Childhood TV Shows That You Barely Remember -

[Tardar the Barbarian]

What was that one tb show that was on Disney XD it had like the 7 dwarfs and like some witch woman with pink hair I think? I distinctly remember her partner in crime. He kinda looked like knock off Tsukiyama Shuu from Tokyo Ghoul but with like a big nose. It KINDA looked like gravity falls but it wasn't.

And what was that other Disney XD show and it had this fat orange cat and this blue little alien? They were both taken care of this old lady and it was pretty charming tbh.

The first one is where Kelly Osbourne voiced that pink haired witch.

The second one is this.

there was an anime Cartoon Network used to air in the mid 90s late at night I’d watch. I remember it had a bird motif, all the main characters had suits based on various birds. It was a space battle kind of anime but I can’t remember the name of it. It was an older anime, probably mid to late 70s

edit: G-Force Guardians of Space. That was the one

It's originally based on Ninja Science Team Gatchaman before they redubbed it as Galaxy Force, or something.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I remember this show being one of the earliest shows on Fox Kids back in the day. I watched it maybe once or twice, and virtually nothing about it stayed with me except for the fact that the characters were all pigs.

Fox Kids had a lot of weird shows that I have vague memories of but nobody seems to remember, like Dog City and Mr. Bogus.

Yes those thank you!
Disney XD was pretty good ngl. I think the only show I didn't care for was pickle and peanut, but I can't lie that the stuff that did from from XD was nice. I remember they started an anime block and at ONE point they had Naruto Shippuden on there? I thought it was a fever dream but apparently no it wasn't.
Granted I wasn't into naruto at the time but I am STILL trying to wrap my head around this.

Anybody else remember "Muppet Classic Theater" from back in the 90's?

IIRC, it was one of the first direct to video Muppets movies and it was fairly good from what I remember. I know it was released on VHS but I'm not sure if it made it to DVD or Blu-Ray. I know it didn't make it to streaming.

Basically, it was the Muppets reenacting several fairy tales and fables

Not sure if that counts as TV, since it was technically a direct to video movie but the childhood movies thread is pretty much long dead.

Muppets Treasure Island was my favorite.

 

[Big Ruski]

Lol I just remembered Kappa Mikey on Nicktoons, thought it was a weird fever dream I had

Its about a down and out American actor who gets a role on a popular Japanese TV show. Its mostly about his experiences living in a fictional Japan.

I remembered a couple of things from this show. The titular character couldn't make the overexaggerated "anime" faces because he's American, which is a reoccurring joke, and the blue hair dude is voiced by the guy who did Goku. I also had a small cartoon crush on the blonde girl for some reason.

 

[Racist Trash]

I bet nobody knows Fly Tales, a French-Canadian cartoon from the late 90s involving the adventures of a little fly. It used to air super early in the morning and was pretty cute.

Oh shit I remember watching that.

Muppets Treasure Island was my favorite.

Christmas Carol for me, but it kind of feels like cheating to pick that since it's such a seasonal juggernaut. Treasure Island is my second favourite so having that as your first pick feels more valid lol

I feel like Treasure Island had more of that "oomph" factor going for it.

And, Tim Curry.

 

[The Great Citracett]

Project Geeker was pretty good, but nobody seems to remember it. Created by the guy who made Earthworm Jim, interesting premise, tons of famous voice actors, but it only lasted one season because CBS nuked their entire Saturday morning cartoon lineup because of poor overall ratings. Looks like the whole series is on YouTube.

My brother was absolutely obsessed with The Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa. It lasted 2 seasons. The setting and premise were bizarre and only get weirder the more you think about it. It's like a cow-pun filled steampunk western starring cow furries. They even got a well-known country singer to do the theme song which lays out the basic lore and concept. This whole series is on YouTube too.

 

[Lemming0448]

Spider Riders wasn't anything special from what I remember, but the opening was pretty catchy.

My introduction to Archie and pals was from Archie's Weird Mysteries

Dinosaur King was another show trying to capitalize on Pokemon's popularity

Just remembered this one. Team Galaxy

Guano Guano!

 

[Dollar Store Sentai]

I remember super early Nickelodeon shows that would come on while waiting for Double Dare and You can't do that on Television like Spartacus and the Sun Beneath the Sea along with another one that was fairly religious that I can't remember the name of. (Nor a lot of details)

Then there was Video Power, a kickass show in the early days of Nintendo that would give you hints and tips along with cartoons. It eventually got turned into a game show where kids got to run through a maze strapping games to a velcro vest or some shit.

Dinosaur King was another show trying to capitalize on Pokemon's popularity

I remember watching a few episodes of this. The concept was definitely a Pokemon ripoff, but I give it a point for at least having a plot, albeit a simple one, unlike Pokemon, which lost its focus long, long ago.

That said, the stories could get batshit crazy sometimes. I remember there being a bald old man character with a unibrow and a bushy beard, but he was actually a robot, and to get him back to normal, they had to flip his head upside down so that he looked like he had a lot of hair and a mustache instead.

To further drive the Pokemon comparison, the main kid had Ash Ketchum's voice, and the evil chick that's totally not Jessie had Jessie's voice. Homage or not caring? You decide.

When I first watched it, the plot was... relatively good. I just thought it was weird as a kid that the main character sounded like Ash.

[Chef Hanlon]

I remember this show called Edgar and Ellen

I liked the aesthetic and style as a kid, as I thought it was cool back then. They had a kind of gothic Tim Burton-ish vibe to them. Now that I look back at the plot it seems rather funny that they were basically two malevolent autists who only existed to cause misery to the normies by pulling elaborate pranks on them.

 

[Yukari Yakumo]

I'm honestly surprised this dumb thread about me asking about a show I thought was a fever dream got so much traction, holy shit. Also @Chef Hanlon have you ever heard of Ruby Gloom? Fucking loved that show as a kid as much as Edgar and Ellen for the same sort of reasons.
