YouTube is my hero.

Ahem. I present a rare window into the development of my sense of humor (such as it is): The Humite/Yube clip from Cosgrove-Hall's Count Duckula cartoon.

This was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid, and this is my absolute favorite animated sequence of all time ever. Clicquez!

I loved count duckula... used to watch it with the boys all the time... that and thundercats, he-man, and for some strange reason, wrestling

Sounds like my childhood! Don't forget She-ra, Shirt Tales and Poppels!

heh... but my boys were the children, I watched this stuff in my 20s! We watched people get slimed on Nick... oh... and I loved "are you afraid of the dark"

My friends and I wanted to be on Double Dare sooooooo badly!!!!

Or He-Man, GI Joe, Thundarr the Barbarian, Transformers...

Okay. This is officially the cartoon nostalgia thread now.

I will even admit that I love Pee-Wee's Playhouse on Saturday mornings.

I have watched a few episodes on Adult Swim and gone, "Wow. My parents *let* me watch this show..."

Thunder Cats, Transformers and GI Joe. Yep. Watched them too.

And I still love Scooby-Doo. Always have. Always will. I even collect Scooby stuff! :-) Sorry. Didn't mean to geek all over your post...

Naw, it was a post about geeking. It's all good.

I will also admit to logging more hours than reasonable in front of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, at least until they had the episode with the Giant Underwear and I was banned from watching it Ever Again. :)

I do not recall said episode. My parents really didn't watch the TV with me (on Saturday mornings anyway. Simpsons in the evening was a "Hell no!") and I bet if they did, they would have said no.

Mother hated the fact that I watched Capitan Planet. I asked her once about one of the characters (Gaia) and why she seemed so God like. That was my first introduction into anything remotely pagan and her response was, "There are people out there called New Agers. The believe in the power of crystals and such. Stay away from them."

I try to tell her that I am truly following her advice but she doesn't seem to believe me... :-)
