another awful cartoon?

the NEW Transformers...\"Armada\" I think its called. I tried watching an episode like 2 weeks ago or so...couldn't bare it after 7 or so minutes.

How about the even more awful "Highlander" cartoon? :barf:

they did a pretty good Starship troopers a couple years back,

and one with soldiers in "mech" suits.

PS The cartoon I was thinking of with the assault weapons was called "The Centurions." It was pretty cool back in the day.


Awful cartoons from the 80's: Rambo , Chuck Norris's Karate Commandos, and that Mario one that was 15 mins cartoon and 15 mins live action starring Captain Lou Albano as Mario.


In regards to the lazy animating of cartoons, I remember a special from waaaay back in the day (20 years ago). I don't remember the name of it, but it was a Halloween special where the main character was a bear named Ted E. Bear and he had to go to fright mountain or scare mountain or something like that to show the monsters that he wasn't afraid. The animation was sooo bad that only the characters mouths were actually animated. They just replaced the whole picture of the character like once every five seconds. They would just have their heads + bodies change locations every 5 seconds. It was painful. Hopefully someone else has the name of this one.

And every Friday, they had a Legend of Zelda cartoon instead of Mario.

Anyone else old enough to remember Battle Star Gallactica,

they had like 5 fight scene sequences that got used in every episode.

Same thing with Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

The Centurions

As cheesy as this was, it's one of my favorites. They play it on Boomerang early afternoons. POWER EXTREEEEEEEEEEME!!!!!!

Anyone else old enough to remember Battle Star Gallactica,

There was a movie, but if I remember correctly, it was the pilot episode. There's a planned "reunion" Movie. Gonna be weird considering both Adama(Lorne Greene) and Baltar (John Colicos) are both dead. Actually Lorne Greene died on September 11th, 1987 or 88.

EVERY He-Man episode feature the same clips of animation of He Man running \"towards the camera and jumping over it\"

This was EVERY Filmation cartoon. It's funny cause Cartoon Network wanted rights to show it and Filmation wanted too much so they went out and made their own, which is actually a pretty good cartoon. MASK and the Galaxy Rangers were also two not so big cartoons that I really liked.

There were actually THREE Voltrons, the near universe(the vehicles, 15 of them) Middle Universe(Three gladiator robots, never released in USA), and the Far Universe(The ever popular Lions of Arus) I had a Voltron Lions/Vehicles team up on video, but God knows what I did with it.They brought it back a few years ago in 3-d and it was halfway decent. GI Joe was cool till I was about 14 and then it got stupid. Transformers was also cool till they got into those Head Masters and Power Masters and Target Masters. How about Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

There were one or two slight knockoffs of the Thundercats, the Silverhawks and Tigersharks. All made by the same company. Anyone remember Turbo Teen, Rubik the Amazing Cube, Saturday Supercade, Dragons Lair and Pac Man???

And last but not least another charged up Saturday Morning staple, THE SUPERFRIENDS.

I actually liked Davey and Goliath.

You named just about every old cartoon series I have ever watched in my life, with the exception of:

<img src=http://www.driko.org/smallpics/dnd13.jpg> Dungeons & Dragons

And I kept seeing some of you mention a cartoon called <b>M.A.S.K.</b>, and for the life of me I couldn't recall seeing it until I checked the <a href=http://www.80scartoons.net/index.html target=new>'80s Cartoon Database</a>.

Go there, and prepare to relive your childhood all over again.

Captain N was pretty cool....until they brought in that stupid Gameboy. From there on out they stopped making good ideas and just concentrated on how many products they could promote.
