How about the Saturday Morning Cartoons we grew up with, many were Science Fiction and Fantasy based… Did some of these cartoons stimulate our imaginations and turn us into the Geeks we are now???
Johnny Quest!!! The Herculoids, Sealab 2000, Fantastic Voyage, Star Trek the Animated Series. Space Ghost, The Arabian Knights, Dungeons and Dragons, Thundarr the Barbarian and so on…
Superfriends (Zan, Jayna, and Gleek > Wendy, Marvin, and Wonder Dog) and Spider Man and his Amazing Friends (loved Firestar) are two favorites.
Anyone remember Mighty Orbots? It gets special mention. Many college friends said, “Oh yeah…” when I mention it. Turns out it was anime.
Hulk and Back to future were also favorites. I vaguely remember Land of the Lost.
Loved Johnny Quest!!! Practical applications of technology, a multi-national cast, and Bandit the dog. The theme music is running through my head as I type! Johnny’s dad was awesome, and Race Bannon was the perfect bud to have in a fight.
I used to have this compilation CD, Saturday Morning Cartoons’ Greatest Hits… now it’s gone… sigh…
