The title kind of describes it all perfectly. If you read part one (why wouldn’t you have?), You’ll know that I bloody love cartoons. They were the friends that an only child could rely on. These days they’re like the children I never had.
I actually do have children, but I like cartoons.
DuckTales

Ducktales beat off (Hur Hur) Rescue Rangers and Talespin for a spot here. If you didn’t have a TV in your youth, it revolves around billionaire Scrooge McDuck and his 3 nephews having wacky adventures. You just know they were proper spoilt. Bet they had the best of all the bread.

Danger Mouse

He’s James Bond, but he’s a mouse. That’s about it actually. Although I do enjoy that lots of it was set on white backgrounds to cut costs. I still want to know about the eye patch though. When I was younger I knew a lad that had a decent size (about 2 feet) plush Dangermouse. It stank of piss. I’m convinced he tried to fuck it.

The Raggy Dolls

I think a lot of us felt empathetic towards at least one of the Raggy Dolls. Maybe you were a tubby lad and felt a bit like Sad Sack? Maybe you had a stutter like Hi-Fi? Or maybe you were even French like Claude.
Maybe you even had blonde hair, a pink dress and expected to be called Princess. Not that that was me. Obviously. Honest.

Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors

I’m biased here as it was a great show, with equally great intro and outro. I couldn’t make my mind up which was better, so the link contains both. Fence sitter? Me? Damn right.
Ever seen how much the toy range from this costs? Feel free to check, and then buy them for me.

Godzilla

Remember when Godzilla wasn’t shit? What do you do with a few hundred feet tall Dino destruction unit? Give him a cute companion of course. Godzooky was apparently loosely based on Minilla (Son Of Godzilla) Every episode consisted of the annoying kids finding a problem, Godzooky being thick, then Godzilla turning up, looking bored as fuck and sorting out all the pithy human shenanigans in about 30 seconds.

The Family Ness

If you’re not British, I’m doubting you’ve caught this unusual take on the Loch Ness Monster. Imagine there was a family of them. The hint is in the title. Still though, great intro and outro. That scores points here.

The Mysterious Cities Of Gold

I remember thinking this was a cartoon for adults. Ha! I’d not even seen ‘Jungle Burger’ then. Don’t look that up kids. An on going storyline about a group of likeable kids on an adventure. Like Goonies. Only not at all. I’m practicing describing things like a politicim

Pole Position

I know I know…ANOTHER boy’s cartoon. Give me a break, I was a lad. If my mates had found me watching Jem, or something of the like, I’d have been made an example of on my Alan Bleasdale/Ken Loach type bleak 80’s council estate. You could get a kicking by just thinking about the colour pink.
Oh yeah, Pole Position had a good theme tune btw. I went off on a tangent again…

Dungeons And Dragons

Is there anyone from this time period that didn’t adore this? I’ve kinda cheated as there’s no real theme tune, BUT, as soon as the intro started, you knew you were in for a good time. This was only shit if you tried to play it in the playground, and a kid bigger than you wanted to be Hank The Archer. Before you know it, you’re relegated to being Eric The Cavalier.
Ha! Fuck him anyway. I stole all his novelty erasers and traded them with a fat girl for some Garbage Pail Kids stickers.

Tiny Toon Adventures

Possibly the most recent on this list. Looney Tunes is all but a thing of the past these days. In the 90s Tiny Toon Adventures managed to bring it more current and to a whole new audience. I still can’t help thinking that Buster Bunny is a knob head though.

The Raccoons

One of the all time greats. When a theme tune can stand on its own as Just a great song, it’s in its own class. Thus I give you ‘Run With Us’. Many a time I have danced drunk in the kitchen to this. Put it on now, I dare ya. Bet you can’t stop your foot tapping
