    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    At least you guys had colour. The world I grew up in was all black, white and grey, and animals (who wore clothes and spoke) outnumbered humans 6:1. Betty Boop.

    Heh. Always had wondered where they had come up with the idea for power rangers.

    Ah, dinosaurs, that brings back memories. IIRC it disappeared when I was still pretty young, in fact I might have seen it mostly on video.

    Hush yo mouth. Power Rangers came from Japan originally, anyway. Kikaida was a whole different thing; see, he's secretly a robot who fights evil. And the rest of the time he looks mournfully into the distance and plays his red plastic guitar. Much more like Unforgiven in that way.

    If you're of a certain age, and you grew up in Hawaii, Kikaida was a big, big deal.

    Never saw Kikaida. Ultraman was our thing in the late 60s, early 70s. Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot was popular too, I guess, but not in central & eastern Pennsylvania. I have to say that Kikaida looks cheesy even for 60s TV, making Ultraman look like state-of-the-art SFX in comparison.

    I'm surprised with a thread about Dinosaurs, this has gone unmentioned for this long. This series also got remade in the early nineties.

    Oh dear... How did you end up becoming a sane person having to be put through that? No wonder Americans used to spend so much more time outdoors. To get away from the Demon Screen.

    Hehehe. I used to love watching Johnny Quest.

    Even though I'm from the 90's

    But this was my favorite show of them all. It blows to pieces even that robo-jap-man.

    Ah, the TV of youth. I remember this, barely.*

    And this, and this, and this. Not sure how many of them actually ended their run before I began watching.

    *Not that particular episode when it aired, since I wasn't, technically, alive.

    Probably one of the better shows of my childhood: animation, voice acting and writing were all great. And to think it was technically a kid's show.

    It's hard to find that combination of 3 things in cartoons these days.

    Kids cartoons? Are you people serious? When I was seven, I spend my saturday mornings reading Proust. By the time I was nine, I had moved on to more mature works, mainly Derrida and Foucault. And at age eleven I read Kant. In German. And blahblahboastblahetcetera

    Quite.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    While I was studying in Innsbruck, one of the courses I had was on Austria's role in Hollywood. The Fleischer brothers were important for such innovations as rotoscope animation.

    Betty Boop is actually a dog, although as she became more of a staring character instead of a subsidiary character her features became less pronounced. However, occasionally in some of the cartoons they would still show scenes with elongation of her ears and muzzle.

    For me it was this:
    Bike Mice from Mars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWS-OiHxKto
    Rurouni Kenshin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeT9T5qQyEs

    To think I had to be up and in front of the tv to watch these programs at 6 in the mourning. I'm quite pleased if I'm already in bed at that time these days.

    That's a fascinating bit o'info I never knew. Thanks.

    1) I learn something new here every day.
    2) No matter the topic, someone here has studied it detail.

    ^^Both true statements^^

    Her first appearance is in the animation: Dizzy Dishes. They have it on youtube if you want to look it up.


    Warning: some of the humor isn't exactly tasteful (for instance, they have a Jewish character ordering ham), and there's a brief shot where she flashes the crowd (not that you really see anything, but at the time tres risque).


    You'll notice that instead of earrings, she has long droopy ears, and her face resembles something like a Boston terrier.
