    Disney's DuckTales

    Who else watched this show? I used to love it, I used to tape the episodes and watch them again and again...

    Now, 15-20 years later I've acquired all 100 episodes and I'm gonna watch them. Scratch my New Year's resolutions in that off topic thread, this is my new New Year's resolution.

    What's your favorite episode? Your favorite characters?

    I'm in total nostalgia mode.

    Launchpad and Glumgold are the heart of the show. It is glorious. I have rewatched many of them recently and found them still completely enjoyable. Hope you think so too.

    I watch all the old theme songs on YouTube for my nostalgia trips. This, Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale (Rescue Rangers), all of em.

    I myself need only a giant vault of gold coins in which to swim around to achieve nirvana.

    Only Scrooge can swim in those, however... that's a bummer.

    So I'll wear a Scrooge costume. Don't deny me my dreams.

    Just one theatrical feature, but there were a few feature-length season premieres that originally aired combined and were later split up. Video releases in different parts of the world probably put them all back together for a unified running time.

    I loved that movie. There needs to be more movies with obstacle courses, and they can't be called Resident Evil. More like The Last Crusade.

    You know, looking back, DuckTales really was something amazing, with a quality of writing (and animation!) that just isn't found in many kids' shows. In fact, as the years go by, I get more and more ready to consider the possibility that maybe it's superior to my beloved Darkwing Duck.

    It's a close race. DD has that breakfast gauntlet that makes me pee my pants just thinking about it, especially in that one episode where his daughter does it better than him with all those shortcuts.

    I love that show. I have found memories of watching it along with the other early 90s cartoons I watched as a kid. Good times. Simple times. I hate growing old.

    I still think that Gummi Bears is the best written American kids cartoon that's not Loony Tunes.

    Yup, there's DuckTales The Movie (1990) and then there's the first five episodes of the show that was released on a video tape as one long feature, at least it was here in Denmark. I remember I had it.

    I don't know. I searched for a DuckTales discussion and I was surprised to see we didn't have one.

    Damn right. If I ever get through the DuckTales episodes, then Darkwing Duck is next. I remember loving that one as well, but not much else.

    I may give Gummy Bears a shot after I get through DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. I don't remember much of that show.

    I've watched the first two episodes and they were glorious. I may have to quit my job so I can watch this cartoon full-time.

    More later.

    Alright Lasse, you've encouraged me to take my own nostalgia trip.

    I am downloading 65 episodes of The Real Ghostbusters, another one of my favorites.

    I am going to watch a bunch this weekend.

    I really liked this show as a kid, and was always shocked by how dark it was. There is actually an episode in the pack I am getting called The Collect Call of Cthulhu. That's crazy! Ghostbusters was probably my first introduction to Cthulhu, now that I think about it.

    Despite watching this one on a regular basis, I only remember one episode well, where they are playing a game show in Hell. It was totally bizarre.

    Every day for at least a year of my childhood had to begin with this.

    I went back and watched a few not too long ago, still good and yes, surprisingly creepy and dark. The Boogeyman gave me nightmares anew.
