I honestly wasn't much of a cartoon kid, but David the Gnome was fuckin
Did you ever watch Star Trek the animated seriesBugs Bunny ( Looney Tunes) Tom and Jerry. Herculoids, G-Force, Super friends, Woody Woodpecker, ( Not a cartoon ) but used to enjoy the Star Trek series
Those were 50s shows. Were you watching them first run? I think the Howdy Doody show was on about then too.These weren't cartoons, but as a kid, I used to watch Roy Rogers and Rin Tin Tin. If I recall correctly, they both used To air around the same time as all of the cartoons.
It was re-runs. I'm old, but not quite that old.Those were 50s shows. Were you watching them first run? I think the Howdy Doody show was on about then too.
Thelma from good times for me...I always had a crush on Thelma
Ok. I saw a few of those shows on reruns myself. My childhood tv shows would be the 70s mostly, and very early 80s. I was born in 1970, not long after man landed on the moon.It was re-runs. I'm old, but not quite that old.
Can't believe nobody mentioned Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) or Force Five.
And who remembers the Muhammad Ali and Godzilla Saturday morning cartoon shows?
Netflix has it. I loved it.Did you ever watch Star Trek the animated series
I've got a couple years on you. Born in 68.Ok. I saw a few of those shows on reruns myself. My childhood tv shows would be the 70s mostly, and very early 80s. I was born in 1970, not long after man landed on the moon.
Man I didn't even think of this!
Star Blazers and Force Five (Getta robo, UFO Grandaizer, Gaiking) also Battle of the Planets (gatchaman) and earlier Tranzor Z (Mazinger Z).
My ex, who I was married to is the daughter of Mizuki Ichiro, who sang the music for Mazinger and many many others. I even wrote the English version of the Mazinger theme and recorded it with him.
I also got to meet and speak several times with Sasaki Sao (Yamato) and Kageyama (Dragonball z). I met a LOT of people in the industry here - great fun for someone of our generation.
It's great that you had that personal connection. When you say that you recorded the English version of the Mazinger theme with him, what was your role? Back-up vocals?
This goes back a little before the 80's to the late 70's, but I have very fond memories of the Shogun Warriors line of toys/comics. I remember having the 24" Great Mazinga with missiles that shot off his fist, and Godzilla, also with the shooting fist and flame breath.

We were huge Godzilla fans anyway, watching all the Japanese monster movies on the Creature Double Feature on Saturday afternoons, here on Boston's TV Channel 56.
