I'd pay good $$ for the set - Space Ace, Pitfall and Q*bert were pretty good (Q*bert in its own weird way) The Pac-Man cartoon was a standalone and while the animation was horrendous at times, turning a basic game like that into a show wasn't easy. Visionaries had some really cool concepts and Merklin was a dick. Soft spot in my heart for Filmation's Bravestarr. 30/30 is the hero we don't deserve. The Pac Man cartoon also aired on ABC. IIRC Saturday Supercade was on CBS. I loved the Dragon's Lair cartoon. Thanks to reruns on Boomerang you can find copies fairly easy, Q bert had that weird 50s AIP teen comedy feel. I loved Donkey Kong Jr as a kid,but it doesn't hold that well as an adult. Frogger is still fun. Kangaroo is ok. My faves were Space Ace and Pitfall. I LOATHED Donkey Kong Jr - if there ever was another scrappy....... I also liked Dragon's Lair - especially since they incorporated the "choose your fate" thing before commercials. And I want the Pitfall episodes just for the one when Quickclaw was turned into a sabretooth. Thought it was nice touch in Pitfall! 2 that Rhonda and Quickclaw were in there to rescue

I got Pitfall II and it was like playing the cartoon to me. That is still my favorite 2600 game.

If we're crossing over to just obscure cartoons in general, it must begin and end with The Raccoons. That is all.
I also guess, by comparison with the Lions....Vehicle Voltron too?

Can this be found anywhere now? Or does it air anywhere Internationally? All that I can find online is the theme song and a few very short clips. I used to watch it all the time when it first aired and I came home from school. I remember there was one episode where the boy Mr. Bogus lived with was given a computer from his parents. It had the gag where the parents are talking before giving it to him and the dad says something like, “He deserves it for getting great grades. Well pretty good grades. Well better grades than I used to get.” Then later on the boy finds the computer and says something like, “Wow a computer! I guess I deserve it for getting great grades. Well pretty good grades. Well better grades than dad used to get.” In episode Mr. Bogus then either goes inside the computer and plays against the computer villains or the villains pop out of the computer to battle Mr. Bogus. I think the main bad guys were also two rats. I think I remember Mr. Bogus scrapping with rats, but mainly dirt dudes (large, fluffy dust bunnies). What I really enjoyed most about Mr. Bogus were the short claymation segments, the theme song, and the dance the Mr. Bogus sometimes did. (It was called the 'Bogus bounce.')

Weren't Rhonda and Quickclaw also mentioned in...Super Pitfall? At least its description in The Official Nintendo Player's Guide did.

It’s been over 20 years since I’ve watched a full episode so I trust your memory over mine Also, I agree it was cool that they incorporated claymation and more traditional animation.

Remember Speed Racer's comeback via Fred Wolf Films? On a related note....JAMES BOND JR? !!!!!! The first time I ever saw Speed Racer. In fact, I prefer that version of the Mach 5.

Anyone remember The New Archies? (come to think of it, counting Sabrina, there's been at least one Archie tv show (live action or animation) every decade since the 60s).

Might have to pick it up. shouldn't be that much these days Cart only shouldn't run you more than 5 to 10 bucks. And it isnt one of the 2600 games you need an instruction manual to play it. It is a well done adventure game. And one of the few 2600 games I knew had an ending back in the day. It,Ghostbusters,ET,Adventure and the 3 Swordquest games were the only ones with known endings.It wasn't until I got online in the mid 90s that I found out crystal Castles in the arcade and on the 2600 has an ending. IIRC the C64 version of Pitfall II has a Zelda 1 like second quest. Once you beat the game you are given the opinion to play it again but the items have been moved around a bit. If it isn't the C64 version it is some 80 era home computer.

That was the early 90s one right? On NBC IIRC. I had forgotten about it then found an issue of the New Archies comic at the comic shop in town's cheap bins. It is odd Archie seems to ignore their own continuity when telling stories with the main cast as kids or young teens. Mostly cause Veronica didn't move to Riverdale until 15 or so. So why does she appear in Lil Archie and the New Archies?

It’s been over 20 years since I’ve watched a full episode so I trust your memory over mine I think Mr. Bogus' arch-nemesis was Badis, a sinister clone of Mr. Bogus. I didn't see Badis too often, though.

Road Rovers, Phantom 2040 and Fillmore. I'm still shocked at how much Disney let slide. My favorite episode is their parody/retelling of Lethal Weapon 2, complete with the "Danny Glover visits the South African embassy" scene.
