Has anyone seen the new Transformers and Turtles?
They don't seem to be as good as the originals. All they have left to redo is the Thundercats.
I admit i still watch cartoons despite my age.

Agreed.
Was running at the gym and the new series of Inspector Gadget aired on the tvs in the cardio room. So appalled. Sheesh. Kids these days - they'll watch anything!!!

did anyone ever catch that Voltron remake "Voltron 3D"
it was b.f. awful
i'm pretty sure TMNT has been an on-going franchise in the USA since the original, and to my knowledge there have been at least two Transformers remakes: Beast Wars and Armada.
i picked up the original Transformers season one DVD box set the other day, and i have to say they are still entertaining (although the plot holes are easier to spot) because they worried about story and character rather than just being a half-hour advertisement. it's also amazing how much more violent the originals were compared with the remakes.

Transformers were great and so is the cartoon - Voltron. But the best robotic cartoon for me - "are" those of Japan 'made', in the likes of Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos, Grandizer Z etc. Those were the days when I was really fascinated by the start of the computer-generated 'animes' - the originals as others would say, but there's this guy who insist that 'Astro Boy' was the very first Japanese anime that was ever shown on television ???

no, Astroboy was the first anime shown on television outside Japan (i.e. in the US). i think the franchise was bought by a US network after the original black and whites aired.

@gelfen - Right there again ! So, if Astroboy was the first 'anime' hit outside of Japan, then what cartoon anime made it big then in their place ?

Scooby Doo 'The Movie' was quite good too. But for me the Japanese Robotics Fanfare of the late 70's was still best to date when it comes to cartoon fascination - Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos, Grandizer Z . . .

Downloaded all the episodes of Transformers Generation 1 - they rock
. OK, they are made for kids, but with just a little tweaking they would be perfect for us pretending-to-be-grown-ups.
Downloaded Armada and that sucks badly. They have even removed the transforming sound - the characters yell "Transform!" instead. It's like I would run around in a movie with a gun yelling "bang! bang!".
