“The dizzying photo of a red faced McCain has me a bit confused. Weren't "the plumbers" the people who broke into the DNC at Watergate? Was JOE one of them??????”
Honorable mentions...M.A.S.K., Care Bears, Danger Mouse, Roger Ramjet, Inspector Gadget, Mysterious Cities of Gold, Robotech, Snorks and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Johnny Worthington
We were just talking about Voltron at lunch yesterday. Who thinks the "car" Voltron was just as good as the "cat" one? My hypoth. is that there were just too many cars, and having 5 lions was just enough :) - Stu Andrews
@Faboo Why, that's truly outrageous!! - Brian Norwood
Also, let us never forget (even though it's so slow and hard to watch now) Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. - Stu Andrews
I didn't care for Voltron as it was too formulaic...Which is odd as I liked the A-Team and GI Joe...But the whole, we are gonna throw the kitchen sink at the monster in every episode, but oh no, that won't kill it (except for that one episode that had TWO monsters)...we always have to take out the sword last...Why couldn't they just take out the sword first and be done with it! - Alex Scoble CISSP
Stu, I had both Voltrons (*cough*... still do *cough*)... agree, Vehicle had too many 'parts'. - Johnny Worthington
I think a guy wrote this article because there's no rainbow brite, gem, etc. Not that I watch any those cartoons. Were the ninja turtles 80s or 90s? what about tinytoons? - Alan Le
I humbly submit this entire list must be recompiled in the light of the true #1, Battle of The Planets. Not Gatchaman, as it it contains all of those Japanese dramatic pauses and brooding most of us westerners just don't get. Battle of the Planets. 7 Zark 7, 1 Rover 1, and the awesome 80's cartoon voice of Casey Kasem. - Brian Norwood
Alan... Tiny Toons (and Anamanicas) were both 90s :) - Johnny Worthington
Brian: Ahhh, 7 Zark 7, there's just not enough of his wisdom in this world today :) - Stu Andrews
Nobody mentions Burt Raccoon? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... was it just a UK thing? Don't forget SuperTed, that taught children it was acceptable to name your friends after prominent physical handicaps ;) Oh and it's difficult to swim in coin pools, but possible. Thanks Scrooge McDuck - Cains
I still don't think Voltron should be number one. >:( - Mona N.
Stu, I was thinking the same thing about Astro-boy - Duncan Riley
"The ColecoVision is Coleco Industries' second generation home video game console and was released in August 1982. The ColecoVision offered arcade-quality graphics and gaming style, the ability to play Atari 2600 video games, and the means to expand the system's hardware. The ColecoVision was released with an initial catalog of 12 titles, with 10 additional titles on the way for 1982. Approximately 100 titles were released in the form of ROM cartridges between 1982 and 1984." - Steve Isaacs

A friend had this. We played track and field and tennis. The controller was weird. - Josh Haley
I never had Coleco as a kid, but a few years ago, had Coleco with the Atari 2600 adapter (http://www.geocities.com/djsla...), you could play both games on it, something you would never see (legally) in this day. - cmiper
resembles Intellivision with that remote control-looking controller. My uncle had one that he never let me, my siblings or my cousin touch. so tantalizing... - Kamilah Gill
"USB 3.0 will be backwards-compatible with USB 2.0 and that it'll provide transfer rates up to ten times more than USB 2.0's 480Mbps limit (that's 4.8Gbps)." - tech.newsjunk.com
"WHEN Charles Grimsdale, a British investor, started the Internet music venture OD2 in 1999, he had a hard time persuading large record companies to license their music. But when he approached the rock musician Peter Gabriel about putting his music catalog online, he got a very different response: Mr. Gabriel was not only willing, he also wanted to take a stake in the company." - Morgan

When I checked my "nearby" tweets in twinkle, my wife showed up... so I think if you have the location stuff turned on, then yeah... But as long as you're not tweeting with a twinkle other than your wife, then no problem! - James P.

I like the twinkle feature of nearby, I found some new folks by using it that I already knew. Bad if you are being stalked. - Alan Ashley
