Heh, I know. Some of the YouTube vids led me to clips of other things & I got all excited about the broom cupboard clip, because obviously nobody repeats links anywhere... :lol:
I realise I sounded negative about the other cartoons - but really, I loved so many of them at the time, I worry about myself. I'm not going to make a list. Oh, but I watched Dogtanian a lot, but it wasn't anything like Cities of Gold. I can't think of anything else that went on so long as just one story that was so complex. And there was that guy Mendosa who kept reappearing after being killed. And, yes, I've seen it on DVD in HMV. I wouldn't dare though. I'd caught a couple of D&D eps since being grown up & knew it wouldn't destroy my childhood illusions by purchasing the DVDs

The Mysterious Cities of Gold! I loved it! I need to rewatch it to realise how awful it really was and stop going all "WHEEEEEE!".
Also, I was sure as a kid it was in Spanish because it was dealing with South America. And then I was re-exposed to the theme song and realised it's in FRENCH. That was a shocker.
But you could buy it and find it was great, and then you'd be still obsessed with a 1980s cartoon and have people look at you strangely, just like me with D&D... :lol:
I know - it seems to have been a French/Japanese thing, which does boggle the mind a bit!

I suppose, to be fair, I was terrified of Windy Miller's windmill, so what can I say? (MILLER GETS HEAD SLICED OFF IN CAMBERWICK GREEN!)
