Cartoons

[Chrispy]

Sorry, Boubou, I obviously need to crack out the Ole French book and start learning, pronounciation and spelling should be first.. I gues.. (I think I can spell Japanese Words phonetically better)

Oh, and Mr. Peabody and the WayBack machine along with his boy Sherman.

Strangest \"cartoons\" when I young: SuperCar and Fireball XL5 - \"Live Action\" SCiFi stories done with marionettes

Don\'t you dare \'Dis the superb early works of Gerry Anderson, the man who brought us Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and then Space 1999. (Don\'t mention Space Precinct. Yech what a dog! :|~ )

Even earlier shows than that I can remember are \"Twizzle\" & \"Torchy, the Battery Boy\".

You Americans are possibly fortunate that you didn\'t get:-
\"Andy Pandy\" (Grief generations of kids called Andrew have hated that show),
\"Tales from the River Bank\" (with Dubbed actors voices over footage of terrified hamsters scurrying round the screen. (Anyone in England ever seen the Outtakes of that with Hamsters doing what rodents do a lot of?))
\"Watch with Mother\", including \"Muffin the Mule\". (No jokes please!)
\"Watch with Mother\" was presented by a woman with a fixed smile, glazed expression and eternally cheerful disposition, that today could only be attributed to ingestion of a serious amount of chemical compounds!

And of course one of the all time classic of childrens television \"Rainbow\" with Zippy, Bungle & George (Anyone seen the \"Adult\" episode )

Ah, Mike, you misunderstand Just because I said they were strange doesn\'t mean I was dissing them! I loved them! For laughs, I used to walk around like the kid from SuperCar, you know, like my hands and knees were attached to the same string Okay. So I was a weird kid Yeah, Like I\'ve grown our of THAT, right ???

I miss Danger Mouse! Used to love the humor and silliness of that series. And Penfold was a classic Idiot Savant. Anyone know how to get it on DVD?

 

[finn17]

Yeah!

Amazon.co.uk. They are even region 0. Which, I understand, means that you will be able to play them on your machine, if you don\'t already have a region-free player that is. They are really cheap too!:flip:
