The Kwicky Koala Show, the bane of my Saturday Mornings! This was on during one of the "Dead Times" of Saturday morning where I would spend the entire morning switching back and forth between the 12 channels on our dial hoping that SOMETHING would end up looking fun.

But hey! Maybe this is YOUR favorite Staurday Morning cartoon! If so, be sure to go and vote for it in our Best Cartoon of 1981 Poll and leave a few find comments below to let others know how much you love this show :)cc

Fan Page: The New Adventures of Batman

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

1981 marked the departure of The New Adventures of Batman, a cartoon that I hold near and dear to my heart. Not only did it feature the vices of Adam West and Burt Ward (the Batman and Robin from the 1960's live-action TV show), but it also included my two favorite terrible cartoon ideas:

• Bat-Mite: If you think Scrappy-Doo is annoying, just give Bat-Mite a try for a while!
• The Bat-Computer: As we all know, our cartoons had to convey some sort of moral or socially-conscious message like "Always brush your teeth" or "Drugs are bad mmkay?" For the most part it was up to the kids to figure out the message of the show on their own. But on The New Adventures of Batman, every epiode ended with The Bat-Computer blaring a flashing and loud alert of "BAT-MESSAGE! BAT-MESSAGE!" which would then lead to Batman and Robin and Bat-Mite all talking about what the message of this episode was. IT WAS ASTOUNDING!

So if The New Adventures of Batman is one of YOUR favorites like it was mine, then be sure to go and vote for it in our Best of 1981 Poll and leave your own personal memories or feeling about the show in the comments below :)

Poll: Breakfast Cereal Part I - TV, Movies & Toys

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Since LJ limits our polls to just 15 options per survey, I've decided to split the Breakfast Cereal Poll in to three different polls for the three major types of breakfast cereal you may have eaten. First up is this one, "TV, Movies & Toys". This is for all the cereals that were just another cog in the great be marketing machine for various products. If you doubt the existence of any of these cereals or just need to jog your memory, don't forget that you can click on the name in order to see the commercial for that particular cereal :)

Our next cereal poll, btw, will be "Healthy Cereal" - Those cereals that tried to market themselves as a healthy alternative with "less sugar" and "More vitamins". And then after that, the third cereal poll, "Sugary Cereals".

Fan Page: The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show Featuring Baby Plas

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Be careful which Plastic Man cartoon you're voting for! There's a reason why Plastic Man has two different fan pages. This page right here is for the wackier version of the show which was less about fighting crime and more about the adorably wacky antics of "Baby Plas".

I have no idea why, but I have a very soft spot in my heart for this version of Plastic Man :)

Share your memories, stories and other feelings about Plastic Man and/or Baby Plas in the comments below. And if you've a mind to, don't forget to go and vote for this in the Best Cartoon of 1981 Poll!
