Did you guys watch _Heathcliff, Little Koala, Duck Tales,_ or \*Maya the Bee \*when you were little? 'Cause if you’re feeling nostalgic, go to [http://www2.wi.net/~rkurer/ttra80.htm](http://www2.wi.net/~rkurer/ttra80.htm). It has the RealAudio of the theme songs of lots of cartoon shows from the 80s and early 90s. It also has other sites for the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Pretty cool. Just if anyone is interested. 🙂

Sometimes I still watch them. They pop up on Nick and Disney Channel sometimes.

Voltron RULES!!!

I was at KBToys the other day, and they had Voltron toys! They weren’t the cool cast iron ones we had, but they were still cool. I want one for Christmas.

Well, that was frightening.

I found that I know every word to half of those themes. By heart. Without even hearing the music.

No wonder I can’t remember to do my chores… I’ve still got _this_ crap taking up space. Sheesh.

Let me add that they also have themes to cartoons from the earlier decades too. Stroll down Memory Lane, anyone?

Yes, as well as many others. Mayaaaaaa, Maya the bee! (Now I am singing the theme song) I especially liked how she would get mad and flew up to sting someone but it actually looked like she had a big turtle head/snake sticking out and a constipated look on her face. 🙂 It was too funny. I liked Kidd Video, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors (that one was awesome…I liked the evil plantoid life things), as well as many others.

HUGS!

I used to watch all of those.

There’s actually a new Voltron, completely CG, and it’s one of the suckiest things I’ve ever seen on television. Not like the new Transformers, which isn’t half bad.

Under the cartoons section there are .wav clips from Thundercats. But be prepared, they’re not show clips, they’re outtakes…

I love Ducktales!!! Hell, I have a Donald Duck keychain right now.  
Does anyone else out there have the complete Carl Barks library?
