I was one of the many kids in the early ’80’s who rushed home after school to watch Transformers and GI Joe. As an adult it’s interesting to watch these again and try to remember what all the fuss was about. And more importantly to meet that little kid again whose reactions are still there.
This article to describes the run of GI Joe and a little Transformers. And my futile comment to the censers of the past it refers to at the end of the article: Very short years after watching this cartoon we were required by the public school system to read much more very disturbing stuff written by much more disturbed individuals than 1980’s GI Joe. Can you say Edgar Alan Poe, George Orwell, Lady Chavelies Lover, Wuthering Heights, The Old Man and the Sea?
