this thread is about the 1986 animated movie, not the live action movie trilogy from Michael Bay. Anyways, today is the 25th anniversary of The Transformers: The Movie.
Here's the clip from the movie:

I was -3 when it came out (I wasn't born back then)
-
I remember when it came out. I couldn't wait to see all my favorite Autobots and Decepticons up on the big screen, for an entire movie.
So much for that idea.... (http://www.outpostnine.com/editorials/source.html)

I was roughly +4 years of age. Never was big on Transformers. Although I'd like to say I saw some though. I guess whatever I found on t.v.
I guess what I found was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; Dark Wing Duck; Chip & Dale (the clean cartoon one ;)), Duck Tales; Tailspin. probably a few others, Heathcliff on occasion.
there was some other one; barn living. a pig; a duck; few others I am sure, little chicks.
I only remember the one episode where I think it was the duck that went all crazy because the tag was removed from the mattress.
I don't know if this was part of Garfield and Friends or not.

You're thinking of U.S. Acres (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Acres) which was later combined in Garfield and Friends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfield_and_Friends). Both original comics were creations by Jim Davis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Davis_(cartoonist)).
-
thank you. you're good.
-
Not really, I just used to watch it. In those days, Garfield was still funny and U.S. Acres was just more of that brand of humor.
-
you seem to have an answer to just about every question I throw out there.
If you know how to get 'Solarwolf' to run on the iMac, i would personally crown you king.
They say it's available for mac, but maybe the older version/edition of mac.
-
I remember Garfield and Friends, I used to be up at the crack of dawn to watch that and many other shows on Saturday mornings.
Man, have times changed. Now I could care less about what airs on TV during Saturday mornings. All the shows have gotten lame. :'(
-
I don't really even care to watch tv anymore. year or two ago, it use to be some things on TruTV, some on I think History or Discovery. I just knew the channel, that or channel surfing.
Use to record americas funniest videos.
now; just Jay Leno. That's it. nothing else.

TV these days isn't very great, but I'll sit down and watch an episode of some show or two here and there. For a while, Star Trek: TOS was available on one of those channels that shows old tv shows but it got removed from the lineup, but there's still several episodes of TNG a night, which I'll watch, and Syfy likes their star trek movie marathons. Modern cartoons suck, but every once in a while they'll show episodes of the old good cartoons. I kinda miss Garfield and Friends after all these years, somehow the CG Garfield show just isn't doing it for me.
-
Apparently SyFy has gone down the plughole. They say it's all wrestling and 'reality' 'paranormal investigator' shows.
I can't say myself because I don't have Sky or Cable but they've canned their fair share of great sci-fis. Farscape for instance and Firefly are the two that spring to mind. Some people would complain about them axeing StarGate SG1 etc but I don't think that much of a tragedy.
TNG is a cracking series because it does away with so much BS. There's hardly any romance or even friendship between the crew. It's just a question of "here we have this massive problem and a big, shiny ship. Now how are we gonna go and solve it this week?". If they coulda done without Wesley and Troi it would have been perfect.
I gather that's coming out on BluRay next year because they're redoing all the effects in CGI because the post-production was only done on low-resolution videotape. That's why the first seasons look so ghastly on a modern big TV.
-
I googled TNG, I got Star Trek: The New Generation.
I remember my dad buying this two episode DVD; one being "Nomad". That was good. I believe that's more of the original and not this TNG.
-

Yes, this is quite true. I only watch the channel because every once in a while they'll show something actually interesting, like a Star Trek movie marathon and as I recall, Doctor Who reruns. Other than that, I don't bother with SyFy anymore.
Yeah, TNG is Star Trek: The Next Generation. While I watch TOS more (mostly because every episode of TOS (except The Cage) is legally viewable online thanks to CBS), TNG is still a decent show.
-
I think it was because my uncle was over; but we saw a few minutes of wrestling. All I can remember is this father (im assuming) talking to his wife; and his son was with him. it was like some soap opera.
I don't get into wrestling. but let's keep guy shows the same; guy shows. keep girl shows the same.
but I guess some guys get into that. I know someone that does, and that Tyra Banks also.
-

That's not sexist at all.

You're trying to run this program (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12940)?

I don't know if you've already been to this.

I get ALL of my Star Trek: TOS, TNG, Voyager, and Enterprise via Netflix through their 'Instant View' (view online). DS9 is only on disc... still.
I've been re-watching TOS and enjoying it. I brought up TNG the other day and browsed to see what episodes I felt like watching... and didn't pick very many. TOS has a lot of replay value, TNG not so much (IMHO).

Tbh you should try your local library. My local library chain has pretty much every sci-fi series ever conceived on DVD. There are a few disks that have some flaws but they generally work fine.

thanks, but I get the same results. I went to start the game, and it won't open. Similar to Linux; in terms that you click on something, it shows it on the panel and then within a second or two, disappears from the panel. no error messages, no nothing.
-
never got into Star Trek, but to be fair, I guess I never gave it a fair shot. Maybe the classics were good. The other ones; heh.
But, like I said; didn't really give it a fair shot.
-
When it comes to Star Trek, it all comes down to the person and their opinions. Some like some shows more than others. For instance, I like TOS and Voyager better than the other Trek series, but others like shows like, say, TNG and DS9 more, which is fine. Then there are few that never got into it at all, which is also okay.
@IHateHackers: I like the sound of your local library. Unfortunately, our local library isn't nearly as diverse, though it recently got a much needed expansion, and they've been working hard to fill up that extra space with new stuff, so maybe someday... :)
-
Hmm, perhaps I should check out Netflix's Instant View service, but of course, when I mentioned every episode of Star Trek: TOS being legally online, I meant for free, of course :P (it's ad-sponsored), and I'm not sure about the Netflix service you mentioned, but then again I never checked :P
-
You have to pay for the Netflix service (not much, IMO), but there are no ads, and good quality video (assuming your Internet speed is better than crap).
-
I'm assuming it's a national thing, one can pay for netflix, I think $8 a month; and have up to 6 accounts on it. 5 or 6. not bad. if each paid for the service; it's just a little over $1 a month

Is your local library not part of a chain?
-
If you mean that it can borrow books from other libraries in the area, then yes, but last time I checked, that didn't expand the list of choices that significantly.
