Is there anything more validating than bonding with a friend over something obscure Some of the best friendships began with phrases like You watch that or You do that, too Half the reason you love your favorite cousin or sibling so much is that grandma threw the same slipper at both of you or you remember that time you both snuck into the baptism pool after Week of Prayer or you both know that same Sisqo track by heart, because Dru Hill was the illest and Unleash the Dragon was so much more than the Thong Song. These are the things that make them your friends. They get you. Pepper Ann was known to most, and chances are you were saturated with Pokemon whether you liked it or not. Even your not so nerdy friends watched Tiny Toons or Tailspin, it just came with the territory of being a socially aware 5th grader. But what about those lesser known cartoons Thats where the real bonding comes in. If your mom came to wake you up for school only to find you already in front of the TV at 6am, this is for you. If you were yelled at for neglecting nutrition and homework between the hours of 3 5, this is for you. If you unrolled tin foil to attach to your antennae on a Sunday morning, this is a dedication. Come bond with me on this journey. Macron 1 1. 98. 1AKA Not Voltron. Actually older than Voltron, Macron 1 was one of the earlier mech warrior animes to gain traction in the US. The US version of the show was highly edited from the original Japanese one to have a rather generic, easy to understand premise a band of heroes were fighting an evil organization. But that didnt matter because the visuals were stunning and we were just kids. Game of Thrones season 7 episodes will be limited to seven. Winter isnt the only thing that makes time shorter.

The Cameo trope as used in popular culture. A brief appearance by a wellknown star or other famous person in a role that would otherwise be an extra or walk. Go Bots 1. 98. 4AKA Not Transformers. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WASNT TRANSFORMERS. I was a child, how could I be expected to discern the two Just listen to the shows description A race of intelligent robots is hiding on Earth, disguising themselves as ordinary cars and motorcycles. Knowing next to nothing about the series or what to expect, heres what I like. While it was great they went back to some old. There are two factions the good Go Bots and the evil Renegades. Each episode features new attempts by the Renegades to seize power from the Go Bots. TV. There are bigger differences between Mc. Donalds and Burger Kings French fries than the premises of Go Bots and Transformers. Its all the better I thought they were one and the same now I tell myself Go Bots are the movies by Michael Bay. The Snorks 1. 98. AKA Not Smurfs. The longest running show on this list, Snorks had only marginal success by being so overshadowed by the Smurfs. While the show seems rather shallow on the surface smurfs that live underwater the premise was actually rather complicated In 1. After reaching the surface, the rescued captain shared his story of Snorks with a disbelieving world, while underneath the waves an excited Snork by the name of Uncle Galeo was spreading the word about the surface dwellers. Cut to modern day, where the Snorks have evolved much like humans, living in similar houses and eating similar foods. TV. Snorks rode out in the shadows of television cartoons for 5 long years. Heathcliff 1. 98. AKA Not Garfield. A clever street cat that loved getting into fights, Heathcliff would do anything for two things food, and to impress the love of his life, Sonja. Heathcliff was to Garfield what the Snorks were to the Smurfs simply too similar to coexist equally, one would have to fall back. That didnt stop Heathcliff from being a fun show though, with one of the catchiest theme songs youd ever hear. Adventures of the Little Koala 1. Capture.JPG' alt='Merlin Episode Recaps Season 4' title='Merlin Episode Recaps Season 4' />AKA All of the Feels Part 1 of 2Adventures of Little Koala is a Japanese anime that was dubbed in several different languages and aired across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Watch Chef Online IMDB there. The show takes place in a zoo in Australia and follows Roobear, Laura, and all their friends and they learn to play new games and enjoy their utopian village. Few shows cultivated a sense of adventure and the happiness of being a kid like Adventures of Little Koala. This just took me back to another place, yall. The World of David the Gnome 1. AKA All of the Feels Part 2 of 2The World of David the Gnome is a Spanish cartoon that originated in 1. US in 1. 98. 7. The show inspired adventure and a sense of wonder as David revealed a hidden world of tiny gnomes that spoke with birds, rode on foxes, and feared trolls. I remember watching this show with my brother on weekends at our Dads house, and the memory is about to leave tears on my keyboard. Denver, the Last Dinosaur 1. AKA Not The Land Before Time. What kid wouldnt want an awesome dinosaur Denver, the Last Dinosaur capitalized on the dinosaur craze propelled by The Land Before Time, and introduced a loveable character who made friends with a group of young California teens. When Denver hatched, he just happened to speak English, love skateboarding, and enjoys jamming out on an ax. Widget the World Watcher 1. AKA Mr. Bogus Meets Captain Planet. Widget was a shape shifting alien that came from another planet to protect ours. Also created by Peter Keefe, Widget was like a purple Mr. Bogus who fought against environmental degradation instead of stealing your ice cream. The show ran for 2 seasons, undoubtedly kept on air due to support from the National Education Association and contentious adults everywhere due to its positive themes for children. This is the show your parents would turn on when your parents walked in the room. Bucky OHare and the Toad Wars 1. AKA Darkwing Duck in Space. Captain Bucky OHare was from another dimension where each planet was home to a different species of anthropomorphic animals. The planet Aldebaren had Cats, Rigel 5 had Koalas, Betelgeusia had Berserker Baboons, and someone was high on meth when they thought of all this. The bad guys were the Toads who took over the Rabbit planet of Warren, causing Bucky to lead a group of space rebels in their crusade to take back their home. Somehow, someway, Captain Bucky OHare was actually pretty awesome it was essentially Biker Mice from Mars before that show even existed. The comic had a cult following and the toy line was pretty successful, making this one of the most popular cartoons that just never caught traction. Its the Tech N9ne of 9. The intro is downright amazing too, down to the catchphrase Lets croak some toad. James Bond, Jr. The show was created in 1. License to Kill 1. Goldeneye 1. 99. And it was all done in style, while he rescues a girl Ah yes, early 9. Mr. Bogus 1. 99. AKA Bald Treasure Troll Steals Your Food. Made by Voltron creator Peter Keefe, Mr. Bogus is a yellow gremlin from another dimension. He lives in your house, can walk through mirrors, and his confusion with our world causes him to get into all sorts of trouble. Bogus had the makings of a horror movie and I feel we should have all been terrified. King Arthur and the Knights of Justice 1. AKA The Green Bay Packers Meet Chivalry. Picture this The Pack are down 6, but Aaron Rodgers runs it in for a touchdown. After the discount double check, he and the team fall through a portal set by Merlin, and they become the Knights of the Roundtable. Thats basically the premise behind the most amazing obscure cartoon of the previous century. It lasted 2 seasons someone mustve believed in its awesomeness and after years of waiting, both seasons are now available on DVD, Netflix, and You. Tube. Conan the Adventurer 1. AKA Not He Man. A fairly straightforward cartoon, Conan sets out on adventures to rescue his family that had been turned to stone. He had a phoenix, Needle, as a sidekick, and a faithful steed named Thunder. The show was better than you mightve expected, being surprisingly and consistently entertaining. Instead of the rough brutish Conan, the animated character had a sense of morality and honor. Conan the Adventurer had no business being as good as it was. Mighty Max 1. 99. AKA George R. Martin for Kids.
