When I think back on a snapshot of my life I think back to my earlier days. I distinctly recall the 80’s and early 90’s. As I travel back through to my earlier days I chuckle a little as I remember different little quirks. The first thing that comes to my mind are Saturday morning cartoons. I’m not talking about the cartoons today. Back then it was worth it to wake up extra early to see all of the best cartoons, hour after hour all morning long. Below I have collected some of my favorite cartoon theme songs to bring you back to a time in my life that I wish I could revisit. You’ll notice that some videos are included and others are linked. The best ones are included but I recommend viewing all of them. They are all about one minute long each. So enjoy!
To start with some classics we go to:
“Thundercats hoooo .“
And of Course when you’re ready for some “Hero’s in a half shell.” Ninja Turtles is the only way to go “Turtle power.”
You’ll never go wrong along with GI Joe the real American hero.
If you’ve ever gotten a feeling for getting dangerous then you can join:
Darkwing Duck “Lets get dangerous”
And remember it never hurts to help with Eek the cat.
We also need to cover those cartoons that everyone knew the theme song to:
Remember “Ducktales wooo ooh”
Or “Cha Cha Chip n dale rescue ranger’s”
And of course nobody can forget Ghostbusters “Who you gonna call?”
Then we get into some serious cartoons accompanied by true 80’s theme songs:
King Arthur and the Knight of Justice
Galaxy High was complete with 80’s voice altering theme song.
Captain Planet was there for all those who were into saving the planet while watching cartoons.
Next we come to the cartoons where everyone tried as hard as they could to memorize the theme song. And you were the coolest kid in school if you could sing them.
And, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. (I know this isn’t a carton but I was so proud when I learned this rap that I felt it needed to be included.)
And lastly if you didn’t get enough these are a few of my other personal favorites:
Transformers . . . more than meets the eye?
Voltron. Ready to form Voltron? Go Voltron force!
He-man and the Master’s of the Universe
You know that you’re in the middle of an 80’s flashback if you hear the phrase:

You know that you’re in the middle of an 80’s flashback if you hear the phrase:
“Whoa that was sooo gnarly.”
Or
“ Radical”
Or
“Come on dipstick, you need to chill or something” and, “Don’t have a cow man.”
And finally, If you know how to correctly use the word “Bogus” and play air guitar every time you’re happy then you know that you are a product of Bill and Ted.
So the next time you’re out and about somewhere and you see some kids who look funky to you and talks about things that you just don’t understand in a language that seem very foreign to you just remember that long before the weird trends of today, the 80’s and early 90’s were here and will always be a time of Super freakiness.

Just flippin' through class blogs for ideas and fun-- I loved this! My favorites: Animaniacs, Jem and the Hollograms, Tiny Toons, Thunder Cats, Gargoyles, Duck Tales, The Smurfs, The Littles, Dungeons and Dragons, Fraggle Rock, and Charlie's Angels (I know the last one isn't animated but--). It was awesome to watch the beginning of Thunder Cats again.
I like to scroll through the blogs before I read them, just to get an idea of how long it is, what's in it, things like that. When I scrolled through yours I thought "yay! cartoons!"
It's too bad cartoons can't be this awesome anymore, but that's life I guess.
I found it a little bit unpleasant that some of the clips were linked and some were embedded. I would have liked to see them all just embedded in the blog rather than opening a new page for it. If you just did it for the sake of the assignment I might suggest linking the titles to other random related sites, rather than to youtube.
Also it would've been cool to hear some more of your personal insights into the Saturday morning cartoon activities. Most of it seemed like it was just quick little intros to the cartoons.
But pretty awesome all together. I love seeing stuff like that which I was so obsessed with when I was a kid. I remember I always wanted to watch that king arthur one but I never really got to because it was on Sunday morning and my mom always made us get ready for church. *sigh*
Here are a few more that I thought of just for the sake of nostalgia: Beetlejuice, Inspector Gadget, Captain N, Peewee's Playhouse (Not really a cartoon but pretty close), Silverhawks (kind of obscure I think), X-men, Mighty Max, Bravestarr, Dino Riders, etc. And of course all the "after school" shows like batman and Tail Spin.
Wow, I've been thinking about this way too long. I have to go write about somebody else's blog now.
p.s. Nice cover song.
I remember so many those cartoons. Although I don't remember Thunder Cats.
The links to video did feel a little weird but I did like the links at the end to the pictures. But I also think that is where you made judgments.
I also would have liked more personal insights - it is suppose to be a snap shot into your life from the intro paragraph, not just about the cartoons.
This post really brought back memories!
