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!

Ah man. This is the year I was born!

*Interested to see the results*

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..."

~Waves~ With you on that one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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"

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.

'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 :)

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.

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