Like, say you liked a cartoon when you were little and now it's available on full on DVD. You might buy it for the sake of you liking it as a child. Some shows you might've just bought for the child in you (like say, PBS Kids, Nick Jr or Disney Junior shows).

List all the shows you bought for nostalgia. It doesn't have to be specifically a cartoon, it can be any show you grew up with.

I bought a bootleg set of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood". I still enjoy this show and wish PBS would start airing it again.

DuckTales
Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers
Darkwing Duck
Pee-wee's Playhouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
Garfield and Friends
TaleSpin
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
ALF
Gummi Bears
Dinosaurs
Hey Vern, It's Ernest!
Punky Brewster
Saved by the Bell
Small Wonder
Baywatch

I haven't really (yet) bought sets based on my fond childhood memories of these, but these would be them:

SpongeBob SquarePants (I would only buy the "first 100" episodes set)
Rugrats
Shaun the Sheep
Dragon Tales
Clifford the Big Red Dog
Zoboomafoo
Bear in the Big Blue House
Between the Lions
The Busy World of Richard Scarry
Sagwa
The Magic School Bus
Theodore Tugboat
Postman Pat

These were (some) of my very fond childhood memories! I would so buy these if complete season/series sets of these if they were made available!

I also wish that PBS would air it again, or any channel that's interested. I could see Sprout (which was owned by PBS until a little while ago) airing it in their early years, but they didn't, which surprises me. Qubo could also decide to air it, or even Antenna and Me-TV for their E/I requirements, but PBS shouldn't just let it rot in the vaults.

There is a complete Magic School Bus set available. I definitely want to get that one because I loved that show as a kid. I would also want Mister Rogers Neighborhood, 1969-1999 Sesame Street, and even Season 1-3 (1992-1995) Barney and Friends as I have fond memories watching those as a kid in the mid-90s. I'd also like to have Wishbone.

It still airs on PBS in a few markets, mostly in Pennsylvania, in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday or Sunday.

I'm surprised Sprout didn't air it either. They aired classic episodes of Sesame Street and Barney. It seems now NBC has taken over Sprout and most of these are gone now.

^I know. It makes me so sad.

I have fond memories of watching "Barney", "Sesame Street", and "Wishbone."

It used to air on my local station as well on Sunday mornings. I was mostly a PBS Kids kid! "Arthur", "Zoboomafoo", "Berenstain Bears", "George Shrinks", "ZOOM", "Postcards from Buster", "Cyberchase" -- good times!

Yes! I remember all those. I also remember the news programs in the 90s. The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Nightly Business Report, Washington Week. Wall Street Week. I had no idea what they were talking about but I loved the graphics and music, I never had cable when I was a kid so PBS was what I watched.

Yay!:-)

I was just thinking: Mill Creek Entertainment works a lot with DHX Media, who owns Arthur. They released "Postcards from Buster" as season one (but called it the complete series? I don't know why?) but I wish they would release full-season sets of "Arthur".

Shows I bought purely for nostalgia were the cartoon shows of the 60s/70s that I enjoyed. There they sit on the bookshelf unwatched.

It still airs on PBS in a few markets, mostly in Pennsylvania, in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday or Sunday.

Oh. Figures it'd be in Pennsylvania. When I used to watch "Mister Rogers" as a kid, "Reading Rainbow" would follow it. Remember "Reading Rainbow"? I used to love that show.

:nonono: Shame on you dakert! :nonono: I have a little over 175 Children's Shows in my collection, and I devote Saturdays to watching them. I enjoy recreating my childhood! :D

I want to buy Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends, Shaun the Sheep, ChalkZone, The Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim soon.

Yes, I remember Reading Rainbow. I liked that one too. And also Lamb Chop's Play Along.

Not all of them...

Land Of The Lost
Ark II
Space Academy
Jason Of Star Command
Thundarr The Barbarian
Isis
Dungeons & Dragons
Monster Squad (live action 70's series)
Scooby Doo Where Are You (and others of their older cartoons not including Scrappy)
Danger Mouse

Yes!!! Loved Lamb Chop!!

The reason I ask this is because some people will buy shows they grew up with on DVD, but they'll sit on a bookshelf unwatched.

Have you seen the prices "The Big River" is charging for Ark II, The Secrets of Isis and Jason of Star Command, as well as the Filmation Sci-Fi Box Set ? :eek: omg: :eek2:

If these sets were offered for sale at "The Big River" back when they aired on TV it would take me 60 weeks to save enough allowance to purchase them at today's prices. :rofl:

Some OOP cartoons are insanely priced. Like "Garfield & Friends", for instance. I want that show, but it's wayyy expensive.

Guilty as charged! Many of the things I've gotten releases of have sat very much untouched.

Johnny Quest!
Rocky and Bullwrinkle Show
Combat!
The Gallent Men

M Squad
