I need to find some more video but I think this may be it.

Hot dog I found it. It is called the Mighty Orbots.

Now if I could just find the one with the Army men coming to life, I can finally sleep at night.
Come on guys, I can't be the only one to remember this. Dig into those noggins.

LMAO!!! I've DEF never seen that... maybe its bc its from the "Anime Bargain Bin"... then again maybe its a South Carolina thing!

wow, i think i actually remember that show. i dont think it aired long but i remember seeing it a few times. sometimes vintage tv is just as much fun as vintage r/c.

I use to love that cartoon. Still do I guess. I am surprised I found it but I still can't find the other. One of my office pals seems to remember the glowing red light bulb swinging in a dark room having something to do with the Tale of the Outer Limits being remade in the 80s but I can only find the original and the late 90's revision.

Still looking though. I did find one that looks cool and is based on a similar theme. It is part of Steven Kings "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" and is called Battlefield. I seem to recall reading something years ago from him that was similar. Part of a collection called Gray Matter or something like that.

What was the name of that cartoon where them guys were floatin around in space on an old Navy Destroyer with the huge cannon hole in the front of the hull?

Came on right before Voltron...

Anybody remember the name of Dick Dastardly's dog???
















Muttley

the cartoon with the navy destroyer in space was "star blazers"

I went through them all and unfortunately it was not there. This show would have been earlier, maybe 81-83ish. Thanks for the link though. Those look like good flicks.

Welcome to the board by the way.

I finally found the show I am looking for. After 10 plus years of this burning in the back of my mind, I can finally sleep at night.
The show was called "Darkroom" and aired from '81-'82

I did have a host which I thought it did not. The host was James Coburn. The show was 60 minutes long and ran for 16 episodes. The particular episode I am looking for is called "Siege of 31 August"

It is a tale of a Vietnam vet who is attacked by his sons toy soldiers. I am sure it looks like crap by todays standards. But I gotta find the video.
