Kidd Video

"Aye-yaye-yaye-we look like--cartoons!"

You gotta love it!!!

This cartoon is one that haunted me for years, until recently. I knew the plot(a "real" rock band gets sucked into an alternate universe where they become cartoons) and I knew the bad guy's name "Master Blaster". It wasn't until recently that I was able to get more information on this really cool 80s cartoon. I'd completely forgotten about the little pixie, "Glitter" whose magic in her sneeze and the Master Blaster's thugs, the Copy Cats. A great source for all things "Kidd Video" is www.kvflipside.org. There are episode guides, as well as youtube links to watch the episodes.

My Little Pony

"My Little Pony" was all the rage in the 80s. A friend of mine had every toy there was...the stables, playsets...it was awesome. It centered around a little girl named Megan who helped the ponies of Dream Valley in their fight against evil in Ponyland. Other types of ponies were introduced, including the Princess Ponies (who had wings) and the Seaponies. It was a huge phenomenon that has recently enjoyed a resurrgance in the toy business, but they'll never be quite the same as the original toys.
