We lived in Quebec but somehow still got American channels (we must've had cable). I remember watching the Superstretch & Microwoman and thinking "damn, that's kinda racist". I think my understanding of what was considered racist and what wasn't at that age was heavily influenced by my hyper politcally correct family.http://dcinthe80s.tumblr.com/http://dcinthe80s.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-82141745199745060202013-09-12T02:46:08.275-03:002013-09-12T02:46:08.275-03:00I was in college by this point, but I tuned in to ...I was in college by this point, but I tuned in to watch Tarzan every Saturday.

Their versions of Mighty Mouse (not the best version, but decent) and H&J (snore...), Fat Albert, and Tarzan and the Super Seven, which was probably my favorite of this whole line-up. I don't think these Batman cartoons hold up as well as the 60s ones Filmation also did (chalk that up to the forced humor of green Bat-Mite and Robin's love for gross foods like peanut butter & anchovie pie), but the Tarzan ones are still pretty good, probably their best "action" show of the 80s until He-Man and She-Ra come along.Bill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18013121134005443309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-81807384092629695672013-09-11T13:24:12.894-03:002013-09-11T13:24:12.894-03:00Yeah, I saw Jason on You-Tube and stopped myself f...Yeah, I saw Jason on You-Tube and stopped myself from watching an episode all the way through to preserve the nostalgia.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-65286607860033938882013-09-11T12:43:23.406-03:002013-09-11T12:43:23.406-03:00I liked Jason of Star Command when I was young, I ...I liked Jason of Star Command when I was young, I caught it on netflix recently and it didn't hold.up as well as Land of the Lost. I always liked Fat Albert myself but I was an american kid growing up in a cruddy city just outside a major citty so I could relate.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-54168110484708361092013-09-11T12:26:10.891-03:002013-09-11T12:26:10.891-03:00Did a feature on Jason on my site:

I saw the New Mighty Mouse when TV Land had their "Super Retro Vision Saturday" block, and it didn't quite live up to my memories, but I'm holding hope that the "Great Space Chase" serial still would. It's too bad the Super 7 will end up lost to obscurity.ShadowWing Tronixhttp://bwmedia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
