Strawberry Shortcake

While it wasn't really a TV show, but a series of videos and a collection of scented dolls (and no, the new Strawberry Shortcakes do NOT smell like the old ones), I still feel this cartoon deserves a place among "Really Cool Cartoons".

Strawberry Shortcake lived in Strawberry Land, where all of her friends had food names, like Lime Chiffon and Huckleberry Pie (the one boy among them) and their pets had food names as well (Strawberry's pet was Custard).

There was also villians, the Purple Pieman and Sour Grapes, who were constantly trying to thwart Strawberry and her friends.

The specials were most likely a vehicle through which to sell the toys...but that was ok by me. It worked, and I LOVED my dolls. I just wish they hadn't gone the way of all things cool and disappeared somewhere.
