This entire thread was inspired by Speed Racer. I got the idea to do this thread after watching the intro of Speed Racer again, then I forgot to include it in the list. It should have been number 1. I've added it (at the end) as a bonus video.

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels is on the list.

Thanks

31) Voltron, Defender of the Universe

32) Battle of the Planets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acOnskcyrtA

Proudly Voltron generation! cheesy cheesy

I had a HUGE crush on Keith, and that was even before I understood what I was feeling for this cartoon character.

Battle of the Planets was very techy, which is why I was never really drawn to it the way I was drawn to Voltron

Lets leave this CARTOON NEWS and digress a little and look at the achievement of the socalled government broadcasting network in Nigeria since inception.

In my own candid opinion, the NTA TELEVISION STATION and RADIO NIGERIA ( the radio arm of it ) have not grown or developed to International standard. It is still its OLD SCHOOL SELF not minding its integral role which is to champion federal government PROPAGANDA NEWS.

Take Radio Nigeria for example, they still strive on OBSOLETE BROADCASTING EQUIPMENT.

Switch on your SHORTWAVE RADIO BY 7:00 am and 4:00 pm to listen to radio Nigeria and see the defeaning sound and cracking sounds that come out of their news broadcast. You can NOT even hear the news the newscaster is reading.

MOST FM STATION can not even hook up to radio Nigeria because of the poor reception.

NIGERIA IS SO BACKWARD and UNDERDEVELOP due to corruption in high places.

Our procurement agencies with the connivance of most department head go and buy substandard broadcast equipment even though money was budgeted for quality and modern broadcast equipment.

ONLY FEW PEOPLE BORDER TO LISTEN TO NTA and RADIO NIGERIA as at today.

Multichoice have since rubbish our federal ministry of information and all its governmental agencies.
