No idea what that is.

 

Some Spanish environmental propaganda before Captain Planet was a thing based on a children's book series called The Secret Book of Gnomes. Basically a slice of life series about gnome veterinarian. There was an English language version released in the US back in the mid-80s on VHS and maybe aired on Nickelodeon in the mid-late 80s.

Well I've definitely seen that little guy lol! Never knew he had a show.

 

This show was a trip for young me. Especially the ending where...

 

Spoiler

...he and his wife fucking die. Like, they realize they're too old to keep on living so they just commit gnome euthanasia and turn themselves into trees. All the little forest animals crying and mourning his death was cool.

 

This is one of those obviously not made for American audiences TV series. It wasn't a series cleaning designed for little boys or girls or to sell toys.

Nope... as far as non action 80's cartoons I liked there was always Muppet Babbies

 

 

Inspector Gadget

 

 

and who could forget the Carebears?

 

 

or the Gummi Bears?

 

 

 

None of those are underrated, though.

 

Actually, I'm fairly certain Gummi Bears was just Disney flexing. Wasn't that Disney's first or second animated TV series? The quality of the animation in Gummi Bears is ridiculous for a Saturday morning cartoon compared to most anything else you'd find in the mid-80s.

Fair enough... Disney was definitely showing their asses with Gummi Bears :lol:

I remember David the Gnome.

 

Anyone remember Belle and Sebastian? I think they were both on in the early days of Nickelodeon.

 

 

 

Now there's a repressed memory I didn't know I had. I don't think I watched Bell and Sebastian regularly. There wasn't a whole lot I watched on Nickelodeon in it's really days.

All the underrated 80s cartoons weren't all action series. Case in point, I can't be the only kid that watched David the Gnome.

 

never heard of it...

that being said it was only recently that I became aware that there was a Dukes of Hazzard cartoon..
