Cary's Top Ten Favorite Saturday Morning Cartoons!


Posted on 11/05/2014 at 12:40 PM | Filed Under Blogs

My two favorites were definitely Garfield and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which were my favorite cartoon shows until The Simpsons came out.

On your list, I also liked Captain N (was also a watcher of the Super Mario Bros Super Show and the Zelda cartoons). I also did watch Muppet Babies when I was a kid.

Other favorites of mine:

Smurfs. That one ran for a LOOOONG time.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: one of my big exposures to pop music back in the 1980s.

Galaxy High: A joint Japanese-American production about a couple of Earth kids (a popular football jock and a nerdy girl) sent to an intergalactic high school, where their roles in the social hierarchy are reversed. The series was produced by Chris Columbus, the music for it was done by Don Felder of the Eagles.

ABC also had the "Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show" which aired both old and new Looney Tunes shorts, though they tended to stick with more recent (for the time) shorts. I'm a big Looney Tunes fan, so I dug that.

One other aspect of Saturday morning cartoons in the late 1990s I enjoyed were the "Fido Dido" bumpers that announced commercial breaks on CBS cartoons like Garfield, Muppet Babies, and TMNT.  The characters were originally created for a marketing campaign for 7-Up and are still used to advertise 7-Up in Brazil and India. They were pretty creative.

Finally, one of my favorite episodes of Futurama is "Futurama Saturday Morning Fun Pit" which spoofs 1980s cartoons and their consumerism. It even includes a humorous bumper sequence.

Cool. Good job on making the front page. Wasn't this blog on 1UP? I seem to remember reading it there.

That probably isn't a bad idea, all things considered.

Love me some “Hatred"

It was a PC game, not a console game, and back then, mainstream media only gave a shit about games like Myst and The 7th Guest. In addition to the violent subject matter, it also showed admittedly pixelated sex between one of your targets, a rock star, and a female groupie who was riding him like a pony.

On my gaming shelf, the top shelf is devoted to my four favorite game series: Zelda, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Tales. I have cobbled together every mainline FF game ever made, every Zelda ever made, every main Dragon Quest game (except 3, whose GBC incarnation I am searching for), and every Tales game released in the US, including the GBA version of Phantasia and the two PS1 Tales games.

What Bayonetta Could Learn from The Big Lebowski

Yeah, that's true. I hope you understood I wasn't bagging on the blog, which is good. The title just reminded me of something Polygon would write as a title. Only they tend to compare apples to Chicken McNuggets in some of their articles. :)

Bayonetta 2 is here!


Posted on 10/25/2014 at 02:17 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I picked up Bayonetta 2 today, which was fortunate. It was the last copy of the game in town. Apparently this has been something of a hot commodity for Gamestop today. I suppose I could have just bought the downloadable version, but I really wanted the game on disc (as well as owning both games, though you can do that on the downloadable version as well.)

Man oh man, is this game fun. It beats the original in every way, and the original Bayonetta was already my favorite of the beat-em-up DMC/GoW genre. This cranks the whole thing up to eleven. The story is still as schlocky and raunchy as ever, but when the game itself is this good, I don't give a damn.  I'll take this over any God of War game any day of the week.

The title of this post looks like a parody of a Polygon article.

Interesting. I'm in the "waiting for Wii U version" Smash Bros camp myself. Wonder how the Mewtwo download will work if you have both.

Guess what came in the mail today? #2

I'm definitely down for some Bayo 2 action today! Best games of that type ever made.
