10 great cartoon themes revisited!

A few months ago, millions of you read my award winning blog '10 great cartoon themes'...

http://overgrownboyscout.blogspot.com/2008/03/10-great-cartoon-themes.html

Of course that list is perfect [like it's humble author] but I felt compelled to pass along a recent discovery, 'The adventures of the Galaxy Rangers'. Somehow this cartoon had slipped by me for 21 years. I don't have any memory of it at all. Well recently I stumbled upon it's intro on youtube and got those chills only 80's cartoon themes can give you.

It's classic 80's, with an announcer and his booming voice giving us a thumbnail of the back story before a driving rock theme kicks in. "No Guts, no glory!". It's great! But it doesn't end there! The outro [end credits] is a totally different theme "Rangers are forever" and it too has a black belt in kickassery.

The series is out on DVD [Season 1 now, Season 2 this fall] and I plan on making up for lost time. Until then...

And this one is for rebelwookiee. I gave 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors' a shot and you know what? I liked it! Again, another one I just didn't watch the first time around. I had seen the intro, but I didn't appreciate it until I watched the DVD. So, this one's for you. "There's a power that comes from deep inside of you!"
