There was one I used to watch as a kid in the 80s. Not sure what channel it was one, Nickelodeon maybe. But there was a store, and at night, the mannequin would come to life (he was a dude who wore a hat). There was also a female rat that was a character, and possibly other rats. It pops into my head sometimes, and I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. I think I've even asked about it on here before, and didn't get much luck.

Only one on the list I used to watch but almost completely forgot about. This show kicked all kinds of arse when I was 3 or 4.

I'm not sure. The wuzzles and dumbo's circus were two that used to do the same thing to me. A scene would pop in my head but I never could remember it.

I still have one more show like that. Every now and then this scene of a character (not human or animal, some made up characters out of fraggle rock but not fraggle rock), is trying to climb down some slippery slope to get a soap rock that grows on the slope. wierd as hell but i need to find out one day.

Gigantor was big when I was very young, and then fell off the map until the Anime craze of the past 15 years.

Obscure Abbot & Costello rip-off Mac and Mire for Hire. Shorts like the three stooges that ran on kids shows in the 60's.

I don't think these had some all encompassing title. They were basically Disney's version of the old Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, etc., cartoons which had the same opening screens.

maybe it wasn't nintendo, but i thought it revolved around video games. It was these two guys with long hair and ripped jeans (reminds me of wayne's world when I think back)

I liked watching the Rocky and Bullwinkle in the morning before going to school while eating my Count Chocula. lol
I also used to like Go Go Gophers, and Major McBragg from the Under Dog show.

I also remember this cartoon with a turtle, and someone would say something like
“Twizzle Twazzle Twozzle Twome time for this one to go home” at the end of it.
Maybe it was Mr. Wizard or something like that.

Cocomo, that show was called "Today's Special" it used to come on after Pinwheel and before Danger Mouse and Inspector Gadget on Nick in the 80's.

I used to watch all those shows, as soon as the newsboy hat was put on the mannequin he came to life.
