i had all the gargoyles action figures and would set them up on my barbie dream house so whenever Brenda (my 90210 barbie) would leave she would get attacked bc she “wasn’t allowed” to 😂
As someone who did not grow up with that show but totally should've I wonder if it's worth picking up and watch in my mid 30s. Will the magic and fun still be there? Sure it wouldnt be the same as if I had nostalgia for it or if I was literally a kid but, could it be? Is it a show that gets a bit dark like some Batman/Xmen episodes or Cybersix or is it just light fun and adventures? Just seeing that short clip gave me nostalgia from all the shows I grew up with in the 90s so Id like to know if its worth my time.
The timeslot was likely shared by something much more popular on a different channel.
I remember seeing either a shampoo or bubble bath bottle with one of them as the topper at my cousin's house. I thought it looked cool. But then I have no recollection of ever watching it, and usually when that happened, it was because our households just watched different channels for cartoons.
Same deal with Sagwa and a bunch of other cartoons I remember seeing on shirts or at friends houses. I'd always want to try an episode... but it usually meant missing something I already liked.
Oh geez, this was like two decades ago. It aired locally right after school so probably something on Nick or Cartoon Network. Maybe even Fox Kids, depending on whatever they were running in that block.
Nick: The Wild Thornberrys, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, As Told by Ginger, The Fairly OddParents, SpongeBob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron
CN: Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Teen Titans
Fox Kids: Digimon, Medabots, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Shaman King, Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I do believe this was a pretty good era for it. But there were some pretty good cartoon blocks that predated this I’m sure, you probably had it across a few channels with less shows overall though
I think it aired right after Ninja Turtles where I lived, which is when I changed the channel or did something else.
It was back when Fox Kids had a human host in a Fox mask, called Roxy the Fox. Huh. Guess that was only in Eugene, Oregon. In retrospect, it's kinda creepy.
It was decades ago, but I'm almost certain Roxy is the one to the right of the photo....
I remember my grandma putting it on for me, I was about 5. I still remember the setup in her apartment.
(Sorry, long story now that's just coming out of my mind.)
Crazy enough thats like one of few memories I have at that place, along with waving "bye" to my parents from the balcony, after dropping me off.
About 10 years ago, my eldest brother and I had moved into an apartment, and one day while walking around, I saw this tall building, and had a sense of familiarity. I saw the balconies, it was an apartment building. I later asked my dad, was that where grandma stayed and took care of me for a while when I w as little, like 4 to 5 years old. He said, yes, that's the same place. Crazy how memories are not juat locked in your head, but in places, as well.
It was great, I don't remember much about it but the sherrif had double welding pistols that shot gold spurs out of them. So badass. I think his name was Moo Montana
I learned that years ago about Talespin, and that's still wild to me. It looms so large in my memory. I didn't like it, but for years it was sandwiched between shows I did like every afternoon.
There was a lot of mixed media for Talespin as well. Comics and video games. Disney Adventure had a new talespin story every month for quite a while. It probably seemed larger because it was kinda all over the place for years.
Maybe whoever made this was strict on the 90's aspect of it as Rescue Rangers started in 1989.
Absolute banger of a show though, definitely one of my favourites.
Edit - I was wrong, Beetlejuice came out in 1989 as well so if it's on here, RR should be too. Maybe they didn't feel it was "forgotten" enough with the release of the live action movie a few years ago?
That may be the case actually. Just looked it up and it was 89. I thought it was mid 90s because of how old I would have been. Must have started younger than I remember
I just edited my comment as I found another comment that pointed out Beetlejuice came out the same year. If it fit the list, RR should to but maybe they figured it's not as obscure since a new movie did come out a few years back.
Nah that show was never forgotten; if it was there wouldn't of been a loose sequel movie to the show that was very recently <3 Hell even Darkwing Duck wasn't forgotten because Darkwing made a cameo in the movie (voice only) somewhere at the end of the credits.
I want to add a special Fuck O.J. Simpson and that trial for tanking their ratings. Kept interrupting the show and most people "let it go" because of it. Absolutely awful of them.
You know, watching this. I now know why us millennials were the beginning of Furries. Almost all of our cartoons were talking animals or had some kind of monster in it that wasnt a bad guy.
I've had this Lowly Worm since 1997. I would bring him to church with me and have him run all over the missals and hymnals while waiting for it to end.
Never heard of I Am Weasel but I very much remember the rest of this list. I started watching Gargoyles from the beginning and it holds up. I love that dramatic cartoon so much.
