my fav's other than the usual. MLP and rainbow brite were also fantastic max, rude dog and the dweebs, gummi bears,shera, denver the last dinosaur,dink the little dinosaur. and on nick junior maya the bee, david the gnome and the noozles. oh yeah and maple town. and more that i can't remember right now.
anyone else remember these?? and anyone one have anymore to add?

I remember Gummi Bears, Shera, David the Gnome, The Little Bits (on Nickelodeon, too), Popples, and Wuzzles right now.

I remember watching Gummi Bears, Snorks, Popples, Pac-Man. Is Shera... She-Ra???

I remember all of those... the ones that always get forgotten that I like are:

Yum Yums, Snorks, Shirt Tales, Get Along Gang (I know lots remember them here), Poochi, Glo Friends, The Little Bits, Maya the Bee, David the Gnome, Gummi Bears, Popples, Richie Rich, Pac-Man, Rubix Cube, Q-Bert, Noozles, Maple Town, The Little Kohala (I think that is what it was called), Denver the Last Dinosaur, The California Raisins, Dink the Little Dinosaur, Wuzzles, KISSY FUR, Punky Brewster (the cartoon), & Hugga Bunch. The list can go on much further, but I don't care to think anymore. :P

I go through that all of the time when my husband mentions something. I usually remember things that I didn't even know that I knew about! LOL It happened just the other night when we were watching Godzilla: Final War. I haven't watched Godzilla (any of the old Japanese ones) since I was a kid, yet I kept remembering things about all of the monsters and those little twins. And then I remembered that there was some cartoon when I was a kid that had Godzilla's baby on it...his name was Godzookie. :D And I loved Dungeons and Dragons the cartoon. It was my ultimate favorite. I didn't really get to watch many of the "girls" shows, so I've never seen She-ra or Rainbow Brite...and very little MLP or Care Bears. We tried watching the Gummi Bears, but it wasn't for us. We watched Fraggle Rock, The Muppet Show and Fairy Tale Theater...and Kung Fu Theater, but those aren't cartoons or toys!

Don't forget the Ewoks,Super Mario Bros Super Show,The Adventures of Link,Captain N,Tranzor Z,M.A.S.K.,Inspector Gadget,Captain Kangaroo,and much more I can't think of.

I loved Maple Town BTW.One time at my outing group,we were talking about our favorite shows/cartoons from the 1980s and I told them about M.A.S.K. and Maple Town.They didn't know what the heck I was talking about.That happens to everyone.They don't know anything about Maple Town or M.A.S.K.

these are not cartoons but still worth mentioning,i also liked reading rainbow(its still on and i watch it) anyone remember owl TV, hickory hideout and D.J. Kat?

I like Reading Rainbow, Mary. I also used to love a show called the Electric Company, but the only thing I can remember about it is when they'd do a Spidey comic thing and say, "tune in next time when Spidey will say *sound* Wah!"

Yeah, Joyce, I meant She-Ra. I edited it above though. ;) Oops! ^_^ And I loved Sesame Street & Reading Rainbow as a kid. I noticed that it's still on with the same guy *Lamar?*, too Mary. Logan watches it sometimes.

The host's name is LeVar Burton. :D He's rad!

Ah, ok. Close, :P He is, isn't he? ^_^

i LOVED maple town myself. between my sister and i think we had almost all the toys and some of the houses. i actually started collecting these little toys called furryville, theyre just like maple town. theyre little animals with clothes that come with assorted things: baseball bats, books, etc. i have one thats a painter. theyre adorable. the only difference from the maple town toys are that these are plush, still posable, but soft, not that hard plastic with the felt over it. i was just browsing the girl toy section of target one day and fell in love with this little turtle called slow poke, he came with a jersey and a baseball hat and glove. he's too cute.

i used to watch reading rainbow all the time, and zoobally zoo (not sure of the spelling :-x)

i loved zoobilee zoo. lol :D

Zoobilee Zoo was great! And btw, the show has been on TV continuously for 15 years but hasn't been picked up by a network since way back.
AND...they are looking to bring it back. I guess they want to continue on with a new series and specials. The original cast is all there too so that's just awesome. They've actually been performing live shows throughout the years and presently. :)

