Possibly! I too love Northern Exposure, Jeopardy, and Gargoyles!
OMG! How funny! I was just going to say how just after college, I was a police dispatcher on midnight shift and I would come home and wind down while watching Sailor Moon and Gargoyles every morning!
Love Megatron’s ringtone. ‘Just a twist’ Why is it that evil meglomaniacs are portrayed so anal? I guess that’s why they never win. Everything’s got to be PERFECT!!
I know the first season is out on DVD - I own it. I may have to watch some soon. It has been so long I don’t remember who my favorite was.
As for the TNG cast - yes I think most of them where 
And looking at IMDB - it wasn’t just TNG - Kate Mulgrew was in a few.
Are Japanese cartoons/anime easy to come by?
Some fun old ones are Dr. Slump (I think this is my all time favourite cartoon), Urusei Yatsura, and Ranma 1/2. And if you’re a cat owner, What’s Michael? is pretty hilarious too.
And of course, Dragonball, though I think I stopped watching after Z.
As for American ones, most of the cool ones are mentioned already, but:-
When I was young, I have to admit to watching something called “Captain Planet”. At the end of each episode, they have a PSA-esque clip where they’d teach you something about being environmentally conscious. 
I still have that theme song in my head. Captain Planet…he’s a hero! Gonna take pollution down to zero!
Ahem.
I still remember reluctantly going with a friend to see Tranformers the Movie, and watching that awful American animation during the opening scenes on Cybertron and thinking, “This is going to be be sooo painful…” It looked terrible, I even openly laughed when one of the transformers walked off screen to change and then reappeared on screen in car form. I shook my head in disgust, a motion picture is where you are supposed to ‘pull out all of the stops’ not take a cheap budget cutting maneuver like that…
But when Unicron appeared on screen and did that slow beauty pass in front of the camera and that menacing music started pounding my hopes rose. And then when the bugger went into Galactus mode and started munching down on the planet like Rosie O Donnell on a tub of dryers ice cream. I practically giggled with glee. The Japanese animation rocked!
I knew things were going to get down and dirty when my friend went into hysterics after Megatron busted a cap into one of the series regulars, my friend just kept muttering, 'oh my god, oh my god…" And then after Optimus died he started fidgeting. He had just calmed down (I am chuckling as I write this) when Unicron inhaled Spike and Bumblebee like a line of Coke. His jaw dropped, “They can’t kill Bumblebee and Spike…” The poor guy… he had to wait another hour before he found out they weren’t dead .
The movie was brutal to him but paid off big-time by the end, about a quarter of the audience had gotten up and walked out by the time the autobots evacuated their base. I guess it was just too much for the kids to take. I was a complete transformers noob at this point so I had no idea what a culling of the herd this was for the fans of the show.
Of course after the movie was over we ran straight for Lionel Playworld and bought some souvenirs, it had worked! He loved the new characters. I was just happy to have finally seen Anime on a full sized movie screen. I was used to watching third generation pirated VHS tapes on my TV, this was an absolute joy.
It became our Rocky Horror Picture Show when it hit the 99 cent theaters, we had lines we even shouted at the screen. No one ever complained and in fact most laughed with us. Our favorite line was when the Junkions were showing the video clips to the autobots and the Japanese female singer appears, we would shout ‘Minmay!’ (we were Macross fans) Very few ever got the joke however…
But we were Geeks, what do you expect?
Point Break and Outland frakking rule, and don’t every let anyone tell you otherwise.
If you want to feel guilty about liking a questionable movie, Dream a Little Dream is far more appropriate.
Hey! My former 14 yr old self resents that! She LOVED Dream a Little Dream. I even got grounded for going to see it a second time the next day without asking my mom :rolleyes:
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with it. Or, I guess, technically, maybe I think there is, if I’m classifying it as a guilty pleasure. Very watchable flick, though.
I concur, Phineas & Ferb is probably the best kids’ cartoon out rightnow. It’s clever, well animated and is a refreshing change from some of the more “smart-@ss” shows out there.
I don’t know if anyone has posted this, but, when Dirk Diggler decides to cut an album in “Boogie Nights”, the song he records is “The Touch”.
