Obscure cartoons of the past

Mainly, I wanted to comment on Bucky O'Hare, because, man alive, was that a large part of my early childhood. I loved that friggin' series more than anything, and it was probably one of my favorite action cartoons alongside Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before the Saturday morning ABC Sonic came out. I've heard there's supposedly eventual work to attempt to do a Bucky movie, but this is probably just a rumor.

Schnookums and Meat was a sort of a variety cartoon show, it showed up in the Disney afternoon (and eventually "killed it" due to it's bizarre and more adult style humor). It followed an orange cat and a blue dog that beat the crap out of each other Tom and Jerry style, and had 2 other cartoon shows.

The other was the excellent Pith Possum series following a moronic superhero possum which reminded me of Ren and Stimpy, and Tex Avery a LONG running cowboy show loaded with weird jokes and characters. Stickin' Around I actually loved, it was a funny show and clever for a stick figure drawn toon.

It lasted quite a while and it was one of the most inventive shows i think Fox did, Creepy Crawlers WAS a toon. It was about a kid who looked like a teenaged Mighty Max who battled an evil magician with monster sized insects on each side (good and bad). It was on just as Tiny Toons was ending.

I miss the Mystic Knights as it was a very detailed and story driven LIVE show, it was a one of a kind show that featured some amazing costumes and scenery. But of course, back to the point at hand, Bucky. I too LOOOOOOVED this show, it was one of my greatest childhood shows and I still love it today.

It was the most detailed series I had ever seen and it had such a great storyline, it was like Star Wars mixed with Star Fox. I have in fact heard the word about Bucky O'Hare coming back, there are words of it floating around so while it may not be a movie, SOMETHING Bucky related is in the works.

Some people said a new series, some people said a new online series, some a movie, etc. Either way, I think there's a decent chance something for Bucky is coming and I hope so because the series was WAY too short and it deserved more episodes. Plus I'm still pissed the UK are the only ones who got the Bucky DVD pack.

I have to buy the VHS since the UK DVDs have region code 2 in their DVD players so i hope SOON, they decide to sell it in the US. Either way, I hope to see more of Bucky in some format, sooner rather than later.
