    No sheerah was a different cartoon.. she was his cousin or something. Lucky it wasn't set in the American deep south. :D

    I just Googled it:

    'Normally, he is the cowardly Cringer, but when Prince Adam transforms into He-Man, Cringer becomes the mighty Battle Cat.'

    I'm sorry but that name fucking rocks! Battle Cat!

    Rod and Emu. That was good, although I think the guy is a bit scary these days. I'd imagine he's playing Butlins cabaret nights and churches.

    I don't know what y'all are talking about
    but what about the, wait I forget the exact name, something about the International Super Heroes hall of fame,
    the one with: Wonder Twin Powers, Activate!

    That was awesome! SOmeone else said the Smurfs, that was great too.

    and those animated cartoons, like the "I'm Just A Bill,' all the SchoolHouse Rock ones, they were great

    what else.. I really liked Kids Incorporated

    and I know it's the 90's but Ren and Stimpy! YOU EEEEDIOT!!! I love Ren and Stimpy. Well, more so Stimpy

    oh! And You Can't Do That on Television! That was the best. They don't make tv shows like they used to.

    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

  • Captain Planet



    CAPTAIN PLANET! a superhero with a green mullet automatically has to be the coolest thing on tv right? haha the theme song is catchy as hell
  • I'm a '70s kid. British BBC kids' TV of that decade was the apex of televisual entertainment. It all turned shite by the '80s.
