Two things:

1) I watched a "Best of the Best of The Electric Company" over the weekend. I completely forgot that Bill Cosby was a main player on that show. And did it bring back memories. Letterman. The giant wall with the "2001" music theme. The psychedelic light shows.

2) I predict Hercules will get smoked. I also predict Krydor will moan and groan about the youths and tastes of today (or yesterday, as the case may be).

Electric Company vs. The Secret World of Alex Mack - O only watched one of these two shows. That was Mack. She gets my vote.

GUTS - vs. Wild and Crazy Kids - Both were shows about Kids being athletic. One was structured and one was a mess. I'll take the structure. I always wanted to be on Guts.



Cartoon Showdown :


Jetsons vs. Gummi Bears - I watched and liked Gummi but this is no contest. The Jetsons were awesome.

X-Men - vs. Mighty Hercules - I only saw bits and pieces of these. Right now I'd vote X-Men because I remember more from it.

[Deleted]

Everything M-kid just said, except for the W.A.C.K. vs. GUTS. I'm gonna be up in the air on this one for awhile (both were my nominations). I always wanted to be on GUTS because it was basically a kids' version of American Gladiators. But I also always wanted Wild And Crazy Kids to come to my school.

[Deleted]

P.S. I'll vote for EITHER over HR Puffentsuff. You'd really have to be puffin' stuff to enjoy that shit.

Electric Co. was awesome. Bill Cosby in the "Picture Pages" segment with the wierd pen that made all sorts of noise. Brilliant!
I know nothing of the two kids action type shows. But "GUTS" is a better name.

Jetsons wins on the strength of 1) Rastro: "Ruh-roh, Rorge!" and 2) the car that folded into a briefcase. Plus, while Gummi Bears are great fun to eat, I don't want to watch them frolic on my TV screen. Unless they shoot lasers out of their eyes.
X-Men smoke all comers. Hercules? Hercules?! Does he have a berserker attack? I think not.
I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!

Electric Company hands down. I grew up on that one and it was very enjoyable. However, reading the wiki makes me appreciate it even more. That cast was amazing. Rita Moreno. Gene Wilder. Cosby. Morgan Freeman (who I remembered as Letterman). Holy shit. And all doing a kid's show? Wow. However...those damn youngsters look like they're gonna make this one a close one with their Alex Mack love. Flibbeldy Floo.

Jetsons squash.

Voting for X-Men.

My vote is for sale on the GUTS vs. Wild Crazy Kids. Anyone on the fence for Electric Company/Alex Mack and wants to talk vote swapping - let me know.

[salmonjunkie]

Electric Co. - Never seen Alex Mack, don't even remember it. PICTURE PAGES!

GUTS - My little sister watched Wild and Crazy Kids when she was young and I didn't care for it. She also watched Guts, and that was a tad bit more entertaining.

Jetsons - easy. Gummi Bears were gay

X-Men - easy.

[Lucky]

Same a hot chick will lose my vote but I loved Electric Company and never watched a single episode of Alex Mack. Gotta make sure it doesn't lose seeing as how its the first live action contestant I had fond memories of.

I've never heard of GUTS or WACK. Any hot chicks?

Apparently I'm the only person who liked the Gummi Bears, except for who ever voted them on. Or maybe I just dug the theme song. X-Men easy.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

GUTS had a female voiceover host. I've seen worse. I can't remember if and who was the female host of WACK. I'll have to look it up.

Live Action :

Electric Company vs. The Secret World of Alex Mack - EC all the way here.

GUTS vs. Wild and Crazy Kids - I've never even heard of either of these.


Cartoon Showdown :

Jetsons vs. Gummi Bears - It's gotta be Gummi Bears for me. Jetsons never interested me at all.

X-Men vs. Mighty Hercules - This one's actually tough for me. I loved the X-Men (early? 90s), but I also loved the Hercules cartoon. Daedalus, Mask, Newton, Toot, Helen -- all great supporting characters. And the giant monsters unleashed on Herc all made the exact same hissing/roaring noise that was absolutely priceless. I'll have to make up my mind come voting time on this one.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

Here is Mo from GUTS

[Deleted]

Yeah, tough draw for the Gummi Bears. LOVED the theme song. And I always wanted some of that "magic potion" that made them bounce off of everything.

Oh wait, I can get some of that, myself. It's called Red Bull.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I'm having trouble finding a pic of the WACK host Jessica Gaynes. She didn't do much else it seems.

[Deleted]

Yeah, I could only find pics of Annette Chavez. She only hosted the first year, though.

WACK did have Cuba's brother Omar, too.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I can find plenty of pictures of Omar.

[Deleted]

Yeah, because he's actually DONE stuff since that show.

[Krydor]

Electric Company
No Goddamn Idea
Jetsons
X-Men

Jetsons was essentially a Flinstones of the Future, with Spacely and Slate being literally interchangable. As in, for awhile Slate was Spacely and Spacely was Slate. Freaked me out, man.

The Mighty Hercules was absolute crap. Based on the penchant for people 'round here to vote for absolute crap, I predict the absolute crap that is Hercules will beat the X-Men. It looks like Underdog, has a theme song like Hong Kong Phooey, the animation is not just shit, but absolute shit.

Look at the gay subtext!

[Lucky]

The funny thing is I've never see that cartoon in my life. I was presuming that Hercules was that Disney one they did in the '90s.

[Krydor]

That was crap too, but for different reasons.

Remember the Flintstones meet the Jetsons when Fred and George switch jobs? If anything showed that Slate and Spacely were interchangeable, it was that.

[Krydor]

Which Slate was better? Bald Slate or Short Slate?
