To stay tuned to this station.

Every single thing you guys mentioned were crackers in their day. Voltron, Transformers, Ninja Turtles have all tried to be remade but can't hold a candle to the originals.

Robotech was kick ass, then Manga got popular and forgot what it was all about. I used to love Guyver as well, another Manga classic.

Blinky bill
mulgabills bicycle
The man from ironbark
The loaded dog
Im sure som of you would no these stories

Ah yes, a time when I was happy, didn't have any problems, or any money for that matter. Not much has changed (well not the money anyway) but oh how I'd love to go back for a while. You guys have already mentioned most of my favourite cartoons but lets not forget HeMan: Matser of the Universe. My Brother had like all the action figures and the castle, also had the voltron castle and all the lions. You know that stuff actually fetches money now Edit - if they bodge up this Transformers movie suposably in the making there are gonna be soo many riots they'll think it was France or something

What about Shintaro ? Go the star knifes!.

I'm old enough that I remember getting excited about seeing 'Humphrey the Bear' in colour for the first time

They were still selling 120Ys back then

Ouch, that's gotta hurt!

I had all the Voltron peices to make the giant cat, dunno what happened to it, wish i still had it cuz it's worth a fortune...

Danger mouse.. how could i forget, i watched it religousley every arvo.

TV? Who had TV?
Well, I remember 'Portia Faces Life', 'The Search fot the Golden Boomerang'. & 'Dr McKenzie, MD' [All were Radio serials]
Later on I remember when all the kids in the street gathered at one house to watch 'Zorro' because there WAS only one house in the street that actually had TV.
'Peter Gunn' was a private eye, & this show was so riveting that, to my knowledge, it has NEVER been re-run.

FE Holdens were new & no-one had ever heard of something like a Datsun, & if we had, no one would buy one because they came from a country that was our wartime enemy & ex-soldiers had long memories. [how quickly things changed]

Meanwhile those godawfull, gutless, unreliable, mobile oil leaks, known as British cars, were to be seen everywhere. No cars had PCV, oil quality was poor by todays standards, & sludge buildup was as thick as a mudslide in some of the engines that my stepfather pulled down in his service station.
If engines actually HAD an oil filter, it was most likely a by-pass type, & kerosene flushes were often done at oil change time [Sometimes twice] in an attempt to stop the new oil turning black before the car got back home.
There were many cars on the road that still had mechanical brakes which by then had all the effectiveness of a feather on a cannonball, & all of them had skinny cross ply tyres on even skinnier wheels.

At school, authauritarian teachers uses a cane 'switch' to maintain dicipline & if they took a dislike to you, then just watch out. Racial vilification was a way of life & Australia was awash with bloody 'wogs' & 'refo's' almost all of whom made a bigger contribution to Australia than most white Australians, which was another reason to hate them.
Australia's national diet was three vegetables & meat, which was the most boooring & bland fare you can imagine after a steady diet of it for all of your [young] life.

When I was becoming a young man. all the young women had one answer to 'the' question.... NO!
Not because they were frightened of the bull, but because they were frightened of the calf, & celibacy was a way of life untill our 20's when we got married. [& for many, not much changed after that]

So what was so good about the 'Olden Days'?
In my vew, the best part is the fact that they are GONE, & these days are the best it's ever been.
Retro, ... & re-runs, are cool.

Interesting. Also interestin is the fact that my Grandparents had the first Tv in Ingham in thier newsagency. I told the lady that was running the jiont now and she gave me a blank stare. Another interesting piont is I haven't seen 1 mention of Disney cartoons! everybody loved Disney at some piont right?
