Yes, I remember them things...I couldn't stand them! All the boys on my street had those! They used to gross me out and just thinking about'em still grosses me out! **little girl voice*** EEEWWWWWWW! LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif


I remember Fraggle Rock. Redd was my favorite! I think I still have it on video somewhere.
I also agree that the 1st Neverending story was better than part 2.


Ok, I just remembered something...ya'll remember Schoolhouse Rock!?
**Conjunction junction, what's it's function** (or something like that...I'd always forget how it went http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif)
I think someone told me there's a website for this. I think it's like schoolhouserock.com or something like that.

**I just found out that it is indeed schoolhouserock.com for anyone that wants to check it out**

VctoriasSecrt, I used to have about 200 Garbage Pail Kids cards. the guys and I used to trade them after buying a brand new pack at the nearest convenience store in Queens, NY. I was (probably still am, hehe) a tomboy and LOVED the free gum in the pack! My favorite was Betty Booger lol!!LOLOLOL!

they were so gross, but i absolutely loved to trade them too...i can't remember the name of it, but there was this one girl with peanut butter and jelly all over her face and hands...that was my favorite one http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Miss Nik, for the record, the Tom & Jerry maid (whose name was Mammy Two-Shoes) NEVER had her face shown on TV. However, on one cartoon, Part Time Pal (1940), they showed a silhouette of Mammy Two Shoes chasing Tom in the moonlight and swinging a broom. The silhouette clearly showed the stereotypical black mammy (do-rag, overweight, etc.). Oh, did you know that in the Tom & Jerry cartoons now, the old, Mammy Two-Shoes voice is now replaced by a more (for lack of a better word) 90s-ish black woman? If you watch Tom & Jerry on the Cartoon Network, try and catch a cartoon called Dog Trouble, and you will hear what I mean.

To all you cartoon lovers out there, all your favorite cartoons are chronicled at TVParty.com. Click on the Saturday Morning Cartoons icon, and you will see clips of cartoons from 1971-1988.

I've noticed that Rain Man. They don't even show some Tom & Jerry episodes that I grew up with and they've edited the ones they show. You how something will blow up in either Tom or Jerry's face and they'll have a black face with big lips. The one they don't show, but I rememeber is when they are in Africa and in one scene where Tom is in this huge black pot, Jerry is made up in black face, big lips, and uses poor english.

I guess those some scenes are not considered "politically correct" today.

C&C, the Tom & Jerry cartoon you are referring to was called "His Mouse Friday". It featured Tom in the middle of an ocean laying on a wooden board (shipwreck victim?). A wave flips him off the board on a desert island. I don't remember where Jerry came into play but Jerry took some black off the pot and put it on his face, disguising himself as a cannibal native, and told Tom "Up in pot, UP IN POT!" and has Tom cutting potatoes and carrots. Well, Jerry gets caught up in the moment and does this little native dance, and his grass skirt falls off, giving him away. Well, Tom escapes, only to get caught by real natives, being poked with a spear. One the of the natives said "Ummmmmm! *licking lips* Bahhhhbequed cat." Tom runs off and the natives chase him. Jerry laughs and walks away only to get poked by a spear and one native said "Ummmmmm. *licking lips* Bahhhhhbequed mouse." Well, Jerry runs off with the native chasing after him and the cartoon ends.

I know what 'chu talkin' 'bout. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yes, I watched T&J religiously as a kid, the "traditional" Fred Quimby ones (1940-57), the CinemaScope ones (1957-60), those wack Gene Dietch one with the weird sound effects (1960-64?), those "aiiight" Chuck Jones toons (1965-69?), and even those wack Filmation toons (1970s). I did my homework.

It makes me wonder how a cartoon can move to be "politically correct" yet some television shows or other facets of entertainment haven't yet reached that point!

Singing "Memories, in the corner of my mind" LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I would hate to ask you all what happened or what you were doing on May 8, 1977 at 11:10 AM! Everyone's mememories is so vivid when it comes to cartoons!

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind
