Brak of Brakkonia doesn't remember Small Wonder. I don't know what's wrong with her either...

I had a thing for Vicky the Robot. Maybe it was cuz she did everything that you told her too. Maybe it was because she had that deep voice. She was the dumpy one with the bowl haircut that always hung out with the lil girl in the red maid's outfit right?? :confused:

[QUOTE=big S]so far i remember all of these, and i hated the noozles so much. david the gnome i watched because there wasn't anything else on. i remember this disney show called 'under the umbrella tree' with an iguana, bluebird, and some woodland creature who lived in a tree. and no one remembers count duckula either. i was obsessed with that show as a kid.[/QUOTE]

Under the Umbrella Tree! The best thing to come out of Canada! It was Jacob the Blue Jay, Gloria the Gopher, and Izzy the Iguana, and Holly the Human. Great show.

Two posts in a row. Such a hog!

Ok here is a kind off recent one (five-six years) MTV used to do a lot of animated shows that lasted for one season and then got canceled. I guess they were trying to make up for the loss of Beavis and Butthead. So does anyone remember Spy Groove and/or Downtown?
I thought they were both pretty good. Spy Groove was doomed from the start but man I loved in a kind off "I'm the only one that gets this" way. They had a great line. "Total Johnny Quest!" Awesome. So does anyone remember? I think that in total they must have had like 11 episodes

Haha...no. Gaea is the Greek goddess of the Earth. I'm a hippie/treehugger/environmentalist (take your pick). It is pronounced "Gaia" and some people spell it like that as well. Peace

Did anyone watch Wonderfalls before it was cancelled? Even if you didn't, u should all go pick up the DVD. Its friggin hilarious and somebody actuallly put some thought into its creation. So, naturally Fox had to nip that in the bud. Anyway, just thought id share that.

Teddy Ruxpin was the bear that had the story time tapes you pop into his back and he told them to you with expressions and crap and it was creepy, yet I wanted one and never got one. And he had that sidekick with the worm that told stories too I think.

Yeah, and there was an animated series, too. The only one I remember was with this prince that turned into some massive armored monster and it creeped me out as a kid.

MTV showed it before they went full "reality" TV. But the bastards only showed up to Ep12, they didn't show the finale. Took me 2 months to find the last episode on the net.

What made the whole deal worse was they advertised for the last episode, but they didn't show it. Fucking shiesty bastards.

I downloaded all the episodes and watched them all one weekend a year ago. I liked it. I don't think it would've last more than one more season, story-wise, but there's worse on tv now.

It could have. Scudworth could have made a deal with the Secret Government Employees after containing them and preserving his clones for another year before they were to be used for whatever experiment it was they were made for. Writers have pulled stranger shit out of their asses to make more shows (I always thought the Maggie shot Burns premise to be fairly outrageous for some reason, /shrug).

Burt was a childhood hero! You know, they've started re-running Trapdoor. Probably as some sort of grab for the 'ironic' student demographic.

To whoever mentioned Wonderfalls, you're absolutely right. It was a great, well-written show that showed a lot of thought and originality. Should never have been shitcanned, especially after only airing [I]four[/I] episodes. That's just sheer idiocy.

the first one was the series with Wendy an Marvin and the stupid scooby doo rip off crime dog

also, i wish they'd put Groovy Ghoulies back on the air
or at least the Super Harlem Globetrotters
