Characters you used to get a b*ner over as a kid

[The Un-Clit]

Thanks, but those aren't it. USA thing doesn't apply to me, tho, maybe mine weren't canadian, but euro toon of some kind?
I think I could have watched it not on tv, but in a preschool, they showed us quite a lot of crap we never got on tv, like Spartacus And The Sun Beneath The Sea.

Ah well. By coincidence that episode of Rocket Robin Hood I linked had a main villian "The Warlord of Saturn" Who totally looked like Fu Manchu.

Hope you find it. I know how annoying it can be when trying to find something from your childhood that you used to see on tv but is fairly obscure now.

I just found what I originally wanted to post in this specific thread. Guy on the left on

Spoiler: this thing

It is a box that used to have candy "gift" in it - idk if other countries do that? But here in Russia, a lot of New Year/Christmas themed kiddie shows that pop up around December give out a pretty box with candy to everyone with ticket. In soviet times, it often was the only time people even got that stuff, so it is a pretty pointless tradition, and sweets in a "gift" tend to suck nowadays...but people love it anyway. Boxes themselves vary, but they are often sturdy and reusable, I had plenty left over from my relatives' childhoods, including plastic one shaped like clock about to strike 12, which we kept chess in cause it had an asstastically tight lid that could not be opened by a kid, so I had it around as a toy of sorts.
This one is metal, and from one of the "fir-trees" (as these shows tend to be collectively called) I was to myself.

Supposed to be herr Drosselmeyer, obviously.

I would say Totally Spies, the Winx Club and Zoey 101 gave me boners

Y'all need Jesus.

Getting a boner over Jesus would be gay, though.

There was a very strange irish-fantasy version of the Power Rangers called "The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog" which had a female princess character that could hang with the boys and talk back and didn't take shit.
Her and Morticia Addams with a fencing sword / knife (because for some reason I happened to see reruns of very very old shows on some weird european channels) royally screwed little Bloitzhole's bonerbrain forever.

There's nothing gay about this whatsoever.

RIP you beautiful bastard

...and Morticia Addams with a fencing sword / knife

Not gonna lie; I think that Morticia and Gomez had some of the most amazing chemistry of any TV couple, let alone a family sitcom of the 1960s.

I wonder how much of the appeal of that series was just seeing a couple who were so obviously in love.

Not to derail the thread too hard, but that relationship dynamic was incredibly modern for the time. There's an episode in which Gomez briefly loses all his cash and sinks into a bit of a rut. As such, Morticia gets a job and becomes the breadwinner while Gomez spends more time with his kids, and it is all very natural and the question of whether it's "acceptable" so to speak for a father and mother to switch roles like that is never in any way raised. Is is considered a given, in a functioning relationship - and I thought that was rather beautiful.
Even though it had a very over-the-top romance in Gomez's treatment of his wife, it never felt inorganic - and that's hard to pull off.

Now back to kiddie boners. Wait no, that came out wrong.

Now that post went all the way from "TV watcher" to "TV producer" with no stops in between.
