Has any one mentioned Ekk! The Cat yet? I remember they used to have a Klutter segment too about a living pile of clothes...and it twarted the plans of a guy whose body parts were in jars...who had a clown assistant...that hated him. That show was trippy now that I think about it.

Living a Boy's Adventure Tale
We need more TV specials here. I just found childhood gold last Friday!
Remember this?
The Scooby-Doo Project a Halloween special that was part of an upcoming 24-HOUR MARATHON of Scooby episodes on October 31st!!!
Since I bet that I'm not the only one that didn't see how the special ended, here's a vid. I believe it's one of the best mysteries I've seen from the gang be involved in:

Wacky Races, yes 
Scooby Doo, yes. My favourite was the Cyber Chase game for PS1 (oh, the days!)
See the cap in my fursona? Reference to Timmy Turner, aka Fairly OddParents. I loved that show, and when I need something to make me stand out I use the cap.
Also there's Tom and Jerry, everyone loved.
The Pink Panther
And Mr. Bean, early animated series and the originals

Living a Boy's Adventure Tale
I had tears in my eyes when I found this:
Las Mil Y Una... Américas (A Thousand and One... Americas)
[video=youtube;fwX0eiLNG0s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwX0eiLNG0s&feature=related[/video]
That theme song still remains as hauntingly beautiful as it was when I played it on the VHS copies that my mom lovingly recorded. It still has the same effect on me now as it did then... :')
It was a TV special.
The series was commissioned to celebrate the 500 years since the "discovery" of the "New World".
For all of its faults, it introduced me to the fascinating ancient cultures of the Americas long before it was discussed in class.

This looks really badass. Sorta like a trip through history but with bitchin' sword fights and volcanoes...
What happened to you childhood television?

Thanks, Butterflygoddess. You have no idea how much that means to me.
Childhood television shall always live in our minds and our hearts. And in some cases, in old VHS tape recordings.
*wipes tears from eyes*
Well now, I feel revamped!
Top Cat:
The show that taught me what police call boxes were. I tried my best to sing the theme song, but my limited English relegated me to the first 2 words (♪Top Cat♪). 'Benito', as he was called in Spanish, was always lovable, but I really liked them all.
101 Dalmatians (TV series):
I doubt that I'd watch this one again. But back then I did enjoy that 'the place in the country' that they all moved to was the same farm in which the farm animals aided the Dalmatians escape! Cameos galore!! And the weird romance angle between Horace and Nanny was intriguing! The 2-part episode that Roger and Anita's marriage was in jeopardy since they were married by a con-man was the best!
Road Rovers:
I'm surprised none of you made emphasis on this show! While I only saw some episodes, I do remember being extremely disappointed with the Doberman, which at the time I thought were so cool, and thrilled when Muzzle (guess which one's Muzzle) was released upon the enemies!!
Gumby Adventures:
It was sometimes hard to follow what was going on. I didn't really like it how often the bad guys got away. Still enjoyable.
Bernard's Watch:
Thought it warranted more than just a mention in my Discovery Kids post. Aside from its simplistic concept, the reason I enjoyed it the most was because it showed a window of life in the UK. Right-hand-drive cars, UK-specific products, impressive scenery, they even had milkmen!!
Fantastic Max:
I can't believe I forgot the name for this one. I mean, I think I watched every episode! You're only 16 months old and you're kicking ass in space. How cool is that?! Too bad there aren't better pics.
Pound Puppies:
Didn't know they were based on a toy line until many years later.
The Snorks:
I expected the Smurfs to make an appearance. Despite that, I still enjoyed it.
Thunderbirds:
This show was edge-of-your-seat exciting!!
I forgot how much I enjoyed this theme song:
Alvin and The Chipmunks:
[video=youtube;DFxgFvbPGSg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFxgFvbPGSg[/video]
Those 3 sure did enjoyed the 80s! I also forgot how good the animation was for that intro. Come to think of it, that 80s sound that they most likely influenced my musical taste.
Maybe this will jog some memories down for the slightly older crowd:

