Saturday mornings were SACRED in the 80s! While everyone remembers ThunderCats and Transformers, these forgotten animated gems pushed the boundaries of bizarre storytelling to extremes that would NEVER make it past network executives today!

"Turbo Teen" featured a teenager who painfully transformed into a RED SPORTS CAR whenever he got hot (complete with nightmare-inducing transformation sequences), while "The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang" inexplicably sent Fonzie and friends TIME TRAVELING.

From tiny people living in walls to holographic knights to Gary Coleman as a guardian angel, these forgotten Saturday morning treasures defined Gen X childhoods and pushed animation to its wildest limits!
