ive been trying to think which thread i should post a recent realisation

cant think what is was but i suddenly thought of this cartoon i watched as a kid, "sky commanders", i remember it being a big deal, loads of toys to buy based on the series the full deal...looked it up, one series of 13 episode, tiny legacy online. Its weird how we remember these things so much bigger than they actually were

Less choice back in the day. So shows that made it on the telly were huge

I don't remember that one. I did hunt for years for info about the Galaxy Rangers and half believed I dreamed it. Then I found the Toy Galaxy Youtube channel which discussed it and then a week later Mark Bernadin on the Fatman Beyond podcast mentioned it.

Here's their Sky Commanders episode:

Dino-riders! another one i remember being huge...one season, Ring Raiders...only 5 episodes!

Reboot and Gargoyles were legit though

Thundercats was great. Used to be on What Now on Saturdays

i had a nostelgia phase a few years ago and bought the first series on dvd

Wasn’t a huge fan of the show but one of my favourite t-shirts

Siam

@booboo same. Got recollections of mum watching it

I remember on wet mornings listening to the radio for rugby cancellation, and then being annoyed when it was cancelled, but then being happy that I could watch Thundercats and What Now. I also used to like Dungeons and Dragons.

I never pictured you with a ponytail until now

I haven't played the game, just watched the tv show as a kid.

I think I'd have a topknot rather than ponytail if I did grow my hair long.

@booboo That's Enemy at the Door. This one was set in Belgium.

@nepia sweet! cheers

will also look up "centurions", thats the other one i remember loving

Ok, one of the more blatant “my phone listens to me” examples, this popped up in my feed just now

Tim

Frisky Dingo was partially a parody of Centurions. Made by the guy who did Archer and Sealab 2021.

Same same, plus SuperTed, Lucky Luke, Inspector Gadget, Dangermouse, some of which may never have actually been on Saturday morning TV, my memory is a touch hazy
