Weekday Cartoon Compilation with commercials and bumpers | 1985

[@mrrandom55951]

no one not a kid in that time will understand how magical it was. We were FREE. Watch cartoons till noon then you were outside all day till dark doing who knows what.

[@johnneails9747]

Agreed 100%…just keep viewing channels like this and/ or get these animated series on physical media and you’ll always be in that FREE mindset.

Yes, I did homework afterward, then did my household chores and went outside.😊

Hundred percent. The eighties were golden

Nostalgia

[@BeingKyleBusch18]

Generation x, latch key kid here. Born 1973, 51 year old. In 2024. Yes, I came home from school and watched these cartoons, commercials, and played with some of these toys. Then, I played video games, went out to play sports with friends, and got into all kinds of mischief. I wouldn't trade places with this Generation's kids if I could.

[@zshakur]

Growing up in the 80's was just the SHIT wasn't it?! No better time to be a kid! We got to see the world change around us as we grew up.

[@danielrathbun8380]

For people my age, this is gold. Much appreciated.

[@samuraikyokkan]

for your kids too. the crap theyre exposed to today is half not appropriate

[@greenclos]

Ah man! I just teleported back to 1985. These shows meant the world to me.

J'ai 51 ans et je regarde encore ça merci beaucoup pour le partage

[@tyson1fan487]

Just hearing He-man intro brings a smile to my face 😀 That was my absolute favorite until GI Joe started talking over!! Cartoons and toys!! Playing while watching the Cartoons and seeing commercials for the newest toys!! I was stuck indoors most of my childhood due to my handicap but considering it wasn't bad because we had the best TV Cartoons movies toy's video games and everything in between. Music came in as I got older but again the greatest music from the greatest decade. I still watch the He-man Christmas special every year!!

[@Slaytanica666]

I’m an 81 baby, born in the Summer…I would have been 4 here…but I REMEMBER VIVIDLY these cartoons and the episodes ALL THESE YEARS LATER! With GI Joe, Transformers, and Thundercats. It helps that they all got releases early in the 2000s with DVDs…and channels like The Hub kept them on the roster…also through the 90s I picked up all the old tapes when they went on sale for really cheap so I would watch them sometimes on the weekend in High School if Imdidnt have something to do…it was a nice little keeping up with my childhood back when nostalgia wasn’t cool like today.

[@seibervideo]

I lived in LA area in early 1985 and would watch Robotech and Voltron after school on KCOP. Cool to see a recording from that station.

[@sgzartan]

Voltron was on KTTV 11. KCOP had Heathcliff, He-Man, She-Ra, Transformers, GI Joe and Robotech.

[@Mr.DereckPhillips]

​@@sgzartan: KCOP also played Inspector Gadget.....I lived in Bakersfield, CA back in the day, and we used to get most of the LA channels on cable.....God Bless cartoons 80s style!!!!

[@em23]

Me too. I would get home in time to see robotech. By then I knew it was 3 separate shows by going to little tokyo and seeing all the macross models and toys.

[@wfyfwfyf]

[@djdekone9259]

This is awesome, brought me back too a 10y/o kid watching tv 📺 while doing my homework 😮 📝

[@TheShad0wW3av3r]

I don't know what was the bigger 'blast from the past'. All the cartoons I fell in love with as a kid? The cartoon-themed commercial break/return notices? Or all the nostalgic commercials themselves?! Speaking of the commercials...... looking back at them now, I can't believe some of the products being passed off as 'toys'! Baby dolls for prepubescent little girls to get a taste of the 'single mom' dream life. And don't get me started on that 'Get In Shape, Girl' one, either! 🤔🤣

[@briancossey4773]

Toooooo COOL! Here it is a Saturday morning in 2024; I'm 54 years old, but when this came out I was 15 years old. I use to sprint home from school and NEVER missed a single episode of Robotech. EVER! At that time, I was growing up in Lake Isabella CA, and KECI was one of the stations we could get. With all of the commercials, this really takes me back! Gotta give them credit; whoever stored/restored these clips did an incredible job! The clarity of the picture is NICE!!!!

[@Clarisonic2]

Yes! We all had to rush home to watch cartoons before our parents go home and sent us out to play

[@ilkvomit88]

The Golden Lagoon is a great episode of Transformers. Best part that always cracks me up is Starscream holding his nose when he jumps into the gold

[@jerellewynn2855]

The early and mid 80 's were a great time to be a kid. Especially in 1985 l was 12 and first started watching robotech while l was in middle school. Robotech had a nastalgiaic and somewhat of a reassaiance about. I go to middle school and it was always in my head. The music characters just had feeling about it. The childhood memories and love for this show will always be there. Life was simple and peaceful back then compared to today's world. There will never ever be a great decade like the eighties. Thanks for posting and reliving and seeing my childhood from robotech to he man, transformers, gi joe and Voltron.

