Let's test people's memories of 80's Afternoon TV on the ABC (Australia)
Do you remember Star Blazers Captain Harlock Beans Baxter Monkey Doctor Who Ulysses 31 Mysterious Cities of Gold Inspector Gadget Danger Mouse and a host of others.
ok how about Marine Boy Astro Boy Monkey The Banana Splits (or were they the 70's) Catweasel Auto Cat and Motor Mouse Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kids Danger Island (with a very young Jan Michael Vincent) errrr... I'll stop now
Yeah...although some of those were still playing in the 80s, (I think), they were 1970s shows, eg. Catweasel and AutoCat and Motormouse. Do you remember other 70s shows, such as: The Hair Bear Bunch Josie and the Pussycats The Wacky Races The Cattanooga Cats Kimba the White Lion Casper ? When I was very young I loved a show called Space Ace...but I don't know if I've ever come across anyone else who remembers it!
Oh yes I loved Josie, Wacky Races, Cattanooga Cats (the cattanoog cats are doing their thing) , but Kimba always made me cry. It always seemed so dark and scary unlike the Lion King which has absolutely no resemblance to Kimba at all . (Oddly enough I still remember parts of the songs
"who lives down in deepest darkest Africia Who's the one that bought the jungle fame who believes in doing good and doing right Kimba the white lion is the one"
Hmmm .. I dont remember a show called Space Ace but there was something called Space Race and it was like Wacky Races just done in space and going from planet to planet
