very cute ^__^

Thanks!!

I've never seen nor heard of Kissyfur, until I started watching your art. I'm assuming it's on cable TV, which I had to drop years ago, due to the cost. I asked a couple fur friends who have cable, and they said that they never heard of it either. Maybe it's only on in some areas? You draw the white rabbit to be so super incredibly cute. Looks like I'll be doing some google searching after I'm done with FA in a bit...

Kissyfur*SAD* is not in cable anymore. But you can watch episodes in youtube.com under "Kissyfur". The dvd's made by some fans are available in www.sell.com at very cheap prices.The bunny name is Beehonie, Kissyfur's love interest!. Kissyfur is about a 8 years old cub whose mother die in a circus performance and his dad decided to leave the circus until they found their freedome and peace in the swamp along with other friends and some enemies. If you see the show is the most cutes one ever! Thanks my friend, hope this help!!

I was able to find some info about it from tv.com and from the Big Cartoon DataBase. It appears that it aired right after I graduated from college. I have know idea how I never heard of it, considering that it was on NBC. Perhaps if it was on at 6:00 AM, or something, I would never have discovered it. I can't believe I never even saw an ad for it at the time.

At least I didn't miss Capitol Critters, which came out in 1992. That only lasted for one season, but was among my favorite toons with cute characters.

Great search! Thanks!!

Depends on where you were around me Kissyfur came on at 8. there was 2 full seasons NBC showed it for a few more seasons but moved it around. Its interesting because the premiere episode was shown as a primetime special when it came out.. There was a few VHS tapes of it released with a couple of eposides each on them.

Yeah, the old good times!!!!!

I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, which used to be on the three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC, from early morning until around 1:00 PM or later. After that, they switched over to sports, and kids went outside to play. The networks used to compete over which could attract the most kids, and seemed to actually put money and time into what they did. There was no such thing as FOX. There were no computers, game consoles or cell phones. It was just three channels, but, we had our dose of good cartoons each week. Cartoons were truly at their best in the '60s and '70s. Each had a plot, and generally took a half hour to work through. Some even continued stories into successive weeks. The '80s weren't bad either. By the '90s, they were down to only a handful of good new creations. Now most things are made from the Dora the Explorer style template - a show that is designed to prevent kids from thinking for themselves by asking questions and then giving them the "right" answers only five seconds later! So many are copying that. It's like a bad computer game that doesn't give kids a chance to lose, and it severely funnels their thinking. The magic of imagination is missing. Swiper the fox sure is cute though!

Now they hardly even play cartoons on over-the-air TV at all. Weekend mornings are mostly infomercials, exercise shows, and religious or political shows. People tell me that most of the toons moved to cable, but the last time I saw a free cable preview, I didn't see much. Even the Disney channel had dropped their toons! I looked at Toon Disney then, hoping to perhaps see TaleSpin reruns, the Gummi Bears, or even classic Mickey Mouse. I tried Cartoon Network, only to find that most of what they carried lacked plot or story, or was so badly made that it wasn't fun to watch. Then, they repeated the same episodes as much as four times in the course of few days I got to see it! I just got a sinking feeling in my stomach. Everything I was seeing seemed empty of both quality and imagination. Then someone tells me all the good toons moved to premium "digital" cable. I guess they want fans to chase after their toons at *any* cost, but there seems to be no magic place where they can all be found. Only a time machine can fix that.

Yeah, I hear that. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and noticed the trend of cartoons changing and disappearing altogether. I remember getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. It used to be where you could only see cartoons in the mornings and weekday afternoons. Now you can see them almost anytime on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Though Boomerang has more of the classics now. Cartoon Network has started showing live action shows, which sucks. Nickelodeon shows cartoons sometimes, but they aren't as good as they used to be. Spongebob is the only one worth watching really. I've been finding old cartoons online and watching those instead. A lot are on Youtube and elsewhere. Disney does show cartoons most mornings, before Play House Disney comes on, which is the preschooler's programming. Before that they show stuff like Lilo & Stitch the series and Phineas and Pherb, which are about the only two worth mentioning. Even Toon Disney changed to Disney XD and now has more live action shows on it. But I think they still show the classic stuff as well. I don't have digital cable, so I'm not sure. Its a shame those channels are only on digital and satellite. I could do without a lot of these other channels in favor of those.

