A company is producing 4" Bucky O'Hare figures, suggesting it's making a comeback (for those of us who remember it). I'd no idea it was from the 70s and a comic, assumed it was a TMNT rip-off cartoon.

Loved Bucky O'Hare, more for the awesome intro than the actual cartoon. Lusted after the toys even though we couldn't afford them. IIRC it was a star wars rip-off and certainly it didn't have any connotations with TMNT.

EDIT: What's scary is that after typing this post, the theme tune went through my head and I recalled every single word of it! :shock:

It was the use of animal characters that made me think TMNT cos everybody was at it in the 90s, Biker Mice, Samurai Pizza Cats, Street Sharks...

I guess you prefer cartoon sh1te then rather than a TV series shooting in 117 locations across 40 countries with an epic 2089 days on the road? :roll:

I've started watching The Flash.
It started better than the Arrow TV show did - I abandoned that after episode six.

Go back to Arrow, it got a lot better, trust me. I agree, the first five episodes were dire! They usually struggle with these shows for some bloody reason - SHIELD was [LIFTED] for half a season!

Planet Earth II - sodding brilliant.

I may actually have cheered when the iguana escaped.

God, me too! No one does nature like Attenborough and the BBC, I was on the edge of my seat willing that little fcuker on.

I'll finish The Flash first before I think about picking up Arrow again.

Forget the lot and go back to Offspring! I'm on the 5th season now. Highly addictive.

So, not something for anyone with fear of snakes to watch :shock:
They were boiling up out of the rocks! I assume racer snakes aren't venomous.

Cracking TV.

Looked like they were constrictors to me. Bite the prey to latch on and then wrap around. When that iguana was basically standing stock still and the snake slithered past it.. I'd have been pooing my iguana pants.

Gary Lineker, once again the voice of sanity. Apparently also #teamiguana was trending.

Most definitely constrictors. The lizard that got away was bitten a number of times by the look of it and seemed to be fine (presumably once it had calmed the [LIFTED] down after it's mad dash anyway).