My god...I got into this a few years back. It's truly one of the most...odd animes I've ever watched yet one of the funniest and definetly most badass.
Ben's puppies were born from Gin's dad's sheer manliness for god's sake. I love how the anime turns on a dime once the dogs start talking like 13 episodes in. lol
It's truly an experience to view this thing. Words somply cannot describe XD

There was a block of programming that came on every Saturday that I always watched. Had an orange mentioned in it (I can't remember the name of the block) but I remember that my favorite two shows on that were Spider-Man and The Real Ghostbusters! I believe they were only re-runs, but then Extreme Ghostbusters came out as well!! [video=youtube;2pDZpNNLXlM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDZpNNLXlM[/video]

When I was little I used to watch this show called "Dick and Dom in da Bungalow" all the time. Well, at least before it got cancelled. It was one of the funniest things on kids TV at the time - and dear god it was funny.
One of the parts of the show was where they went into public places and took it in turns to shout the word "bogies", getting louder and louder each time.

Living a Boy's Adventure Tale
Little Bear:
The Busy World of Richard Scarry:
How wild is it that someone's last name sounds just like 'Scary'?
Taz-mania
Yes, Taz had his own show, complete with an extended family that was nothing like him. I saw what was available in VHS rental copies.
That blue cat episode left a profound impact in me. Thankfully I outgrew that.
The (original) Pink Panther:
The original stuff still the best!!
I wanted to see the 90s remake, but after only seeing one episode, I knew it wasn't the same.
Bonkers:
One of those characters you hate to love.
The Paw-Paws:
Gotta love the that 1980s-style. Did then, still do today!
NASCAR Racers:
I don't think my friends held this show in high regard. Admittedly, I watched the re-runs on weekday afternoons during my early-teens, but the show has been on since I was finishing elementary school. I didn't care, it was about cars and I enjoyed it. No turning left here!! Wish I could've watched more of the second season, the one with race trucks. There was some serious stuff going on...
Police Academy: The Series
[video=youtube;YOE0F4i7GK8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOE0F4i7GK8[/video]
I watched some of the movies as a kid, and of course I didn't understand much of it, especially all the adult stuff, but what I did understand I enjoyed. So I was filled with glee when I found about the animated series, with many of the most recognized characters!
I watched what seemed to be a recorded marathon. TOO many episodes were in that single VHS copy!! I don't think I ever finished it. My head hurts just thinking about it.
It's today that I found out that there was a toy line!
I'm looking for a series. It was a direct Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rip-off, featuring dinosaurs (not Dinosaucers!), with color-marked armored uniforms, underground lair, sweet armored van.
The setting is in a city that's run by anthropic dinosaurs. Think of it as a cross between TMNT and Swat Kats.

So many of these i love so much! And you whom posted Pirates of the Dark Waters. I don't know how to thank you!!! I looked for the name of it for such a long time. And now when i found it i'm downloading the entire show Wooh!
I used to be a Johnny Quest nutt as a kid and recently rewatched the show. Why aren't cartoons more like that today? -_-
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE MENTIONED SWAT KATS :O
It should have been page one people!

Also, how do i post video's in the post and not as a link? :I

Well I loved Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, and the Animaniacs when I was a smallman. Especially Gargoyles. Rewatched it recently. Wow so good. So good.
Then in my pre-teens I was ALL ABOUT CN's Cartoon Cartoons. All of them I loved, but I guess my favorite was Courage The Cowardly Dog. I loved Teen Titans too.

That show was not as bad as it might have been! Plus it served as an early nail in my eventual furry coffin.Road Rovers:

Daemon Rising and My Two Bobs?
I rather love Daemon's arc as it actually explains a few things and was alluded to earlier in season 3. My two Bobs is Star Wars Prequel stupid sadly. :C

Daemon's arc was okay, My Two Bobs was atrocious and it ended in a cliffhanger cancellation.
