Oh my childhood...
I never realised what a throwback the 2008 Spectacular Spider-Man's opening is to 80s and 90s cartoons. The show itself reminds me a lot of what I loved about the old cartoons I watched growing up too.
Was actually looking up old themesongs and hereare some that either made me go \o/ or laugh hysterically or...both XD
What shows/themesongs make y'all go ♥?

- YouTube vids of the opening themesongs:
- Prince Valiant (1991): best theme song ever - just a fab song with a great mood.
- Johnny Quest (1996): hearing this song would make me run to the TV and it still makes me wanna look up old episodes even now.
- Robotech (1985): if not for this show growing up, I'd probably never have gone hunting for anime online, back in high school.
- Carmen Sandiego (1994): the song randomly pops up in my head now and then XD
- Jem & the Holograms (1985): my sister loathed this song 'cause it meant it was time for school and i'd always tune in way early in the morning for it XD
- Batman (1992): the show and the theme song, along with Batman Returns pretty much defined the franchise for me
- Thundercats (1985): was laughing and facepalming through it but this was a big part of my childhood. I fangirled Cheetara so much!
- Teenage Mutanat Hero Turtles (1987): another big part of my youth. My sister and I adored Donatello and today I can't help thinking of the slashy fanart I pointed a while back.
- Gummi Bears (1985): I CAN STILL SING THIS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
- Bionic six (1987): my sis and I had one episode recorded on a tape and watched it multiple times, wishing there was more.
- Chip n Dale (1989): the chorus is crazy catchy but I don't remember the actual show at all
- Mummies Alive (1997): saw this in my early teens and found it kinda fun XD
- X-Men Evolution (2000): it fed my obsession with Rogue very well come to think of it...
- Batman Beyond (2000): After Avatar: The Last Airbender and Spectacular Spider-man, this show and Johnny Quest would probably be my favorite cartoons.
What shows/themesongs make y'all go ♥?
Besides that- old nicktoon show openings like Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, etc. Also the 1st opening for Pokemon, and Digimon (even though these last too started up when I was junior high.)
Oh! There's also the Scooby Doo theme song, not the new ones but the old one where I remember before the song he found Scrappy by the rail yard.
It's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, bb. :p
Also, icon love! The Secret Garden is probably the best movie of all time, haha. I have the soundtrack on my ipod.
The only thing that's missing is He-Man and She-Ra! xDD
And I seriously had a horrible thing for the show 'Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates'. I SKIPPED SCHOOL so I could watch the last episode of the series finale (I think it was like in 3 parts, and I'd had 2 of the 3 days off from school and stayed home 'sick' so I could watch it). xDD
I totaly loved the Bionic 6 I think I watched every episode that they showed *G* I always was into powers gg Also the Gummi Bears and Rainbow bride still are just so cute that whenever I stumble over an episode on tv I stay stuck *G* Sadly I also bouce with the gummy theme while other people are watching. You probably wont know it but damn thats a sad sight *G*
Chip n' Dale! It's the opposite for me. I remember the show, but not the theme song. Which... HOW COULD I FORGET WHEN IT'S SO AWESOME. I remember being crazy about Mummies Alive, but TMNT and Mighty Max I only watched sporadically.
Other than that, I loved Ducktales (watched it at the same time as Chip n' Dale) and Superbook (hahaha my main source of biblical knowledge). Plus there was the anime. Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, Monster Rancher... but that came later.
Well, one that I always lament that most people don't know of is Samurai Pizza Cats. It had this ridiculously catching opening. That and Freakazoid.
I totally agree about Johnny Quest. Super cool, along with Carmen Sandiego.
Besides these, there was one that I personally never saw aired, but it was recorded when my siblings were younger. Saber Riders? Anyone? The design was really hilariously cool. Even now I'll still think it was hilariously awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXtQTzJKikg it has some bad sound quality, but opening is still pretty badass.
