I remember coming home from school in the 80's to watch ABC telly like Astroboy, The Goodies, Dr Who etc. In between the programs they always had this little psychedealic, drug-f***ed music clip called 'The Butterfly Ball' made by hippies. It's about a singing frog who is tripping.

Ahhh nostalgia



P.S This really IS old!

i soooo remember that

Im 30 and I don't remember that.

Where Am I?

prolly on the same s***, the butterflies were on.

i'm 29 and remember it like it was yesterday xD

Haha

I remember seeing that on the ABC during the day back in the early 80's

LOL

Love it.

I remember watching this on ABC in the arvos back then and cranking the volume every time it came on. Great memories.

A few years ago an old mates missus and myself got to talking about it and we couldn't find any other people that remembered it, let alone someone who had a recording of it.

haha

woah, FLASHBACK

Nope - dont remember it

cool find... i remember it but i couldn't remember where from :P

I don't remember that one, but this one I can't forget...

I would have been maybe 4 when I last saw that, but I remember it well, having watched it again.

You could have explained it to me in very fine detail and I would have just given you a blank look, but watching it again I can remember it. . . Wonder how many times I watched it as a child.

Awesome.

hahah the trap door i rememeber it well!

dont you open that TRAPDOOOOOOOR!!

good call wet.

this thread is now dedicated to the awesomeness of 80's abc arvo tv

The cities of gold were bitchen.

Nicly done strex

StreX you legend! Was my fav cartoon for aaages. Looked forward to it every day after school.

The flying gold falcon(?) was a bit out there, but was an awesome series. :)

Memories. . .

Ahh, Trap door, that show comforts me.

I dont remember that Trapdoor one. If it was 90's then I wouldn't have seen it.

i remeber the trap door. none of the others though.

Battle of the planets. How cool.

yeah, trapdoor is new school. Cool show though. What was the skull's name again?

CHiPs



V



Buck Rogers

Dungeons & Dragons (cartoon)

there was also a show about some thrown out dolls or something but i cant remeber what it was called. there was also that mouse cartoon.

raggy dolls


danger mouse?

well done mav thats them

dangermouse rocked, wd mav

RavnOs, the "thrown out dolls" show was called The Raggy Dolls and the one about the mice was called The Ratty's (voiced by Spike Milligan).

Can't wait to get home to relive my childhood (can't watch these vids at work)...

Also, The Red and The Blue (clay animation) was cool, and that little dude on ABC(?) that used to just walk over sandhills in the desert to the extremely repetitive but addictive moog-style tune, the name of which escapes me now.

Ahh, good times. Also The Goodies if no one has mentioned it.

edit: damn, beaten on The Raggy Dolls.

adblock for the win

Ahhh Monkey
I've got Season 1 on DVD
Driving force of why I enjoy using a staff to smack people

Anyone remember Giant Robot?
Black & White Jap series of a kid who controlled "Giant Robot" an flew with him into combat on the palm of his hand. To this day I'm still trying to figure out how he fired his fingertips (which were missiles) without killing the kid. Oh, he also had laser beam eyes

Here's a freak out... Doctor Who (Tom Baker: The Space Ark) was the first TV show I ever saw in colour (yes, I'm that old) and it was at my uncles house

PS I'm 37 going on 30ish


Holy crap!!!!
The Banana Splits!

last edited by HERMITech at 23:38:29 21/Aug/06

Oh Also,

Anyone know the name of the french cartoon that involved a character who was part of a continuous line an the pencil would routinely make his life hell by drawing in obstacles which would make the character swear in very "animated" swearing as he tried to overcome them.

Possibly the only decent thing I have ever personally been exposed to that involved the cheese eating surrender monkeys who under current labels would either be called "insurgents" or "terrorists" as opposed to Freedom Fighters

Thank you, and yes I remember Butterfly Ball with great nostalgia...

For all your tacky 80's music clip goodness.

http://www.1500videos.com/

I don't think we needed TMNT the third time
