Widget the World Watcher (1 Viewer)

Does anyone remember a show called widget the world watcher? Noone i've talked to can remember it existing, but it was around in the early 90's, and was friggin excellent. Super Ted also rocked.

I liked it.. The little purple shape shifter and mega brain, that head and hands that popped out of the watch...
It went to Tv when i was like ten or so

I remember that show! Anyone recall watching Bananaman and Lift-Off?

Captain Planet was the way to go

widget owned them all

from the horsehead nebula

Widget lived in a cave next to a beach with his floating brain dude, and there were two boys that went on adventures with him. Fun and hilarity ensued.

Widget scared the crap out of me, that purple bastard

Yeh bananaman also ruled, I have to agree. Speaking of captain planet, I found this the other night when I was procrastinating, it's pretty damn funny. Starts on page 7.

hahahah
technically mooting is the art of debating, but specialised for law students (correct me if i'm wrong)
but in the UNSW law sub-forum, somebody alluded to it sexually (see my signature) and the other meaning has stuck to the word 'moot' since

 

[tom_sampson]

Ahh i see, merci. Is mooting on demand a good or bad thing then?

 

[babydoll_]

A VERY good thing.

Widget rocked... I still remember the theme song

"Woah-oh, woah-oh, wiiiiiidget the worrrrrld watcher...."

Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!

GO PLANET!

With your powers combined I am Captain Planet!

Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
He's our powers magnified,
And he's fighting on the planet side

Captain Planet, he's our hero,
Gonna take pollution down to zero,
Gonna help him put us under,
Bad guys who like to loot and plunder

"You'll pay for this Captain Planet!"

(chanting)
We're the planeteers,
You can be one too!
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do,
Looting and polluting is not the way,
Hear what Captain Planet has to say:

"THE POWER IS YOURS!!"

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Woohoo!!! I used to love Captain Planet!

Ah ok then, i'll keep that in mind if someone randomly says they want to moot me.

Which show do you reckon was better, Widget or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original series, not this dud new one)?
