Cartoons from the ’80s and ’90s You've Probably Forgotten About

Right, this is about a bunch of random cartoons from the ‘80s and ‘90s that no one really remembers. You know, the ones that were kinda there but, like, whatever. Let’s just skim through it with a big ol’ shrug.

Denver, the Last Dinosaur (1988)

A green dinosaur who skateboarded and played guitar? Sure, why not. He hung out with some kids and taught them about friendship or whatever. The theme song was kinda catchy, but honestly, who even cares? It’s not like anyone’s still talking about Denver.

The Biskitts (1983-1984)

Tiny medieval dogs guarding treasure. Sounds like someone tried to rip off The Smurfs but with dogs. It was cute, I guess, but not exactly groundbreaking. Probably got lost in the sea of better cartoons.

Count Duckula (1988-1993)

A vegetarian vampire duck. Yeah, that’s a thing. He didn’t drink blood, just ate veggies. Weird, but okay. It had a decent run, but it’s not like anyone’s out here cosplaying as Count Duckula. Moving on.

Bucky O’Hare (1991)

A green space rabbit fighting evil toads. Sounds like someone threw a bunch of random ideas into a blender. It lasted one season, had some toys, and then vanished. Cool for the five people who remember it, I guess.

The Wuzzles (1985)

Animal hybrids like Bumblelion (bee + lion) and Eleroo (elephant + kangaroo). Looking like a Care Bears wannabe, it was… fine? Lasted 13 episodes, and then disappeared. Not exactly a cultural phenomenon.

Widget the World Watcher (1990-1992)

A purple alien teaching kids about the environment. Basically Captain Planet but less memorable. It tried to be educational, but let’s be real, kids probably just wanted to watch something more exciting.

Bravestarr (1987-1988)

A sci-fi Western with a guy who had “Eyes of the Hawk” and “Ears of the Wolf.” Oh, and he had a talking horse. Sure, why not. It was kinda cool, I guess, but not cool enough to stick around.

Beverly Hills Teens (1987)

A cartoon about rich teens living in Beverly Hills. Basically a soap opera for kids. It lasted one season, which is probably one season too many. Over-the-top and kinda pointless.

Street Sharks (1994-1997)

Buff shark-human hybrids fighting evil and riding motorcycles. Sounds awesome on paper, but in reality, it was just kinda dumb. Still, it had action figures, so someone must’ve cared.

Captain N: The Game Master (1989-1991)

A kid gets sucked into Nintendo games and teams up with characters like Mega Man and Simon Belmont. Sounds like a gamer’s dream, but it was kinda lame. The characters didn’t even look like their game versions. Pass.

The Snorks (1984-1989)

Underwater Smurfs with snorkels. It lasted a few seasons, but honestly, it was just a Smurfs knockoff. I think someone may have snorked a little bit too much of something when they came up with this idea. Not terrible, but not exactly memorable either.

Anyway, yep, these cartoons existed. Some people might remember them, but most probably don’t. They’re just kinda there, taking up space in the “remember this?” section of your brain. If you’re feeling nostalgic, maybe check them out. Or don’t. It’s not like you’re missing much.
