So, then... Muppet babies we'll make our dreams come true We're tiny we're toony Music Television MTV So, what do you think? Fritzi?? Sorry, honey! Could you repeat that? I just went to the 80s for a while!
“From the late ‘60s to the late ’80s, Saturday morning network cartoons were pretty much subordinate to Parents Groups. The serious super-hero cartoons that popped up around 1966 – 1968 were accused of being too violent, and the networks (at the time, ABC, CBS, and NBC) gave in and began airing some of the blandest cartoons you’d ever want to see: Archie, Scooby-Doo, The Smurfs, and a bunch of live-action shows that parents loved such as The Banana Splits, H R Pufnstuff, Land of the Lost, and others.”-But all that change in the 1980’s and 1990’s when cartoon shows like “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” and the original “The Transformers” went back to throwing punches (with injuries) and shootings (but with no one being killed) as well as live-action shows (with the emphasis on “Action”) came along like “Power Rangers”, “V. R. Troopers” and “Masked Rider” that were full of monsters and robots being destroyed at the end of every battle!

Starting to worry about Fritzi; she’s constantly going back to the past.

Tiny Toons didn’t begin until 1990, but close enough. XD

I find the first frame interesting considering the avatar I use is the Holograms drummer Raya.
