Forgotten Cartoons Ep. 66: El Tigre - Manny Rivera
Howdy, fellow deviants! Thank you for joining me for the 6th anniversary of "Forgotten Cartoons"!
I can hardly believe it's been six years already. I would say that makes me feel old, but I've said stuff like that before, so I won't repeat myself.
Six years ago, I started this review series when I reviewed "Squirrel Boy". At the time, I only had one watcher. However, it wasn't long before I started making friends and gaining more watchers on this site, many of whom were totally into this new review series I was starting at the time. Before long, I had tons of requests from many people on this site, and I've checked out so many shows since then. I've reviewed shows that are hidden gems, shows that should remain forgotten, and everything in between. It really has been quite the journey, and I am grateful for all the friends I've made and all other good things that have come from it.
The show I've decided to review today is yet another show requested by mrskeletonman. It's also one
Howdy, folks! Welcome back to another episode of "Forgotten Cartoons"! Today's show is kind of an interesting one. The show may be kind of "forgotten" itself, but it's based on a comic book franchise that is still very much remembered. Requested by mrskeletonman, it is called "Archie's Weird Mysteries".
"Archie's Weird Mysteries" is based on the long-running comic book series "Archie Comics", which was created by John L. Goldwater and Bob Montana in collaboration with Vic Bloom. It is the second animated series based on this comic strip, the first being "The Archie Show", which aired in the late 1960's. This series aired on PAX in the United States and on M6 in France from October 1999 through February 2000. Like the comics and other media adapted from it, this show revolves around a group of teenagers solving mysteries. However, it takes a more supernatural approach than other incarnations of the franchise. Thanks to a failed science experiment done in the Riverdale High physics lab,

Forgotten Cartoons Ep. 64: Trollz
Happy New Years, everyone! I can hardly believe another year has passed. Like I mentioned in my "2024 Reflection" journal where I recounted the stuff I watched the past year, I consider time flying to be a blessing and a curse. Like the past few years, I'm kicking the year off with "Forgotten Cartoons". This was requested by Towers-of-Obscure, another friend on this site. It is called "Trollz".
"Trollz" was created by Andy Heyward and produced by DIC Entertainment, and it is based on the troll dolls created by Thomas Dam. It aired in syndication on the DIC Kids Network from October through November of 2005 for only one season and 27 episodes. The show centers on the adventures of five teenaged female trolls (with gems on their belly buttons), who call themselves the Best Friends For Life (or BFFLs for short), who use magic every day to help them with their everyday life as well as battling whatever magical creatures and issues they may find themselves up against in their everyday
More Cartoon Pairings I Can't Get Into by OwenOgletree, journal
More Cartoon Pairings I Can't Get Into
Back in March of 2020, I wrote a journal where I discussed cartoon shippings that I personally don’t support at all. Here’s a link for anyone interested:
I still think the journal holds up pretty well. It's probably one of my more successful journals in terms of how many comments it has gotten. It's always an honor to get into discussions with fellow deviants.
However, there are a good number of shows I have gotten acquainted with since I wrote that journal nearly five years ago. Naturally, there are some more shippings I've liked or disliked since. How about I talk about some of those?
Like last time, this will include pairings that have and haven't happened in the actual show. I would also like to give the same disclaimer I gave last time:
DISCLAIMER: I understand that it's easy to have intense feelings about this subject, because I myself sometimes tend to be a bit sensitive about my own shipping ideas. I am not here to discourage or offend anyone who is a fan of the shippings

Forgotten Cartoons Ep. 63: Dave The Barbarian
Hey everyone, and welcome back to "Forgotten Cartoons"! Today, I'm doing a show requested by NineLivesCaveCat, one of my oldest friends on this site. She has requested quite a few of the best shows I've reviewed on FC, such as "Mr. Bogus", "James Bond Jr.", and "Road Rovers". Let's see how this one holds up. It's called "Dave The Barbarian".
"Dave The Barbarian" was created by Doug Langdale, and it aired on Disney Channel from January 2004 though January 2005 with a total of 21 episodes and 42 segments. The series takes place in the kingdom of Udrogoth during the Middle Ages. It centers on Dave, a powerful yet cowardly barbarian who lives with his fashionable yet self-centered older sister Candy and feisty younger sister Fang. His parents, Throktar and Glimia, are the King and Queen, but are away "fighting evil" across the world (though they sometimes communicate via a magic crystal ball or cauldron), and have left Candy in charge of the kingdom as Princess Regent while Dave is

Forgotten Cartoons Ep. 62: Catscratch
Hey guys. My nine-day Thanksgiving break is almost over, and I'm a bit bummed about it. However, I figured I might as well get another journal written before I have to go back to work. What better way to do it than with "Forgotten Cartoons"? Today's show was requested by not one, but two people. This is only the third time in the history of this review series that more than one person requested the same show. That is the reason why I had to review this show next. Requested by AnimationZoom and NineLivesCaveCat, the show is called "Catscratch".
"Catscratch" was created by Doug TenNapel, and it aired on Nickelodeon from July 2005 through February 2007 with a total of forty 11-minute episodes to its name. The series revolves around a trio of anthropomorphic feline brothers. After their wealthy owner Edna Cramdilly died, she left her riches to them, along with a menacing, oversized monster truck named Gear and a dignified butler named Hovis. The program commonly chronicles their wealthy

Forgotten Cartoons Ep. 61: Tutenstein
I've been away for a bit, but now I'm back for another episode of "Forgotten Cartoons"! Today's show was requested to me a few months ago by mrtman1998. It is called "Tutenstein".
"Tutenstein" is based on a comic book series by Jay Stephens. Produced by Porchlight Entertainment, it aired on Discovery Kids from November 2003 through October 2008 for a total of 39 episodes and one movie. The series features young mummy Tutankhensetamun (based on real-life Tutankhamun and usually called "Tutenstein"), who died as a young Pharoah over 3000 years ago. In the 21st century, 12-year-old middle school student Cleo Carter accidentally witnesses Tut's awakening after a bolt of lightning hits his mummified body that is on display at the local museum. Cleo with her anthropomorphic pet cat Luxor must now help Tut face the fact that his kingdom is gone and find his way around in the modern world.
Interesting how a lot of the shows I've been reviewing lately have been shows that aired on Discovery
