Random As Rhyme

Transformers, GI Joe, Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles are all great shows but everyone remembers them.All great but all really easy to remember. What about the old obscure TV shows with classic 80s metal sound tracks? Or the ones you might have been to old to watch? Most people pretend these shows never existed, not me though, I put them into a bad ass list.

12. Bots Master

What’s not to like about this show?

Robots? check
rap intro? check
Cool toys? check.

The only downfall was this show had parts filmed that took advantage of 3D glasses and I never had any around when it was on.

11. Wild C.A.T.S

Rock intros make any show good. Proof.

10. Mummies Alive

This show was pretty ridiculous…ly awesome! Brendan Fraser only started making money from Mummies after this show laid the ground work.

9. Big Guy and Rusty

I have a good feeling I was ‘too old’ to watch this show. But age is just a number, and robots are great.

8. Samurai Pizza Cats

This show was a big parody of itself other popular cartoons out at the time, which was pretty clever. If you listen close they make fun of the Ninja Turtles in the intro.

7. Street Sharks

With the success of the Ninja Turtles it was not uncommon for show creators to make all sorts of animals bi pedal and fight crime. In this case it was Sharks. But it has also been ducks quite a few times:

6. Gargoyles

This show was actually fairly original for the competition at the time. It got popular enough for a game to be released for Sega Genesis that was quite enjoyable.

5. Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

I actually think I had more books on this show than anything, I should find those books. Anyway this show looks pretty awesome.

4. Biker Mice From Mars

Lyndsey hates when I bring up this show, but this is the only show on the list that was brought back for new audiences. The older show is far, far superior though.

3. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Big wig round table discussion:
Boss: Hey guys whats awesome
Worker #1: Dinosaurs!
Boss: Ok, and what else?
Worker #2: Cadillacs!
Boss: Well gentleman we can take the rest of the day off, lets send this one down to the art department.

2. M.A.S.K.

This show is essentially G.I. Joe and Transformers mixed together, sounds good to me. 80stees.com needs to restock this so I can buy it already.

1. C.O.P.S.

I almost didn’t include this one since my gf remembers it so it can’t be that obscure, however after watching the intro I had a huge smile on my face so it made number one. It’s crime fighting time!

Honorable Mentions

Tranzor Z

I put this under honorable because its so obscure that very few people actually remember it. It took me about 10 years just to remember the tittle.

Bobbys World

Perhaps the best thing Howie Mandel ever did.

Brave Star

Cowboys + future + some crazy shit = This.

Tail spin

I know you wanted to be able to surf behind a plane on a boomerang as much as I did.

My Pet Monster

Again, I was probably too old but whatever.

I could do this all day, and I really shouldn’t. So that’s it for now… maybe.
