Though I don't watch much animation anymore I was impressed with the animated "Transformers" at the Cartoon Network's main website: http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/tra...ersa/index.html |

I would say no IF I didn't like it when it was older. The new CN is total crap. |

Have you ever watched any of the older Hanna Barbera cartoons from the 1960's, like Space Ghost(1966), The Herculoids(1967), Galaxy Trio(1967), Jonny Quest(1964), Frankenstein Jr(1966), or Birdman(1967)?

I have found a few shows on CN to be interesting - I enjoy checking out adult swim now and then but don't tune in regularly. I still find myself longing to watch the cartoons of the 80's that were big...Transformers, Thundercats, He-Man. There was also a show featuring giant monsters called Inhumanoids...I had some of the toys. |

I've found a large majority of Cartoon Networks shows to be rubbish....bar some of the things on the Adult Swim block I like Aqua Teen, Birdman, Robot Chicken and Sealab and Space Ghost and Brak have their moments but I've never liked Squidbillies and The Venture Bros. so even Adult Swim is abit of a mixed bag....Though I think cartoons from the early 90's when I was young were far better then ones you get these days. |

Slain, have you seen any episodes from the 1967 "Spiderman" series? If so what did you think of them?

I haven't seen any....though I can't think of any time the 60's Spiderman cartoon aired in Australia in my life time....I did watch the early to mid 90's Spiderman series religiously when I was young....but no I haven't gotten to see it |

Galaxy Trio(1967)- "Titan The Titanium Man": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nJnkJimhm0 Watching these three in action, I've reached the conclusion if a live action movie was ever made of this series Jessica Biel would be perfect as "Gravity Girl".

That brings me back to a time before I was born. As for Jessica Biel....if that were to happen I hope it goes better then then the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake....though that's probably more due to a lousy script and bad wardrobe department....really didn't sell the point that it was supposed to be in the 70's |

Space Ghost(1966)- "The Robot Master": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNmKA6EGSXI The voice dub of "Metallis", in this episode, sounds like Ted Cassidy. ;) |

I watch it off and on. Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Venture Bros and Harvey Birdman have been longtime favorites of mine. The occasional episode of Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends catches my attention, but I far more wish I could have Boomerang like the rest of you. I'd love for a network to broadcast Justice League AND Superfriends which Boomerang does both. Other than the oddities of Adult Swim, I don't watch too much CN. I've also been craving some Thundercats, Johnny Quest, He-man, Thundar and Voltron recently for no reason. Just want some old classic animation. |
