| | Cobra Viper Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: El Paso Posts: 488 | I think Revenge of Cobra had the best animation, but I liked the sound effects better in the first mini series [actual gunfire sounds]. Revenge of Cobra also introduced my favorite characters.
Those of you who grew up in the Chicago area -- did they introduce the GI Joe cartoons through WGN/Channel 9's "The Bozo Show" ? I'm sure that's how I remember it... |

I'm sure that's how I remember it... | Yup the old WGN...it had Transformers and G.I.*JOE...I remember getting up at 6:30am in the morning just to record the cartoons on the Classic Bozo show.
It was sweet.
My favorite 5-part series was the first mini-series!!!! | |

The pared-down cast (on both sides) and use of characters that I'd first seen in the weekly black & white "Action Force" comic makes watching it a very warm & rewarding experience.

I watched the cartoon in the morning before school on WGN "Bozo" and after school on Fox.
I have a copy of the entire Gi Joe cartoon collection that was released by Rhino on dvd+/- format. Anybody wanting to buy can let me know. | |

| | The Last Gunslinger Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Chino Hills, CA Posts: 2,074 | I'm all for the first mini-series. At the time I had a few Joes, but never saw the comics. Everything I knew about them was contained in their file cards. I remember racing home from school each day to see the next episode. And I remember believing (wrongly) that the initial series was more dramatic, more realistic, and more violent than the later cartoons.

I think it was on a Friday night. I say this because I remember staying the night at a friends house and we had our Joes together and sat around watching it. Does anyone else remember this being true? I do remember seeing it in seperate episodes after school, but I swear it was release as one whole movie at first. Anyone? | |
