My brain is mush today.

The hurculoids, roboteck,space race, battle star Galatia.

You win, you are an older bastard than me.

Hated Astro Boy. But I hated Speed Racer more. Way more. A million, billion, trillion times more. Tuned in every morning before school just to see if the dickhead crashed and died in a big fireball. Mutha f@%k Speed Racer...

Racer X would always step in to save the day. Spoiler alert (It is his older brother).

I loved monkey magic, that tribitaca really confused me though.

He/she would have had trouble as a novice priest in the Catholic Church! Take a look at Masako Natsume's bio and pics: quite a contrast to when in costume! She died too young unfortunately.

It was a late 70s show, so there's a story there about how you even got to see it. I don't doubt you did but someone must have guided you to their secret stash of videos or something. Surprisingly for such a popular show I don't think it got repeated much.

I have all 52 episodes on DVD - my wife loves the show. I have watched approximately 3 episodes. I have about 20 series to watch on Netflix before I get back to it.

 

[manureid]

I wanted to be Astro Boy.

 

[charcolechaddy]

I wanted the hurculoids pets!

The Herculoids - I had to look them up. Didn't that stegosaurus thing shoot fire out of it's horn? [correction: triceratops thing!]

Weird you just settled on floppy ears and a big head?

How have the eightynauts not mentioned Astro Boy yet. Damn that shit was dark for a kids show

That's a 60s show and supposedly the wedge for the introduction of Japanese stuff, still very soon after WW11. Also big animated Japanese hits of their day Marine Boy, Space Ace, and Kimba the White Lion. Non-animated big Japanese hits The Samurai*, and to a lesser degree Phantom Agents.

* Not Shintaro as I originally put, that was the hero. Thanks Prison bar Pete

You don't know the struggles of growing up watching shows with protagonists who have physically impossible to imitate edgy hairstyles

Broke my arm jumping from the window sill when playing Shintaro from The Samurai (that would have been in about 1995 ahem...cough...cough).

Captain caveman, the banana splits, the pink panther show, catweasel

Catweazle & his telling-bone. Good subject for the Hoff Photoshop thread perhaps?

Yep, two blobs and a giant ape made of stone.

Takes me back to my pounds shillings and pence trips.

Racer X would always step in to save the day. Spoiler alert (It is his older brother).

And it pissed me off every friggin' time!

 

[Magpiespower]

Marine Boy

Now we're talking...

 

[Magpiespower]

I wanted to be Astro Boy.

I wanted to be Robin the Boy Wonder.

I still do.

I am 12.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Wacky races

 

[Magpiespower]

U should check out the movie, I reckon u would love it.

Does the campaigner die?

 

[Powerstufff]

One of the more achievable characters to be as a young male teen I'd imagine. Well the finding a rich man to live with part anyway. Possibly some dressing up in costumes too.

like an accidental fart that turns to diarrhoea in your pants.

Ah, I see your mother put too much epsom salts in the homemade lemonade too?

I'll bite. Isn't any epsom salts too much?
