Phineas and Ferb is great. I love the songs and the platypus.

oh lord, yes I saw the premiere of the new Thundercats, and I was very disappointed. I haven't watched another one. The voices were all wrong. :( Thanks for mentioning it, though, it reminds me that I should have clarified: I have the Thundercats from the 80's on DVD. I think it's the complete set. I admit I think I've only watched the first season or two. I just enjoy having them because I really enjoyed them as a kid, and would love to share them with DS.

I've liked what I've seen of Phineas and Ferb, we don't get whatever station it's on here, though, so I've only seen it on trips to the US.

Ha!..I'm 40 and I have always loved toons..me and DH both..and let's get real most animation is not and was never made for children..they are a political, social and entertainment medium for adults..but some are made specifically for children ie..Peppa Pig, Dora etc..and others more subversive..

I don't think I will ever stop tbh..apparently my DCs friends think it's either normal because their parents do too (DD2) or think it's weird (DD1)..lol

Manga,Anime,Ren & Stimpy,Power Puff girls, 2 stupid Dogs, Sponge-bob,X- men, Batman, Hulk, Spiderman, Tom & Jerry, Dangermouse,Bat-fink, Dragon-ball Z,Thundercats..I like Phineas and Ferb too..lol....the list goes on..lovin the graphic novel inspired animation I've found on Netflix...

I got bored with Thundercats early in the second series when they introduced the new cats.

Boney I suspect that's what happened to me, as well, because my memories are all of the original group and not with all the new ones.

It's similar to the A-Team (so random, sorry)- I loved the first couple of seasons, and it's all I remember. I said to a friend how much I loved the A-Team when I was a child, and he said "oh yes but I never forgave them for season 4" yadda yadda evidently the entire plot changed and I literally had no idea what he meant.

Oh, and Transformers. I had an original Optimus Prime toy, I loved the first series and possibly more, but once there were dinobots and whatnot I started to lose interest. I still watched but my fond memories are of the original series.

I'm so sad. Grin

As you can see from my username, I am a HUGE fan of Adventure Time!!

Confession though, I watch all the crap on Disney, Good luck Charlie, Austin and Ally, Shake it up etc. I shall go hang my head in shame...

I'm 28 and Pokemon started on Sky when I was 14. I used to rush home to watch it as I was a loser and I still love it.

I'm expecting my first baby in September and have been looking at this and this . My DP just shakes his head. But he doesn't know that I want to be the very best, that no-one was before. You see, to catch them is my real quest ... etc!

I used to wander around the supermarket, absentmindedly humming the theme tune to Digemon. Blush

Now I'm more likely to break into a song from Shake ItBloodyUp.

I am 45, and I still love Scooby Doo, The Snorks, and quite a few others. Let him be with his harmless Pokemon happiness.
