Cartoon much?

The debate between Facebook and Myspace is ongoing. I have solved this problem by having an account on each but it sppears Facebook is taking me over rather rapidly. However, one special thing on myspace is Emeline's profile picture which is Whybird from Playdays. This inspired me greatly to go back and think of old programmes I used to watch. I love a bit of nostalgia I do, and being only 20 (almost) I haven't had the chance to have much of it.

Playdays was one of my favourites, whybird especially was amazing. Her partnership with Simon was incredibly and her voice was clearly like Heaven "Oh siimoonn!" I love how the only letter on her computer keyboard she would press was 'P' and she'd have to bend down to press it with her beak. Emeline has pointed out to me that whybird has possiby the longest neck for a bird and her wings start near her wouldbe waist...This picture also includes Poppy and Peggy Patch but it was ALL about whybird.
I don't remember a great deal about Carebears but I know I liked them enough to have the video's. Looking at the pictures of it on google it looks rather like it's a show for stoned hippies. Coloured bears floating on clouds n'all. Emeline says she is never going to talk to me again because I liked Carebears but screw that, they were obviously cool!

My Brother and I used to watch this together which is far more acceptable for me because he is the best part of 6 years older than me. The scary tower that Count Duckula lived in was all creepy and they'd play very apt organ music whenever it was on. I can't quite remember the theme tune but i'm adamant that is was something good.

Sooty and Sweep & Co were my favourite thing that wasn't cartoon. I had some of their videos and loved when they thought that they had a burglar but in actual fact it was sweep sleeping walking. They all had teeny tiny beds and they all wore pajamas with little sleeping hats with the bobbles on the ends. Sue was also great. "My name is SUE!" I can't remember who that little shit on the end is but I think his name was 'buster' or something but he was naughty and wasn't in it very much. Matthew looked after them very well then he got replaced by some arse.

One thing I love about The Jetsons is their doors, which weren't actually doors - rather tubes which you stand in and it transports you out of the building. So many cars flew around in the air it's a wonder there was never any crashes. Judy was my favourite obviously, wasn't she everyones? I wish I had a robot maid. Actually I just wish I had a maid. A robot would have been cool though.


Wacky Races was very cool because it didn't last mega long for you to get bored and fall asleep but it was a sufficient to keep you entertained for an acceptable amount of time. Penelope Pitstop was so suave, with a mirror that extended along with a LIPSTICK! She'd be putting on her make up whilst going along. Nothing beats that really.
