There were three things I loved as a kid: 

1.  Dinosaurs. 
2.  Cartoons. 
3.  Cartoons about dinosaurs. 

And yet, I somehow missed the 1987 gem "Dinosaucers": 

Holy crap!  I'm getting goose bumps.  This show had every element for the perfect 80's cartoon: 

--Dinosaurs                                                                           
--Kids in matching jackets            
--Space travel                                       
--flying motorcycles                             
--gloves with holes for the fingers                  

How could I have missed this show?  All I did in 1987 was watch cartoons.  Hell, I hadn't even started Kindergarten yet, so it wasn't like I was hurting for free time. 

Here it is again with some choice voice over work. 

And how hasn't this been made into a movie yet?  I guarantee this would make money.  Just think about "Transformers."  Are you thinking about it yet?  Good, now instead of robots, I want you to switch in some dinosaurs.  Okay, the dinosaurs don't change into cars or anything, but besides that, I think you can see what I'm getting at. 

Also, you will be humming the "Dinosaucers" theme for the next several hours.  That's my gift to you.
