    I used to love the Gummi Bears when I was a kid, but every time I’ve mentioned the show, no one sees to know what I’m talking about. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit:

    This one too. It was kinda like a mix of G.I. Joe & Transformers.

      A just saw a YouTube video about this, David the gnome, and the wuzzles. The absolute raw voice talent they had on those shows is something we will likely be privy to again.

      Both the Gummi Bears and MASK were famous in France for some reason. MASK was weird but fun, they also made a ton of money by selling toys.

        Yeah, cartoons were all about selling toys, even back in the 80’s.

        Here’s another obscure show:

        Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors.

        I don’t remember much about the show, but I was all about the toys.

        I remember having this one:

        Drill Sergeant

      That Gummy bears theme song was like crack. I tried rewatching it now, and it doesn’t have thst same magic anymore. Around that time Voltron was on and Go Bots was around too.

        Yeah, I tried rewatching it not too long ago and it definitely wasn’t as good as I remembered. Theme song was still dope though.

      My dad actually liked that show more than we did I think. When Rugrats had Stu Pickles obsessed with the Dummy Bears cartoon it reminded me of my dad. My dad wasn’t that crazy about it but that bit of characterization made the show more endearing to me.
