Nostalgic parody, perhaps? Joel Send a noteboard - 14/03/2012 10:51:14 AM
I mostly saw them as reruns in the 80s and mostly as crap that was on TV at 6 am before I went to school that was preferable to the channel that always played Romper Room. Really I remember them mostly from Space Ghost C2C, the Harvey Birdman spin off, and Venture Bros. I still have a bunch of the C2C on VHS, hard to believe that was twenty years ago.

25 or 6 to 4? :P My viewing conditions were basically the same, except including the late '70s, where Battle of the Planets is still the pick of the litter.

Ah G-force, another of those shows I can't really remember beyond remembering that I remember watching them... Titan Maximum, now that's a shoe I'd have liked to see more of. We probably need a genre name for grown up shows parodying the awful crap we all watched as kids.

Pretty sure Battle of the Planets somehow acquainted me with nostalgia in the early '80s (even though its original US run had not yet finished.) Either that, or summers spent watching fifty year old and/or B movies all night with my dad after I had read long enough for my mom to fall asleep. One of the nice things about living in a city as big as Houston was that there were multiple independent stations even in the early '80s and they did not just turn to snow at 2AM (most stations STILL do in Ausin.) White Heat and Invasion of the Bee Girls (usually) beat Charlie Rose on Nightwatch, and DEFINITELY beat Ag Day. :P

I take issue with three of those. - 15/03/2012 04:29:39 PM 639 Views
Well the definitions aren't that ambigous - 15/03/2012 06:11:03 PM 706 Views
These seem to be getting increasingly obscure... I suppose that makes sense in a way. - 13/03/2012 08:49:04 PM 594 Views
Mostly a byproduct of why this quiz appears so soon after the last - 13/03/2012 08:58:43 PM 648 Views
On this one more than all the rest, nationality will tell, I guess. - 13/03/2012 09:03:12 PM 593 Views
That's probably a bit unavoidable - 13/03/2012 09:24:39 PM 663 Views
I totally remembered his name until you asked the question. - 13/03/2012 11:14:19 PM 770 Views
I only knew 1, 3, 5, and 10. - 13/03/2012 09:20:56 PM 665 Views
1, 3, 5, 7 for me - 13/03/2012 09:34:55 PM 764 Views
16; not bad for a non-comic geek, IMHO. - 13/03/2012 10:58:48 PM 840 Views
