I caught the last 2/3 of that once as a child, and just remember the villains going through the transformation sequence, and it blew me away.In regards to TMNT, I liked that one because it was the first show I saw that seemed to have some real back-and-forth with the villains. In hindsight, there wasn't much at all, but I remember that time when the Shredder and Krang were actually able to gather enough energy to succeed in bringing the Technodrome back out of Dimension X at just the last moment, and I was blown away because they'd suddenly and with no warning pulled it out of the fire when they'd failed so often before. And then the turtles were surrounded by dozens of foot soldiers and tanks and the Technodrome's guns pointing at them and...*faints again from hyperventilation*I had trouble following the comics for TMNT though. Like most comics at the time that were remotely popular, they crossed over somewhat frequently with their related titles (Mutanimals anyone?) and between that and not starting at the beginning, it quickly became hard to read for a kid who only had exposure to the TV series. Although Raph's girlfriend, Ninjara, was HOT! I think she was the first character in furr I ever lusted after, since I was like twelve when I first saw her in the comics...man that brings back memories. And...wait, the Shredder in the new cartoon is an alien brain thing? What, did he fuse with Krang???I'd love to see Dino Riders again, as that one seemed pretty cool. I remember liking the main villain's design...something about having his head in a fishbowl just seemed awesome at the time. I remember watching that back-to-back on Sunday (I think it was Sunday) mornings along with Robocop the cartoon, Denver the Last Dinosaur (got the MP3 of that theme!), and Widget the World-Watcher (oi, now there was a show that was silly yet heavy-handed in its message. Captain Planet did it better IMHO).It would be nice to see Pirates of Darkwater again, mostly because I caught maybe the first four episodes and that was it.Ye gods I barely remember Thundarr at all...I voted for She-Ra, but mostly because I thought Hordak and the Evil Horde were cool. That and I was always hoping against hope for a crossover episode with He-Man (did we ever find out why She-Ra was sent to Etheria as a baby, since she and He-Man are brother and sister?). Anyone remember that episode (a two-parter I think) where Hordak made that giant ship to attack both Eternia and Etheria, and Skeletor stole it from him since even He-Man couldn't stop it? I remember watching as even the strongest man in the world could barely keep that ship in place and how seeing that just...well...blew me away...man I was blown away a lot as a kid from cartoons...comes from all the suspension of disbelief (which I had, and have, in spades).Conan the Adventurer did come later, as I remember watching it in the early 90's and it was maybe a year or two old. It still rocked though! I can still sing the theme to that one. I think it was the first show (with a plot) that I saw from beginning to end, though it was great how even at the end [spoiler]they gave us a few hints that there might be more, as Ram-Amon and whatshername, Mysramyria or whatever, scooped up the remains of the Black Ring and escaped with it.[/spoiler]I could go with seeing Marshall Bravestarr again, though it didn't do much for me. I did like that episode where Tex-Hex (that was his name, right?) was given the "A Christmas Carol" treatment by Shaman, since that seriously showed a lot of his character to see him before Stampede corrupted him, and how in the future [spoiler]he was dead after he turned on Stampede...a betrayal which was initiated by Shaman showing him that that girl he used to love was on the coach Stampede was going to attack.[/spoiler]I didn't have much affection for Gummi Bears. The plot of Duke Eggthorn just wanting to try and get the gummi bears and failing was done to death. The best episode for me was where he and that younger gummi were trying to escape from that Clint Eastwood-knockoff when Eggthorn stiffed the guy. I loved his line though: "Go ahead, take my pay."  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Likewise, it'd be nice to see M.A.S.K. again as I remember so little about that...just part of the song, that it was about vehicles (and the leader had what seemed to be a flying DeLorean...and yet he never went back to the future  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), and that the bad guy was named Mayhem.Ghostbusters I really liked, but I lost interest in that, not because the show got worse or anything, but just because my younger brother liked it much more than me, and sibling rivalry ran strong during the early years...not that I even realized that at the time, but still.Anyone remember Cops and Crooks? I know it was early 90's, but it seemed kinda cool, what with the cops with cyborg abilities and stuff.I wish we had Visionaries here, it seemed cool. Likewise, anyone remember Supernaturals? It didn't have a show that I knew about, but those action figures seriously rocked! They even had a 1-800 number for a time you could call to hear the characters give short monologues on themselves. I wish they'd had a show.And I'd really like to see the various incarnations of the Super Mario Brothers Super Show (and The Legend of Zelda) on DVD, even with the first show's live hosting. Does anyone remember that after Capt. Lou and Co. stopped doing that, they had those Bill and Ted-like guys, calling themselves Club Mario?
