    For the longest time I thought this show was a fever dream I had. Turns out my Mum rented a VHS with a few episodes on it while I was laid up at home sick with something. This and Kimba the White Lion. I had those two on a loop while running a hard fever and they wound up fueling my nightmares for a decade.

    That’s my story. Go watch The Racoons.

      I remember seeing this series as a kid growing up in South Africa.

      Had no idea where it came from, it just started airing.

      I’m not sure how many seasons aired, but I was old enough to remember it so would have been around 1990 onwards.

          We didn’t have M-Net growing up, not until later on so it would have been one of the SABCs I think.

          Hell, I remember when ETV launched. Hell yeah! Another free channel to watch and I remember it came out swinging with Bay Watch reruns.

          I remember a lot of 80’s shows growing up, I think we got them a bit later on because well… SA was a bit behind and we got stuff late.
