GALAXY RANGERS! You can't slip one past me :) Of course we won't be covering The Galaxy Rangers till we hit the "Syndicated" stuff some time in October (by my best calculations).

I think one of the reasons I have a soft spot for Rubik (which was a TERRIBLE cartoon let's face it) was because of the positive Latino characters. I love/hated cartoons like The Hulk that took place in New Mexico and had Latin-accented characters but they were all drawn as white guys in cowboy hats :/

TV GUIDE STRATEGY MEETING EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT!!! I was an only child, but this was a standing obligation well in to my high school years :)

Pole Position and Kidd Video are coming... they didn't hit the airwaves till later in the 80's! I can only post so much content at once ;)

Oh and D&D Cartoon... One of my Top Five 80's Cartoons of ALL TIME!

Yeah, when I meet up with fellows who think they know their stuff about 80's 'toons, I usually break out GR to test them. It's obscure in the US - did better in Germany. I used to run the main fan site for it. The good news is that GR makes out good with fanfic. We're in the top 100 over on fanfiction.net's cartoon section. Most of it is high-end, too.
