Did you watch the Snorks cartoon as a kid?
 

It was like a bunch of underwater creatures, right? But now that I think about it those little characters looked like bongs...

What's wrong with you people?



:disgust

Let's take the Smurfs and throw them underwater. Those stupid 6 years olds won't know the difference and we've got another money monster on our hands. :winkwink:

I loved the frickin' Snorks.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. Yeah I used to watch the Snorks in Germany back in the 80's.

Anyone remember a tv show called Manamal? It was about a guy who could change into any animal he wanted. That and a show called Voyagers where a kid and some guy would travel through time using a pocket watch called an Omni.

Anymore obscure 80's pop culture shows?

How about the spin-off series from Buck Rogers that starred Hawk, the half man, half-hawk guy? I don't think it lasted more than two or three episodes. I can't even remember the name.

Speaking of terrible spinoffs, remember "Enos"? The deputy from the Dukes of Hazzard that moved to the city and drove a Chrysler with a huge blower scoop on the hood...classic TV.

Or how about Three's a Crowd... Jack Tripper moves out of the apartment and gets married to Vicky. Somehow they still managed to work the Ropers in there too. Or maybe it was Mr. Furley, I forget.

They should make a network that runs nothing but failed spinoffs every day. I would watch.

I always wanted a snorkjob...I bet one of those hot little snork sluts could snork a golf ball thru a garden hose...

Actually Google tells me there was no spin off of Buck Rogers, I was just thinking of the second season of Buck Rogers where they added the Hawk guy and changed the setting.

Jace and the Wheeled Warriors

It wasn't a bong, it was a Snorkle; A breathing apparatus, consisting of a long tube held in the mouth... see, big difference.
:winkwink:

Yeah I think I remember it -- very cool show. He could change into a hawk I think and a panther or something... I was really young but I remember the special effects seemed really cool!

Also there was a show w/ a guy that drove some kind of digital lamborghini and he had a sidekick called "cursor" that would draw him shit -- i loved that shit... I can't remember the name of the show now...

Yeah this is it... Cool shit!

AUTOMAN (1984)
GLEN A. LARSON (HURRAH FOR GLEN A. LARSON!)

WAHEY-EFFECTS STYLE kiddery with limp computer-operating cop Walter (DESI ARNEZ JNR) creating super electronic crimefighter bloke by a patchily-explained process, along with comedy sidekick "Cursor", who turns into a neon car, neon helicopter and neon tennis ball thing. Automan himself (CHUCK WAGNER!) was spangly leotearded but with normal head. Disappeared at night when people of the city turned on lights, electric toothbrushes etc., thereby draining his power (rather large drawback for a super-hero). Pretty much arse, really.

TV CREAM immortality rating-
..."AUTOCAR" WAS SLEEK GLOWING LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH WITH GULL-WING DOORS. IT TURNED AT 90 DEGREE ANGLES. (WHAT, LIKE IN TRON?)

Can I watch your lips when you say "long tube" ?

Today there was a girl sitting in the sidewalk on my way home -- she was sitting in the shade of a light pole... only the shadow wasn't very wide to shade her so I said to her, "you need a thicker pole" :winkwink:

Anyway that's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be rude :1orglaugh

Here's "Automan" -- this shit was the bomb back in 84!

we weren't allowed to watch the smurfs (but still did) but the Snorks were allowed so yes I watched them. Didn't like them as much as Shirt Tales though.
