80's Toons on DVD this week 3/14

[captain_slinky]

It's actually a pretty slow week for 80's cartoons on DVD... matter of fact, the only thing being released tomorrow even remotely 80's is "Speed Racer: Collector's Edition Volume 4". Sure it was a 60's cartoon, but it got pretty heavy play in the 80's (at least where I came from). Unfortunately, the only time I ever watched Speed Racer was when some stupid sporting event preempted my usual cartoons for the day. And to this day I *STILL* hate televised Golf and College Football.

Speed Racer I just didn't like. And they tried HARD to get me to like it! Fast cars, a girl who looked kinda like Betty Rubble (the HAWTEST married chick in all cartoondom), and best of all A MONKEY!!! How could you not like that?

Well I didn't like it. Never have, probably never will :(

Star Blazers for us PNW boys was like nothing that anyone else experienced. Talk to anyone outside the greater Seattle area and they have little or no idea of what Star Blazers was. But thanks to channel 11 we got our weekdaily fix of a science-fiction epic that rivaled Star Wars!

Going back and watching it now, though, it's not nearly as epic :(
