…Snorks! I loved this cartoon, how many people actually remember it? The Snorks were a race of small, colorful, fictional beings that live in the underwater world of Snorkland.

The Muppet Show! The show stars Kermit the Frog, also one of the main Muppet characters of Sesame Street. Whereas Kermit was a happy, perky and somewhat avuncular character on Sesame Street, here he is trying to keep control of the varied, outrageous, kinetic Muppet characters (and his temper), as well as keep the human guest stars happy and secure. I own this, and every retro fan should as well!

…. Without some Transformers! Launched in 1984, the Transformers toyline was promoted through both a comic book by Marvel Comics and an animated series produced by Sunbow Productions. Although the comic outlived the animated series by a number of years, it was the animated series that truly captured the hearts and minds of children worldwide more so than any other piece of Transformers media from its twenty year history.

It has been criticized numerous times by religious organizations for its diabolic undertones and was dubbed a “mass murder simulator.”
