The MIB cartoon had a recurring human villain that would steal alien body parts and graft them onto himself, making him more grotesque every time he appeared. It was pretty rad.

A lot of things in this thread aged poorly over the years and decades. My friend is currently packing his boxes for a move and sent me a photo of a piece of media that he recorded that turned sour within 24 hours of it airing.

Mighty Max was awesome, and the ending blew my 11-year-old mind. I remember liking King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, the cartoon where a high school football team goes back in time to take the place of King Arthur and his knights, and use their enchanted armor for poo poo. No clue how that's aged

I only vaguely remember Mighty Max, but I keep mistaking it for Fantastic Max, which was about a baby who went on adventures with a robot butler thing (maybe?). I don't know why that show stuck with me over any of the good ones (like apparently Mighty Max), and I'm just not getting why anyone would be reminiscing (fondly!) about a dumb actually-for-younger-children cartoon with the catchphrase "dirty diapers!" Apparently, nobody is doing that except me, now.  Speaking of cartoons that are probably terrible, I had a soft spot for BraveStarr (cowboys in space or on a futuristic-but-old-West-themed planet or something) and SilverHawks (flying people in space, and one of the guys had a guitar that shot lasers when he played it). I don't remember much about the actual shows or characters other than the titular characters were obviously the heroes, and they had a cast of villains to fight. I do remember watching them a lot when I was a kid, though, alongside the usual He-Man, Thundercats, Voltron, and Transformers. I was so disappointed when I got a Voltron set for Christmas one year and it was the vehicle one instead of the lion one. It had like 30 vehicles (it was probably only like 12 or something, but it seemed like a lot more) that could combine in a few different ways, not just the big robot form, but it wasn't really Voltron, y'know?

I only remember a few bits and pieces, one episode about a race in the asteroid belt and the very first episode, especially the end when they think Watson's been destroyed. I might be wrong about it being considered educational, but I swear I remember seeing it flanked by definitely educational shows. Weren't there a lot of weird shenanigans around getting the E/I label onto shows that probably shouldn't have had them?

In 1995 (first thing I could find on the topic), the FCC defined E/I programming as “programming that furthers the positive development of children 16 years of age and under in any respect, including the child's intellectual/cognitive or social/emotional needs.” So if your Sherlock Holmes in space show regularly had a message like “being a friend is good” or “stealing is bad”, you could probably get away with claiming it’s E/I programming. It didn’t have to be Mr. Wizard or something. Frankly, I’m amazed they didn’t syndicate GI Joe with the PSAs edited in and claim them to fulfill E/I requirements.

There was some early 90s cartoon show that I used to watch, the only thing I remember about it at all was one episode had the "man in a dress to trick the male protagonist" garbage that was so prevalent back then. The thing that got seared into my brain is the use of the word "sexy" in the show. I remember absolutely nothing else about it. Just being shocked at the use of the word by the villain to describe how he was going to fool the main character by dressing like a woman. I don't remember the name of the show, the characters, any other episodes. It was not Johnny Bravo though, this predates that by a lot.

On use of the word "Sexy". It was banned in India for the longest time by their ultra conservative censors. If I remember rightly, it was only allowed to be said on screen, (and even then only by the male protagonist) in approx 2010. Once it was allowed, the first film after the ban was lifted went hog wild having the protagonist sing a song where he described several things as being "sexy" including but not restricted to: his shoes, his shirt, his car, the sun, that tree over there, his family home, and his mum. And the Bollywood dance cliche where the boy and the girl run towards each other and then turn away, that is because kissing on screen also wasn't allowed long into the 2000s. Certain productions would get in trouble for allowing the young lovers to get too close to each other. My dad tells me that things were better in the 60s and 70s, (of course they were dad), when the censorship was just as, and more so draconian as it is now. But the writers would 'cleverly' put in allusions in their songs like "You gave me a gift in the bedroom, so I gave you a gift in the nursery" as subtle hints that the now married couple from the film had sex. But then again, these 60s Tamil films had 47 year old MGR playing a college student alongside a 19 year old actress as his love interest, and they would both sing songs to each other overdubbed with two different voices.

Bravestarr is notable for its hero being Native American. I caught some of a movie version on a random streaming channel, it was apparently done after the series but served as a prequel and is actually kinda neat, loaded with goofy ideas and oddly progressive in some ways. It also very clearly was done by some of the people who worked on Heavy Metal because the art direction is very close, and even the main female character looks kinda like the women in that film (but with more clothes.)

You got multiple holograms, a bunch of helmets and accessories, and they were like a scaled up GI Joe in terms of construction. I always thought GI Joes were disappointingly small, so that was a good selling point for me. I also liked that my grandpa taught me how to fix that style of broken action figure legs by unscrewing the torso and replacing the O-ring with a fresh one
