TV: Quick! What was the greatest series of the 1980's? That right, Who's The Boss, now on DVD! Now you can enjoy all the greatest moments you shared with Tony and the rest in one DVD collection! Order yours TODAY!
Me: ...What the heck?
Yes, bring all of them to DVD or something. I'm surprised what was just a part of Animaniacs became it's own series (Pinky and the Brain), but oh well, they were funny. Freakazoid is awesome by the way. I didn't see that until it got to Cartoon Network, but it had such characters to it... Taz-Mania is still my favorite. Just put all of them on DVD and that will be that. They don't even have to do commentaries! Just a menu that consists of Times New Roman font and a single screen shot from the worst scene of the worst episode as the background (copied onto all the DVDs that DON'T have that episode at that) will do just fine, so long as you can select each episode individually I honestly don't care about extra features.
Then there's He-Man... That show was just pathetic.... I'm not sure how your naustalgia twisted the show, but honestly the "new" he-man on Toonami a while back pretty much captured it perfectly. It was the primordial soup from which an endless number of stupid shows came forth back in the 1980's. Allow me to point this out. Almost each and every single character on that show had special features that didn't do jack to make them an interesting super hero, or even a good video game character, but rather was good only in terms of one thing, making a great toy. I mean, the guy with the spinning head with 3 faces, the guy with the extendo neck, the guy with the arm that could be replaced with weapons... None of that is in the least bit interesting from the point of view of a fun super hero to watch or read about, but is PERFECT if your only goal is to sell action figures.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