Disney is on regular cable here, but at $60 a month, it's not worth it. When they did the free preview, it was all live action comedies, mostly aimed at 10 to 15 year old girls. If they had any toons, it was probably while I was sleeping!

I liked Lilo & Stitch the movie, and also the one episode of the series that I ever saw. I never saw Phineas and Pherb. U remember several years ago when I got to see some episodes of Goof Troop, as well as Timon and Pumbaa. I liked those. Neither was one during the last preview they had.

I'd love to see Chip and Dale, TaleSpin, Gummi Bears, The original Welcome to Pooh Corner, and the Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Reruns of the Wonderful World of Disney, The original Mickey Mouse Club, all the thousands of Disney short cartoons, and most any movies they made prior to 1990. That's a large part of what made Disney great, but they seem to have abandoned what worked so well. Warner Brothers appears to have done the same. I grew up enjoying Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester, etc. Then the Tiny Tunes came out, and I enjoyed Buster, Babs and Plucky, then the Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain. I miss it all. The local stations around here don't play cartoons on the weekdays at all like the used to. There might be one or two on the weekends, but generally something with the E/I in the upper corner, and so politically correct that kids aren't interested, and adults are nauseated by them! Maybe I should invest in a good roof antenna and try to pick up some Canadian stations. I hear that they still run cartoons and lots of kid's shows.

Yeah, the cable costs about the same here. I remember when it was only like $35, then it went up to $45, and now its over $50. Not sure why, when the quality and programming haven't changed any.

If you really want to see those old cartoons and shows now, your best bet is to torrent them. Its not hard to do, you just have to know where to look. I've managed to find all of Chip and Dale, TaleSpin, Ducktales, Gummi Bears, and more. The quality of the videos isn't alway so great, but its better than nothing. I can give you more info on that if you want. Just note me.

The Canadian channels do show more of the old stuff, but I have no idea how to pick them up. A lot of the episodes on the torrents I find were recorded off the Canadian channels.

I have a torrent program, but my internet connection is a bit too slow to make it practical. I'm running on a ten-year-old computer with only 128 megs of RAM, so I can't actually watch most videos that I'd download. I could always burn them to DVDs, but it would have to be in true DVD format, as my player won't do avi, mpg or wma, as many new ones can. Normally, at my speed, and with my very slow computer, a two-hour movie takes between 10 and 40 hours to download using torrent, depending on the number of seeders. Needless to say, I don't use it very often. One day, I'll actually have enough saved to buy a new computer - but house payments, utilities and food come first! This is why I don't have cable.

I have most of the TaleSpin episodes on tape, but they came from a very bad source and are six-hour speed copies of copies of copies. Sometimes I will watch through all of them, but they are on the edge of being able to be enjoyed. I also have all of the Ewoks episodes in similar poor quality.

I have season one and two of Redwall on DVD. They were only $11 per season. I don't have the rest though, because everyone wants $60 to $90 for season three. I have season one of Blinky Bill on DVD, and wish they wound release the rest. I'm very slowly collecting Disney DVDs, as they show up in thrift stores. So, I do have a few things to watch. :)

Well thats cool. They do make DVD players that play avi and DivX files, though certain codecs don't work. A file can always be re-encoded to work with them though. They are Phillips brand DVD-DivX players and they're fairly cheep as such things go. Only around $50 or so, and they play regular DVDs as well. Its what I use to watch everything, even though I do have a computer that can play them. I just like to put them on the TV while I do other things on the computer.

