No I do not know that FB, but I do know what you mean about songs sticking in your head. Had that happen this morning.

It was a show about a group of kids who encouraged people to save the planet. Think it was back in the early nineties here is more information of what came from the show. Oh and here is the wikipedia on it

I think alot of those shows were after my time...man, I am old...but I think maybe they remade silverhawks, bc there is a cartoon that comes on in the am by that name. My kids watch it. And the ship they fly in is called "The Condor"...Condor

I remember Captain Planet but I never watched it (couldn't stand it though). I did watch Galaxy Rangers though. It wasn't bad (for being a faux Japanese cartoon). Silverhawks or Bravestarr I have heard of but have never seen. I used to watch The Mighty Hercules though. God, I hated that satyr! "Hey Herc! Hey Herc!" Grrrr... I used to pretend to be the villain, The Mask, by cupping my hands over my mouth and talking through them. Later, that would be the way I would pretend to be a Stormtrooper in my Star Wars RPG games. *grin* Here's one from my childhood. Does anyone remember... Fables of the Green Forest? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fables_of_the_Green_Forest

Fables of the Green Forest I used to watch this right before Dr. Who and I think Barbapapa. As for Hercules...Newton was the centaur that was always going "Hey Herc!". My favorites were the Toots the satyr...he couldn't speak so he used his pan pipes to communicate, getting extremely frustrated when he couldn't be understood, and then there was Dido Daedalus' cat...reminded me a bit of Gargamel and Azreal from the Smurfs. Then there was always the cheesy monster sounds and Daedalus' exclamation: "Shades of Scorpius!!"

You're right. I got Newton the centaur mixed up with the satyr. To think I studied the Classics in university. My Ancient Greek Mythology Professor (Professor Hegel) would hang his head in shame. *grin* I used to have to fight from falling asleep in his lectures because his voice was so mono-toned. Smile I remember Barbapapa as well. maybe these shows are an Ontario thing. Wink

The green forest, the green forest the stories you've read about all come to life yes the stories you've read about all come to life in the green forest... ARGH!!! I cannot believe that was in my head! Oh, the agony!!!!!! I used to LOVE Barbapapa! Especially the eps after they had kids and there were a whole bunch of them walking around. Now, as long as no one starts talking about Polkaroo, I think there's a tiny chance that whatever shred of sanity I still have left will return...

Here's a cartoon that I loved as a kid... Rikki-Tikki-Tavi: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=0qhBxv7r5gg http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=d3sanpjm6cI http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=NKni2--mYkI This is the first time watching it since I was a kid. The cartoon is based on a story by Rudyard Kipling. Animation by Chuck Jones and narrated by Orson Wells. Top notch stuff all around. Wink

re:Fables of the Green Forest. My good friend in Hokkaido, Japan used to watch this cartoon as a kid as well. Course to her it was known as Yama Nezumi Rokkii Chakku (lit., "Rocky Chuck, the Mountain Rat"). That''s not too surprising since the show was created there. Here I thought that BOTP was my first introduction to anime and it was FOTGF many years earlier. Wink

I also remember Riki Tiki Tavi and Captain Planet, though both are vague memories... Tone, I'm not sure if most of these were here in the US, 'cuz I haven't heard of them either.

The Green Forest and Barbapapa were Canadian, I think. Polkaroo definitely was.

I also remember Riki Tiki Tavi and Captain Planet along with Siverhawks... Watched all three of them, especially at my cousins house, there was at least 8 kids younger then me. Some of the others ring no bells, though I went to the movies this weekend and saw an ad for a new movie coming this summer.... Speed Racer.... I'll be there to see it, will be nice to get something good while waiting for next year.
