[lmrchief2]

Gonzo good excuse next time my wife catches me watching Nick I will tell her that one:D .

What about Kimba the White Lion.

My favorite was H R Puffenstuff. We also had the classic (not a cartoon for those to young to know) The Friendly Giant and Mr Dress Up.

Got me thinking about what it was like to be a kid again:rolleyes:

And his sidekick Morocco Mole!

[AFD368]

What ever happened to Felix the Cat, or the Real Popeye.

[E229Lt]

A "Nickelodeon" projector was a device you put a Nickle into and turned the crank to view a motion picture. Sometimes on film, sometimes on flip card photos. Worst part is, I DID, in fact use one as a kid at the local "Buster Brown" shoe store.:eek:

Now, back to the toons:
Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse
http://www.toontracker.com/realvid/ccmm.ram

As for Humanoid TV:

Every Wednesday Night at 7:00 I sprinted across the street to watch "Batman" IN COLOR

[zippo99]

ffexCP, ALF was just great and I loved THE MUPPETS too, and ofcourse Bonanza and Startrack.
We got the "TURNER MOVIE CHANNEL" over here, and 'till 09.00 PM they broadcast all these old shows.
So my four year old son and I watch Tom & Jerry after the news, and we have the best of times.

[kghemtp]

Let's not forget Yogi Bear, and another Jim Henson creation other than Muppets -- Fraggle Rock!

[firefiftyfive]

Fraggle Rock was the best with those little green guys doing the consruction underground with those clear tubes...HAHAHA
What were they called?...dozers? duzers?

[CaptainGonzo]

They are the doozers... This is a Doozer truck company!

[CaptainGonzo]

Here are the Fraggles...

[captstanm1]

The Rat Patrol!

The Green Hornet!

[tanker5117]

The Rat Patrol!


I loved that show as a kid.


Tanker

[CaptainGonzo]

There is something about a few GI's in Jeeps armed with a .50 cal machine guns going up against a Panzer tank and kicking the living snot out of it! LOL :D

[firefiftyfive]

How about GI Joe. great cartoon, still watch it if I can manage to find it on late at night flipping through the channels

Remember..."Knowing is half the battle"

[CharlieRFDPres]

TOOOOO Funnny, people referring to Nic as old... I remember only black and white TV, 5 or 6 channels on a good reception day..
How about; Howdie Doody Show, Captain Kangaroo, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Marvin the Martin, Captain Caveman, Mickey Mouse Club, (ahhh Annette), Spin and Marty, there was another real old one Santa's Workshop or similiar name. Oh god, I'm ever so much more than 30, agree with Gonzo, Mighty Mouse was best. Pepe LaPue, Speedy Gonzalas, Tazmanian Devil, not the newer stuff, when he showed up with Bugs Bunny, etc. Oh My God, what were the puppets one was an undersea adventure, the other was some resuce group, I think had 7 different craft, sub, surface boat, multiple planes, a space ship, can't think of its name, oooohhh no the memory is going....:D :p :rolleyes:

[WannabeintheFD]

oo man i forgot captain planet! Eurekas(sp) Castle anyone??
