Time for me to post again, methinks, since this is getting me all nostalgic. There were some truly top kids shows in the 80s, but I think my favourites were the UK kiddies cartoons (except Superted, which was poo). It's just set me wondering though - did people from outside the UK get to see such masterpieces as Dangermouse, Willo the Wisp, Bananaman and the like? However, despite all my nostalgia... idleberry@yahoo.com writes: Kids shows nowadays do not match up, in PURE, CLASSNESS. I don't think this is strictly true - if you're a lucky blighter, you'll have Cartoon Network, and can see the magic of Cow and Chicken, Johnny Bravo, I Am Weasel and Dexter's Laboratory. They are wonderful! I remember the Belle and Sebastian cartoon series, but I remember I hated it 'cos it wasn't funny, and the series always seemed to go on forever. Now, it would've been much better if B&S had been around to score the music - chases to Judy is a Dickslap, Belle & Sebastian as the theme music (okay, it wouldn't be very appropriate, but it would be a helluva lot better). It'd be top. Maybe they could redub the stories to fit in with the songs. Ah, you can always dream... Well, I can't think of anymore stuff to write (except to ask, should I be worried if someone tells me I look like Badly Drawn Boy without a teacosy on his head? I mean, his album's a winner and all, but... I don't think I do at all...) Ah well, bye all, Marc. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
