Submitted by Audra K

From Wikipedia:

Noozles (ふしぎなコアラ ブリンキー, Fushigi na Koara Burinkī?), also known as The Wonderous Koala Blinky, was a 26-episode anime by Nippon Animation Company that was originally released in Japan in 1984, under the title Fushigi na Koara Burinkī or Brinky and Printy. It depicts the adventures of a 12-year old girl named Sandy and her koala friends, Blinky and Pinky, who are from the extra-dimensional realm of Koalawalla Land. Noozles aired in Japan on the Fuji TV network in its original run from July to December 1984, with reruns continuing until 1987; an edited, dubbed version later aired in the United States on Nickelodeon from November 1988 through April 1993. The show usually aired at 1pm on the weekdays, immediately following another koala themed cartoon, Adventures of the Little Koala. It has been reported that the series has recently begun airing once again in Japan on AT-X.

Epic Win: Cartoon Express


Submitted by Chris

Cartoon Express was the first television block dedicated to showing nothing but cartoons and for that we give it an Epic Win. It may have started as a block of Hanna-Barbera reruns (which were epic in their own right), but eventually branched out into a diverse collection of all things cartoon.

Mummies Alive!


Submitted by WerewolfCyote

From Wikipedia:

Mummies Alive! was an animated television series from DIC Entertainment. In ancient Egypt, an evil sorcerer, Scarab, kills the pharaoh’s son, Prince Rapses, so he can use the boy’s soul to become immortal. Entombed alive for his crime (Rapses’ body was also never found), Scarab revives in the modern world and begins his search for Rapses’ reincarnation, a San Francisco-dwelling boy named Presley Carnavon. Rapses’ bodyguards, Ja-Kal, Rath, Armon, and Nefer-Tina, rise from the dead to protect him from Scarab. Each of the mummies is aligned with the power of an Egyptian god and are able to call upon it for magical armor and powers to fight superhuman evildoers, although once their strength is exhausted they must rest in their sarcophagi to regain the ability. In order to access these powers, the mummies called out the phrase “By the strength of Ra!”, which triggered their transformation. The mummies also have the power to make a horrifying face, usually employed to scare away nosy bystanders.

George Jones


From Wikipedia:

George Glenn Jones (born September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas), is an American country music singer known for his long list of hit records, his distinctive voice and phrasing, and his marriage to Tammy Wynette.

Over the past twenty years, Jones has frequently been referred to as “the greatest living country singer”.[1] The country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, “For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved.”

Throughout his long career, Jones made headlines often as much for tales of his drinking, stormy relationships with women, and violent rages as for his prolific career of making records and touring. His wild lifestyle led to Jones missing many performances, earning him the nickname “No Show Jones.” With the help of his fourth wife, Nancy, he has been sober for many years. Jones clocked up more than 150 hits during his career, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists.

Pirates! Gold


From Wikipedia:

Pirates! Gold is a 1993 computer game, a remake to Sid Meier’s 1987 release, Sid Meier’s Pirates!. MicroProse developed this 256-color version for MS-DOS, Macintosh, Mega Drive/Genesis, Amiga CD32 and Windows 3.x featuring a MIDI score and mouse support (in MS-DOS and Windows versions).

The PC versions contained a copy protection scheme similar to that employed on the 1987 Atari port. Sea, land, and sea-to-land combat were done in real-time strategy. Sun sighting was not present in this version, and there were no special items. The game did, however, include several new features.

Tom Petty


From Wikipedia:

Thomas Earl Petty (born October 20, 1950) is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and a member of Mudcrutch. He was also a member of the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys under the pseudonyms of Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. and Muddy Wilbury, and currently has a recurring role on the Fox comedy series King of the Hill.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with The Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. Likewise, his music, most notably his hits, have become increasingly popular among younger generations as he continues to host sold out shows.[1]

Petty and his band The Heartbreakers have been together since 1976 and celebrated their thirtieth anniversary with a tour in 2006, although Tom has occasionally released solo work, as is the case with 2006’s Highway Companion,[2] on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums. He has also toured with Mudcrutch in order to promote their debut album. Petty has been managed by Tony Dimitriades since 1976.[3] On February 3, 2008, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at the Super Bowl XLII Halftime show.[4]
