what's a TV show you watched as a kid that you're pretty sure you hallucinated

@Taweret not a show but for about 20 years i didn't know "the brave little toaster" was actually a movie, i thought i had just had such a vivid childhood nightmare of a dying air conditioner that it stuck with me forever

@coriander @finn @Taweret this one also used to come on during the day and I watched it because nothing else was on https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7jD3GIZTEzjHS7IV_qWqzDQjCU9WvccO

@weirdofhermiston @finn @Taweret what in the goddamn

@Taweret Aeon Flux, watching that at 2 am in the dark as like an 8 year old probably set me on a path

Oh wait no it definitely set me on a path

@Taweret Some PBS-shown educational show (I think about math) where there were a couple young folks in a space station. There were computers with tape drives. This was 79-80, so skylab-era.

I only remember seeing episodes once or twice -- at least once was actually in class -- and I have never been able to track down what it was.

I assume it was some obscure AIT thing I'm misremembering, but I have no idea.

@coriander @finn @Taweret i fucked with big comfy couch heavily

@Taweret the only one that comes to mind is Thundarr the Barbarian which seemed pretty dark for a Saturday morning cartoon

@Taweret misfits of science, the one where fineas bogg time travels with a watch, "Battle of the Planets" (born as Gatchaman) has lately been pretty well unearthed, the Hulk cartoon with the powerful theme song

@Taweret that was a hellish couple of years for kids cartoons that were not dungeons and dragons, I think that was the year of the kid who melted and turned into a car

@mitten @Taweret hr trippin balls

@Oggie @Taweret Definitely Silverhawks

@Taweret I mean, both the Lost Saucer and Far Out Space Nuts are some prime WTF childrens programming from the 70s...

Really, anything in the Kroft Super Show, for that matter...

@Taweret The New Zoo Review scares me.

@srol @Taweret the animation in this reminds me of samurai pizza cats, somehow.

@Mrfunkedude I literally gasped "oh God!" when it cut to the frog

@Taweret Sigmund and the Seamonsters

@wohali @Taweret omg, eff you. Now that song is stuck in my head right before bed.

Arrrrrrrg!

@Taweret My mother was a teacher and would wake me up early to get ready. This was the only show that played early and was meant for kids.

@i_give_u_worms @Taweret Voyagers was the time travel one -- I have fond memories of that.

There was a saturday morning cartoon in which a teenaged "benjy grimm" used his "thing rings" to transform into The Thing (yes, the orange rock monster from the Fantastic Four). Not really trippy, but not many folks seem to remember it.
