I sort of remember that show.

*crawls out from the mountian of homework* The....WHAT?

*That Matt Guy* · 11-26-2003, 01:13 PM

It was a cartoon that came on in the 80s.

Like it? I love that show! I actually have all the episodes, and specials, on tape...

The main reason I like it is for the music, that had some awesome music. The "Run With Us" theme song is a pretty incredible piece of music to have been used for an 80s cartoon but pretty much all the songs were awesome. I always liked the main singer for the show, Lisa Lougheed. She put out a couple of really great dance music albums in the early 90s (then sadly vanished off the face of the Earth never to be heard from again) and I have them.

It was a good show, nice to see someone else who remembers it.

Woah, you remember a lot about it. I just remember a racoon that wore a red sweater all of the time.

*ZariusTwo* · 11-26-2003, 04:39 PM

OH MY GOD!

THE RACOONS RULED, THEY WERE GREAT

Oh and if osme of you have no clue what it is, here are some inages

The main character was BURT RACOON, who was the Racoon wearing the Sweater, a TOTAL goof-ball.

The villian was CYRIL SNEER, a tycoon millionarie who wanted to tear down the Ever-Green Forest, his son, CEDRIC, befriended the Racoons

The cartoon also had one of THE GREATEST THEME SONGS EVER

When darkness falls,
Leaving shadows in the night,
Don't be afraid,
Wipe that fear from your eyes.
The desperate love,
Keeps on driving you wrong,
Don't be afraid,
You're not alone.

Chorus
You can run with us,
We've got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.

When the cold wind blows,
Turn your cover to the cold,
Don't be ashamed,
If you need someone to hold.
If you're sinking in quicksand,
And it's dragging you down,
And you feel you're going under,
We'll be around.

Chorus
You can run with us,
We've got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.

Short instrumental break

And you're behind closed doors,
All alone by yourself,
And you're longing inside,
To be somebody else.
You pick up the telephone,
And there's no one on the line,
Don't be afraid,
'Cause there's still time.

Chorus
You can run with us,
We've got everything you need,
Run with us,
We are free.
Come with us,
I see passion in your eyes,
Run with us.

Repeat Chorus

Run with us.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-26-2003, 04:45 PM

those things do look very familiar, and i think i hated them

*ZariusTwo* · 11-26-2003, 04:49 PM

You can hate on them all you want, this show's writing and characters ruled

Relay · 11-26-2003, 04:50 PM

I had to look it up to make sure I was thinking of the same show you are. Yeah, it came on the Disney Channel way back in the 1980s. These raccoons lived in a tree and ran a newspaper. They always had these adventures and stuff. They had a friend that looked like a pink Gonzo whose dad was evil and caused a lot of trouble. Man, I haven't thought about that show in forever. I can't believe there are other people that used to watch that show. I just listened to the theme song. It all came back after hearing that. Wow. Thanks guys.

*Voltron* · 11-26-2003, 04:58 PM

and the theme song is so sweet it gives you diabetes

~~Reznorite420~~ · 11-26-2003, 05:57 PM

Yeah, I saw it back in the day as well, I just didn't remember what it was called or how the song went to it, but thanks to this thread I've rediscovered a lost childhood memory.

**GK Punk** · 11-26-2003, 06:12 PM

I barely remember it but it has racoons in it, so it's OK with me.

*Mars-Chan* · 11-27-2003, 04:55 PM

Ah...I see. The only thing I remember was TMNT.
