I was a moody kid. This was old and in syndication when it played really early in the morning on Nickelodeon. I was up early because I was an insomniac and I loved it. Spartakus and The Sun Beneath The Sea (looking at the lead, it explains my Keanu Reeves fixation):

In retrospect, Hobo Kelly was a terrifying horror show, but as a toddler it was just a program about a funny lady who dressed as a clown, poured garbage into a machine, and made toys come out.

Thundarr the Barbarian! He's HOT HOT HOT

Also, immediately before or after Thundar, a cartoon about a (blonde?) astronaut that got lost in another galaxy/dimension. He, too, was HOT HOT HOT

I'd wake up from Friday night college hangovers to watch the shows

by Anonymousreply 24July 17, 2015 7:19 PM

I'm R24. The astronaut was BLACKSTAR. He had black hair, not blonde. And was HOT HOT HOT.

Did anyone notice his friend Mara, the magic user. She had rather perky upright tits for a Saturday morning cartoon. (I wasn't into tits. It was just my justification to my roommate why I watched the show)

I loved Davey and Goliath for its twitchy stop motion animation. The religious message was pretty soft sell, and as a little kid it got weirdly mixed-in with the fact that the dog talked, or didn't really talk, or talked only to Davey (although sometimes everyone in the family seems to understand him?) or maybe the dog was God talking--very confusing to a 4 year old, and still not something I've completely resolved.

I was never much of a cartoon kid, but remembered live action stuff like HR Pufnstuff and that thing where future DL legend Dee Dee Halls played some kind of Wonder Snatch.

I remember the old basics like Scooby Doo, and something called The Schmoo that was on for a second in the 80s.