[@earlsugars699]

We’re the same age and Totally agree with everything you said.. not a care in the world. Except go to school, hang with friends, and watch the best decade of cartoons EVER!!!

[@bostonnbunn]

The best thing to watch besides He man was T.M.N.T. We'd watch it in after-school care after a feed of sandwiches and juice....Best school memories 😂

[@aaronmoore6275]

Born in 80, so I missed some of this stuff, but caught up pretty quick. What up, grayheads!

[@jonathanwhite1265]

Thank you so much. This year was a stack year for action animation. The Turtles thrived after this window of time. 1983-1987 was the murderer's row of action cartoons.

[@wizbears]

I would go to a friend's house at 6:30 in the morning. We would watch Robotech and G.I. Joe before school.

[@BoosterGold52]

I'll never forget running home from school to catch Speed Racer in the afternoon and then one day there was no Speed Racer and they has something called Robotech instead. I was so mad but there was nothing else on so I watched it... and of course I fell in love.

[@samkelly5084]

Oh yeah 85 !

[@hrafnafolk]

That was a good year... !

[@zshakur]

I used to race home from school to try and catch Robotech! It always came on so damn early sometimes I'd miss it! Later on they had Robotech marathons on some random Saturday where they'd show all three "seasons" back to back! What a GREAT time to be a kid!!!

[@Tgr2k1]

Thank you for posting this. A lot of childhood memories were unlocked watching this.

[@sean1728]

What a great time to be a kid this was! 🙂

[@djgizmoe]

Yeah, I was 13 in the O.C. in '85, and there's a very good chance I watched this live. Being bullied at school (actually one of the most stressful years of my life) and cartoons (especially Robotech) were a welcome distraction. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@synergy162]

Dude. I was eight years old in ‘85. This was my after school jam. Plus Inspector Gadget. Keep the good stuff coming, man!

[@SummerlinRealtor]

So minus the Robotech end credits from today this was cool to see. I grew up in LA during this time and this is great to see from KCOP! The best time of my life was in 85/86….growing up with this and in LA at that time was amazing. Thanks again!

[@ThisIsInfamousJBlack]

Our childhood is in good hands thanks to you!

[@jaimemonte6298]

Use to live in the LA area in my childhood years 1980s and use to just come back from school just to sit back and watch the He-man cartoons and was a happy day for me 😊. Then i would ask my mom to take me to the Toys R us to buy the toy figures, best memories until the day...

[@travisfletcher900]

Thanks for sharing these. Great memories! If we had the tv antenna just right, we could pick up Philadelphia channel 17 and I could watch these shows after school every day. 40 years ago, and I still remembered most of the commercial jingles. Lol.

[@aestroai8012]

Nice! 2:01:00 You snuck an episode of Go Lion in! It's cool seeing Voltron in it's original form! It's a bit darker, and more compelling than what we got.

[@MoneMedia]

Yes I love it

[@theesweetscience2084]

​@MoneMedia man you have the motherload of the best Saturday morning cartoon blocks exactly as they airred! Plus the other shows/episodes that you place into the mix. Are these your own recordings of time blocks from the eras, or is it footage you've found over time and spliced together? I only ask because the footage is so clean..seems you have done alot of work for us to be able to relive the best times of the world. And i thank you for this

[@MoneMedia]

@@theesweetscience2084 a combination of vhs transfers, internet, dvds. And thank u

[@bryanjones0185]

This is great. Only thing is the He-Man and She-Ra episodes are playing in British broadcast speed instead of American Broadcast speed. In the US, we wound up with the DVD sets where all the episodes are in PAL or British format 4% faster than they were when they were on TV in America (NTSC format) or on American VHS/Beta/Laserdisc back in the 80s. The original NTSC negatves were lost or discarded sometime in 2003 or 2004 when the Filmation Library of cartoons was sold by Halmark entertainment to Entertainment rights in the UK. A German Home Video/Media Company recently released the series on Blu Ray, but they fixed the playback speed issue on converted what they had to NTSC format before remastering the episodes for Blu Ray release. They also corrected the deleted scene issue from the very first episode. The only thing they forgot in this special collectors set is the Orko and Kowl Commercial Bumpers and the Pilot opening to the Diamond Ray episode. The Blu Ray set is region free, so it will play on any Blu Ray player. The bad news is that they only did a limited production run of the collectors set and it was discontinued last year. A few ebay delaers in Germany still have new copies left, but they run $500-$600 each not including shipping. I can't afford it now, but eventually I WILL HAVE THAT SET AT ANY COST. Then I'm getting rid of my DVD sets from 2005-2010.

The heavy narrator, the wooden singing, and the actual kick ass soundtrack! It's not as great as the original but it's the best of the anime adaptations to hit the states back then.
