    There no way anyone is going to figure this out but its driving me nuts.

    There's this cartoon I use to watch as a kid (uh..around 1982 I'm guessing, but could have been made in the 60s or 70s).

    Anyway... There are two kids (a boy and a girl) who time travel using some kind of gold/yellow? ship. The ship might look like a giant clock or a cross between a giant clock and a helicopter. Then again maybe not. The kids might be from the future or the ship is from the future.

    I remember in one episode the girl got magic/futuristic? shoes with little wings on them to help her win a track race. I think the moral was she wasn't supposed to cheat using them.

    Uh, that's about all I remember.

    Hmm.

    I've been trying to figure this one out but I'm not getting the right sort of hits when I web search.

    But I'm sure there IS some info on it out there. Even if it is just a blurb.

    You might try wading through this. I'd do it, but you know more about what you're looking for than I do.

    BTW, anyone remember a stop motion series that ran on nickelodeon where everyone's head was a big hat ? There was a donkey and carrot involved too.

    Holy crap its 2 in the morning and my eyes are bleeding but I actually found it!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_Billy

    Sport Billy? WTF? No wonder I couldn't remember that show. I still don't remember it being called sport billy.

    edit - btw I can't believe I actually nailed the EXACT year I saw this in the first post. 1982. Man I'm good.

    Anyone remember Buck O'Hare?

    Pirates Of Dark Water?

    Two obscure, short-lived cartoons from the 90s that I really enjoyed.

    It seems like I watched it on Nick back in the day too but I can't remember the name either. Hell, I don't even remember what they did or anything. Back then, I just watched the one with the green slime on Nick and the Dukes of Hazzard......I was totally in love with the blonde.

    AH HA!

    I found the Hats thing too!
    Man was it hard! I looked forever.

    It was called "Hattytown Tales" and ran as part of Pinwheel on Nickelodeon. It ran alongside Picture Page, Simon in the land of chalk, etc. It was so damn hard to find because wikipedia doesn't list it under the shows that ran on Nick, its listed as a show that ran under Pinwheel (which itself was 5 hours long).

    I don't know what you are talking about, but I remember that Alex Mack always, yes always, always wears a hat.

    Pirates of Dark water ROCKED!!! :cool:


    Back in the 90's I managed to record almost every episode that Cartoon Network ever aired!

    From reading on some website a few years ago, I learned that some toy company actually made dolls of each of the main characters....all except Tula!


    Why she was left out to this day remains a total mystery!

    If it doesn't have a rabbit or a rooster in it, it's not a cartoon.

    I can live with that, if you can tell me the name of the live action show that also had hats.

    Oh, that and you must know who Billy Van was.
