ah... the good ol' days

I stumbled upon this ad for the x-files, and i couldn't help but to get a little naustalgic. I miss the days when i could watch the x-files, knowing every episode would be GREAT!

What's something your used to take for granted, that's gone now?

Autechre · Dec 23, 2002, 08:06 PM

this cartoon, called Thundercats.

Splendiferous · Dec 24, 2002, 07:00 AM

Ah, Thundercats. We thought that would be around forever. <<sniff>>

Childhood wonder. It's all gone, now. Well, maybe not ALL gone, i'd like to think there's some left in me ... but it's a small hope.

Hey, who remembers Tugboats? It was from the makers of Thomas the Tank Engine and was made like that only with boats instead of trains...why'd they cancel that? It was good (never as good as Thomas, but then, what was?)

Yep, childhood, socially constructed, but great all the same.

Splendiferous · Dec 24, 2002, 07:09 AM

Tugboats ... I haven't thought of that in years and years and years.

Hey, does anyone know about a cartoon with armoured ducks? A friend of mine was asking about it months ago, and it's evaded me ever since.

Predalien · Dec 24, 2002, 07:13 AM

Maybe it's The Mighty Ducks about ducks who play ice-hockey (based on that film that didn't have ducks)...dunno if that's what it was called, or even if it's what you're referring to...

But maybe...just maybe.......

Splendiferous · Dec 24, 2002, 07:18 AM

Hmmm ... I thought the Mighty Ducks was about kids who played ice-hockey for a team called the mighty ducks, but hey, what do I know?

Predalien · Dec 24, 2002, 08:03 AM

It was, hence:

(based on that film that didn't have ducks)

There was a cartoon series based on it, that had ducks.

Darth Bob · Dec 24, 2002, 08:04 AM

no predn's referiing to a cartoon by the same name, it has nothing to do with the films "the mighty ducks"
except for the name and they played hockey.
and it never got a second series , thank the lord.

There was one where there were cats, the flew around in planes they built out of garbage. They worked in a junkyard.

And there was one called darkwing duck, which was a really horrible disney channel cartoon.

xXx · Dec 24, 2002, 01:25 PM

I think you mean "Heathcliff". It had cats that lived in a junkyard and had a car that changed into a boat or plane. Weird...

Tack · Dec 24, 2002, 04:29 PM

I miss the smerfs.

Splendiferous · Dec 25, 2002, 07:57 AM

Hmmm ... Perhaps I should pay more attention to other people's posts ...

I don't miss the Smurfs. Not in the least. I DO miss the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, though - far superior to the crap movie, imho.

floyd · Dec 25, 2002, 09:44 AM

yes, smurfs... HORRID!
DND... mmmmmm tastey