I've been trying to find old Nick Jr stuff like Pinwheel and Today's Special, and I've seen where someone has DVDs of some of it recorded off TV. I'm just not sure if I want to buy it or not. I can't find them for download, so it may be the only option at this point. Sometimes you can find rare and old TV shows on cheap DVDs in dollar stores and such. I've seen some at Big Lots and even Walmart under $1 DVDs.

Even if I could play DVDs on my computer, I'd still prefer to have then on my TV instead. That would free my computer for other things that it was suited for. I would also rather see shows on a 27-inch TV screen than on a 19-inch computer monitor. :)

I remember Pinwheel, and I liked most of what I remember from it. I don't remember Today's Special though. Pinwheel was still on at about the time I got rid of cable, so if Today's Special came later, I would never have seen it. If it came much earlier, it would be before our cable system offered Nick.

I picked up some episodes of the Kidsongs TV Show for $1 at Walmart. I wish they would release all of those, as I love Billy and Ruby Biggle from that series, and the music too.

With one of the Phillips players, you could watch them on your TV as long as you have the standard red, white, and yellow RCA jacks in it. Check this out out, its the model I have.

Today's Special was on the same time Pinwheel was. I think Pinwheel came first, but I remember watching them both at my sitter's house since she had cable.

Maybe I'm just not remembering the name. I'll look that one up on google, and will probably recognize it. I remember when they would insert songs and other things between kid's shows, when other channels would normally be playing long streams of ads.

Do you remember a show called Copy Cat? It had a blue cat fursuit in it. There were a few live-action fursuit kid's shows back then. Remember Dumbo's Circus and Mousercize from Disney?

When my DVD player decides to die, I'll be sure to get one that plsys the various codecs. Right now, mine is working too well to replace. It's a Toshiba. It can play mp3 and wma files, as well as view jpgs, but it can't do any video formats besides standard DVD and VCD. I got it shortly after moving to Erie, PA, so it is around ten years old. It never failed to play a regular DVD or VCD so far. :)

I remember Dumbo's Circus, Mousersize and Welcome to Pooh Corner, but not Copy Cat. Tavi says he does though. My parents got a satellite dish back in the 80s and it was one of the huge ones. So I was able to catch a lot of feed blocks of old cartoons and record them back then. It got hit by lightning though, and never worked again. But then we got cable.

But I used to watch the old Disney Channel and Nickelodeon back then when I could, and remember seeing lots of stuff. I think the last live action fursuit/puppet show I watched was Eureka's Castle. That was shortly before everything started to change for the worse.

Eureka's Castle was good. I also liked a live action/puppet type show called Under the Umbrella Tree, and another called Goundling Marsh. Then there was The Reppies - a fursuit band, and Swamp Critters - another fursuit music show. I love the Swamp Critters music a lot.

I guess the show wasn't called Copy Cat after all. It was just the name of the blue cat fursuit. The show was called Skinnamarink TV. I had to look it up. That reminded me of another - Gullah Gullah Island. Someone build me a time machine - please!

I've heard of Under the Umbrella Tree, but not the others. Not familiar with Skinnamarink TV either. Gullah Gullah Island was one I saw but never got into. I was more into Pinwheel. It was what I watched when others were watching Sesame Street. Hehe

Sesame Street lost a lot of its appeal to me around 15 or so years ago. It's still good, but it used to be great. It comes across as being far too politically correct now. Everything on it seems more like a competition for attention, that being just plain fun. Even though I love Elmo to death, devoting more than a quarter of each show to just him sort of ruins it. Many segments seem more like ADD-inducing commercials, than actual learning opportunities. I'd still recommend Sesame Street over most of what is on today, but it's nothing like it was in its first 20 years.

I also would prefer to watch Pinwheel over Sesame Street most of the time, unless it was up against one of the Classic Sesame Streets. Then it would be a tough choice. I like variety, so I'd probably alternate in that case.

100% with you too!!

I'm with you 100% !! The same in my area!!

nice

Awws, they cutes ^^

Kissyfur was such an awesome cartoon. Toot the beaver was cute too.
