Garfield & Friends!
Here’s a random episode of Garfield & Friends, and a survey to go with it!
I’d say that Garfield & Friends just narrowly beats out The Real Ghostbusters as far as shows that I most closely associate with Saturday mornings.
So, tonight’s survey:
What was the one Saturday morning show that you just HAD to see, every weekend?
Tell everyone, in the comments!
Swamp Thing & Toxic Crusaders!
It’s Friday, so I’ll give ya a double, tonight.
Here’s the first episode of the Swamp Thing cartoon, from 1991. (Which corresponded with Kenner’s amazing toy line!)
…and here’s the first episode of Toxic Crusaders, from 1990. (Another series made to sell an amazing toy line!)
Enjoy!
Tonight’s survey:
Name a toy line, video game, movie or live action TV show that totally SHOULD’VE inspired its own cartoon series, but didn’t.
If you can’t think of one, just have fun watching these old creepy cartoons. Happy Friday!
Bride of Boogedy!
We’re halfway to Halloween, my friends.
Actually, since many of us begin celebrating in late August, it’s more like we’re three-fourths of the way to Halloween. Granted, that’s not as catchy.
Here’s something appropriate for the occasion:
Bride of Boogedy was the unlikely sequel to another spooky TV movie, Mr. Boogedy. It premiered back in ‘87 as part of ABC’s The Disney Sunday Movie.
(It wasn’t originally run as a Halloween special, but since it premiered in April of that year, maybe they meant it as a halfway to Halloween special? Everything connects!)
Tonight’s survey:
…isn’t necessarily about Halloween.
Name your all-time favorite made-for-TV movie. If it isn’t super famous, describe it, too!
Phantom of the Mall!
In honor of my latest Video Store Adventure, I checked to see if any of the old movies I picked up had found a second home on YouTube.
One did! Here’s Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge, from 1989:
I’ll borrow the plot summary from the mystery uploader, who himself borrowed it from Wikipedia:
Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge is a 1989 horror film about a young man who apparently dies in a suspicious house fire after saving his girlfriend, Melody.
A year later, at the new mall built over the site of the burned-out house, thefts and murders begin to occur as a mysterious figure secretly prowls around the shopping center and takes a keen interest in watching over and protecting Melody.
Sounds okay, yes? Enjoy.
Tonight’s survey:
Share a random memory about something that took place in a shopping mall.
God knows where this survey will lead us. Keep it clean!
Spill it, in the comments.
