cartoon of that era I really couldn't stand was Captain Caveman, he just stood
there grunting "Caapppttaaaiiinnn Caaaavveeeemaaaaaannnnnnnn!!!!!" while the

I liked Captain Caveman but I remember little about the show. I know he
lived in a cave situated on top of a van.

On the other hand, my favourites of that time were Ulysses and Battle of the
Planets, and these do stand the test of time :-)

Ulysses was quiet good but BOTP was brilliant, you can get the video's in
HMV but the screen shots are pretty ropey. I'm worried I might not like it
so I haven't bought any. I'd be dissapointed if I didn't like it any more,
so I'll wait for a restored version. Maybe Gatchaman will get a release (the
series botp was created from).

Of course if we're talking childhood sci-fi reminices we can't leave out
Star Fleet, I even contemplated building X-bomber in Lego the other day, but
decided against.

(...) I bought one recently and the quality of the video is pretty bad, so if this would bother you you were probably right to avoid it. It is still great to watch though, 7 Zark 7 is even funnier in retrospect :-) Jennifer (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I'm with Jennifer on this one. I always thought Captain Caveman was rubbish. I saw it recently and realised why. It's full of pauses between dialogue, like really hammy child acting, and most irritating of all it's got a laughter line that (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Sure the plots were pretty dire, but the characters were great, particularly Shaggy and Scooby! I can't remember any episodes but I liked these guys.
