C.O.P.S. stands for Central Organization of Police Specialists.
M.A.S.K. stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand.

Those two shows were practically the same, but they were both awesome. Sorry I left out so many good ones – He-Man was good, and She-Ra was alright (I guess I never really watched this one much), but yeah, I guess I totally forgot the Smurfs. My Little Pony was definitely a show (of the 30-minute toy commercial variety), but I don’t think we watched it much.

Tragically, there is no Voltron poster on my wall. I do have a bunch of my stuff up in our office, though, which means there’s a Transformers poster Christian got me one time. I even have four newer Transformers on our bookshelf.

I agree about Garfield and Friends – this was one of the first shows that I made Julia rent with me from Blockbuster Online after we were married. I don’t think she liked it much, but I loved it and could remember almost all of the episodes from the first season. I’ll have to watch to see if it ever comes on sale.

There’s plenty more to comment about, but I think Emmy want to do something. I’d better get out some old Transformers cartoons!

Care Bears. Yes, love the Care Bears. I don’t think I could pick a favorite. It used to be Share Bear, but they changed her symbol when they rereleased the Bears in “this generation” — now it’s two lollipops where it used to be two straws in a soda. Why? Backwashing? Ah well; Wish Bear and Funshine Bear and Friendship Bear and Cheer Bear can all be my new favorites in a big four-way tie. And remember of the Care Bear Cousins? Of course you do. Gentle Heart Lamb was my favorite (even though she is mint green, which is a weird color for a sheep.)

What does C.O.P.S. and M.A.S.K. stand for??

I remember hardly anything from DangerMouse except that is was THE COOLEST EVER. Well, I remember the eyepatch and “Oh crumbs.”

I also loved DuckTales (woo-ooh!) (Duh, we lived in the same house; we are bound to have similar tastes).

Okay, I take back anything I said was my favorite. Garfield and Friends IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITEST FAVORITE EVER. I didn’t care for U.S. Acres (I thought Roy was a big meanie, whereas Garfield was just HILARIOUS, all the time). Binky’s “heeeeeey cat!”: ALWAYS funny. I would always be mad if I slept in past 9:00 on Saturday mornings and missed Garfield (even when it got to be reruns all the time). I would even write in my journal about it: “I missed Garfield this morning. I am soooo mad.” (Then I would talk about where I found a secret 1UP in Mario Brothers or something. “And Alex didn’t even know about it!!!!!” Yeah — that happened, like, ONE time.)

Anyway. Remember that Garfield where Jon wants to learn Spanish? Sometimes I want to answer the phone saying “hola, Paco. Que tal? Como estas?” And then there’s “record player? What’s a record player?” GOOD TIMES. I think I need this on DVD. I would make Nathan watch them with me and he would get a kick out of me laughing my guts out. (Gross.)

G.I.Joe. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. I never watched this show, yet I remember saying this to my friends anyway.

I remember reading Wuthering Heights in high school and thinking, “dude, why did Emily Bronte name her character after a CAT?” (Okay, just kidding. But I DID immediately associate Heathcliff with the cat, of course.) When I think “Heathcliff” now, I start singing the theme song in my head. “Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one shou-ould / terrorize their neighborhood!”

Inspector Gadget. Yes, loved that one, too. I couldn’t understand why he was so dweeby and not-smart though. I took these shows waaaay too seriously.

Do you remember the (dumb) parody I made up of the M.A.S.K. theme song? It was really dumb. “Ma-ma-ma-mask. MASK! Is the mighty power that CAN’T save the da-ay-ay!” (I was sooooo funny!) I think I secretly wanted to play with you guys but you were obsessed with that show and I just didn’t like it.

I remember loving Snorks, but again, I can’t remember why. I do remember watching it in Farmington, though. Same with Smurfs, which also has six letters and begins and ends with “s.”

I have too much to say about TMNT. I thought I didn’t really like them, and yet somehow when I saw the first movie on TNT or whatever a few years back, I could anticipate/quote, like, every single line. What is that stuff doing, taking up memory in my brain?? (“Do you like penicillin on your pizza?”)

I don’t remember anything about Thundercats except for Taylor liking them, too.

“My grandma used to go to garage sales a lot, and she had a knack for finding lots of these toys discarded by children whose parents didn’t recognize the coolness factor of having every Transformer ever.” LOL. This is me:

So I started making the Transformer noise (you know, while they’re transforming, they make the “ch-ch-ch-ch-CH!” noise) while laying down Logan (and later, Joshua) for diaper changes. Now when they go to Uncle Alex’s and see Transformers they are going to think the Transformers have stinky diapers, probably.

All I remember about Voltran was your poster of it on your wall. (By the way, is it still on your wall, or did Julia make you take it down? I kid.)

I really enjoyed your obsession with G.I.Joe and Ninja Turtles as this meant it was easy-peasy going Christmas shopping for you. “What guy don’t that have yet? Oh, no Casey Jones?? Happy Christmas, all for six dollars!” I miss those days. (Then again, maybe you still wouldn’t mind a Transformer, eh??)

P.S. Logan was playing with his Optimash Prime today. Cuteness.

(Hello, this comment was soooo long I should have just written my own post. Get your own blog, Beth. Seriously.)

But yeah. FUNNY!

I will comment in more detail later, but when I come back, I expect to see entries on 1. He-Man and/or She-Ra, 2. Rainbow Brite (what, no??) 3. Strawberry Shortcake, 4. Smurfs (I can’t believe you have ThunderCats on here and not Smurfs), and 5. My Little Pony (another commercial. Was it a cartoon even? I know there was a movie or five.)
