  • Forgotten cartoons

    What cartoons from the 1980s and 90s do you think are now forgotten or have faded into obscurity? Include details about which year they were shown and the TV channel - such as BBC on Saturday mornings in 1987, or CITV weekday afternoons in 1995 if you can remember them.

    Can't remember exactly when these were on:

    New Shmoo - I think was on in the afternoon after school?

    The Fabulous Funnies I remember being on Sundays, before or after The Smurfs:


    Despite both these being made in the 70s I remember watching them in the 80s.

            When were the following cartoons shown:

            Kissyfur
            Galaxy High
            Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures
            Once Upon a Time, Man
            Defenders of the Earth
            Visionaries
            Lazer Tag Academy
            M.A.S.K.
            JEM and the Holograms
            Telebugs

            They were before my time so I have only watched recordings of them.

            Was Challenge of the Gobots and The Centurians ever shown on TV in Britain or was it just released on VHS?

                Ludwig used to be on BBC1 at 5:35 or 5:40pm during the 1970s. It was the last of the children's programmes that started at 4:00pm showing Play School. I believe the cartoon was made in former Eastern Europe, possibly Czechoslovakia or Hungary.

                      Deputy Dawg was fabulous ( and still is , worryingly) and on YouTube.

                      I wish they'd show it on TV again !!

                        I used to like Sport Billy.

                        It's always struck me as odd that some cartoon seemed to be shown again & again for years, but others only seemed to get one screening & vanish.

                          Yes they were. Details are hazy, but they were shown here.

                              I loved the New Shmoo!



                              Another cartoon I remember was Godzilla (with Godzooki).
