Okay I'm trying to find the name of a cartoon I watched in the 80's.
My memory of it isn't very good, but I loved watching it. (This thread was inspired by the poll)
It was very surreal, it looked like it was made in Japan - however it is not (typical) anime.
It was set in the future (I think), and the characors seemed to be these strange blobs(no humanoid figures)
It was very strange.
Now this is where Australians might be able to help:
It was shown early in the morning on ABC, along with Denis the menis, Abott and costello, the crap cartoon verson of The Wizard of Oz, and 'Sun Tots' (I think that's it's name)
Perhaps somebody has kept old TV-Guide, or TV-Extra, or something that shows what TV show's were on in the 80's
Any references?

Don't look at me, doesn't ring any bells....

I remember that!!! Can't for the life of me think of the name. :idea:
Guess I have to search google, or it'll drive me nuts!

Hmmm... Barbapapa (http://directory.google.com/Top/Arts/Animation/Cartoons/Titles/B/Barbapapa/?il=1)?
That's the only "blob cartoon" on TV that rings a bell here. It was broadcast on Swedish TV as well, but I don't remember much of it, other than that the characters could morph into whatever they wanted.
BTW, that's a really nice and eerily familiar looking avatar you've got there, iamaboringperson... ;) It made me feel compelled to "upgrade" again.

Could it be the Herculoids with Zandor, Tara, Tundro, Gleep, Gloop, Igoo, and Zok! I think Gloop and Gleep where the blop like things.

:lol: It wasn't quite as colorful as that, and it was a hell of a lot more serious looking (not a comedy).

That does look familiar, however (well, it looks close to it, anyway).
Probably the closest match so far. :)

@ sumner7
Yea quite a catchy theme tune , i remember...
[Kum Kum better]
@Cyberus
Known as the Gerbil?
that nibbled away at the Africa Kore, and drank ice cool beer in Alex ...
[Alexandera - book/stageplay/film]

Sounds very similar to "Gumby", now you have me thinking.

Did you ever have a cartoon called KUM KUM?
(in Sweden)?
*googles*
This (http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/tombstone/890/kumkum.htm)? Nope, not AFAIR.
Rule of thumb (with Barbapapa being an exception): If it wasn't Soviet, East German or Czechoslovakian, we probably didn't have it on Swedish children's TV back in the "good old days"... :P
BTW is that Avatar of Rommel?
[Rommel goes to NY]
Yes. After the plot to assassinate Hitler and abolish national socialism was successful, Germany dropped an ill-devised blueprint for something called "Operation Barbarossa", and instead turned their gaze across the Atlantic (all US troops were tied up in the Pacific and in Normandy). It's thanks to this that the USA today is known for its good coffee, beer, music, cars and its worldwide franchises of fast food restaurants serving delicious Sauerkraut and sausages.
Zzzz...uuuh...huh? Time to wake up already? Bloody Mondays.
Extra story update:
Mikey mouse has died! (yesterday i think, story at /.)
Oh? I could only find this (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/08/161206&mode=nested&tid=134&tid=160) /. story, but that doesn't make things look too bright for Mickey and his brethren.

Actually I was talking about that cute little Hieronymus Bosch monster (could have been cached here and you changed avatars again). I seem to remember somebody else using that in the olden days... ;)

That and "Tårtan" made youth bearable. And "Dr. Drøvel". :)

Heh! That looong (ok, a few years) was before my time, oldtimer! :-D

Hey, I didn't watch Tårtan the first time they aired it! (196[?])
"Fääääääääääädiiiiiii!"
OK, Beppe (RIP) was great as well. Dang, maybe life back then wasn't so bad after all? :) Modern children's TV seems to be what causes ADHD/DAMP or whatever the heck they call the "nervous, spoilt and neglected brat" syndrome these days... The mutation of something quiet and philosophical like Winnie the Pooh into the usual sloppily CG-animated loud screaming hysterical action adventure was the final straw. :P

I think I found it!!!!
Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea!
(I'm 99% sure)
