The Many MANY Intros Of The Transformers (G1 US)

Premiering in 1984 with a three episode miniseries, The Transformers went on to become one of the cartoons of the 1980s, lasting three original seasons, a three episode miniseries finale (it ended as it started), and two rerun seasons. At least in the US, but I’ll get more into Japan next time. Between the two countries there have been many Transformers cartoons, and for the next I don’t know how many Fridays I’ll be looking into the intros for all of them. There are a lot of them, more than Superman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman–possibly combined but I haven’t done the math. Those “Many Intro” articles took one or two parts, but this is going have a lot of them.

And my apologies for those of you on slower connections for most of these installments, including tonight’s. Even with the smaller groupings this is going to take a while to load. I considered doing separate pages but how many times do you want to reload my host’s advertisements? Granted they could use the money even if I don’t get any of it (still hoping for advice on the Patreon rewards…I need a moment to redo that) but I think this is the easier option. Load it once and get on with it. Just for the US run we have six intros…seven if you count the addition of Transformers: Generation Two, which was just reruns anyway and where else am I going to put it? So let’s get on with this.

The Golden Girls premiered in1985 and ended in 1992, and was about four senior citizens. So how is it that even teenagers in 2019 are drawn to this show? Maybe this article by Hidden Remote (a Fansided site) contributor Rebecca Mills can figure it out.

BW’s Morning Article Link: Happy Little Bob Ross Art Display

Not a Bob Ross painting but I don’t actually have one in my library.

Years after his death Bob Ross’s painting show somehow manages to have a continued following thanks to the internet. (Admittedly I didn’t watch the show. I’m more into drawing than painting.) And now fans will have a chance to see some of his work in person at an exhibition in Virginia.
