oh maaaaan. I was already too much of a disaffected teenager by 1987, I don't remember ANY of these...

I do remember Pound Puppies and the ALF series.

Of course, what matters most of all is "Hello Kitty's Furrytale Theater." I must check YouTube!

Pound Puppies was one of the great "way better than it had to be" TV shows. :) Shame about the new one, tho.

I loved My Pet Monster!!

In somewhat related news, I noticed that there was a clown something or other there. Let the record show that I belong in the category of people who associate clowns with instant nightmare fuel!

~Waves~ With you on that one.

Ah man. This is the year I was born!

*Interested to see the results*

[cooperwench.livejournal.com]

Yeah...This is when I was still watching cartoons after work on Saturday and my parents were like "Ummm....Shouldn't you be outgrowing these?! You read FANGORIA..."

[cherry-faery.livejournal.com]

There is nothing about cartoons that prevents one from enjoying the wonder that is Fangoria!

(Also, that's a fantastic icon you have there!)

[cooperwench.livejournal.com]

ABSOLUTELY NOT...If anything I would say it enhances it. But their point was,....I was moving on to more mature tastes, yet still watching "kid shows"

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! Only instead of Fangoria, it was a hard-core interest in the vintage collectibles market :)

[cooperwench.livejournal.com]

oooh, into that now. That's why I love ebay.

Yay, I'm so glad Little Wizards made the list!

I know it was a flop, but I loved it at the time.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

The opening credits make it look pretty good, almost like an animated version of Rober Aspirin's "Myth Adventures" series?

[mspette.livejournal.com]

I've no idea, I'm going to have to google the one you mentioned. :-)

Really? That's the list? Huh. Seems like there should be more. I guess so many of the ones I watched didn't premier this year.

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

'87 was a bit of a barren wasteland, wasn't it? But it also had the second and third seasons of all sorts of great stuff from '85 and '86 which made it a good Saturday :)

[aurora77]

That's exactly it. Most of what I watched was already running the previous year. They had so much good content already. Alf and Pound Puppies were my faves from this year.