AND...I loved Poochie, Kissy-fur, and Punky Brewster! :D

Loved Poochie & Punky, but I'm not remembering Kissy-fur at all

oh man thats so awesome. i cant believe they continued to do shows even after the tv show wasnt on the air anymore. i cant imagine that a new series would be as good as the old ones, they never are. but thats cool nonetheless.

anyone else remember ed grimly at first it was a character by martin short then it was a cartoon. i loved the cartoon

Kissyfur was awesome. :D Here are some pics that might help you remember, though the show didn't do too well, even though it was one of my favorites. My dad even loved it & used to watch it with me, he loved the theme song. ^_^


Kissyfur McDonald's Happy Meal Box - featuring Kissyfur, his dad Gus, & the 2 Swamp Gators

VHS tape - Kissyfur with his dad, Gus


Comic with Kissyfur, his dad Gus & some of his friends


Book featuring Kissyfur & his friends

Thanks Tickled. I am vaguely remembering them now. That last pic you have is the most familiar to me.

maybe it was the name of the cartoon that turned people off. kissyfur its a strange cutesy wootsy name

His actual name was Christopher, but his friends had a bit of trouble pronouncing it...:)

Find out more here.

:huh: oh

Interesting to hear what I found out from Toonopedia. :blink:

If it has 25 episodes & 4 specials, then WOW... I didn't know it had more than Rainbow Brite. :blink: I believe Rainbow Brite only had the 13 episodes, 2 live-actions, 1 movie, & 4 read-alongs. I am just stunned at this news... I guess Kissyfur the show was okay then. ;) I loved it. I hope it comes someday on DVD... I will deffinately buy it. :love

I totally remember those bad ole' gators on Kissy-fur! lol Thanks for the images, Tickled :)

Also, thanks ZipperCat for the link :)

Regarding Zoobilee Zoo:

I was thinking I wouldn't like a new series to actually sit there and watch but mostly I was thinking that it is just too geared for a kid. There are some things I have watched lately that I remember ADORING as a kid, and now I can't understand why! WTF was wrong with me!?!? LOL!!!

Not really cartoons but Today's Special, Welcome to pooh corner and Dumbos Circus

Donalds quack attack and I think the other one was Mickey's Mouse tracks...they were both made up of all the old mickey mouse/disney cartoons.

I loved Maple town however up until I googled it a few months ago I couldn't remember the name of the show, I just remembered Patti Rabbit. I found my patty rabbit figure thing awhile back.

Also Disney back in the late 80s/early90s(I'm thinking 89/90/91) had a show around lunchtime called Lunch Box, it was aimed at preschoolers. They had all different cartoons and shorts....paddington bear, spot the dog, one that was about a duck...can't remember the name...something "quack quack" maybe, curious george etc

Little Bits, Weinerville, grimms fairy tales

The Family Channel back in the early 90s used to play Beatrix potter cartoons..peter rabbit etc, I loved watching those

OMG. i sooo forgot about lunchbox. and some of those others. how cool. anyone remember a little yellow clay guy that lived in a kitchen i think, i only have a memory of him playing with drinking glasses. i think he was "a short" i think he had his own cartoon, can anyone help

OMG,I so forgot about Zoobile Zoo until I googled it one night,and I found the offical webpage about it.I also remember owning Zoobile Zoo stickers when I was little at one point.

There's another obscure 80s girly cartoon I remember having a tape of called Pretty Piggies.They were colored pigs (blue,pink,etc) that went on different adventures.I was on-line one night on some site,and I found Pretty Piggies which is another cartoon I totally forgot about.

Pretty Piggies on Toonarific

Here's a site with info on Pretty Piggies.


Video cover pic I found on Ebay.

I remember watching Today's Special but not the others... I saw an episode of it not too long ago.
