Chip n Dale

Another cartoon with an infectious theme song is Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. On a weird side note, I remember an advertisement on the radio that chip n dales was coming to town, and I kept telling my mom that I wanted to go, now I know why she kept laughing at me!

Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers was an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and created by Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove. It featured the classic Disney chipmunk characters Chip ‘n Dale, with three new friends, as detectives.

Blossom

WHOA Blossom was such a good show to me when I was a kid. If I watched it now though I think I might throw up in my mouth a little.


There was a commercial that I seen recently that made me giggle, it had Joey Lawrence saying Whoa on it, only people in my generation would get that one!


When Blossom premiered on NBC January 3, 1991, Blossom was 13 years old, and was arguably the most mature member of her TV family. The series begins with Blossom’s mother having left the family to pursue her own life and career and the family trying to adjust. Blossom’s dad Nick (Ted Wass) is a divorced session musician who was frequently between gigs and tours. Her oldest brother Anthony (Michael Stoyanov) is just recovering from being an alcoholic and drug addict. Joey (Joey Lawrence), the other brother, is a fairly stereotypical “dumb jock,” known for his popular catch phrase “whoa” (drawn out in a falsetto). Blossom’s best friend Six LeMeure (Jenna von Oÿ) also plays a significant part in her life. A sweet girl, and an especially fast talker, Six was best known for her tendency to ramble at an almost incoherent pace, reminiscent of the “Micro Machines man” from the 1980s commercials. Blossom also frequently got advice from famous celebrities in fantasy scenes.

Duck Tales

Even just the thought of this T.V. show gets the themesong stuck in my head. The main characters of the series, who appear in almost every episode, are Scrooge McDuck and his grandnephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. Scrooge McDuck is a very serious businessman, often shown to be a tightwad, who managed to earn a fortune so vast that he became the richest duck in the world. He claims to have succeeded by being “smarter than the smarties, and tougher than the toughies”. Despite his harsh business ethics, Scrooge has shown that he is also a caring man to his family. Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Scrooge’s great-nephews, who are left in his care throughout the series. Although the boys are fairly hyperactive, they have also shown that they can be rather clever and intelligent.

She-ra

She-ra was an attempt to market to young girls, and it worked. I loved She-ra! She-Ra is the heroic female lead in a series of toys produced by Mattel called She-Ra: Princess of Power. She also appears in the tie-in cartoon of the same name, which was an attempt to make a version of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon series that would appeal to young girls in the same way that He-Man appealed to boys. She-Ra is also the sister of He-Man.

Not The Mama!

Dinosaurs follows the life of a family of Dinosaurs, living in a modern world. They have TV’s, fridges, etc. The only humans around are cavemen, who are viewed as pets and wild animals. The most catchy thing about the show was the baby though, he would hit the father dinosaur and say “Not the mama” I know around my household that phrase was used quite a bit!
