We all remember Doug. The loveable rogue who desperately tried to get the girl and failed (some say he shot himself in the end, these reports are of course unconfirmed !). Who would begrudge the Tintin-a-like character and his dog Porkchop their moment of glory the one last time?

And now into the slightly distrubing world of Ren and Stimpy. The joyous duo providing a weird and wonderful insight into .. God knows what. Walrus anyone ?
Ah. Or should I say AHHHH! Real Monsters which first hit the screen mid 90s terrorised my early channel 4 viewing. It was a worrying thought that I would be rudely interupted while I was relieving myself by a unsightly monster.
Needless to say, it never happened.
I remember having a toy for most of the characters for this and I'm not embarrassed to say I still play with them every now and again. Oh yes I do. I still dream of making out with Cheetara.
Check the pecks!
I don't know what made him cool. Was it the blonde hair ? The massive muscles ? Or the blissfull ignorance of Johnny that everyone thought he was well.. a bit of a knob?
Maybe it was all these things. Who knows? This Elvis soundalike was brilliant.
And of course a notable mention to the below
- catdog
- pinky and the brain
- rocko's modern life
Ah, memories of the 90s.
