LOL...you could be right. Both girls seemed to have a gleam in they're eyes when they looked at the Professor.

He may not have been too bothered about botched rescue attempts because he might have been secretly working on plans to take over the world from there.

The 80s had so many cool shows and stuff even the Muppet show was pretty cool.

Cartoon wise its hard to beat

Transformers - Autobots suck, Starscream rules

I was a kid but I remember some:

1. Dukes of Hazard
2. The Love Boat (my parents used to watch it, I liked the theme)
3. The Muppet Show
4. Fruggle Rock (I don't know if I spell it correctly. It was a series like the Muppet Show)
5. The Benny Hill Show (awesome!! I loved it when Benny got chased or hitting the old bald man on the head!)

definitely the Muppet Show! Starsky & Hutch (although I didn't really get it back then, too young, just loved the car.) and The A-Team all stick out in my mind.

Also a big mention to all cartoons, big sucker for them, even now from Bugs to Dexters Lab to South Park ya just gotta love them.

Does anyone remember the name of a cartoon that was about 5-6 robots that some teenage genius had built and each robot had a different skill, all were self-willed, and when he needed them to, they could join and form one giant robot that he would fly up inside and control? I have been trying to figure this out for years.

The name of the show was:
THE MIGHTY ORBOTS,
it came out around the same time as another cartoon, TURBO TEEN: about a kid who could turn back & forth into a Trans Am Depending on how hot got: he got hot turned into a car, he got cold he turned back into a person.

Also there was POLE POSITION, 2 race Cars with AI, one looked like a Mustang, had a driver named Tess
